[QUOTE="Third Row, post: 547480, member: 3823"] [i]I’m only being so blunt since you asked. This is what I would be thinking while saying “Hmmmm, I think about it and get back to you” if I were looking at him at your ranch…[/i] I don't see anything visually about him that would indicate to me that he deserves to pass his genetics on. I don’t care about his ears, his shoulders are what I look at first and dismiss him as a potential breeder. His shoulders are way too pinched for me and that is reinfoced by his REA stats. The top end of his hind quarter is adequate but he doesn’t carry it down very far at all. The shoulders are something I would overlook if he were a calving ease bull but with a 94lb birth weight and no calves on the ground to indicate otherwise, I wouldn’t consider him a calving ease bull. I don’t see anything in his pedigree that excites me. He’s red and I require a bit more quality in red bulls because their calves aren’t going to get the premium black calves get. Bottom line, I don’t see any reason that I would want to use him and there’s no shortage of bulls in that price range. He’s red, has a relatively high BW, and doesn’t have a phenotype that makes me take a second look. [/QUOTE]
