Fully loaded -Red Angus bull

Whats the story on this bull. Any problems?

He looks about perfect to me

Depending on what you are doing his birthweight is way too high to sell bulls. Other than that he has sired a lot of high performance, heavy muscled cattle, and he has quite a few sons that sell a lot of semen. And grandsons for that matter.

Saw a few up in Canada and really like the muscle shape and power they had.  The breeder did say the BW's were pretty high though.

Only problem is birth weight and shape at birth.
I know of a few shorthorn folks that ran into issues with birth weight because of both sides of the pedigree (shorthorn are not known for calving ease.... don't shoot the messenger)

He is very useful if you are breeding an extreme calving ease red angus females.  Just watch the shape.

Full Throttle (Red Angus) has similar issues, but again, definitely throws eye appealing calves.

Can you say terminal?

 

[RyanChandler]

Wonder what he's crossed with end up w/ those epds? He sure doesn't have a terminal phenotype.

Any one end up with scurs or horns out of him?
