Don't forget...these are heifers. Whatever you decide, make sure it's easy calving.

I don't like either of them! Just let me know when I can come take them off of your hands so you don't have to keep looking at those sad sacks :D Seriously though, they are very nice!

Had quite a few shorthorn cross show calves like this.

You caught that huh? I like your attention to detail, but just imagine how weird I looked sitting in the library at the college drawing a penis on this heifer..... :compute: I was just trying to get it done fast before anyone saw me and thought I was a perv. :banana:

Here is the photoshop twin bull to Simme Valley Uh Oh. I call him " Approaching Perfection". If someone could make his picture bigger you can see him better.

Which Simmental bulls do you think produce the best females and why? I know this question is very vague, but I would like everyone's opinions. Thanks

First of all, I'm not disagreeing with the fact that this cow is in poor condition and that most of the energy went into the calf! That is obvious! I'm simply seeking out more knowledge and trying to learn all that I can, therefore, I inquire when I see, hear, or read something that is...

A friend of mine back in high school had just bought a weaned heifer and weaned bull calf to show in FFA. Bull calf was 6 months old and heifer was 7 months old. She calved at 16 months old. :shock:

What is her breeding? Thanks

Would you mind telling me where you got this information? Granted, higher uptake of calories generally leads to increased fat storage, I'm not sure that calorie intake and weight are exactly a direct proportionality, but rather lends itself to variable change as many animals have different...

Cowgirl, the owner of this animal requested an evaluation based upon the pictures that were given, (You are correct on that point), but they have not requested people to make "inferences". From the pictures provided, an accurate assessment of the animal as being "open shouldered" cannot be...

Kudos Knersie, :clap: Very big difference in "open-shouldered" and "coarse shouldered".

Every "Ali" calf I have fed out was very difficult to get a good finish on. They had good hair, can sometimes cover up the lack of fat cover, but I have found that you have to get your hands on them to really see what kind of finish they have. "Ice Chest" has usually worked pretty well for...

Good buy! Little older than I would like to buy a cow, but for 550 I would take as many as I could find.

He should definantly been cut young. He looks like a steer, but if he has produced good calves for you in the past, you should keep him. Why fix something that isn't broke. You might have a problem selling him in the future as he does look too feminine to be a bull.

Crossbred mongrels!! :nod:

Needs to be more level from hooks to pins, and deeper bodied.

I also like the heifer. My favorite thing about her is that she looks like she is about to calve. :D If I could critique her, and this is splitting hairs, I would like to see more youthfulness and femininity :pretty: up through her front end, and level her topline, she looks a little higher...

In your own opinion,what are the best maternal lines in your favorite breeds?? What genetics have worked well for you in producing replacements and developing a strong cow herd? I think it will be interesting to see your thoughts and opininons! JR Cattle Co.

Good luck with your heifer, I hope she does well for you! JR Cattle Co.
