I don't really think it much matters what any newb posts some expert will knock it for some reason or another. All of you that are so strong against this bull can I see some pics of your cattle?
Check out my bull

that can be true at times, but not always the case... but if anything comes out of this.. my guess is your next bull ,wont be as easy to pick apart...and when you get on that side, you'll be able to look back and shake your head...Calhoun Farm":16d71i6l said:

I would post pictures of my steer but I think he might hurt your bull's feelings so I decided not to post the pictures here.Calhoun Farm":2ew3vxhf said:

It may be that some are pointing out possible shortcomings that they have already lost money on in the past.

My orginal post on this thread was not meant to be against your Bull. I was trying to be honest and straight up. Like I said, I've bought some that worked out and some that I just couldn't find anything to like about them as they grew out.
Speaking of Bull pictures, look at the Bull below in BackBone Ranch's thread. I bought a Bull calf this spring and the M. G. Bull pictured would send mine to the back of the bus.

Last year's bull calf. Ended up cut him and sold him as steer.
Her dam is a second calfer
Last year's steer calf....same sire to the bull calf above.
Different steer calf
None of them touch grain, only momma's milk and grass.
Some members on here have better bulls than my bulls. Perhaps you should checking out some threads about Murray Grey cattle, the members have great bulls! Backbone Ranch put me in shame.

One from this year 5 months old. To be fair he is one of the top 3 this year
One of last years. At exactly 11 months of age 1250lbs
Hybrid vigor is a wonderful thing.

My point is that they selected individuals that has a chance to become a potential herdsire that will give you calves that looks like him. A famous saying I often read on here: A bull is half the herd.ALACOWMAN":vr6c9br3 said:None of them touch grain, only momma's milk and grass.

"A good bull is half your herd, a bad one is your WHOLE herd"
I think that's the way it goes.

Those are some great looking bulls, very solid with plenty of muscle.

Us commercial folks need quality bulls too and we do not want feminine steers.ALACOWMAN":28pyh7oa said:Not really.
