[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 1319816, member: 1683"] In order to adequately assess the Maternal value of this heifer from pictures, we should see front, top and rear views of her. She is a fine heifer for a beginning herd to improve with retained daughters from her if you mate her to a bull which will compliment and improve her capacity - that is, deepen her daughters' heart girth. She is restricted (pinched) around her body just behind her front legs. If her retained daughters could be improved that way (and, of course, balance her CE, WW and not excessive milk EPD's) you would have a fine start of Maternal producers. I wouldn't knit-pick her at all. She is a pretty well-made heifer. Just be careful in selecting the bull(s) to whom you mate her. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
