[QUOTE="Keren, post: 707534, member: 3195"] additionally, he doesnt display a typical Square Meaters phenotype; the breed was developed for early maturing, easy fleshing, vealer cattle; this bull shows almost no breed character apart from the fact that he is smaller than the fence. He displays none of those characteristics which separate a Square Meaters from a Murray Grey. When you look at a Square Meater, you should be able to TELL that he is a Square Meater, not a Murray Grey. By the frame, but also by the muscle pattern, fleshing ability, maturity pattern etc. I can see the merit in a lot of bulls posted here, even if they are not my cup of tea, but this is one bull I would NOT use. I get the feeling he has kept his testicles simply because of his breed. Imho if you are wanting to use this bull, you would do better to use a small framed Murray Grey bull; there are plenty around that would certainly do as good a job or better than this bull. [/QUOTE]
