Bull calves ready for weaning

Posted these pics on "show your calves" but thought I would post here also.
Here is a Shock Force son out of my old donor Miss Power Lass, born 1-30-18


An Executive Order bull out of a red Dominance cow, born 2/23/18.

Great lookers Jeanne, that Executive order looks tough. When do they get a change of address?

thanks all. A potential buyer wanted pictures, soooo - I followed them around and worked on getting something decent.
Have two potential buyers coming out. Well, one for sure is "picking" out his bull - already committed to buy, and have one other "potential". First come, first picked.
All the calves were worked on 6/26 and again on 7/31. Following is based on 7/31 weight:
3 3F, Shock Force, 500#, 2.75 WPDA
81F, Exec. Order, 450#, 2.85 WPDA
B3DF, Classified , 625#, 2.98 WPDA
Z3D, Uprising, 480#, 3.06 WPDA
Three of these bulls (all but 81F) are related to my donor cow Ms Power Lass. The Shock Force is an embryo out of her.

BTW - eartag in 81F is incorrect. It reads 3-23 but should be 2-23. And no, I'm not "fudging" on his date. If I was, I'd call him a 4-23 LOL Didn't have anything born that late.

Really like the looks of the 1st and 3rd calves.

All of them are very nice!

Nice Bull Calves. Really like the Shock Force. Brother had bought a full brother to Shock Force back when they sold at Sunset View. Kept him a week or two and got an offer for him he wouldn't turn away from. Wish we had used him some really sharp bulls.

The 3rd bull has been my heat detector right at the beginning of breeding - late March. He was about 2.5 months old. They all became active, but he was the most aggressive. He probably "could" have a heavier weight if he was less active. Have a couple of open cows that we will be culling.
Shock Force is a moderately cheap semen bull. Does not have good CE numbers, but I have never had a problem with his CE. He is pretty consistent at putting a good looking calf on the ground.

Awesome looking bull calves! They are definitely worth being proud of.

Nice..

Had a family here today picking out steers. They drooled over the bulls, but could not justify spending that much for a steer project at the prices they receive at their county fair. They picked out 3 steers and a heifer!!

Most breeders would be very hard pressed to put together a group of bulls that size that look that good. Uniformity, performance, style.... The blaze is a touch round in his hip/high in the tail head, but that's being ridiculously picky on a nice group of prospects. :cowboy:
