[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1135945, member: 637"] His back legs are messed up. He is limping on the right one, and on the 40 second mark, the foot breaks over. With the weight they have on him, with bad rear legs, either they are going to have to take a lot of weight to keep him standing, or he is going to go down. I doubt if he could stand to service many cows with the weight and the leg issue. He is of OCC breeding, and he seemed to have inherited the genes. I would look to other OCC bulls to see if I could find something more sound. He has a lot of good points, as his length, neck, etc....but the legs erase all the good. One other thing that would apply to my area, he is such a small bull, -4 frame, that his calves would not sell well at the sale barn with calves of the same age. I have always wondered if the smaller ones get down in the trailer, or do they get knocked back at the feed stations?? I am not sure why the pricing is different. Or maybe because, they just know they can do it. [/QUOTE]
