Bull calf-Updated

[Jake]

For any of you I have shared the story on my partnership on the registered cow. This is her calf, and April 1 baby, picture was in late June. Grew like a weed after hitting the ground at 70# My guess is he weighs in the 6's but I don't know for sure. He is moderate to small framed but wide as a tank.

Don't have recent picture, will after this weekend when I collect 205 day weight but I finally got the registration papers on him.

Nice boy. What took so long on the reg papers? We usually get ours in a couple of weeks.

I did too, just took that long for me to get it taken care of. Didnt' get my membership until about a month ago.

Good looking calf.

He seems a little nervous about the close up picture.

 

[Jake]

he's not at all flighty don't remember what was goin on exactly but I'm sure he was playin or something as I have other pictures of him runnin around with his tail in the air this was the only one of him standin still and it doesn't do him justice.

I found the date on the picture and it was about July 8. So he was rougly 3 months old, weighed around 300#.

Looks good Jake.

Weighed him Saturday, at 203 days he weighed 640#

Pictures aren't the best but I was trying to get decent ones in a VERY short period of time as we were short on time this weekend.

He sure looks good! Whats the plan for him?

Sure is a lot of mud you've got there, must be getting some pretty good rain.

We've been getting a bunch of good rains, should help the wheat a lot.

He's gunna be a herd bull, probably get stuck in the lot with 25-30 heifers for some rapid breeding.

Might collect a couple hundred on him for insurance. I doubt we'll ever actually sell any on him.

Heck of a nice bull! Thick, Muscle, Bone. Is this your first calf out of Legend or have you used him much? I have thought about A.I'ng everything to him next year.

If you want a good Moderate bull hard to beat Legend in my mind and seems your bull is following in that same mold.

Nice animal, thick and looks to have good length on him.

 

[Jake]

We have 2 calves by Legend, this bull and a commercial heifer. they are quite impressive cattle.

Being Angus, you expect to see a nice fronted, deep calf, but he also has a really nice rear quarters & good bone. Nice calf.

That was what I was thinking, when you look at that first picture when he was younger and look at his bone. I thought maybe it was an Angus X Maine cross or maybe Simmental x Angus cross.

All the Legend calves I have seen got this thickness and power to them. That is one reason many Club calf breeders use him when they want to use an Angus bull.
