[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 155723, member: 873"] Fantastic point - one not everyone is aware of - I have yet to see any of the animals, I have just heard about some heifers that may be for sale. For my program I don't want any more frame, in fact I'd like to shrink some of my cow's height just a tad - but mainly add a little muscling (mainly butt) and maybe a little more chest width to the calves. We are very happy with our herd - mostly black Angus, a few red Angus, Angus x Herefords and a couple heinz57s all bred to reg. black Angus bulls. I'd like to try a few shorthorn or shorthorn cross cows but there aren't many that either I can afford or would WANT to buy in our area. These Gelb/Angus heifers are supposed to be out of "smaller" Angus cows and a Gelbvieh bull - I would have to see the calves and their dams and sire to make a good frame estimate. Here are some shots of my calves from this year - I welcome all comments - positive and negative. This is one of our first calf heifers and her steer taken early this fall the calf was probably 5 1/2 to 6 months old. [img]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/Koppqh/233CalfFall2005.jpg[/img] This the same first calf heifer and her steer from a different angle. He sure looks a lot smaller in this one than the first! [img]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/Koppqh/233CalfFrontviewFall2005.jpg[/img] This cow will be 10 next year...calf almost 6 months old.
