Bought this 16 month old pure bred Gelbvieh heifer. This breeder buys a lot of Judd Ranch stock. Wanted to see what others thought, I see some faults but for the price I think she is worth a chance. Not the greatest cell phone pics.

Nice Tom. Is it dry there? That road looks dry. It is getting dry over here too.
For this time of the year it is kinda dry, got some rain during the night.

If she's open probably cost about $1000.
She's worth 1.40 if she's in the 800lb range. So about 1100$ to a buyer at a sale, and to me that's the real value if open heifers.
 
Tom, I paid $2000 for a papered pb JF flying B cut above open heifer. She was sporting a nice blaze so I could not control myself. But I sat out the Paris Elite Heifer sale last year and saw commercial bred heifers 20 mo old going for $2400 that were no better than yours. You did say this was a PB Gelbvieh. I assume she can be papered. I would not be disappointed with her at $1600
