I saw this shorthorn bull and really liked him. The video looks much better than the pic. What's everyone else think? Video at Paulsen's website: www.paulsencattle.com and go to the upcoming sales.

Keep in mind It is just an opinion on a photo. Reallly not impressed with his front 1/3rd and question how much true muscle he has

SHOULDER...look at the video and it's really bold. I think he's a nice calf, just wish he was smoother there.

never watched the video...
but doesn't a little extra front end come with those seeking tremendous power throughout? Isn't it a catch 22... never seen one rocket fronted, with a whale ass.
structure? Is that even cared about in show steers?

This is a Fringe heifer that we had last fall with Double Stuff on the bottom side instead of Sonny. Her shoulder was/is a concern of mine as well. Really thick everywhere else though.
I think Cut the BS is right though, its fairly difficult to get the muscle expression throughout and have a freaky smooth front end.

This isn't the first Fringe that's a powerhouse-- with some shoulder-- that's been posted on here before. or the 2nd or 3rd...

Along with the shoulder are some pretty extreme BW genetics -I also see it in alot of the shorthorn show cattle lately O0

Yea, I mean I've always heard " wide in the rear, wide in the front". I know that's not always the case , but probably a good rule of thumb. As far as Fringe goes, I really like some of the calves I've seen by him. I bought a cane of semen this fall to use on some cows this spring.

I just wanted to update some info. Joel Brooks contacted me tonight and informed me that this is acctually a Fringe ET bull calf out of Fringe's dam (Sonny x Double Leader), which is a Full sib to Get Serious and Absolutly. They are selling 1/2 Semen interest and Full Possession on him.

I saw on JBS website-- they had those embroyos-- I thought that was interesting... and would take a real cowman to make that mating...
BTW- how's the best method to get ahold of JBS-= DHS? Email doesn't work...

Joel's email is probably working, and your email is probably in the right placek, but he doesn't get on the computer much. I visited with him awhile back and he was telling me about sending some pictures, but was going to mail them, doesn't like the email thing. I can PM you the number I have for him if you like, think it is on his website too.

I won't forget Jim Williams was judging a steer deal for us and ended up using a steer with a bit of front end. While he was talking the class he says "Now you might not like the front end of this calf but you've gotta remember it takes a big engine to pull a big caboose" thought it was pretty funny.
