post video of big, fat Balancer bull calves................ :mrgreen: .................yes I would :lol2: Anyway I thought I would take a chance and share some footage of a Balancer bull calf that turned 5 months old today. He is a meat wagon already. He definetly has some flaws up front but lordy, lordy does he have some hindquarter :shock: He is out of my Gelbvieh bull (Paradox Atlas) and a Red Angus cow out of King Rob. He weighed about 85 lbs at birth. I am not the worlds best guesser on live weight but I am have weighed a bunch of them and I think he will go 700 lbs already. By far the best bull I have had born on the place. He has not even seen a kernel of grain nor has his momma. Everything he has he got from momma, grass and minerals. His momma always raises the heaviest calf in my herd. She doesn't even look like she has a big calf nursing on her. She is a 1,300 pounder that will routinely wean a 700 pound calf and still maintain condition. She will stay around awhile :lol2: Comments and opinions are welcomed and I know he is not perfect. I am not completely pasture bind :cboy:

Please ignore the flies on him. We had a big rain storm last night and it washed off the fly spray that I had on all the cattle. I'm thinking he will go an easy 800+ by weaning time if he keeps packing on weight at the same rate.

That's actually my footsteps. Somewhere in transferring the file from my phone to photobucket the sound got corrupted.
 
What are your plans for him? Being 1/2 Red Angus can he be registered as a balancer? I love a calf that can weigh 800 at weighing on just momma and grass.
 
I'll start the bidding at $300, this auction will close in 5 seconds and seller pays shipping. :D

This one won't be because the momma ain't. She is a well bred commercial cow.
 
Hoss he's a very nice calf. I agree that he is a little weak up front but you should see that get better in time i think. He sure enuf has some butt to him!

That is that Atlas 101N blood in him 3way. I think you can get 101N semen from bull barn.

I guess a feller should never hold his 44oz can of Colt 45 malt beverage in the same hand as his cell phone while stumbling around a pasture :lol2: :cowboy: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink: :drink:
