Kind of snow bound and bored. Did this last year and had some fun with it so thought I would do it again. We have two steers for my son this year. The first two are of a Paddy O Malley/Heatseeker steer we raised (Leroy) and the next two are of a Golden Child calf we bought down in Indiana (Rufus). Please give your opinions and pick which one you like best in the poll. Pics were taken about 6 weeks ago. Last weekend Leroy weighed 700#s and Rufus weighed 585#s. Both placed in the middle of their class at the winter beef classic at MSU last weekend.

I like Leroy more than Rufus. Not sure if it's just the angle or the way he's standing, but Rufus looks like he could use quite a bit more strength over his top line.

If you just showed them you forgot to clip them.  You need to get someone expereienced to clip them and help you with how to work their hair and they will look totally different.  I like Leroy the best.

I'm pretty sure they took these pics a little while back, not in the last couple days.

Leroy takes this class pretty easily by the pictures. The calf in second is very nice but the calf in first brought 2 Tickets to The Gun Show!  (clapping)  Nice calves.
