I kept 3 bull calves intact this year... I'm going to have a bit of a time choosing which one I keep.. they all have their strong and weak points
They're hard to get good pics of
Ares is the one nursing Cenci, maternal brother to Zeus, I got a few calves from him this year and they're pretty good looking... Ares has the deepest chest
Pan is the close one, Chroma is the momma, he's just smooth all around
Tommy is on the right, Prada (full sister to Chroma) is the momma, she had the twins last year, and Tommy is the biggest calf this year I think, definitely has the most length
Ares
Pan
Prada and Tommy
Here's a couple of Zeus's heifer calves, I'll probably keep the first two
Itchy
Scratchy
Verossa, she looked great younger, but I'm liking her less as she grows, probably sell her... kinda skittish too
And this heifer is a wildcard, not sure of the sire, Momma is Zeus' 7/8th sister... I like her build, she might stick around (Lilly)
This one (Poppy) is impossible to get a side shot of, she's always right up to me getting attention, Momma is Kama (Cenci's full sister), so she's pretty much a full sister to Ares, Steer in the background is "Chunker".. he's from Zeus
3J is Java, she's registerably purebred Gelbvieh, her sister (from Hector) is looking real good as a yearling
4J with momma.. Not fond of this one at all, not a flattering pic but that wouldn't help, she just seems narrow throughout
If I needed to keep one more, I could consider this one (Supra), her sister is my "Ooops" momma, Not exactly the build I'm looking for but I think would make a fine cow
