[QUOTE="CPL, post: 592400, member: 6346"] I hope you don't take this the wrong way, and I hope you use it for his heifers your retaining, but if I was going to change this bull I'd give him a stronger top and have him carry some more muscle down into the lower 1/3 of his hindquarter. I think that would bring his flank down as well. It wouldn't hurt for him to be deeper chested, and (although I'm on a wide screen) I think he could still benefit from some more thickness and depth of rib. In no way am I saying that he's shallow bodied, but there are definitely thicker made Beefmaster cattle. I'd say he's a pretty solid bull that could have the possibility of having some decent calves. Is he a cleanup bull, or will he be taking care of the whole herd? When you breed his daughters make sure they are bred to a bull that will maximize this sires good traits and at the same time minimize his bad or lacking ones. However, as you probably know thats easier said than done most times. ;-) [/QUOTE]
