Right there Pure is one of the keys to making money in the beef business. Easy keeping is one of the most ignored or underrated traits that I can think of. Its been my experience that if you have a bull that can breed a whack of cows and never lose shape, you'll end up with a bunch of calves who have excellent feed conversion rates. With oats, barley and corn prices shooting through the roof, the only people who will make good money are those whose animals exhibit excellent feed conversion rates.
Back to the original topic, I like the bull, especially that little wee head. Good front shoulders, and I think his crest will come on a little later. He's showing signs of it anyway. His hind end looks a little light, and he's pinched up a bit, but thats characteristic of modern Shorthorns. He's also showing too much leg for my liking. Knock 8 - 10 inches off his leg, and I think you'd see a doggoned good bull standing in front of you.
