[QUOTE="oakcreekfarms, post: 742314, member: 3177"] Well I had expected more posts on this thread, but didn't get em. There is a little more to the story on these pictures. I did this post more as an example of what picture taking can do, a good one can make a good bull shine, a bad one can make a good bull look awful. And if you put the wrong two bulls together one looks small and the other big, or whatever. The first and the third picture are of the same bull, taken about 5 days apart. He is a very moderate frame bull, great depth, lacks a little length, but overall a great bull. When bulls look at you in a picture I find it usually makes them look shorter sided, less masculine, and usually hike up in the flank because they are usually turning their body and their weight is on the opposite foot. The bull in the second picture is a Ribeye calf, he is actually 6-8 inches longer sided then the first pictured bull. He is also a little framier then the other bull as well. He is a hoss of a bull, he has great depth of body, and his muscle actually runs deep into his leg. The shadows cover it, and the bale feeder makes him look smaller then he is. A decent picture, but since you have an off reference point to judge him, he looks smaller and the shadows cover his muscle expression. The two on the bottom are 3/4 brothers. The bull on the left is probably a mid 6 frame calf, the bull on the right is a high 5. The bull on the right is just that deep bodied of a calf, he is a bigger framed calf then the first pictured calf. Pictures make all the difference in the world, wish I was better at it. I thought it would be interesting to hear responses. [/QUOTE]
