[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 420945, member: 1683"] Manafter- With the exception of his pasterns - (which Knersie focused on very correctly!), this is a bull which is exceptional! . . . .and, "Boss Cowman", you might concern yourself for what the poster of the thread is requesting! He asked for our opinions of the bull's "phenotype" from this picture. He didn't ask for what we thought the bull would look like 400 lbs. lighter than he is now, or if we thought that he would look like this after being in the breeding pasture for 60 days. Sometimes when we ASS-u-me too much, we "end up looking foolish" - as the "Geico" gecko says in the commercial. Even before knowing his breeding activity this year, I felt that this bull was extremely capable of improving the phenotype of most herds. My suggestion is to watch his pasterns closely, perhaps forced walking as a daily activity during the "off" season, if you get my meaning. You might not have to go too far from where this bull lives to acquire some females which will improve your genetics, and establish your gene pool in the desirable brackets with which you wish to focus your breeding program. This bull is a great template to use as a pattern! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
