I'd like all your opinions on this two year old bull I bought this spring . I finally got the pictures figured out
Clarencen said:From what I can see, he looks OK to me. Pretty well balanced from front to back, I would like to see him standing in a little better position. In my opinion we are paying to much attention to cattle judging. I liked to pick a bull for what changes he would make in my herd, I will admit we often followed the most popular trends. The last 30 years with cross breeding and everything conformation has made little diifference.
If we follow what SH and MRJ are trying to tell us, the look of our cattle won't be very important. What will count is what the carcass looks like when it is hung.

The proof is in the puddin' :lol:
You don't eat what the animal looks like you eat what it produces. That said it has to produce that product efficiently under your management conditions.
