We have a big snow storm coming and more below zero F temperatures so put out some fresh hay bales and emptied partial bales from the feeders on the ground to give my cattle some easy grazing and a place to bed down in the snow and cold. They have no buildings just the woods for shelter.
My two bulls and a late born steer are wintering in a north facing sloped pasture. When I dumped their hay feeder on the ground near some trees, they looked like kids in a candy store. Heading down to the hay my newer Huth bull stopped in the snow and turned and looked at me. I snapped his picture.
Now I am not an experienced judge of bulls by any means. But I really like this bull. He has a good disposition, is deferential to me (moves out of my way when I tell him to), is very solid, and long. He is very moderate in size. He is a real grass bull - maintains condition with no significant grain other than a couple pounds training/gentling treat maybe every 2 weeks or so. Just good hay, mineral, salt and very good ice-free water.
This is not a skilled photographers photo for a bull catalog, just a late winter snapshot of a bull I really like.
He is never going to win the Denver or any other show but I really like this bull:
