Here's one of our foundation females. Would be curious to hear what others' opinions are about her.
Thanks,
Julian

Maybe this female will be a little more to your liking.

That's good country.Julian":18ae1e24 said:jhambley":18ae1e24 said:Very nice. Do you have any photos over the top or from the back? Just curious how wide they are.
Our cattle are located about an hour and a half west, northwest of Wichita. Perhaps it is not to far for you to see them in person.
Let me know.

Jake - Considering that he requested opinionss on this FOUNDATION heifer - one SHOULD be picky, and I don't disagree with your assessment. In selecting Foundation seedstock, or females destined to be donorss the more "picky" a breeder is, the greater chance he will ultimately end up with a great herd of cows. Never hesitate to be picky when judging seedstock. If this heifer were headed to the feedyard for a Terminal ending, the slight criticism regarding trhe heartgirth would be negligible. Her overall weight-for-age might come under scrutiny when considering Average Daily Gain, but that is a whole "'nother story".Jake":39rezydq said:nice critter, the only thing I could fault her on is she looks a little tight behind the shoulders, but that's bein very picky.
She's real purdy, looks to have good length and leg structure.
