This is Mr HD's favorite bull calf this year and he is also the only bull calf out of my clean up bull that I didn't castrate . Unfortunately two things have now popped up from his head that were not there a few months ago, fortunately they are scurs as his sire has scurs in his pedigree. I do really like him too and he is growing very well and his dam is a very nice looking dark red GV . However I have found as of late that convincing commercial buyers that scurs are NOT horns is a real pita . Don't know now to bother feeding him out this winter for the seedstock group or cull him as a feeder next month . Totally confused, or not worry at all ,maybe not good enough .. ? Really am considering selling anyone with scurs in their pedigree so do not have to deal with this anymore or just selling the whole lot and not have to deal with any of this. :bang:
His DOB is Feb 23, bw 89 lbs unassisted ,I would guess he is a least 600lbs now , will know when we ween and weigh the calves next month.
