[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 565324, member: 852"] Jeanne -- I don't think the cow's a BC 1-2. Maybe a 3.5, but she's not [i]that [/i]emaciated. The calf is definitely beef-bred, but the cow isn't. Can't expect her to look like a heavy muscled beef animal. Granted, she is lacking cover over the spine directly behind her shoulders (evidence of being very underweight), and her underline is almost straight, characteristic of a mature animal that's underweight and underfed. She doesn't look real tall; put 150-200lbs on her and she'll look very good for a beef/dairy mix. JMO. And contrary to the opinion of a certain TN poster... I don't see anything wrong with the bull calf. He'll make some awfully good eating and he has plenty of cover and muscle. It's not like we're talking about an underweight animal or one with a dairy build. I do think the pasture doesn't have adequate grass. There's plenty of weeds out there, but the good grass is grazed real short. [/QUOTE]
