Red Angus & Commercial Replacement Heifers

[creekdrive]

These are the Red Angus & commercial heifers.

RA Heifers. These two are a little lighter boned than some of our others, but the 1/2 sisters we have kept have been pretty good cows. Their sire goes back to a Prime Plus bull

Red Angus heifers sired by our Thor bull:

This heifer is a TANK. And she's a big pet who loves to be scratched between her shoulder blades. :heart:

As always - thanks for letting me share!

They look real nice.

Thanks cross and freighttrain. I'm pleased with them so far. They are all nice & quiet too - nobody has put themselves on the cull list for bad behavior yet haha.
I ran that big Red Angus heifer (4th picture) across the scale today just for curiosity - 760lbs. I knew she was a tank but I didn't think she was quite that big (I thought she'd be a hair over 700). There's a few others that are probably not far behind.

Love your cattle creekdrive!

The shorthorn is strong in that one.

Thanks TT & upland.

The shorthorn is strong in that one.

Isn't it though?? She's the spitting image of her dam except for color:

She's a good cow. Have a solid red 1/2 sister to her and another identical black daughter in the herd that are both equally as good as her, maybe better. This one stands a pretty good chance of being good too I hope. I like the little bit of roan on her and love her deep red color. Not gonna lie I had this one pegged as a keeper from day 1....
I was told the original cow that started the family was purchased by my grandparents in law in the early 90s from another family member and was shorthorn cross. I could look back in the record books, but I'm sure there's at least 5 generations between the original & this calf - all angus sired. I don't think that Shorthorn look goes away too easy.

A high quality group of replacement heifers. You should be very happy with those.

Nice heifers! On one that comes out so flashy, do you keep her rather than sell her and take a hit? If she's topcrossed with a solid bull, will the chrome go away . . . for a while?
