I made my pick of heifer bulls

[farmwife]

I'll jump in...

They seem to be thick enough and structurally sound. However, I would like to see the first bull cleaner fronted and longer bodied, but he is plenty capacious. The second bull is just not my style. He seem tubular and cuts up in the rear flank. Both seem to be sway backed as well.

I like the first one best when comparing phenotypically. I realize the second bull has better numbers, but most commercial guys don't buy based on numbers.

Are they Salers from Colmore Farms? I would like to see the first bull with the second bulls #'s.

The IMF on all the bulls is too low for quality grades and for the current grid market system.

If the pictures don't tell the tale, it's hard to tell.

Ultimately, which one do YOU like? If the second bull really looks better than his picture and has better numbers . . .

Personally, all things being close to equal, I like the idea of someone (reputable) feeding and showing my bull for me when I don't need him on the farm.
