[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 223988, member: 1974"] Right now he's in OK condition, he's with a group that is cleaning up some odds & ends for forage. He could easily put on 200 lbs if we fed him heavier. The field he's pictured in is cornstalks with volunteer fescue. It was fescue for years until last year. We'll plant some sudex in that field as soon as it quits raining and in the fall we'll plant an improved perennial forage mix. Figured the bull might as well graze the volunteer fescue until it dries up enough to till the field. I hate to get a bull too heavy this time of year. He'll actually put on weight when he goes out to the breeding pastures because we have higher quality forages in those pastures at this time. There is a shadow on his hindquarter that misleads how thick his butt is. I tried moving him around, but take a look at the look he's giving me! I think he's annoyed that we put another bull and 2 cows I thought were in heat in a lot next to him yesterday. When the other bull bred one cow, and passed on the other I had to use this one to confirm the second cow was no longer standing. It's not nice to tease a bull like that. He is 5 years old and we've never had a problem with his temperment, but we try to maintain respect for each other. His calves finish very well at 14-15 months. And his daughters have great udders, and are making great mothers. Can't ask for anything more from a bull. The bull is horned, he was dehorned with paste as a baby. I've never thought of him as fine boned, could be the angle his back legs are in the picture. Hill Creek, he is sired by HB Horizon 4110. His name is HSC Bedrock 1420. [/QUOTE]
