Red Angus Bull Pictures

I posted this on Cattle Today as well, but I thought I would put it on here too.

These bulls will all be in our bull sale on November 20th. The first 3 are all ET brothers out of the donor cow pictured X DKK Addiction N10. The last 2 pictures are the same bull, and is out of SRN Heavens Door 2095 X LMG ROXIE 1080, who is a daughter to another donor cow of ours. Have a look and tell me what you think.

I remember those top three bulls BRG. They are nice bulls. I missed the bottom bull I guess. I know he was in the pen but I missed seeing him. They look good. Good luck.

The cow and the first three bulls look really good, but the last bull looks to lack capacity and doing ability. I would like to know more about the top three bulls.

The first 3 sell as lots 20, 21, & 22 While the last bull is lot 45. The last bull when standing straight ahead, this was taken about 8:00 AM so he had not eaten or drank yet that day. He really isn't really shallow made, but not as deep as the first 3. The first 3 registration #'s are:
1091600
1091594
1091598

and the last one is:
1068513

When you look them up, you will see that they do not have impressive weaning weights on the first 3. This is because they are fall calves and only lived on mom over the winter with nothing extra. I figure they would be at least 100 lbs more if they were spring calves in the sun on dry dirt easting green grass, instead of fall calves doing just the opposite.

We calve the natural born calves in May and June, and wean Nov. 1. We then rough them through almost like a replacement heifer, so we will not get impressive yearling weights on them as you can see by his performance. But these bulls will hold up and their feet will stay strong for their new owners These bulls do weigh good now and have alot of performance bred into them. I am guessing the Fall calves weigh around 1200lbs and the may/June bulls weigh from 1300 to 1500lbs.

Do you have ultrasound data on those bulls? How about carcass data on the steer mates to your bulls?

Our carcass results on the bulls averaged 1.15 square inches of REA per hundred pounds of body weight. The IMF was a little low, but CUP tells me that since they are never pushed, they will be lower. I think my average IMF is around 2.5%

We have been buying alot of our customers calves and feeding them out. Here are the results I have from one feedlot.

Here she is on another day. I don't like the photo as well, she is kind of crunched up in her position, but this is all I have.

BRG- Is that Bull #3 tail-less or is that just the camera angle?...Just looks like he's lacking :wink: :lol: Best cow I have on the place has only about a foot long part of a tail...

Sure do like the cow. When that picture was taken was she sucking a calf?
If so, about how old was the calf?

I really like those sort of "leaned back" udders with those small teats.
Seems to make easier access for the newborns.

You've gotten pretty good with your picture taking. Takes lot's of patience..............more than I have sometimes.

Mike,
The photo of the cow was taken a few days after the other cow photo, and that is her calf. So that gives you an idea of how old the calf was. He happened to suck not long before I took the photo, so her udder is a little better yet.
