Just wanted to hear some good honest opinions on this bull we raised him and he did fairly well in the show ring but wanted to get the opinions of other breeders who may have a different view.

Very nice bull how is he bred. Nice thickness though out and well muscled back end without being to strong in the shoulder and short in the neck.  (thumbsup)

Thanks for the comments guys were pleased with the calves we've gotten so far good low birth weights and level top lines . As for his breeding this may come as a shock but he's a Gelbvieh bull and his breeding is Extra 2106K on the top and on the dam's side he goes back to a Boo Boo bull. I'd still love to hear some more opinions on him  ;D

I'd be proud to turn him out with my cows. He looks very good. Have any pictures of calves out of him?

i like your bulls profile.  some minor things i would like to change are a little more muscle shape and extension down his rib, a little higher coming out of his shoulder to his poll and a little deeper made and a tick wider based and a tick longer.  is he scurred?  nice and tightly sheathed for a continental.

Thanks for the comments guys were hoping to get his calves out on the show circuit next year and try and promote him we think he could help the gelbvieh breed improve in some ways . Were also thinking about maybe promoting him as a slick steer sire? since his calves wont really produce hair thanks to his Gelbvieh genetics haha. And in regards to his horn status he is Polled just has some major fuzzy face in this picture.. will post pictures of his first calf crop later :)

Needs to be a little cleaner fronted and a little bit deeper. Do have any pictures of him clean and clipped.

Not to be rude, but with all the questions u have asked about cattle, why would u be giving opinions on them. How can u tell how much muscle shape he has from the profile? This is a real question that has an answer.

This is kindof really delayed but wanted to post pictures of this bulls first calf crop we have. Theres only 2 bulls and a heifer that we have out of him since he is our clean up bull and we've had excellent conception rate with AI. The red bull was born on 9/29/10 and is out of the heifer thats in my profile picture, The black bull was born 11/3/10 were really excited about him he seems to think he's something special haha.... and the black heifer is a may she's a good kind of heifer... and of course all of these are purebred gelbvieh we really wanna try and promote him as a slick steer sire

Looking at the bull and calves looks like you should save some cash on AI this year and let him take care of a few more cows. Gelbviehs might not be the number 1 choice for showing but I would take a feedlot full of calves like those and I don't think I could go wrong.

To keep with the same thing, her buddy who asks just as many questions made some similar comments. I agree with you it is kind of funny.
