This calf weighs approximately 750 pounds. (weighed 695 on 6-20-11) Frame size for momma and sire is 6.8 Breeding is Sitz Alliance 6595 sire, breeding on the cow is Alderda Traveler 416 and GDAR Traveler 044.

good luck
 
I like his breeding.I like his color. :wink:
6.8 frame would be larger than what we would want,
but that might change as he gets older.


Outside of his back looking like it has a hump in it, :P I think he
cuts up too much in his flank. But it's so hard to tell from a picture.
He's standing pretty stretched out, too.
All-in-all he's probably a pretty nice calf.

Was there supposed to be something wrong with him? :wink:
 
Growth is good and I like his bloodlines also Hay Maker but he looks like he was put together with a slingshot in those photos.

He likely looks better in real life, I can't take a good picture of bulls either.

Just my opinionated opinion. :wink:

Done deal... Remember you are one day closer to a rain..... A drought ain't for pantywaists...
 
You can nit pick anything but while my eyesite isn't what it was a few decades ago I don't see anything I can't fix by running him here for a while!

You know I need a little hands on to evalulate him right.
 
I was at at a seminar about 6 or 7 yrs ago, the main topic of discussion was drought and drought planning. An expert was giving a talk and had everyone's attention. He concluded with these words of wisdom "At the end of every drought is a rain storm." Lots of people didn't find humor in that statement because they wanted a solution. If only you knew when it would rain planning would be much simpler and less stressful.
