Post a pic of your bull

Here's my bull.

 

[Down in Dixie]

here are two of my new bulls. The ears on the one bull still make me laugh. He had an ear infection as a calf and affected how his ears lay. Other than that he looks like a solid bull to me. I will try and get better pictures tomorrow

Except for the ears i like him.

I like him. In the states we always seem to go to extremes, so around here he wouldn't have enough depth, he'd have too much leg, and too much apple butt. But the people in the states that crucified apple butts didn't know enough about what they were doing to do it well, and in some places people like some leg on their bulls so they can cover ground in sparse forage areas where cows are scattered over distance. Give me the right cows and that bull would throw the right kind of calves.

He has seven heifers to breed, so will see what he can produce. He won't get any others as you can't really register a crossbred bull as a sire, so he got only what can't be bred via AI at the moment and needs to get incalf asap.

Still not the best pictures but I was in a rush this morning. Any critique on them? They were on the lower end of the price range of what he had but when I picked them out I wasn't looking at the price tags. Both are 18 months and at least 1400 lbs. Down ears really stood out to me until he turned and looked at me. Give me your thought and opinions.

They look like new calf frozen ears. We will see a few calves with those ears at the sale in the fall.

Yeah, if the droopy ears were normal he's be a higher price... and I think that's a smart buy. He's the best of the three. Number two has too much of a feminine head for me, but that seems to be a trend and you get it by breeding for calving ease, I suppose.

Our second PCC bull. As a two-year-old he settled 38 of 40 cows — most of them in 60 days.

Top left corner is our "straw bull" Beefmaster
that we used on our old brangus cow with the big udder (the other pics are his sire, dam, and grand sire). Red Bull calf is 10 weeks old and has kept up well with her milk production.

Gonna start using this boy on cows for clean up this year starting July, I think. Pure limousine, homebred and raised. Born from AI, french genetics. Currently 16months old. Was born easily, but quite heavy, so suitable only for cows.

Damn fine... If he was homozygous black he'd get CAB for his calves here. Limousin are where I get my ideas of what we are missing in this country.

If he throws double muscling they will not grade.

One of the other flaws with CAB...

USDA has nothing to do with CAB.

She's in Lithuania-different meat grading standards

Yup... Sucks from both ends.

It is USDA inspectors at the plant that grade qualifying carcasses CAB or not.

This is our new PB Angus herd bull.

Any thoughts on how that sway back will work out?
