Heifers 4 Pics

[Tod Dague]

Looking for honest input. If you could wave a magic wand to make them better what would you change?

1st heifer

2nd heifer

If I had a magic wand....................I would change them from your place to mine. ;-)

I have to agree here!! Honestly, though, the #1 and #3 heifer are a little fine boned, and the #4 could use a little more length from that pic, but really they are quite nice looking heifers, and I wouldn't mind having them in my herd

They look good Tod. Nice heifers. Good seedstock.

I think there are only 2 heifers there with 2 pics of each one.... I do like #1 the best, but they are both nice!

I would like to see a little bit deeper body on the #4 heifer, but other than that I like them. I think that they have pretty decent bone for a red angus though, if thats what they are. Thanks Kaneranch

I'd have to agree with Mike C.

I like the 2nd one best

 

[Tod Dague]

Thanks for all of the comments. I'm still pretty new and am trying to develop my cow eye.

I agree, I like the top 2 pics the best.

top two are best, second do just don't have "the look" I'd say the could all use some depth and capacity along with some muscling but they look good and should turn into good mommas

I don't know Tod are these two different aged animals the 2nd one looks younger than the 1st I think the first has good capacity but needs somemore thickness in the hind end I think the 2nd one is thicker butted with enought capacity to make me like her better

They were born within two days of each other.

More hindquarter. :cboy:

Tod- Heifer No. 1 and Heifer No. 2 - Same Heifer!

Heifer No. 3 and Heifer No. 4 - Same heifer.

Both Heifers are fine girls, but they both need a fuller heart girth and heavier hindquarters, however I feel that will be improved by a little more age on them. They should make fine mama's.

They are Red Angus aren't they? I like no. 1 better than no. 2 because she is a beefier type, and No. 2 is more sickle-hocked. That shows up more on the right hind leg in both lower pictures. Don't skimp on the Minerals with either of them! Put a carefully selelcted bull with them and you should have some great replacment heifers to go along with thier dams. Fine herd additions.

Then I think I like the first heifer if they are the same age they have everything but they do need more hindquarter, especially the first one But definate keepers good job

Tod - both really nice heifers. Body shape - I like the first heifer best, but she is too straight in the hind leg & front shoulder for me to keep as a breeder. Second heifer is a little sickle hocked.
Would like to see more butt on both, but adequate. Nice replacements. You're doing a good job.
