Thanks
 
how old and what is the SC on the 3rd bull? They are all different angles so it is hard for me to compare certain things I look for. I may be inclined to say I like them 3,1,2. I thought 2 looked to have the least girth. Not sure about 1's hind legs.
 
I am no hereford or angus lover.
That said no three rank highest in my opinion; he is thicker and has the most correct bonestructure.
Maybe he is a little bit older than the others?
 
Sorry, I should have added this information with the pictures:

First Bull, 17T

Third Bull, 20T

Sire: BBSF 2214 Ramrod 10R

I have not had a BSE test or measure for SC yet.
 
I like 1 the best. I think his hind legs are fine. Something about 3 just tells me he won't balance up as well as 1 when viewed from the side. 2 just isn't doing it for me. What's his frame score? In the picture he looks like a monster. Not so sure they're perfect, but they are definitely not bad bulls by any means. What are you using them for?
