Here you go. A recent picture of Wolf WIllow Major LEague and his dam is Prairie Lane SParkle.

Stick, I say go ahead & try him on a few. He has a good enough pedigree behind him & he looks pretty good.

Scanned the photos in for them. That is the most current picture of the bull. I would say he is pretty good condition.

Major Leroy is shown here in his natural condition as he is not fat. If you put your hands on him , he is hard. He was at Alta genetics in Alberta from July to April and they said he was the only bull in the stud that they did not feed grain too as he would get too much condition . He has only seen grass hay since he returned home and he was on pasture breeding cows for about 1 month when this picture was taken. He consistently produced 1000+ straws of high quality semen per week in stud. He produced as high as 760 straws from one jump, last summer.

Here's where all you show steer people need to pay attention. Look at Leroy. He is more heavier up front than in the rear. That's natural masculinity. I question the value of breeding bulls that are more heavier in the hindquarters than their front. Remember--Steers are castrated bulls, not spayed heifers. Ladies should be wider at the hips than the shoulders, but males need to be vice versa.Don't believe me, then ask Kit Pharo, and, he'll tell you the same.

HE REALLY DOES LOOK EXCELLENT

man, that is one good looking cow.  great length of hip, proportional overall front to back, lots of depth and spring down low behind her elbow and yet her front feet are still square under her and her shoulder lays in well and smooth up top and at the point.

i would love to see some measurements on that cow and how they stack up to some others that looked obviously long of body because of less depth than this cow.

great pic too.  excellent lighting and display underneath.
