How old is he? Got any EPD numbers on him?

 

[Chuckie]

Have you bought him yet?

 

[uscott]

I havent yet and he will be 2 next month bw 80#s

 

[3waycross]

If he has decent numbers I'd buy him for that money!

Virgin?

He's showing a lot of masculinity for a Brangus bull that young. It's dam hard to find brangus bulls with a rump on em for $3400.

I'd use him. Stout looking young bull. Is he a 2 year old??

 

[ALACOWMAN]

yep, what more brangus should look like...

Have you seen him walk? He looks pretty straight on his back legs. Based on the picture alone, I wouldn't pay $3400. If he walks good, $3400 is pretty fair for a 2 year old. He looks good from every other angle.

Is he registered? I couldn't find him on the Brangus website.

That's a lot of money for a bull with no papers.

 

[insurman]

I agree that is a lot of money for non reg...

I am not up on the Brangus breeders, but I do know Trey Kirkpatrick at AMS Cattle and you can call him and I am sure he will know of something in your area.

With all that butt and size with a good pedigree to give you what you are looking for , $3400 does not seem too bad at all.

With no pedigree there might be too much in the woodpile ... if you know what I mean. I suspect very few commercial folks go to the trouble of weighing their calves at birth. He might have hit the ground at 115.

Just something to consider.

Plus he would have no resale value !!!!!!!!

 

[Bigfoot]

I would give that for him.

I sometimes wonder how many registered breeders ACTUALLY weigh calves. I have seen some sales where no calves over 85 lbs . I have have seen others though I don't question with a mixture of calf weights even up in the 90s.

I would love to run some Brangus bulls but with as many breeders as we have the quality is just so-so around here and most brangus breeders here dont register them.

 

[ALACOWMAN]

to me, the one below him 13Y5. is the bull to take home.....

I agree, I like everything but the sheath.
