Jake, I'm pretty new at this game and have lots to learn. I read just about every post and always find them interesting and helpful (usually ) Can you explain what you see that indicates she may be a hard keeper?

She might have had a really nice bag for her first calf - in which case, while you might cull her based on her udder, there's no reason not to keep her heifer calves.
If she's five years old, had three calves, and her udder is that size - I doubt it's going to be dragging on the ground or even close anytime soon.
