New Red Angus Bull, comments?

[Carnivore]

He is one year old, weighs 1275 lbs. Interested in your comments, good or bad.

Straight top, straight underline, needs more muscle b/c he's way too flat in the @$$. Doesn't appear to be all that thick over the top. But a decent calf nonetheless.

 

[warpaint]

Not bad for his age.

At what point does he become a bull and not a calf?

 

[warpaint]

If you're asking when to turn him in with the cows, I like to wait till they are 2 yr. olds. It varies with the person you talk to.

 

[Carnivore]

Actually, I was just wanting to know why he is called a calf, and not a bull. Is there a magical age when a calf becomes a bull?

Secondly, waiting is not an option, as I have a cow that hasn't been bred for 2 years, and a 2-year old heifer that is really wanting to get pregnate.

Now that's interesting, why hasn't the cow been bred for 2 years?

She suffers from the same affliction as many single mothers do. No man in her life... :shock:

Calling a yearling bull a 'calf' is more or less just a slang term. Yes, he's a bull capable of 'pregnating' your cows, but he's still a young'un, and it's just something I call yearlings now and again.

As for your cow, why are you paying for her to be on welfare, not making you any money for two years straight?

Plenty of things that he's lacking to call him a pretty good bull. I would let someone else own him.

You need a better pic on that yearling topline is decent,from the pic I don't like his spring of rib, and he looks lacking in the round steak area. Not a bad young bull just not great either. I would like to see him from some different angles.

That's a pretty sad story, sounds like like a recipe for a profitable operation. :shock: Did you eat the bull like you ate the 4 or 5 year old shorthorn cow you had? :lol:

 

[Jovid]

On a scale of 1-10 I would give him a 4 1/2

 

[rkm]

He sure beats 2 years of nothing. Probably looks like a 10 to that cow and heifer.

Actually he was born a bull. Bulls and heifers. Those are your 2 choices at birth.

I haven't had cows for the money, just for the home grown, steriod/chemical free beef. With getting the bull, I am looking to purchase some good Angus heifers and see if I can raise a few for sale. I can likely sell off all I can raise directly to the consumer.

who is his sire and dam?

Thank-you for your straight talking. Hopefully he will work out okay in the long run. If not, we will eat him.

Yep. Didn't eat too bad either.

Being generous, I see
