I am not a fan of the new scoring system. Makes me think to hard.

I'm not familiar enough with the new scoring system I guess, but I say who cares what the score is! They all look like great functional udders to me!

Yes I would agree they look functional just trying to keep up with records for the association.

How is Sarge doing, I know the redhead who worked on him.

Touche

Lad daughter

Same one

Out of a Fraser black bull we ran

KCF Bennet Total daughter with three generations of great udders on the cow side I am not impressed

 

[Northern Rancher]

Sorry about the highjack-those are a great set of Horned Hereford cows!!!

 

[Hereford76]

so did you take a picture of the whole lad daughter

 

[Northern Rancher]

There she is just after she calved-I'd say she's on the bigger end of them she's 3/4 HH 1/4 AN. See the weak heel on that baldie cow if that bull would of thrown as good of feet as he did udders I'd of put galons of semen up on him.

 

[bigbull338]

you couldnt ask for better udders or teats on your heifers.

 

[KNERSIE]

With hind legs like her's I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about how long her udder will last.

 

[BIZIN]

The LAD bull you speak of NR, would that be 20P? Didnt have good feet?

While we are scoring udders (wet udder contest?), how would you rate this 5 year old cow.

Well beings I was the only one dumb enough to score some other breeders udders, :roll: I might as well do yours too, the way you took the photo is a little different with her leg stretched back like that, it exposes a little more than you would normally see. I guess I'd give a 8 on the udder, and 8 on the teat, and just for reference, I would want to see all the teats like your cows right rear quarter to score a 9, I'd say 76's 1st calf heifer is the closest to a 9, and may be one when seen in person. The new system which gives higher scores to the tighter suspended udders, which used to mean she's not carrying enough milk in a lot of people's minds is really screwing up how they want to score them, that and you only score the worst quarter, and not the overall quality of the udder.

That baldie cow isn't out of Lad-she's out of an 011 son we ran. She can get bred south devon and raise feeder calves till she comes in open. Lad had real good feet.

Ok. 20P is the sire of one of the bulls I bought and 5P is the sire of the other. Dad isnt a fan of their feet and it just got me wondering, he thinks they dont sit right on them and there is too much curve between the hooves, sorry for the hijack. Is that 20P still around?

Here is a pic of 20P and his feet-they were never trimmed so I'll let you be the judge they look fine to me and haven't had a problem with any daughters at my place. The bull himself got hit by lightning when he was a four year old.Just follow the link to see the pics.

Thank you Sir. He looks good. I saw 5P when I was at Hill 70 this fall, he looked like a good bull.
