[QUOTE="showing71, post: 982364, member: 11621"] BRG - I know "pictures say a thousand words", but I don't [i]think[/i] the picture is telling the whole story on his feet. Thanks for mentioning it though, I'll have to take a closer look at his toes when the mud freezes up again to be sure. I'm guessing he was just standing awkward on the frozen mounds of crap under the snow. The Dam, Granddam, and Great-Granddam all have excellent feet, so hopefully it's just the picture. About his head and crest, in our experience, the more extreme calving ease bulls like this one don't typically look real "bully" until breeding time. It always seems once they go out with the girls, they get the mature bull look in a hurry. Probably doesn't help that he's got his winter fuzz. When we torch the hair before their "official" picture, the crest they have is more apparent after we get the 3 inches of hair knocked off their toplines. That's always an adventure, if anyone wants to come help and stink like burnt hair for 3 days after torching 35 bulls, let me know! :lol: [/QUOTE]
