We had BSE’s done today on the bulls we will have in our sale on January 4th. Since we were getting them done we also had our older bulls tested so they will be ready to go to work after we get our AI work done. This is a bull that turned 3 in October Gizmo D Boss D45 we like the calves we have out of him and plan to use him again this year. Hw weighed 1800 pounds and has a scrotal of 42. Another 3 year old 1701 he weighed in at 1920 and had a scrotal of 43.5. We own this bull with a partner so this will be our first time using him, needless to say I like them both or we wouldn’t be planning to use them. just throwing them out for discussion good or bad like I said I like them but others might not and that is fine by me. If we all like the same type there wouldn’t be much need for discussion boards. gizmom

Both look good to me. What frame size are they.

Good looking bulls, it would be hard to decide which is best.

If I tried to give you a frame score on either bull it would just be a guess. We measured them for years and realized that how a calf is standing in the chute can cause such a variation in score that we just quit, the boss just doesn't have the patience anymore for that. I can tell you the 1701 is a bigger frame bull than the D45 bull. The D45 bull is a tic short for my taste but he is a very complete bull thick deep with great feet and legs. The 1701 bull is taller, and a tic longer so more my ideal as far as size but rear leg angle is a bit more angle than I like. If I could combine the two bulls I could make one that I feel is the ideal bull but for some reason I still have not figured out how to accomplish that.

Don't know anything about angus pedigrees. But it would be a easy pick for me. 1701 is just more my type.
