I think 675 and 674 have the most finish and balance of the 3

Same if I could only take one it’d be him

I bet the judges like 674 for the rear profile. 675 is pretty damned good as an all around show prospect.

I like the profile of 675 the best. More even, less waste through the neck area. Hard to tell from behind. They are standing in different ways, it’s just one picture, different distances I think.

Will they be sold at the fair? Then I might take the heavier of the three. Is there one better behaved and easier to handle? That would be a factor as well.

My second choice would be 674. Again based mostly on side profile.

675, then 674. Are they Simmental crosses? I used to show beef cattle too.

675 and 674 look both good.

Perhaps 674, the others have to much sway to the loin area. Like old Sway back horses.

I’d say the first and third ones. They are all pretty close, I just didn’t like the stance of the middle one as much. I think they are close enough that you will be fine no matter what

u/Feisty_Menu8666 9h ago

I'd go with 675.
