thoughts on young bull

[plbcattle]

What are your thoughts on this bull. he is 14 monthes old. he is plenty thinck, lots of bone but I can't get him to stand upright with head up and he won't pose for a good pic. This is the best i can get him to do. his BW was 74lbs ww 740 adn yearling 1280. he had a 13.8 REA (111 ratio) 3.71 marbling and a .25 BF.

Looks like a good bull to me. I like him.

Looks pretty good would like to see a better picture of him, his numbers look good also, little more sheath than I like. Beats the pants off that Tartar Sauce Bull that was posted earlier by someone.

Forgot to ask does he know kung fu :shock:

i dont know if its the photo angle , but this bull has no length, i have seen alot better brangus bulls , you should never buy a bull based on performance figures only , a visual evaluation is always needed.

Looks good, but would like to see a better picture. ;-)

the way he is standing and the angle I am taking this pic makes him look a little short on the length of body. he has good length but is not super long. he looks longer if he would lift his head up and stand straighter. I can;t get him to take a good pic. he has plenty of depth but I can't get a good profile shot. it's like he slumps his front sholders and head when the camera comes out. I was wrong. he is just barely 13 monthes old. I am selling him in jackson Mississippi stars and stripes sale. just wanted an opinion

I would like to see a butt shot. His not yours. ;-)

Even if you had him standing pretty I think he could use more length and tighter sheath. Over all he is a good bull with very good performance.

Sundance Kid's tag says that he's just over 13 month's old. I like the way he looks, and I would think that many people would, but his lack of length and sheath will probably stop him from selling too high. Will probably make someone a good herd bull, though. If he is deep as you say, someone with good frame cows, could use him to breed with.

It always appears that everyone is looking for that magic perfect bull. Well the perfect bull is nice, but how about a bull which complements your cows? I personally think the latter is more beneficial.

Caustic complementing a brangus bull - the hatchett breed. Plb, caustic must be growing fond of you. ;-)
