LA, Do you actually use your bull natuarally or is he strictly collected and pen kept. Seems awful large to be a pureblood Angus, but that's just my opinion. How large are your cows? Have you intentionally increased the frame of your herd over the last 10 to 20 years? No offense intended here.
Aaron, Even if the Dan son you showed is a yearling, I wouldn't be posting pictures of a bull smaller or equal in size to you cows....it might offend another canadian breeder, and put all of you in a bad light! ;-) (just joking). I think SRR might get my drift though. :shock:
The Dan bull was 3 years old when that picture was taken. His sire was a bigger bull at 2200 lbs, but this bull got his mother's size. He is very moderate frame, not quite enough growth in the calves though. But I like the groups of calves because they all grow and fill out similarly, with most steers maxing out at a live weight of 1150-1200 lbs.
What was this steer's carcass weight. Also what did he grade, choice or prime and if choice was it hi or low. Also what was his Y.G.Aaron":y1ff75rq said:Other steer on the right, was 18 months at slaughter, about 1200 lbs live, and was the best steak I have ever eaten.
Thanks.Aaron":1ngirmc8 said:I don't know. He was butchered on farm and processed at a local cut-n-wrap operation. All of our animals dress in the 55%-60% of live weight range. Judging by the steaks, I bet he would have graded AA or Prime in a inspected plant. Most of our animals tend to have a Y.G. of 2.

He is double bred whitewater with some K66 Rapid Fire. No, haven't bucked him yet. Won't do that till he's two. I don't want to risk injuring him.Triple B,
Whats he out of? Buck him yet?

What Dan bull are you talking about? It says your from Canada, but there is a guy from here that has a bull, LLLT Dan. MCR I believe. nice calves though.
