WOW! HD, he is a mass!
good looking bull...hillsdown":3ncqf011 said:Here is a pic of my yearling GV clean up bull. He is in with heifers and 1st calvers(2 year olds) . His is 113 for CE, but we will see in Feb when his calves hit the ground .Btw he has never seen grain either, just hay in winter and pasture grass in the summer. Is he perfect , no ,but I do expect to have a heck of a set of calves out of him next year, especially with this group of females he is paired up with.
Sorry for the bad pics but he is really hard to take a pic of as he likes to stay in between the ladies .
on pins and needles already , is he angular like you like emMassey135[u:2njpid9g said:":2njpid9g]Wait till I get a pic of mine Sunday. [/u]And he's smooth shouldered to boot!
you can just google up what's his bull looks like.ALACOWMAN":25hdq476 said:on pins and needles already , is he angular like you like emMassey135[u:25hdq476 said:":25hdq476]Wait till I get a pic of mine Sunday. [/u]And he's smooth shouldered to boot!
No, that's prolly why I'm not a huge fan of the breed. I've said this before, his heifers are too coarse made; not feminine enough for my liking. He's real similar to HDs bull. Her's prolly longer bodied, mine a much better hip. Same straight rear wheels.ALACOWMAN":3mf0x90m said:on pins and needles already , is he angular like you like emMassey135[u:3mf0x90m said:":3mf0x90m]Wait till I get a pic of mine Sunday.

That's a nice way to describe someone who sells underfed bulls! and if you want to argue with me look at his ww and yw. That's just plum disgraceful. He could gain that much(140lbs) on a water diet.
He had crap EPD's for growth and Markes made sure he didn 't escede them!

Hmmm? Crap EPDs for growth? This bull is a 70 for YW, which is only 5 lb. less than breed average. In my opinion, only giving up 5 pounds for a calving ease bull is pretty darn good.

I won't say a good fight, a good troll maybe.Gelbvieh 5":3owe1mt9 said:double v":3owe1mt9 said:this bull has gained during this drought without feed, i have never had a bull that gained as he has and no feed he is on a grass and hay diet.

By the way i have to wonder why you guys bother to argue with Massey. He is not really looking for information. Just a good fight!
