I like him. A lot better fronted than most Tiger cattle. Of course I am a sucker for Freighliner cows though...

To be picky, I would like to see more masculine features.

To me, the bull looks younger than 13 months.

What kind of performance numbers and epd's go with him?

Agree with LLBUX that he looks much younger than 13 months.  I'd like to see more masculinity by that age as well. Looks like a very good bull otherwise.

Thanks for the feedback. I selected the first bull because he is a little later maturing than most Tigers and a bit more grow. His figures are good we have a different system to you guys but he has a strong set. This bull a tiger out of a networth daughter (MVF Favorate 46T) I think would be more to your liking. Heaps of muscle and mud

Numbers and epds are only a good as the people who write them on the paper.... they sure don't make a bull a better bull and the same with a cow. I see all these "great numbered" angus cattle and think.... they sure are pretty ugly to look at and the calf normally follows. I like to look at my cows and be happy.... not try to make an excuse with "but they have great numbers". Nice bulls! We have some friends that live in Salters Springs.

I really like the second bull a lot! I am infusing tiger genetics in my herd very heavy and he looks just like my bulls.

Yup Aussie, the second bull looks like a keeper.  The other bull I am definitely not in love with.  That's the beauty of the cow business.  To each their own.

The heifer is coming along nicely.  She's got a ton of length, especially through her front third.  It could be how she's standing, but I'm not in love with how she comes out of her shoulder into her neck (as a show heifer) but she'll make a tremendously productive cow.  Tons of power and growth.

Congratulations. (clapping) Were some of those winners from your Canadian embryos? Saw some of your photos on FB and they sure looked good (thumbsup)
