[QUOTE="ROB, post: 564239, member: 3467"] thanks for the comments, keep-em comin. i pretty much agree with your opinions on the bull. he is a 4 yr old that had just come off a large group of cows when i got him. he is a neighbors bull that i am using- i had sold our angus heifer bull awhile back and hadn't found a replacement as of yet. this bull although visually unapealling does throw some nice looking calves - and the birthweights are in the low 70's. but i do agree that it looks like someone photoshopped the front and back ends together from two different bulls. He is long as a freight-train and weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 2200 lbs. anyone notice the fly's? i hadn't payed much attention until i looked at the picture and noticed all the flys on the bull. braunviehs don't seemed to be bothered by them. heel flys are sometimes a problem and the occasional horse fly- but that's about it. also, i appreciate the comments about the animals condition....i just don't take pictures of the ones im not so proud of. ;-) the plastic fence suprisingly does do a good job. it's slick so they don't rub on it. once in a while they will try to find the greener grass on the other side and get a rail off, but that rarely happens. i am planning on selling the heifer at a production sale this fall, her calf will qualify to register as a beef builder. im hoping that she will be of good enough quality to build a reputation off of - in order to establish a small time seedstock operation.
