[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1066730, member: 9096"] M5, that cow is nice, but I doubt she's much over 1700... though it is hard to say by pictures too. The snout on that fleckvieh cow I showed earlier allowed plenty of eating capacity, her nose probably would have had a hard time getting into a 5 gallon pail! That bull was pretty nice, but I have as much SH in my herd as I want right now, with most of the cows being half, and a few being 3/4 or 1/4.. I'm looking really hard at Limos... the trade deal (my gelbvieh for a simm) kinda fell through, the guy would still like to use him for another year and he says old bulls that he brings in don't like staying up on the range, and end up coming home right away... so what I'm thinking is I'll look into buying a bull calf which I'll breed my heifers and 1st calvers to, and keep my gelbvieh for next summer for the bigger cows. Here are some of my bigger cows This one is the one that had a stroke in the spring and had to be put down, I figure she was somewhere in the 17-1800 range, she had a lot of length and even more width [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rx7man/media/IMG_7319-crop.jpg.html][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/IMG_7319-crop.jpg[/img][/url] A modest cow, really easy keeper and makes great calves...
