heres a pic of simba my herd bull
Of the 3 you posted I like him the most. The only thing I can fault on is needs alittle more muscle in the butt area.Other than that I like him a great deal.Does his calves come with that deep red color and do you get many paints from him?

This bull has some good things about him that I like. I think the bull has a pretty strong top. He seems to be sound in his legs and feet (as far as I can see). The bull has good length. His muscle seems adequate. I would like more thickness and hind end. I would also improe the angle on his sheath where it turns down. His sheath is acceptable, though it appears a bit worse in the second photo. There's a good attachment, it just turns down at the end. He's definitely in his working clothes. I'd like to see what he looks like in better flesh.
Big Bull,
Is he scurred or dehorned? How much feed is he getting right now? Are you supplementing all of your cows? If so, what are they getting? I know it's been pretty dry here for a while now. I have no doubt the grass quality has peaked out and is now dropping off.

My apologies Big Bull. I remembered reading that the second picture was your bull's offspring. I retract my statement of his sheath appearing worse in the second photo. I will maintain my statement that his sheath is acceptable.

Bigbull...I missed this post til today....Not a beefmaster fan so you'll have to take my opinion with a grain of salt, but he is a nice looking bull and in pretty good condition considering he's got 60 head to cover in that big pasture. Gentle disposition is important to me so glad to know he has that. Can never get use to the beefmaster sheaths but "if it works" what the heck. :nod: I like him. You should get some classy cavles out of him. :clap: :clap:

BB, he's a good looking bull and you should be proud to own him. One thing I was curious about though. I've always heard 25 to 30 cows per bull. Why not run another bull with him on that many cows? Do you leave him with the cows year round?

simba is a beefmaster bull not a simbra.he is out with the cows year round.since we like to calve year round.he is a well bred bull.i have 6 reg beefmaster cows that i need to pen off.an put with my cottons pride bull.im hoping to get that done this fall.when we milked cows we always ran 1 bull to 90 to 120 cows. that way the bulls wasnt off fighting when cows was in heat.
