This bull is approximately 5 1/2 years old in the picture, weighs approximately 2200 lbs.
This bull was almost 2 1/2 years old in the picture, unknown weight.
Both are registered Beefmaster bulls. I've seen calves of the older bull. His sheath appears loose but has a very good angle. His offspring seem to have tight, clean sheaths and clean underlines. The 2 1/2 year old bull also breeds true as far as his sheath is concerned. I believe the older bull is a naturally thicker bull and will probably always be. The younger bull will not be as big of a mature bull. The younger bull has a stronger top. From these pictures, which bull would you have and why? What are some faults and strengths of each? Thanks.
