[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 671941, member: 1017"] Rocket, I again thank you for taking the time to post pics and try to explain your point. I won't go into a long discussion about your cattle, only that they look "well fed" in these pics. If they do that on grass alone, I salute you for having a well trained eye for picking cattle, because it appears you have picked some nice ones. I suspect you supplement your cattle because the pasture that cow is on would far from sustain the BCS she is carrying. I don't have a problem with supplementing, but my situation doesn't allow me to do so. We all know that fat hides a lot of faults as was mentioned earlier and I think we can both agree that my bull calf is in no where near the BCS that your cattle are. To me, you are comparing apples to oranges by trying to evaluate a BCS 6 calf in the same manner as a BCS 7-8 cow and bull, which is why despite all of the wisdom of this board, I will keep him a bull until yearling. At that point maybe we can reevaluate when he has that finished look that most desire to see. I do think you may have proven my point to some degree though. Look at your bull pics, the first pic he looks short coupled and short legged but he still looks OK. But in the second pic he has his head cocked sideways which causes a very noticable dip in his topline behind the shoulders, similar but not as severe as my bull. It is not until the 3rd pick when he is standing above you on level ground, stretched out and quartering toward the camera that he really looks nice. P.S. I do not own a copy of photoshop. If anyone thinks that pic was photoshopped, they are sadly mistaken. That's not my game, I'm not trying to sell show cattle. [/QUOTE]
