As for the young man in the picture, like others say, make do with an eye toward exchanging him for a better bull ASAP.
For once, I have to agree with you.
Feed is expensive, pouring enough feed into that bull to get him where we is in good enough condition to descide conclusively that the bull is not good enough to show would cost 60 days and $100+++. I would not have showed that bull to a commercial cattleman with ten cows who wasn't going to pay $1200. That somebody sold it to a kid 'to show' is mind boggling. I hope the heifers are a lot better than the bull.
