[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 610475, member: 7439"] I never did manage to pull up the files I wanted with pics of my old Day bull at 5 or 6 years old, but found one with him at about 3. I don't know if it's the same for the rest of you, but seems like my bulls will look very good at 16-30 months, then they'll go through this stage where they are kind of less than photogenic until they reach about 4 years old or so. Top pic is of the Day Rupert Tone 092. He is a half brother to 943. Not a good shot, but does show his depth. The first two calves are his sons, both out of the same cow. Used a bucket with some cubes to get her to stay in place with new baby. The first calf was her first, pictured at 2 1/2 months if I recall. Second calf was full brother. The cow is now almost 8, so these are some old photos. The same old cow pictured again last winter, and her daughter with first calf on March 14 this year. The daughter was a three time breed champion 4H heifer for my son. That calf has been sold as a prospect herd sire since. The old cow is one of those "frail" Victor cows Herefordsire has referred to....she came from Flying G Ranch. The average weaning weight of both sexes combined for her calves is around 600# without creep, and on the type of forage pictured. [/QUOTE]
