Tell me what you think, mainly the calf, we don't know if we should show him in the steer class for 4-h or not at the moment he is still a bull, I just like his build, Anyone looking for a Bull?

He is a nice looking bull calf, as far as showing him. He appears built enough to do well, can't say how well, but his rump is interesting, very stocky. You can always steer him with those adjustable rubber banders, some vets have them. I did this to a bull calf that was born 3/1/05, as the other type of bander would be too small.

Hello
Jeff, Thanks, I'm not sure how we would do either, there is a sale at the fair but everyone has calves born in January* ( Supposed to be born in January on, some are taken from December) Oh well not our problem. So we have a hard time competeing with the calves that have had 6 months on them. We still have 2 calves do this winter so maybe we will have one to show the next year '07 show Not the '06 year.
Heres a couple more pics of this calf.
