Love it when the "heifer" bull does the job.

[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1228863, member: 21626"] My Halfmann R588 heifer is easily one of the nicest commercial heifers we have had to date... Her only competition is a black angus heifer I had last fall. She is DEEP, plenty of capacity, nice looking udder, nice slope from hooks to pins, and is adequately wide in the rear. If I could change 1 thing about her it would probably be to make her a little more feminine in the front end. Oh, and I should probably mention her disposition... She was never raised as a show heifer, strictly raised with mom on grass, then with her adopted sister on grass over summer, then with the dry cows on grass and corn silage this last winter, I can go up to her and throw a halter on her head, then lead her outside the pasture, and she will lead ME into the trailer as it sits in the yard... My dad says I should flush her and start to develop my own brand of "self-loading" cattle :P The cow I got her out of is now my main embryo recip, otherwise I would be using a ton more of him. I will let you know how she handles calving in the next couple weeks, she's due the 15th of March and is bagging up nicely :) [/QUOTE]
