[QUOTE="RoanDurham, post: 1135954, member: 22389"] The bull is not too fat. He might be a bcs6. I don't see fat deposits anywhere and as soon as the video starts, you can somewhat see the outline of his ribs. The problem with the bull is his length relative to his height. He has tremendous length but unfortunately cannot even begin to cover his tracks. I would never consider a bull who couldn't hit his stride. On a cpl hundred acre ranch, I wouldn't expect this to limit his mobility much. On the other hand, I would never expect his to hold up turning him out on a section or two. I also don't care for that baboon tail as generally the higher the tail head is, the narrow the animal will be in the pins. This creates a pelvic cavity that is taller than it is wide. MCE then becomes an issue. The mature frame score of this bull gives you no indication of his growth curve nor does it give you any indication of the frame score of his calves at weaning. To sum, if he could cover his tracks and had a better tail head, I think he'd be an excellent bull. [/QUOTE]
