Influence SIMMY. (6 months)

[Snider_Angus]

about 2 months back i wrote a post on here saying i was halter breaking a new calf in the morning. Well this is the one. She jumped the fence and ended up in the road, ran 1/2 mile and cut into a swamp. Spent 3 hours gettin her out of there and back home. Next day halterbroke without a problem. She has showed 3 times ad at 2 big shows. Oklahoma city won her class and Tulsa won her class. She is a April 3. out of one of the best simmy blood lines in the state. I had her head to high here cause she wouldn't stand still(making her look thicker necked but) She is about the cleanest fronted heifer i have seen in a while around here. The judge at Oklahoma City asked me what I enjoyed about showing these young heifers. MY RESPONSE, "It's always fun to have a challenge(little did he know what we went through 2 weeks earlier in the creek)" Our main goal at this point in the game is to get her FAT. Simple task I think. She is the most agressive eater of a 14 head show string. THERE SHE IS.

I like her, be careful as to how FAT you get her though. IMO there's a difference between a well coniditioned heifer and a overly fat one. And if you've been at even one show you can tell the difference.

Nice looking calf. I agree, be careful about putting FAT on her. If you can see a little fat around her tail head - back off - she's plenty fat enough. You definately don't want to see fat in her udder.
So what is her pedigree? Are you showing her as a 1/2 blood Simmie or commercial heifer class?

She shows as an Influence Simmental at all of the bigger shows. most shows around here require at least 3 calves to consist of a breed so she shows in the Simmental Class at smaller shows. She has Hamburger (H&H) Simmental on both side. Her registration number, 2441077. ON her Mommas side she goes back to New Design and on her Daddys side goes back to Dixie Erica.
i ont know if you have heard of the Hamburgers from Oklahoma but they have an Awesome breeding program. She didn't come from them but her momma and daddy did.
