Exactly 2 years old, in his working clothes, taken from extremely dry veld, just brought him and another bull in to pasture on yesterday. (the other bull is being fattened for a sale and he is just there for company) He is by no means fat, but in decent condition considering what he had to live on. He is one of those bulls that I would have loved to show, but he just doesn't want to eat grain or any form of concentrated feed at all so getting him to compete as a young bull was always going to be difficult. He is a paternal halfbrother to most of the cattle I've posted recently and probably out of my best cow. He isn't a big bull by any means, probably between a frame 4.5 and 4.8, but he was tall enough to breed frame 6 cows at 15 months old as can be seen in the last pic.
At 15 months old in better times breeding one of my better big cows.
