A tie between enhance and fate for me. But all could join my herd.

In spite of being black I could make room for all of them.

I would agree that the Enhance heifer is the top and I would rank the Niagara heifers as 2nd and 3rd

When will they calve js? And who are they bred to? If I had to pick one then maybe the Fate heifer.

Extremely nice set from top to bottom. Great job. They look in great shape for breeding too. Hope our winter pasture starts to grow they always look better on some green pasture.

That Enhance heifer is #1 in my book
Close 2nd is Fate
Close 3rd is Growth Fund

I don't like that high tail set or short hip on some of the others but sometimes teenagers look goofy at that age and will mature out better.

Js, I'll try and get some photos of mine. Mine will start calving on the 1st July, I have an Enhance heifer that was well out in front of the others weight wise as well but unfortunately did not go in calf to 2 rounds of AI and several with the bull so she is off to town shortly to fulfill her 2nd destiny though the way female prices are here she will bring very good money for someone to give her another go.

I like to hear the Sydgen bulls you are breeding to so I can keep an eye out for them here.

jacob,
the cows have got the rye grass pasture eaten down pretty good right now.. heifers are gonna have to stay where they are at for the next month.

ken,
honestly i just fell in love with the enhance heifer at the sydgen sale. she was an et calf without a great recip but she sure caught up in the summer and fall before the sale. i think she is pretty unique with her ample rib depth and shape. enhance is far from my favorite sydgen bull, but she is built different than most emhamces i raised. currently using sydgen gavel, sydgen stealth, and sydgen black diamond ai this past january

mg,
the growth fund was/is my favorite of the home raised heifers the fate is in a group with the two niagaras behind her. the fate was bumping $300 $c last month, i think she is 296 or 297 right now. i would have been happier if she would have took ai..
