[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1524577, member: 968"] Can't tell much by picture. What I see looks OK. But, if you are in doubt, he is a steer prospect. It takes a heck of a good male to be left a bull, IMO. The biggest question is "what will you do with him if you keep him a bull"? Are you looking for a bull for yourself? If not, selling a bull in NY is no picnic. Keeping a bull around to breeding age is a PIA. I only sell bull calves. If they are not sold by the time I'm ready to ship my steers to the feedlot, they get cut & feedlot gets them at a discounted price. So, can be costly to to do that. Selling bull calves is not easy. People have to WANT your breeding stock. Everyone thinks since he's registered, he should be a bull - NO. Most times steering a calf is the most profitable thing to do. You have to develop a reputation in order to sell a quality bull. [/QUOTE]
