Subject: RE: Bull pics


Driftless SW Wisconsin

That's the thing about trying to select a calf to remain a bull at 10 months of age...you look at the animal, you look at his pedigree and just take a chance that he will develop.  It would be nice if we could wait until nearer to 18 months...but I can't.  The retained bull calf will most likely change a lot between now and turnout this summer. Hopefully for the better.  But he has the pedigree and no major faults that I can see.

Here's a recent pic of 82, the other (a half brother to 29) candidate I was considering to retain as a bull.  Looks good but his pedigree is not as good and he is not registerable. He is a bit longer and also weighed over 950 lb at 10 months but he is out of a very large cow and would likely sire some cows that would be very large when mature.  82 would probably make some very good steers for Garvo but what I need right now is cow makers.

Thanks for the kind words on 72
