[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 220987, member: 2862"] Had a chance this afternoon to grab a couple pics of some of the heifers I've got left in the yard: These are two of my better heifers: [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77/Push_Rod/33.jpg[/img] [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77/Push_Rod/dbe6c19f.jpg[/img] A couple lower end heifers that I would call about average for the breed. Too much space under their bellies (especially the second one), but they walk good, milk good, and their calves are doing well: [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77/Push_Rod/15.jpg[/img] [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77/Push_Rod/9.jpg[/img] I hesitate to even post this bull, as he's gonna get tore up. Nowhere near enough rib, too pinched up both front and back, and not enough muscle expression for a 2 yr old. Having said that, he does have some good traits. He walks very well, has well above average testicle size, has great width and spring on his ribs and his weaning weight was very impressive, which I am lacking in my animals. His dam was also very impressive, so I gambled as I was looking for a maternal bull this year. He'll do well on some of my very deep old Angus/Shorthorn crosses, and I need some heifers out them.

He came up shooting 20% detached heads this year, which is damn shame, as he was (I think) a very good bull: [img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77/Push_Rod/freddy2.jpg[/img] Hope these help you out a little.
