[QUOTE="mudfork, post: 935843, member: 6686"] I'll reserve the right to be wrong on the age and current weight. All I know for a fact is that he was 516 on March 15. He may be closer to 12 months old, and could weigh a bit more than 700. He has been grazing prime clover, orchard grass, kentucky bluegrass, etc. for a few months. I'm no seasoned old head, so I may be off a little. I'll add this after checking him out a little more today. If he is carrying a testicle, it's dang hard to see. I suspect him a stag mainly because of the vast difference between him and the other steers. He is developing heavily in the neck, and is a real brute through the shoulders and brisket. All in all, he is quite beautiful, bones all covered, wide and flat across the back, and very muscular. Keep in mind that I'm comparing him to steers that appear to be a different breed. None of the others have the droopy, long haired ears. To be honest, he looks like a cape buffalo when you look at him head on. All that said, I appreciate the comments as I decide what to do with him. [/QUOTE]
