[QUOTE="JWBrahman, post: 1133018, member: 18439"] You have a much better idea of what you have than I do. In the photo he looks a little thin and there is a lack of musculature in the rump. A weak rear will always make an old guy wonder if he has bad hips. His overall shape and that little pocket near the middle of his back hint that he is one of the larger framed genetics who is a terminal bull that throws bigger calves. The largest cow around here is a Hereford that looks just like him. A few hundred dollars of feed would still leave you with a great bargain and it would pay dividends when it comes time to sell the group. Not everyone wants one of the giant heavyweight Herefords so he will need more eye appeal. Remember, he needs to be in breeding condition 60 days before you intend to use him because that is when he is making the sperm he will be using to inseminate your cows. Hats off for having the set to engage in this type of discussion. I do not think you are immoral or unethical since you are selling the bull with the cows as a group. Like 3way said, caveat emptor.
