[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 734672, member: 5362"] If you're selling his calves at weaning age, he still might work for you. I really believe they should show some real potential at weaning and start looking like a bull then, than waiting for them to developed as yearlings or older. A lot of folks like to buy 2 year olds, I've never liked that idea, in my screwed up little mind, :) the only reason a breeder would keep a bull (that he wants to sell anyways) till he's 2, is because he had not developed enough to be put with the yearlings in the previous years sale. I don't want a bull that takes 2 years to developed. Ideally, for me, I want to see them look the part at weaning, but hold off buying till they're a year old, even if it cost a little more, most all the guess work should be gone by then. If this calf doesn't get a decent butt on him in the next couple of months, somebody will enjoy him for dinner, or breakfast, I love steak n eggs. :lol: [/QUOTE]
