Thank you all, He weighed 74 lbs. so he's a good size baby. He'll be for sale next year sometime unless I decide to keep him.

Well,lets,see How about to dog gone many. LOL. For real,I have 4 herd bulls that I use. I held back one smaller framed bull. He is used on my heifers only.
This year in the pasture I have 12 bull calves that I will hold back. I know they will not all make for breeding bulls. But I sure like to watch them grow.
