Here is some photos of young Beefmaster bulls from a good breeder.

there are some awesome bulls on there...all the animals are top notch looking..wow
i think the long faced comments are something alot of the bfmstrs have. they just dont really have that blockhead until they grow older and fuller
im going to a reg breeders tonite to have alook at what hes got so ill try to take some pics

this one aint for sale

I aint bought him yet but I guess im gonna...

 

[dieselbeef]

18 mos..purebred /reg..I got the specs later

 

[Lazy M]

He looks good, nice choice!

 

[Muddy]

That beefmaster bull is much better looking than the two last bulls, dieselbeef.

 

[wacocowboy]

The dark one looks thicker but both are nice bulls. What is the pedigree on them?

 

[branguscowgirl]

Glad that you found a good one Diesel!

off hand i cant remeber the specs..i looked at so many bulls the last week.
the lighter one is partialy from sugar britches background but i really cant remember much else..he wasnt willing to part with that one.
the dark one is my prospect. once i get him home and get the paperwork ill fill ya in.
i dont own him yet. at 18 mos do you think the semen test will be accurate since he is so young yet. im sure he can do the job..even if hes a little short but would his count be lower cause of his age?

I don't see his age being a problem at all. Most all of the bulls at the test and private treaty sales are his age or younger.

hey since we are up..the gentleman i am dealing with brought up the fact that the bfmstrs mature a bit slower than some of the other breeds. i think we talked about it here and disagreed with it. well some ya did ..i didnt

As I have said before, I do believe it to be true with the Beefmasters and the Brangus. At least with some of the masculine characteristics. (I have not seen it with fertility though.) It seems that looks wise, they really blossom after they turn two. Just my personal observation.

Probably some lines do, from the breeders that strayed from the formula...some of those hand slung chitlin types...but they weren't developed to...

 

[wacocowboy]

Almost all my Beefmasters have calved on or before 24 months. I have seen young bulls who tested just fine at 15 months.

I finally got caught up on this thread. This has been a great thread.

He will be worth it and he will give you good calves than that black beefmaster.

 

[Rafter S]

thanks..can wait til he is home...cost me a penny tho

If he cost twice as much as that black one, it's money well spent. Probably even if he's three times as much.

 

[dieselbeef]

i figured that also.. thats why i went ahead with him.
