Opinions

[jgn]

Here is a picture of a 6 month old heifer calf that is also the 1st calf from a red and white face heifer. Her sire was an unregistered purebred black angus. I would like to get some opinions on what you think of her to be able to get more knowledge of what to look at when I see other calves. Thanks in advance for any replies you might have.

Very good topline, clean underside & naval flap. Seems to be good hip. Seems very well nourished.

I also meant to say she was on mommas milk and grass also, no other feed.

Looks good, looks like a good grower. what she weight 300-400??

 

[jgn]

Not sure of an exact weight but would say around 400 at time pic was taken, shes looks to have gained several more pounds in the month since then.

wouldn't be for sale is she? we need to fill the lots

400 pounds at 6 months old. Is that an acceptable weight?

 

[jgn]

Don't go by my guess on weight as set in stone as I'm not really very good at it and was trying to guess absolute minimum, she very well could have been around the 500# mark but didn't want to over guess her.

Nice calf, jgn. I really like the length of her. If she was nice and roomy through the hips would probably make a nice replacement heifer, but I can't judge well enough from the pictures. Does she have some Simmie in her background? Just wondering as she's got that loose dewlap that some of them exhibit.

By the way, cherokeeruby, am I seeing things or is that the dancing banana from "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" on Ebaum's comedy site? Got a chuckle out of seeing him dancing around on your avatar.

Take care.

It is a dancing banana but I didn't get it from that site. Sounds interesting, can you post a link?

Nice-looking heifer, and I was thinking about 500 lbs, but it is hard to tell in a picture.

Nice heifer I'd keep her around.

Nice heifer. She has lots of potential.

 

[Beefy]

keep 'er

 

[sidney411]

If she were in my pasture I would keep her too!!

 

[jgn]

I don't have any intentions of selling her, like to have 20 more just like her.

Good looking calf!!

I like the thickness in her girth/front end. I'm very partial to that type of build.
