Yeah, Happy till she can't calve and ends up as hamburger because she's ruined on the inside.

It is hard to tell from the angle on the red cow with the calf, but I would call her about a 5 on bcs. The hooks are seen and maybe the last rib.G&L Cattle":3teu2krh said:They really look good Jake!

Sounds like a heck of a deal for you and your younger brother.Jake":3ufu8boh said:Lonepine and my brother and I are going to work a deal to average out the prices the rest of the heifers that were sold brought and buy here for that.

Here is a picture of my lineback calf, does anyone have any info on this breed? Bought her at a market, would like to have more of her.

They are considered a minor breed. Some cheese makers here milk them and others raise them for beef. They come in mottled colors of black & white, the rare red & white & roan plus the less mottled colors of black/white & red/white--always with the distinctive white line down their backs.
Do a search on this forum ( hit the search tab at top of the screen ) to find the most recent discussions about the Randall Lineback breed. There are several links to websites in those discussions and one will lead you to some New England breeders of these fine cattle. Do a search on Google.com as well.
There are several very large as well as a few small herds of these cattle in Vermont..and alot of people have one or two as gentle lawn mowers.
Have seen many pairs used as working oxen and they are certainly a sight to behold. They are easy to train, puppy dog friendly and one of the top choices for 4-H Teamsters in this area.
