So tell me what you think.

[Doc]

This is a March 2011 bull. He's a Abertee's the Professor son out of a Red Rider 844 x Durango cow. bw 89, ww 756, yw 1281. epd's of BEPD 2.1, WEPD 19.1, YEPD 31.2, MEPD 1.8 . I'll have some calves out of him next spring.

I realy like him, great length, really level topped, good bone, with all four feet pointing the right way.  I take it this is after running with some cows?  Might like him a touch deeper, and just don't love the Red Rider color that came thru.  And if that is the worst I can come up with, he must be pretty solid!

Thanks. Yea , he came out of the cows last week. I agree there is a couple of things that I would change, but if he had been perfect I wouldn't have been able to afford him. I think he is going to be fairly easy calving with the way he is bred , but still have some performance and eye appeal to the calves.

That's a very good looking bull! I really like his length and smoothness. His actual weights are very nice, reasonable birth weight but he still has some good performance (thumbsup)

 

[OLD WORLD SHORTIE]

Excellent show breeding, plus the 844 makes him home run for calving ease. Nice bull  (clapping)

 

[knabe]

like his lines.  add more beef, upper rib dimension, he's still got a little fat on his pone, so i would like a little more muscle and make him polled.  nice smooth shoulder and lines through his withers, which is where i always look first.

 

[Doc]

and make him polled. 

He is polled. Scurs are showing. Not attached. Old timers say you will get more polled calves from a scurred bull than a smooth head !! ??????

what do new timers say?

do stats bear this out?

at least he can make non-scurred if he's hetero scurried, unlike a female who is homozygous probably if it's a single gene.

I like him doc...Looks like a good one for sure

 

[JTM]

Nice bull Doc! Looks very structurally correct and reminds me a little of star bucks at that age. Do you think he will stay somewhat moderate or get big?

 

[justintime]

Doc, I like your bull as well. He has a nice combination of moderate BW with some good growth and he has good length and soundness. Really like the shape of his shoulder. I expect he will be a good calving sire.

Straight topped, clean sheath, big nutted bull. I'd like to shorten his muzzle a touch and add a little more depth behind his ribs. Overall a very good bull. But wait doc! He is all red lol! Are you turning over to the all red shorthorn mafia!? Haha. Just kidding. I couldn't resist. Bulls pedigree is pretty proven. I suspect you know what type he works on. Interesting to see calves in the future. Thanks for sharing.
