[QUOTE="AAOK, post: 163136, member: 861"] tom4018, I don't want to put down your cattle, but I have not seen anything in the pictures that might work for a Show Heifer. The Commercial Heifer classes have become filled with the heifer mates of the Show Steers produced by Club Calf breeders. This just knocks the home raised heifers right out of the pack. Since your daughter is sixteen, she should be able to do most of the work required make a "good" calf competitive. I would suggest you purchase a young, Registered Show Heifer that can show in breed classes. You might want to go to as many shows (especially jackpots) as possible and pick a breed or two.
