What's his scrotal circumference sporder?

 

[sporder]

dont have it to hand but can get it tomorrow. although they dont hang too low they are a good size and even. his scrotal size ebv is in the top 1% of the breed

His numbers look pretty good to me but I'm certainly no expert.

he is a nice solid thick bull.

I can't access his ebv's. He seems like a better than average polled Hereford. I would like to see a greater spring of rib and a deeper heart girth. This would optimize his progenys capacity and volume. Great hindquarter depth and length.

Thanks Tennessee Tux! On the fourth try, my "Vista" programming decided to function properly!! I always blame "Vista" for any inadequacies when my computer skills fail to perform properly!

Impressive ebv's (EPD's), particularly the Marbling and RE.

[sporder]

bulls are nt supposed to be pretty. that worrys me! do you mean he is not masculin enough

 

[Old_man_emu]

how are the calves from this bull to be marketed?
I.e is he a stud sire and his better male offspring will be kept as bulls or is he being used in a commercial self replacing herd?

Wow! I never would have guess that.

I don't think he's feminine but I sure agree he's a purty rascal.

 

[sporder]

the best 3-4 bull calves will be kept it tact to see how they grow. others will be steered. best females kept as replacements others sold on

 

[sporder]

Tennesse Tux this is for you
