Which red? The red and white is for sure going to be a rug in my new house.That red sure has the stuff, doesn't he?
The solid, pard. I like his looks. He'll plate well.Which red? The red and white is for sure going to be a rug in my new house.
Oh yes, thank you. He's actually the smallest frame wise of this group. However, like you said, he is maturing well.The solid, pard. I like his looks. He'll plate well.
Oh yes they are getting free choice hay, and almost 20lbs of grain per head per day. I'd like to increase the grain but with grain prices, I really am having a hard time doing that.Pour the feed to em.
Sometimes the frame size and the fullness of certain cuts aren't hand in hand. He's built well for some osso buccos, got a better fill-in where I like to cut my roasts at, little extra rib, etc.Oh yes, thank you. He's actually the smallest frame wise of this group.

You are really having a hard time with the grain prices but not so much with making a rug from the hide of the red and white.Oh yes they are getting free choice hay, and almost 20lbs of grain per head per day.

Ouch… yes you are right there Lee! Priorities I guess. Hide rug is a must because I've never had a hide like this before.You are really having a hard time with the grain prices but not so much with making a rug from the hide of the red and white.
Decisions ! Decisions!
a young well fed bull is just fine in my experienceHere's the results (hanging weights): 816, 762, 773, 827, and 764.
Side note - do young bulls finish out ok? One of these guys was a bull, people I got him from missed a nut. Hope the meat will be ok.
I've fed bulls for my personal table more often than steers because they have more money cuts and quality is actually higher.Here's the results (hanging weights): 816, 762, 773, 827, and 764.

thanks for updating us on it too!Thank you everyone for the kind words! My goal was 750-850 and I'm glad I met it. I wish I took photos of them right before processing. They had lots of good fat to them! Can't wait to see how the bull ends up tasting. It will by the first bull I've done.
