[QUOTE="francismilker, post: 688620, member: 7028"] Her bottom line leads me to believe she's got some brangus in her. She's not to clean in the sheath area. Most brahman or brangus influenced heifers show these traits. If I was going to show her I'd put her on full feed with some beet pulp added to help her abdomen bloom a little and walk/exercise her everday to try and put some fullness in her heart-girth area. Not trying to be too critical but you asked for honest opinion. Remember this also: Every judge and every show is different. It all comes down to one person't opinion. Even if me or one of my kids were not showing and we were just watching a show; I can't tell you the number of times I've seen judges pick their number one calf and I thought, "Is this guy crazy?". Don'd beat yourself up over a weakly placed animal. We as a whole have put too much emphasis on ribbons and jackpot winnings and taken emphasis off the grading of the carcass. Sometimes the lowest placing animals at the show have the best genetics for marbling. BTW, my opinions will change when you can start going to the meat market and buy hair by the pound and cook it in a recipe for the evening meal! [/QUOTE]
