[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 559557, member: 3162"] tatts I like the bull. I'd be proud to own him. But I still think a heifer would have an easier time with a 30 to 35 kg calf that didn't have block shoulders. The bull is only half the input. If you put him on a PB BM cow, you could very easiliy get an F1 50 kg plus calf. I have seriously considered a bull of that breed to cross onto brangus cows once my numbers are up. I understand they are very well suited for extreme heat. I have also heard that sales pitch from people pushing cattle that are not suited for my environment, even right here in this forum. If the number of my cattle were where I want them to be, he'd probably be perfect for my needs and I'd really like to give him a try. And as I said earlier, it is simply my opinion. Someone else will tell you he is perfect in every aspect. He'd deliver exactly what my freezer meat buying customers would want. He'd probably also trim the ear on my sale barn commercial calves. The only thing I don't like about him is the shoulders. I hope you post more pics of him as he develops and I'd sincerely like to keep an eye on him just because of my interest in that breed.
