pics of heifers

[ROB]

thought i would post a couple of pictures of replacement heifers i have saved back.

i thought this one was real classy - for those who don't like braunviehs!

this girl is going to be AI'd shortly - she is a natural birthed calf out of my donor cow and herd bull.

Good looking heifers! A good friend of mine had a herd of Braunvehs years back, and he had a calving nightmare! The high priced bull he was using had horrible EPD's.. and he didn't know anything about EPD's. He still has a few in his herd, and they make very good momma's.

thats too bad. i don't know why anyone would want to use an unproven bull, or unknown genetics on their cow herd. even if one is not up on "epd's" thats no excuse to buy a bull with no questions asked.

i've got braunvieh's running alongside black hided cows all bred to the same bulls - don't see anymore calving difficulties with one over the other. is it luck? is it management? i think that owning braunviehs doesn't automatically ensue calving problems. put the wrong bull with any color cow and your potentional for problems goes way up.

Hey Rob,

Would you mind showing the pedigree of the heifer in the first picture? She resembles a pair that I bought at the all-star classic sale in 2003. I'm just curious if she is from the same blood. The sire on the cow she resembles was spittin' image.
The sire of the dam was silverwood dragon.
