bsr - you posted "please critique these cows" I only see one, and it appears to be a calf (I hope!). Also, the breed would help. I'm assuming HE'S a Brangus???

 

[1982vett]

Won't ever be a cow either. :lol2:

Nice well muscled calves. They look like F1s out of a Brahman Angus cross to me.

Where do you see the muscle?

Where do you see calves (plural) or muscle (at all)?

Looks like a scrawny Brangus bottle calf to me....

 

[Roadapple]

Agree, Dun. Looks like he needs some feed to me.

 

[greenwillowhereford II]

Looks hungry....

I'm guessing bsr is having technical difficulties with pictures.

The picture I see is of a brangus type male calf that needs food and looks sickly. I know pictures can sometimes be un-flattering but this is not funny. Since the calf is a a holding pen of sorts, I have to ask, WHAT IS THE OWNER DOING???

 

[ALACOWMAN]

if we critique him, well you promise not too use him.

I was trying to be nice which I have been accused of not being in the past. I think the calf needs some feed and has the potential to increase his muscle development. I've found that out Brahman Limousine F1s start out slow but but come on later.

I sent him a pm of how to post them the easiest way. He still hasn;t picked it up

 

[syork]

If this was my calf I sure wouldnt post it on here! He looks half starved to death and needs some groceries!

 

[braunvieh]

I guess to me it depends on what you are wanting to use the animal for....show animal, breeding bull or feeder calf. I think the only path for this calf would be to steer him (if not done already) and send him to the feedyard to feed out or the sale barn. IMO, it is a cull, unless there is a situation behind this calf and its condition.

 

[bsr]

he has good bloodlines. its just that he is a bottle calf

 

[ALACOWMAN]
