From the pictures, I prefer the grey steer. He is deeper, has a better defined hind quarterm has more thickness over the top and is better sprung in the rib than the black and white steer. The black and white steer sure has an unusual colour, however, he doesnt appear to carry any natural thickness, nor a lot of muscle expression. He is really lacking in depth -- has very little body capacity and a lot of leg -- you cant eat legs. He is also finer in the bone than the grey steer. Both look like they are going to need a lot of feed, but on the positive side, they both appear structurally sound. They have good toplines, and are not as posty as most American show calves.

Let us know how they feed out, good luck and have fun with them!

ditto - I was thinking Longhorn X Angus when I saw that one.

I also prefer the gray steer, but good luck with both of them. Pour on the feed!
