[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 790700, member: 7509"] Thanks for the thought. I want to clarify though that I am very happy with the Huth heifer #55 in my original post. I agree that working with her I can probably get her progeny even better. The picture just doesn't do her justice. In real life she reflects her breeding. I think she will look like my home-growns and probably better after awhile. Maybe a similar situation to the Tundra heifer I bought last winter. That one was obviously on a show diet of some sort. Lost it on grass then eventually came back nicely with rotational grazing. I think she just had to learn lunch doesn't come in a bucket anymore. Here's a picture of the Tundra heifer from earlier this fall after she started getting with the system. She is the one in front. [img]http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab336/SRBeef/2010_09_25_rotation_wts_etc/IMG_1878_yrlgheifer91_springheifer3910_bullU70_092510.jpg?t=1289277307[/img] The one I am concerned about is the second one I bought recently, the "dryland " heifer which I have not shown a picture of. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and maybe she will come around but she has a long way to go, much different than the Tundra heifer. But maybe she will reflect her breeding in time. I appreciate the comments and feedback on the original heifer pictured above. She looks better in person. I picked her out and am fairly certain she will come around to be better than my commercial heifers. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
