[QUOTE="phillse, post: 449233, member: 5684"] Thanks for the comments The first photo was taken when he was put in with the cows. He bred about 12 head and cleaned up about 17 more head after we finished with AI. We preg checked the cows and everyone was pregnant. So not bad considering the bull was put out at a young age. The second pic was taken when we pulled him off the cows so about 60 days difference in the pictures. I think he looks prety good for a young bull breding cows with no supplemental feed. Just grass and minerals. Especially considering the rye grass faded pretty quick here in South Alabama with the dry weather we have had. Arrow I have had several people comment on the fact that he may not be big enough framed. However I like the fact that he is not a monster sized animal as some of the cattle he is breding is a little big in my opinion. He is a 5.5 frame, and from his performance should throw some easy keepers. I plan on using him to downsize some of the females to around a 6 frame, which I think he will do and still maintain adequate muscle, growth and milk. [/QUOTE]
