I wish Boot Jack would comment. I think he is really full of meat/muscle. Should put some pounds into his calves.
I am flattered Jeanne. In re Gimli, I think overall, he is a pretty good bull prospect. I like his top line, depth of rib, and that he has a ton of natural muscle expression. He is carrying a nice amount of condition, where he has a bit of bloom, but you can still see the muscle creases. He is well-balanced and wide (side note, he beats the black hands down for width in his pins!) I love that he carries muscle low in his twist and gaskins. As others have said, he has plenty of chrome. I personally don't want a beef animal (or goat or horse for that matter) with white feet. I don't love the lack of set/angle on the rear legs (a common issues in most continental breeds) and he gives up a bit of masculinity in his front third. I would think he would make awesome steers, and mated right, could make some female with real performance. :2cents:
