Need info on these bulls

[Diamond G]

Im looking for a nice show calf for my daughter. There is a sale coming up but I know nothing of the sires of these calves. Here they are. Please let me know which sire is best for market steer and heifer

Walks Alone
Presidential
My Turn
Paddy O'malley
Black Gold
Thriller

Walks Alone or Thriller most likely- though I haven't seem many fat WA that I like. Paddy breeds more maternal. Haven't seen much from Presidential, My Turn, or Black Gold.  We need to see some pictures to really evaluate.. Any one of these bulls can throw a stud or a sale barn calf.

I have raised some decent my turns in the past but dispositions were not the best. Same cows bred to other bulls the dispositions were fine. I do have a couple my turn heifers I kept and they are making decent cows but are def. the first ones to run the other direction from you in the pasture. Not mean but just seem they don't want to be close and flighty.

Best thing to do is walk through them and look at them,  there will be a few that catch your eye over and over, these are the ones to break down from bottom to top first, grade them on a scale:Attitude 1-5, structure 1-5, depth, width, topline 1-5, ease of movement 1-5, over all look, and wow factor 1-5 (Clean fronted, smooth shouldered, big furry ears, cocky look) Tally up their score. After all that look at what bull their out of, some times you top 2 or 3 will end up out of the same bull, some times your top 5 will be out of 5 different bulls.

but in the end dad buys her the one she wants because it is cute or is pretty colored, .

I can't tell you how many times I've seen a better calf pasted up that cost the same or less because they want a red one, a baldy or something out of a particular bull.

We always sorted through the calves and sorted them before we looked at breeding ( in steers) I think it helped keep us honest in our appraisal of the animal.
