Is it the same calf in every picture? My guess is chiangus.

This is a disclaimer question: Are all three heifers purebred?
Assuming that they are purebred -
#1 Simmental
#2 Gelbvieh
#3 Angus
#4 Hereford
If they are crossbred heifers, it would be almost impossible to guess what the composites would be. Whatever the breed is with #4, there is too much "unorganized" fat which was laid on too quickly. Lots of IMF (marbling) but way too much external fat. What was the feed that the #4 received to make that fat display?

Too much fat in those steaks and a fella would starve if that's all he got to eat.

Lowline, looks very much like one of our school's lowlines.

Well, duh, coming from a person with the handle of "lowline man" - Lets see, hummm, could they be lowline????
Steaks way too fat, I would hope they would be marbled with that much outside fat! :shock:
Cattle look real nice. You do a good job.

I find it interesting that we can't tell what breed they are when the hide is on, but we can once the hid is off. Aren't you being a little stereotypical?
PS, The steaks have a little extra exteranal fat, but they haven't been trimmed like all the beef in a retail establishment is. In fact there are lots of cattle harvested in todays beef industry that have .75 or more backfat on them. Thats why this industry imports all the lean trimmings in order to blend this extra fat off. In addition, the shape of the loin is not typical of Hereford. More like a Holstein, but probably too fat for that. Let me taste it, then I will tell you if it is a Hereford. Ha Ha

Could they be lowline? :?:
looks like some moderate black breed. maybe large Lowlines, maybe right-sized Angus, maybe any cross of the millions of black breeds.
one thing is for sure. i can tell you where you were, maybe if i knew the part of the yard you were in, i could guess more accurately.

These calves are all out of fullblood lowline bulls. Mothers are 1\2 angus and 1\2 maine.

I guess that means the steaks are lowlines or lowline crosses also, but since he got so much negative feedback he forgot to mention that. He'll probably come on here and claim they are something different.
Funny, some of you "smarties" were guessing chi cross. Hard to get much on the opposite end of the spectrum: Lowlines to Chi-crosses. Ha-ha-ha...
