April 23,2009 Bull/Steer calf Opinions please

[The Driver]

Here are some pics taken today of our SULL GNCC Final Solution X BHF Stardust calf. He was 133lbs unassisted at birth and will be steered. Planning on showing him bred and owned but right money could send him down the road. Give your opinions please be honest this year was our first real calf crop and we only had 5 calves and are very proud of them but know we still have so much to learn. Should put 12 calves on the ground next year.

Yeah, please do the industry a favor and cut him. Other than that, he looks ok. He will need feed, but will probably make a good county steer.

as stated in the original post he will be steered

I like him. He has a cool show calf look to him

perhaps hold back on the goodies on your cows.

i did and bw went from 120's to 80's to 90's

Agreed Knabe but he was out of a 10 year old cow large framed that goes back to waukaru prima donna. Shes an easy keeper and was primarily on pasture although he was 2 weeks late

He looks good! I would like to see a bit more guts to him, but that should come with time. Good luck!

2 weeks late

look into that on your next mating.  it seems like weights can really creep up the last couple of weeks.

 

[OH Breeder]

We have a Final Solution and she was 105 at birth on a cow that typically throws them in the 80's. She is long necked like your steer calf. He looks like he might be off a bit in the hips but has nice length of body.  WOuld like to see more mass in him. Good haired and flashy color pattern. Might make a county fair calf.
