[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 381642, member: 4936"] I have a steer, out of a BWF cow by herf bull - if I didn't see where he came from I wouldn't believe it - he's solid black (really stands out at our place!) calved last Feb. and he's just stumpy, very short and just has a "dwarfish" appearance, can't really put my finger on what makes him look funny - and it doesn't much matter since he's going to the butcher tomorrow - but I'm just curious - he was a little small at weaning and that's why we kept him back with a few others for butcher - but now he's the same age as the others and about 6" shorter -he is really thick and wide and pretty long - I think carcass weight will be surprising but he just has a funky look to him? We've had his momma now about 6 years and she always puts a decent calf on the ground - and his sire is one of our older bulls? Just a quirk probably - maybe he's just a throwback to the "old style angus"? No offense! I tried to post a pic - but couldn't get it done?? [/QUOTE]
