[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1838321, member: 637"] [USER=9096]@Nesikep[/USER] to be honest, the only thing that really throws that cow off is her horns because we are not used to seeing those, I find myself looking for her ears, but if you get to the cow, that is a 14 year old cow that looks pretty dang good to me. She has a good shoulder, deep heart girth, deep barrel. A really long hip. Bad legs? She is not lined up sideways with the camera, but she has a good angle to her back legs that we are missing now. I like the cow and with her being 14 years old I really like her. You had a good cow in the beginning and kept breeding her to a good bull. You can only go up from there. Still they are all good sound cows and it is fun to go back and see what you created. You took the cows, bred them up and that is what genetics are al about. Great Grand Ma cow has a hip that is hard to get now. I see the hips getting shorter. Take her hip, vs a short hip cow and run them across the scale and then figure out where that 300 lb difference went. And she will give that to her calves. The Grandmother cow has that nice barrel that carries the capacity to hold a huge calf and all the food she want to eat, and she will go lay down and chew her cud the rest of the day. Still, Great cow family and they can change your herd from this day forward. Heaver steer weights. Such beautiful country. [/QUOTE]
