Which one do we keep? We made a decision!

[Jovid]

Just brought home three bulls from the bull test and would like some input on which one to keep.

Thanks

 

[KNERSIE]

No 3 without any doubt!

by looks, #3. out of #1 and #2 - which one had the best ADG? were they tested for RFI?

# 1 and # 3 ADG were very similar at around 3.40 and the WDA was 3.10.

# 2 is out of a different bull and his ADG was 2.91 and WDA 2.96.

Unfortunately no RFI.

 

[lakading]

1. #1
2. #3
3. #2

you got that right.

#3 is the bull id keep.1 an 2 arnt that bad.but they cant hold a candle to #3.

If they are all the same age in thepictures, #3

 

[ALACOWMAN]

if their on test ain't they usually in the same age group

I would think so, but the pictures may have been taken at differnt ages. #3 just looks like a more mature bull to me.

 

[texast]

I would have to go with #3,#2 and then 1.

Bull #3 ??? He has very crooked hind legs, I would never use him.

#1 would be my pick...out of those three.

how did these bulls ratio with other bulls in the group - with respect to ADG? what was the expected gain the feed ration used supposed to achieve?

, I would never use him.

#1 would be my pick...out of those three.

your saying those leg's growin' out of all that ass are crooked?

 

[Wild Cattle]

Yep, way crooked.....yea he has a nice hip, but I don't breed cattle with bad legs. Structure first.

i can understand that.. i just cant see it.

I agree with this. He has a lot of meat and muscle but way to cycle hocked. He will have stifle problems and quit mounting cows before his time. sounds like #1 by be the choice for longevity and ADG.

way too sickle hocked?

 

[KNERSIE]

A little too much hock is a whole lot better than a little too straight.

The showring's idea of sound and what works in the real world differs somewhat.
