Bull shopping 2021

[Silver]

I enjoy bull shopping season. I don't need many this year, which I suppose is a good thing. I did buy a couple of calves today that I think will fit in well. This full blood is 9 months old, weighed 928 lbs a few weeks ago.
Colossal 33J:



And this 3/4 Simmental (bad picture, sorry)
French Attack 19E:

Good looking growthy bull calves, did you pick them up at a sale or private treaty.

Private sale, they will be delivered to me in the spring.

That first one is a tank. That would equate to a weaning weight of around 400kg. That is what I aim for with my early calves but only a select few make it.

Nice bulls. That first one is AWESOME! Please post some pics in the spring. Can't wait to see how he grows.

If you are going to use them for bulls, you might want to check the scrotum on the one in the first photo. It looks rather short, although it may be the angle of the photo.

The bottom of his scrotum is red and blends in with his leg. Looks appropriate to size and age on a 24" screen.

My only complaint is that 33J has too much excess leather up front, nice stout bull otherwise

If you look close in this video I think you will see he's not lacking in that department. The 19E bull isn't either, that's him scratching his head at the start of the video. There is only 24 lbs difference in the two bulls I bought, and that also show up a little better here:

French Attack is very consistent with what he sires from what I have seen. The right kind of cattle. Love the first bull.

A Fleckvieh bull better have a bit of leather or he won't be much good. That's a breed characteristic at this age.
