[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 616809, member: 7645"] I don't like him; but keep in mind that a fattened 18 month year old bull with not a care in the world but wolfing down hay is often going to look better than he would years later working his butt off (literally in his case). He is not getting any grain, he is working a bunch of cows, its winter, he's aging, I will cut him a little bit of slack. IF he is still sound and he passes his yearly BSE, don't evaluate HIM, evaluate his calf crop. Is he getting his cows bred? Do you think other genetics would improve weaning weights? Are his first daughters keepers or are they not as good as his daughters? Are his calves thick?? IF you think his calves are subpar compared to what your herd has done in the past, fire him no matter what he looks like!! If his calves are the best you have ever had, keep him and give him more to eat. [/QUOTE]
