Appreciate you're observing him. I feel like you're about as competent as they come to critiquing an animal. So thank you. I'll try to get a couple pics of his feet and legs on better ground. If nothing alarming I might use him on some franchise heifers if I don't find a better replacement.Can't tell much about feet & legs in pic - but he looks thick & deep.
My kelpies are good herding dogs but the calves often want to turn around and face up to them, I often have to give them a bit of encouragement by saying tch, tch,tch and they know then they are allowed to nip them on the nose to get them moving.View attachment 53204
The red herd usually rotates to the pasture off my back fence right after calving. Wobble patrols the fence and all the cows and calves lick him when he stops to visit. His "Christmas morning" is the day I let him out and the babies are here to visit him. Visit him. When the bulls are here, he pees on the fence a lot.
It shows - he appears to have lost condition. Rule of thumb - a young bull should only be with number of cows equal to number of months old he is. 14 months old = 14 cows.He's been with 33 ladies for 5 weeks.

Does he grow another one?
