Thanks. We've used our bull because we weren't able to buy a bull. Last 2 years we've used our bulls, but 6 years before we were buying semen from vet, but we weren't very happy of calves results and it was expensive , so we decided to use our bulls, and now we're happy of our bull's results. We're thinking to buy a bull next year. So our bulls were like an intermediate variant before buying a bull.Taurus":3oapy5sn said:

Kind of like us, if we wear crappy shoes, it's bad for our feet, for animals having them toes growing too long can make them walk goofy to compensate the long "shoes". Over time, they might have structure issues or have an uneven gait, from walking all wonky all the time if toes are too long.

Plus if he's going to be mounting your cows, you want him to have as good of feet as possible to stay in good shape, kind of like athletes have specialized shoes for their sports. He'll last longer with maintenance.
He's a good looking bull otherwise. I hope he passes his gentle nature.

Nice fleshy cattle though!!
The 1/2 dairy 1/2 beef cow sure is impressive!!
Would've not guessed she has so much dairy influence if any.
