He's got good epds for heifers, I don't see an actual birthweight on the reg. For future reference you should ask before buying next time around.

I bought him from a nieghbor that bought him at the Nov. sale in 2005. He bought two bulls that year and desided he didn't need the both of them. When I figure out how to post a picture I will. He is a very nice looking bull from end to end. He was calm and gentle when we moved him to.

bobby22-Yes, he would work just fine for heifers. His CED is +11, and his BW +.7. YW +74, CEM +12, Milk +26. He is a better than average Angus bull, and should help an average cow herd.bobby22":hu42lhdw said:

what does everybody think of this bull.

Your bull tends to be splay-footed, cow-hocked and lacks hindquarter development. I am sure that he has been working breeding cows, and his lowered conditioning makes him look worse than he probably is - genetically. But I am judging him as he is right in these pictures. An additional 180 pounds would change his appearance considerably. But he weighs what he weighs in these pictures.
But - extra pounds won't change his geneteic make-up. Actually, it will probably increase the "toe-out" condition.

to me, his weakest point is the area right behind his shoulders (there is almost nothing there, which as mentioned could be his condition), which allow every thing below to splay out, in my opinion. i am looking higher and higher up to see the causes down below. rarely do i see toes like this from thickness, or spring behind the shoulders.

Me neither. Maybe that was TurnMyJawLooseMaw or TCM69 or Cattlemanfromouterspace or...
FWIW I've posted pics of mine and never claimed they were the cat's meow but I'm pretty happy with them.
