Worst calf I have ever seen....  naw just joking!!

A really nice calf. Seems smooth, very clean front, correct in his feet and legs. I like how the shoulder ties into the body.
Maybe a bit tall for a "clubbie", and  not freaky enough boned, but that is a bit picky.  If shown as a crossbred, maybe a bit light muscled, but hard to tell from the view.

I really like the calf. Definately looks like a calf that will feed well.

Nice project!!

he's stretched out too far, and head to high...bring his back legs in and lower his head then take another pic...

I too would like to see a pic with the steer setup different.  I think he's better than the picture posted shows.

Yeah, the picture makes him look a little more cut up in the flank than he probably actually is.

He looks very balanced . Nice muscle pattern - I too like  his shoulder/neck junction

Need better picture, Looks kind of straight legged, high flanked, and I dont know how it is possible to obtain an accurate opinion of how the front end actually ties in with this picture, but it is a clean front end. Ahh just take more pictures!

He is very good.  You could drop the flank if you want to be critical.  But, a nice complete steer and his depth will get better with some time.

His flank doesn't bother me, he is deep bodied and soggy, so with time it will get  deeper, his front end is not the cleanest, but an indicator of a good feeding steer who will grow into his front end as a fat  steer, looks to have plentyof muscle and i love the cushion in his pasterns.

Now my critique, for a steer this wide and deep he is a bit long bodied for my liking, he will be a tough one to fatten before he gets to be 1450, and foor me he studies a bit rounder in his shoulder and hip, but overall a nice show project

He is much better than the org. pic showed.  He looks like he will finish out great.  Have fun with him.
