Joe, you must be going to the same sale I am this weekend? I looked at the heifers you mentioned. The TC's have good depth to them, nice, clean front ends, fairly wide hipped. One of the TC's has some Papa in her, # 15130637. Just a personal fav. #14116081 has the most depth, great bone, big ribbed. The 049 daughter I liked best was #15102907. She has EXT on the dam side, low BW (#70) and weaned at 651. There is also a 5175 daughter high WW, her reg # is 15102971, and a New Design 878, that has a good pedigree #15116084. I am undecided as to a favorite at this point. But as a beginner, I can't help ya too much either. I usually make a star by the numbers, and sires I like, then look at the animal, some are automatically X'ed. But put stars by features you like... deep ribbed, good leg set, good diposition, etc. Count your stars, that's your winner.
