[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 652874, member: 968"] Both heifers are nice. I guess I prefer the chrome heifer. As far as the first pic - WHO CARES if they took a halter off? - which, btw, I DON'T think they did. I blew the page up to 200% and could not see any trace of a halter - removed or not. And, that heifer could easily look like that without adhesives - tailhead and all. She obviously has been clipped up. And that is great. You cannot expect to sell QUALITY animals for good $$$$, by presenting them "in their natural appearance". Get real. Just because you shave them & get the dung balls off of them, doesn't mean you are dishonest. No - it means you have a quality animal that you are proud of and you are trying to present it properly. Even if a picture is photoshopped - who cares? There is no way you would even want to change the appearance of the animal. It's your own reputation you're dealing with. Hello! remember, there will be tons of people (hopefully) looking at her LIVE. If she really & truly had a lumpy topline - don't you think people would say - hmmmm - he/she sure presented a FAKE picture? Even if you could not GO to the sale & see her live, you would have someone on the end of the phone that (hopefully) you could trust doing the bidding for you. When you go to someones farm and walk around their animals, you can really take a good look at a specific animal and analyze it. It doesn't matter if the head is shaved or that they might have mud on them. When you are selling using a picture - it better be the best darn picture you can possibly present. An awesome animal can look like a pile of poop in a picture if taken wrong. [/QUOTE]
