Apparently if anyone doesn't tell Brook that his cattle are the very best they risk being banned.
Nice calf isn't good enough. ....
This used to be a nice place

Gator Bait said:I would like to see some supercharger calves or feedback if you have seen any. Thanks!
It doesn't work that way around here. You post it people see it, people comment on it. If you don't want that to happen i suggest you message the picture to gator bait.************* said:Gator Bait said:I would like to see some supercharger calves or feedback if you have seen any. Thanks!
I think this was the original request. If any other members of CT have Supercharger progeny, then please post them.
I believe Gator Bait wanted to see calves not drama.
Anything else is just
Ebenezer said:Just a question: how many here would pay for or use a bull based primarily on early pictures of calves? I do not mind seeing young calves but how much do you learn from such and what details are you wanting when you ask or see them? I know it happens but how much does it weigh on your decisions, is it a habit or a skill to see and assume the end product? I own interest in a bull that was purchased nursing his dam when the original buyer was touring the herd and was delivered after he was weaned. But the sire and dam were a big part of that decision based on past sibs and half sibs. Is that what you are seeing in these type pictures. Thanks.

Most of us fall victim to having "bull goggles". We look at mature 2,400 lb bull and think he's the great one and look at a four month old with nary a flaw and think that is the next great one as well. Most of our transactions are done from weaning to 2 years old and rarely do we focus on that product. But to answer your question, yes, the dam and sire are a big part of the decision on young cattle.

I totally agree with you, but some calves stand out from day one and never look back.

That's a nice little calf, but honestly I could put him in a pen full of black commercial Angus x calves and nobody could tell the difference.
