ONLY BEEF - the first time I read your remarks about the bull's condition, I figured your eyes were as good as your talki...I mean typing. However, I thought I'd keep my trap shut. After seeing these pictures though, you have to admit that it's pretty easy to see that this is truly a herd bull.
Compared to all the Tarentaise bulls I've seen, which is actually quite a few, I'd rank him in the top 5, without seeing him walk of course. Thick, deep, fleshy, and masculine, all in a smooth, straight package. They don't get much better.
And before anyone slams the yearling heifer on her 'hay-belly', as y'all seem to call it, that's how Tarentaise look for most of their 1st 18 months in life(remember saying the same thing about Kiku-fs's bull calf). They'll look pinched in the heart, and maybe flat-muscled, but as they mature and develop, everything comes into place. They're a very interesting breed, and I love having them in the mix of our crossbreeding program.
