3 heifer calves

[nathan arizona]

Of the 5 calves I have, 3 are heifers. I'd like to build up to 20-25 cows (have 7 now). Opinions on keeping these 3?

Last choice - don't know about her - sorry that the pic is washed out on this one.

Based off those pictures, your favorite would be my pick of the bunch,then the black white face. How old are they?

White face is about 4 months old. Red about 6. Black 5. Bought the black and red as cow/calf pairs keeping alive my habit of buying at the top of the market.

If their mommas milk well, have good to decent utters, good feet. I would give them a try. B&G

Right now if you have the grass I'd keep them. Your going to take a beating on them. I've watched 2 sales this week and any feeder calf that's not just perfect is getting docked hard. Sell your steers when thier ready. Heifers can be sold later as replacements, breds, and first calf pairs, or kept.
