Brute, do you see something that would cause you not to keep him as a bull? This calf is softer made than some of the other bull calves we have right now, and maybe not as much growth during the first few months. He has a really nice top line, and looks to have nice depth also.
I actually did not see the part where you said... do you think he has what it takes to be a keeper? Being that the cat is out of the bag, no I would not keep him. Here are a couple reasons why.
1, I would not keep a home raised bull unless I was a big outfit in that game. You can not beat buying a bull, with history, ready to rock and roll. That is worth paying some one else to assume that risk IMO.
2, If you have to ask if he is good enough... hes probably not.
Keep in mind not all bulls that look good have the breeding to actually pass that on to their offspring.
That's just my opinion from a pic. Take it for what its worth. Its hard to tell any thing at that age. He may grow in to a beast. It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. :tiphat: I don't think you have any thing to loose keeping him to a yearling or what ever just as an experiment. We all like before and after posts.
