[QUOTE="townfarmer, post: 675522, member: 9305"] Had this new guy delivered last week. I'm mindfull of a recent post from Doc Harris stating the importance of giving background and operational details when asking for a bull critique. So here goes. We have a small herd of ten commercial highland cows. We plan to sell the offspring as weaners to the local saleyards and if we have a good season grow them out and fatten them on grass. Maybe keep one a year for the home freezer. We plan to buy replacement highland cows so this murray grey highland cross is strictly terminal. We chose a murray grey bull because we want polled offspring that are early maturing and can be finished on grass. With that in mind what do you think of this bull? Be mindfull that he has come from drought conditions. When I say drought I mean dustbowl drought. I'm new to the cattle industry and eager to learn. My thoughts on this bull and feel free to shoot me down if you disagree. He is small framed, he seems masculine, well balanced and I really like the way he moves. He could do with more depth, width and muscling. What do others think??
