Chapman Pic's hardly ever does an animal justice just so much you can't see but the first bull i ain't wild about he appear's short to me and his sheath look's sloppy but he look's thick.
Bull#2 look's better to me good topline streight underline sheath look's better i like him.
Bull#3 look's good long stout made bull just a good thick bull sheath a bit sloppy but overall to me he look's good.

Bull#4Top line is not as streight as the other's but he look's long to me cant see his feet but he has a purty head good thick well made bull.Ilike him also now this is just my thought's their are more on this board more qualified to judge these bull's then me.

Romagnolas - I'll turn the first one Lyle in with a couple of heifers in July. One heifer (16months) is ready now but the other one is the same age as the bull (13 mon) wanted to wait till she was at least 16 months. The 2 - 2 year olds are on 53 head of Black Angus and are holding up good. Should have some new little ones by late September.

They look good, but my one comment is that they all look a little straight in their structure. What are your goals with them, of course if you're breeding for feedlot cattle, that would not be much of an issue. Not bad bulls.

The best black bull i have ever saw was half rom half angus. On some cross bred cows the rom bulls get some off colors, but on solid colored cattle the calves will be the color of the cow. Sure are meaty cattle. They get a litttle big for my taste.

i like everything except their sheath and excess leather.

Let us know about your calving problems, hope the Angus are large frame...Have a few Black angus and F-1 I like to use a Roma bull on just to afarid...

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

I know a guy who breeds angus cows to rom bulls says no problems.

 

[Australian Cattleman]

Handy bulls. They won't do you any harm. I like Romagnolas. Seen some nice Romagnolas Angus and Herefords in the past as well as them crossed with Brahman. Keep up the good work breeding traditional colours.

All of them are decent bulls, with nice feet, legs and muscle, and they are thick! Number four is however best of the lot, even if we can not observe his feet. Birthweights and WW?

Thanks for your comments. We are looking forward to our first Romangus calves this fall. I was able to witness some Romangus calves being weighed in. I looked through the ledger and only saw 1 calf that was 90+. The ledger had at least 70 calves posted. Now in the Romagnola ledger I saw 2 bulls that were 100+ but most were in the 70 - 90 lb range for the bulls.

Chapman - great bulls! I love Rommys.

I particularly like the last bull. He's a stunner. I'd use him anyday.

I prefer Lyle out of the two younger bulls, but with both of the young bulls their legs are a touch straight for my liking.

 

[Beefy]

omg, he totally looks like a Lyle!

 

[Cave Creek]

Very nice.........what is their bloodlines.

Each animal is from a little differant bloodline. I selected a good mix from RLW and SCR there are some good sires Prinhall Tommy, Thomas, Previsto, Renovator, Terminator. I beleive it's a good starting stock to get started with.
