Hi,

Just thought I'd get some comments on this bull. What do you think?

I'll make it as quick and painless as possible as I'm tryin to get out the door.....if he were any shallower in the heart girth or flatter muscled, I'd say he'd make a better window than a door. Sorry cypress, he's just got nothin' to him. 'Course he's a calf and all ( I'm assuming anyway), but a herd bull prospect ought to have some substance to them at any age. JMHO.
 
Needs some groceries, nice fronted bull, got a lot of length, would of course, like to see more depth and quarter but the proof is in his calves.
 
Big head lol.

Looks like he's gonna tip over forward cause he aint got enough weight in the rear to hold his head up.
 
He's too young to tell, but does not look promising for several reasons, chiefly being that it looks like a hydrogen bomb just detonated a mile or so behind him.

He's in a small pasture where he's getting feed every day (about 5 lbs.) and ryegrass and free choice hay. I thought I would see how he turns out after a little while on feed.

We all have duds, just haven't made my mind up about this one yet.

Keep the rips coming though. don't hold back!
 
I'm like Crowder. The head is the first thing I noticed. And I agree with MikeC about the feed. He'll look better, but won't be any better.

He's gonna be a pretty big boy then. I tell you what Cypress, I have seen people use a helluva lot worse bulls. But what would you be breeding him to? He's pretty leggy.

Not sure that I'm gonna keep him, but I'm trying to move my herd more to the angus plus type, maybe even a few more beefmasters. Thought that the double black 80% angus would help produce more sought after calves. He does have a watermelon head, no doubt. If he turns out was planning on putting him on some brangus, black baldies, or beefmaster cows. He's in a growth spurt now. I brought him to the front and feed him every day a stocker grower (14%) feed. I guess we'll see. Right now, he's just at the project stage.

The only way you'll ever know for sure is to have some calves from him. I think I would be giving him more than 5 lbs of feed too.

I was thinking about doubling it, or maybe even go to 15 lbs. Just can't seem to make up my mind about him.
