Pick him apart..

Just wanted to see what others say about this bull, almost a year old and a 1000 pounds. Reg. # 16775341

He looks familiar. Have I seen this critter before?

He is not one of the other bulls I posted, first time he has been on here. Unless you seen him somewhere besides here.

He's a fine looking bull. In fact, as a newbie I'd go so far as to say I kinda like him. Now Ole Doc will come along at some point and set us all straight but for now my humble opinion will have to do.

Ain't much to pick on Tom. I would like to see some more nuts on him though! What's his story.

A bull we raised out of a bred heifer we bought. We raised a few bulls this year and have sold 2 or the 3, this is the last one left. One guy that looked at him really like him but most others have not even came and looked. Wondered if someone seen something wrong with him. I know his CE and BW hurst him but he changed a lot since he was registered, CE dropped and BW went up on his epd's since registering him. Maybe I just advertised him too high.

He's just a bit narrow based and the shoulder attachment could be stronger, otherwise he's fine.

Overall, he's really a nice calf.
To be super picky, he's got more "arm" than "thigh", which isn't perfect, but he's soggy and looks mild and would make a nice bull for lots of herds. I'd be proud to have raised him!

Now don’t get mad, but for me he has what I call a marshmallow look to him.
He looks to soft, fat not muscular, and I don’t see a straight line on him.
And then it just maybe the pics.

But I wouldn’t hesitate to buy him for a commercial herd bull, if the price was right.
On a scale of 1-10, I would call him a 7.
Sorry

Maybe he just needs to spend a little more time in the weight room buffing up Sir Loin.

I agree he could use more muscle. The pics don't do him justice on the straightness, took tons up pics just to get what I got. He would not stand still, good thing for digital cameras as I would have wasted a ton of film on him. The president and secretary of the local Angus Association came and looked at my bulls wanting me to consign them in a Oct. sale, the one guy liked this bull the best. Me personally like my other bulls better and that is what sold first. Goes to show the different taste in cattle.

Just curious Sir Loin, What part of TN are you in? Where do you sell at? I go to some sales in TN.
