Nice looking Bull with good numbers. Congrats.

he has got decent bone for a heifer bull.

His first calf crop is on the ground and the birthweights are all in the 70's and 80's. 30 months old, plus or minus 60 inches at the hip. He looks good on pasture and mineral because the Hereford went through the fence and bred most of the commercial cows. hahaha

Here's another pic broadside.

I really like this photo of him; he has great capacity, a good back end, and a decent crest on him. How old is he?

Nice bull......How old are your heifers when you breed them and will this young bull be put on them before proving he wont throw large calves?

You got to remember there are 2 sides to genetics. A good cattleman should be able to buy a bull by looking at him and use him on whatever they are buying them for with no issues. I have never in my life bought a bull for heifers and used them on cows first, how do u know its the bull throwing the big calf???

He was born 2/7/14. B&G

Thanks everyone for the kind words. BTW, I did know what I was looking for when I bought this Lad. He's going on a batch of mainly strong Angus heifers with big CE numbers smaller BW numbers. Although with him and the Acc.#'s I'm not sure I would be scared anyway. B&G

He's a good looking bull! Hope he sticks around for a long time for you. His CE is high enough that even if he proves to be 10% worse he'd still be calving ease and if he slid 30%(unlikely) he still wouldn't be a cow killer by any stretch of the imagination so I'd use him on heifers and never look back.

Thought I commented on this yesterday, but I don't see it. That is a nice looking bull. I'd be proud to own him.

 

[Black and Good]

I like him. I've got to get me one before fall.

I'd like to see a picture of him from the front.

Here you go Deepsouth these pics are a little better. B&G

He belongs to my younger cousin. He used him on the ABC cows with no problems. As a matter of fact he was asking me if anybody wanted to buy him a few months ago when he was feeding him. haha

Nice bull, B&G. We used an unproven polled Hereford last year with lbw & high CE numbers and had no problems so far.

Management is probably just as or more important than the EPD's when calving heifers.

 

[Black and Good]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I'm really liking him a lot so far. He's just as easy going. I can walk right up to him already and scratch him on the tail head. I'll try and get some pics of him out with the 15 heifers that he's going to breed. Planning on turning him out around April 15th. :tiphat: B&G

I like him a lot!! Confidence sons are all over the place and bringing some darn good prices.

Are you planning on retaining any heifer calves out of him? If so, I will say I've seen a few young females sired by Confidence, and he definitely will give you a moderate/smaller frame cow. Sorry, probably a predictable and maybe useless piece of info, but I was just curious. :2cents:

Yeah, I planning keeping some of the best ones for replacments. B&G

I like the collection of secondary sexual traits. Handsome young man; I hope he serves up a nice set of calves for you next year.
