[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 959356, member: 7509"] Mr Hambly that looks like my kind of bull! Sure would like to know his frame score. As far as the eyes, from Knersie's earlier posts, he often stresses eyeset that is more recessed when viewed from the front so the eyes are not poking directly into his very difficult grazing conditions. I think it comes back to a point my vet made to me during a herd working visit - "There is no such thing as a perfect bull". He was too polite to add "especially in [my] price range"!. My vet stressed deciding which were the most important traits to me, in my system, climate, location, market, etc. Prioritize them most important to least important. Then look for a bull that meets the highest priority wants/needs. There will probably not be a bull that meets all wants. Then you realize that the bull is half of the calf and use the cow to correct the lower priority wants not met by the bull... but you have most of what you need. I have seen this concept work well in my small operation. I like the bull pictured - reminds me of my Huth U070 in many ways. Thanks for the pictures. Jim [/QUOTE]
