What do y'all think of my new bull calf?

[j&lfarms]

He is 7 months old and weighs 720lbs. I am planning on using him as my herd bull when he gets older. When the cows come back in cycle after calving he should be a little over a year old.

He's decent, his fathers epd's aren't impressive in my opinion, but your calf is decent, nothing too spectacular,

At 7 months old, he is looking pretty decent. Dont know about his EPD's but may as well see how he grows out.

The bull he is out of is in a former post of mine. I think he will be good for me for what I want to do. Most of his calves are around 65lbs and wean close to 600lbs. If the bull calf I bought follows close to the same as the sire he will do just fine.

He has that "bully" look already.

Where are you getting his sire's EPDs?

There was a pic of an epd sheet, but it's gone now,

Thanks.

Wish I could have seen them 'cause I kinda like the little feller.

I must have accidentally messed the code thing up earlier. I'll try and get it back up

Commercial operatio I'd use him. He's a nice calf and better than many that have been posted here.

Okay I try not to post my opinion on cattle, he's decent ...... Where's his azz?

Not a bad calf, i like him myself.

Those epd's are really geared for the guy with efficiency in mind, you trade the efficiency for a decrease in growth, not really my cup of tea, but with a positive energy epd you have a calf that will not require much input as others.

Agree. Like to see him in about a year. Hope he works out for you J&L.

Not bad for a still developing youngin.
I would love to see his progression.
