[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 475034, member: 5601"] CRR, Boy this is a tough one to judge. He has his good points and his bad points and IMO both good and bad are somewhat extreme. As you know the cow will donate 50% to his off spring, so the question is will she makeup for his bad points. Who knows? I sure don’t. If I were considering buying him, I probably wouldn’t, unless the price was right as he just doesn’t have what I look for in a bull. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have what you are looking for. Obviously I am only judging him on what I can see in one pic, so after looking at the pic long and hard, here is an old time trade secret I used. As I am working with a pic on a computer screen it’s a whole lot easier then if I were viewing him in person. I simply placed a 3 X 5 card against the screen and blocked out the rear 2/3 of him and only looked at from behind his front shoulders forward. There I found many good attributes, (muscular, well built, small head) except for his short front legs. But when I blocked out his front 1/3 and ignored his penis sheath and whiskers, I see a cow, not a bull. And that is where I see all his bad features (poor body lines, barrel belly, lack of muscle). If he were a yearling I could excuse some of his faults, but not at 3 ½. Sorry, but hey, I got one that looks even worse then him. I’ll post a pic of him if we get some sun light tomorrow.
