He is a beauty phenotypically. Real powerhouse. My only question, and I may be over analyzing, it didn't appear like he tracked quite right in the video? As in his rear hooves missed falling where the front hooves struck the ground by what appears like a good 12" in the video. Is he just that long? Flexibility issues? Maybe im making a mountain out of a mole hill?
With all due respect BBall, I have a commercial guy that may be taking him. He is deciding between switching back to Angus bulls versus sticking to Limousin, which he uses currently.
He uses about 30 bulls at any given time. He was concerned about weaning weights not his flexibility. In fact he never mentioned it and he looked the bull over closely. He was said he was correct and the guy has been in been in cattle for a LONG time.
He's a really long bull, and as someone else mentioned on here, he has his momma, a big Joy Erica cow to thank for the length. If you look at the 46p bull in his pedigree, that bull is long! Here is a link to him
