[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1404414, member: 19707"] Tough call from the pics. 45 definitely is the fanciest - love her long neck, smoothness and femininity. She looks to have enough muscle and bone, and seems to have good rib shape. Compared to the baldie though, she gets a little shallower bodied, and that means a lot in a heifer show. She too looks to have enough bone, but appears a little flatter made than 45. I do like that the baldie looks to have a bit more set to her legs, but without seeing them move that doesn't mean everything. I think the 55 heifer is too far behind the other 2 in terms of depth of body and just sheer volume and mass. If I could I'd try both 45 and 18 for awhile. Get them broke, see which one is easiest to work with and which one changes for the better with feed. Attitude alone might end up sorting them for you, 'cause that's as important as anything in a first show calf. From your pics I'm guessing they're both already pretty gentle, but one might still end up being easier to handle than the other. [/QUOTE]
