[QUOTE="MoonDiskGelbvieh, post: 116590, member: 295"] Thank you both for your thoughts. She is a good cow. Like you said HC a little extra winter hair still but we didn't warm up consistently here until late June early July, I think our last frost was June 12. She has slicked down now though and is looking a little trimmer. Her biggest problem is everything that goes into her mouth goes right into that udder. But like Scott said she weans some heavy ones. Last years calf hit the ground at 73 lbs and weaned off around 750, this years calf was 84 on June 17 when she was born and on August 9 when I weighed her at the last show she was 212 so, I can't complain about the way this cow grows her calves. I agree with you completely about trying to find Gelbs with good hinds, I'm trying my darndest to breed that into mine but it takes a while. I would love to be able to use some fullblood semen but can't find any.Here is another pic of one that IMHO is has a nice body and is well rounded in the rump but is lacking considerably in the frame score department.
