Raised bull

[JMJ Farms]

He was born 2-29-16, sired by Mr Amigo out of a Beef Maker cow.
Kingfisher - I can ask, but he is in NY, quite a haul to Texas! I'm sure not much. He wants to get his money out of him to buy a bull calf. I have buyers that buy a calf, raise him out, use two season, ship & use money to buy new calf. Calves this year are $1850

I'd pay $2k for him. But the freight to GA wouldn't be much better.

He is a nice looking bull.

Looks like a professional picture.

Never seen a professional cattle picture quite from that angle.

That looks about the way I take them. Lol

That was Vince who said that. So keep that in mind. ;-)

My sense of humor isn't making it through the Internet. In one thread recently on CT folks were saying you needed a professional photographer to make a good bull look good. To me this is a picture of a good bull.

Common sense is not common. As you recently told me.

Vince, Greatgerts is correct. That is not the angle a professional uses. Has nothing to do with how good the bull is.

Maybe some of the professionals need to take note. This bull looks a lot better than some of the bulls in the magazines.

I am not good at photos. Fire Sweep is. The criticism I get most often is not being "squared up" to the animal so the top line, depth and form can be evaluated. I think Kris or Jeanne can help us out on this discussion.

Jeanne, where in NY is the guy currently. I may know someone who is looking for a nice Simmental.

 

[insurman]

Very nice...what is his ASA#

I agree with True Grit.

Looks good, but are his nuts on the smaller side or just shadowed

I agree with True Grit.

You and Grit might be on to a new approach to Bovine photography.

The current state of the art is to square up to the subject and shoot the animal at a 90 degree angle.

I hope as Grit says "the professionals take note" because I actually agree. I like the way I take "natural" pictures of my cattle. I don't care what Kris says, even if she is right.

;-)

It has more to do with the subject than the angle. When the subject has a weak link it might need squaring up, or the offside rear leg forward yada yada. Some even use hair, some use hay, some groom, some even shampoo and blow dry. But when you have a good subject it doesn't take much of a picture to sell them.

Gotcha.

I agree also.

Sorry all - I've been at NY State Fair, helping Angus breeders show.
ASA # 3099275 He has great pedigree and super great numbers (even I'm impressed with his numbers, at least the numbers I am interested in)
I pm'd nagwag & talked to him.
I "think" we are only seeing 1 testicle.
Sometimes, a 3/4 shot is really super:


It does depend on the subject. I wasn't trying to get a picture of this cow. She saw me come out of the house, & I pulled out my phone.

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Added: Look at my avatar - I used that picture to promote that bull in National magazines. Following year, I started seeing other bulls pictured that way - I started a trend LOL

 

[Gators Rule]

I guess some are just so photogenic they can overcome poor photography. With that said, I guess your bull had a photogenic butt. LOL
