The second heifer is the best of the bunch. The red one should have her head cut off. Running gears suck.

I think it would more understandable if you could explain what you mean exactly by ". . .the dam and sire are real nice. . .".
"Real nice" does not tell anything about the traits or characteristics of an individual.

I hate to be the sheep, but I don't like #1 all that much, and the last one might deserve a better pic to make a good evaluation.. the red girl is nice, but I'm personally not much for the brahma look... that's just me though
As for #1, I remember posting a pic of one of my original cows, and someone said it was one of the worst cows he'd ever seen, yet she and her daughters have done well and have been pretty troublefree. Meanwhile I have 2 cows who are beautiful, thick, and heavy milkers, but we've kept 2 daughters of each of them and they were nothing but trouble, and couldn't wean a decent calf to save their life... so they didn't stay alive.

It may be the angle of the picture, the first one looks sort of bullish about the head and neck. Almost as if someone photoshopped a different head and neck on a heifer.
I think that the others will do well for you. They look like they will make good commercial cows. Hope that they grow out well and breed when they are supposed to.

Gary- why aren't you going to register them? seems that you could get a bit more for them later if you had to sell em, even as 5 yo cows. Also, gives you the option of selling their calves registered. whats your (and anybody else) thoughts on this?

Hard to tell with some of the angles of the pictures -- but all look to be balanced front to back, might be a little pinched up front but solid players with some flashy colors if that won't hurt you in the sale barn... we try to keep solid dark red, and black to not get dinged out here... but every know and then we get a flashy one.
#1 - as you know already is deficient, we would have culled her, but if you are determined to give her a shot and keep her through breeding -- she needs to be paired with a bull that isn't leggy like she is that will put some weight on both the front and the back... if you had a short-legged freight train of a bull, that would work best.
Good luck with them all.
