All of us "studly guys" with big bellies are somewhat sway backed. :lol2: :lol2:

All kidding aside those are some gorgeous animals. I'd love to have one of them in the front pasture.

67 would be my pick overall judging from what I see in the pics.

67 is a good bull but I like 4,5 & 79 better. I like a deeper more soggy bull myself. also if i'm designing a bull i will take one with a longer hip any day.

 

[cowwrangler]

i like 67 and number 5 for my first pick

 

[Limomike]

i like 67 and number 5 for my first pick

Brian-

Excellent group of Red Angus bulls! In making specific selections of bulls to improve the genetics of one's herd these are examples of why a buyer must KNOW why he is selecting a bull for the future of his genetics. These are pictures of the side views of bulls, and to really make final choices, rear and top views are preferable. Of course, you know that, and these are just examples of what type and quality you have in your sale. I am also aware of that. But these are optimal beginnings of your current offerings. It is eye-opening how much quality improvement you have made in your offerings in the last four years! Striking improvement!

These bulls are ALL representative of "Herd Improvers", and each breeder can select from them the very traits and characteristics which will improve his own particular genetics in his herd. Assessing them for the "type" beef phenotype which I prefer, I place # 5 as my first choice. He has the long, deep, thick hindquarters that I look for first, the level top line, an optimal spring of rib and deep heart girth which he will pass on to his daughters in the form of volume for calf production, great bone, pasterns, and wide, broody head, which indicates fertility and strong breed characteristics. The seeming lax penile sheath in the picture I feel is only a "momentary" blemish, and not a fault. No. 67 and #79 runs close seconds.

Concerning the current "swayback" rhetoric which is going about in some of the threads, The 'physiologic' fact of the matter is - these are yearlings, per se, and the hindquarters of a bovine develop before the forequarters, somewhat like a gangly 'teen age human. Given a few more months of growth, and the Nitrogen-stimulating male hormones which thicken the leg bones and enhance the neck crest development, #5 will "pop the eyes" of most experienced cow men!

I wish you "deserved" good fortune with your sale results!

:clap: nice pen of bulls BRG! I look forward to more pics.

 

[MO_cows]

Wow! That is production to be proud of. I liked lot 4, he just kinda says "cow maker" to me. Tons of capacity if he throws his body type to his daughters.

are these fall yearlings? just wondered based on the numbers (starting w/ a 0 ) and the maturity they show.
