Turned out bulls Aug 7, snapped a few shots last week.
All slowly forage developed home raised bulls.

Thanks Whitewing, last winter these bulls got wheat green feed, some green, some ripe, so they did find some wheat in it, so they were not strictly 100% forage developed. Beggars couldn't be choosers last year.

Gotta get my butt out the door for now.

I have never seen a picture of bulls in your country taken in September where the feet were hidden from view...that is certainly the best way.
61P certainly leaves a stamp on his sons.
Usually you can inspect the feet on a swimming duck by now...

I sure like 'em...do they 'travel' pretty well ?

They have never been on a plane but if they are anything like me they prefer being on the ground :wink: :D

They have to travel here or they don't stay.

Thanks.

Its crazy, I have to look for a spot to see there feet. The bottom 2 year old was out on the road the other day and stood still long enough for me to get a decent shot of at least one of his feet.

61P progeny aren't all keepers but he has left me more keepers than any other bull I have used on my purebreds male and female. :)

nice set of bulls, Dylan. but IF i had to choose, i'd certainly take the bull in the last pic off your hands. :D

Thanks Justin. Yeah time will tell, he isn't perfect but he certainly does a lot of things right for a purebred Angus :wink: :)

Kind of fits the old "buffalo" look that we've argued about on the other sites about supposed to being a sign of maternal qualitites.....

Yeah I agree with your Buffalo look appraisal, his Dam below pictured this spring is a really deep bodied good footed and good uddered cow so I was sort of hoping he might pass on that maternal type.

Denny thanks for the kind words, the old cow who is 12 this year is actually sired by the old Red Angus bull Leachman EBV 6703. That bull left me a number of good cows over the years, the only weakness in some of them is their front feet, but if you protect for that they have proven to be very useable cows.

This is a photo of the bull from this spring he is on the right.
