They will make some good replacements. How old and when do you plan to breed them?

I love limos!! As most people know they are lively/a little wild, but with proper handling they will be just as any other breed. As for their size, they look greet to me, because limo's are muscle with a little fat. You sure don't want one FAT!!!!

Personally I don't see how we can truly call them small or scrawny when we don't know the age of the heifers and what type of nutrition they have been receiving. I've seen some really good cattle look "scrawny" when they've had to search out something to eat in woodlots and in pastures that have been stunted by drought.
I think that some folks (especially those that are used to looking at pampered, overly fed show cattle), sometimes forget how real world cattle are suppose to look.
Though the horned heifer appears to lack depth, overall these girls look like they have the potential to be good mama cows; feminine with decent spring and depth of rib.

I'm confused. Did you sell them or did you buy them and plan on breeding them in a year?

This is a big problem with alot of folks. Like it or not we never fed our cattle like they are today. They lived off the land and hay and cubes in the winter. The whole purpose for us back then was to make a profit, not worry about how slick or pretty they were.
I just love the fact that someone can make a judgement from a picture. I can take 5 different pictures of the same cow and she doesn't look the same in any of them. Whether it be the way she stands,breaths or lighting. I guess I just don't get that technical with other peoples animals. If I see something I don't care for I just don't post. I'm not going to bash someones elses herd. All of you high fluting cowboys have nothing better to do than criticize someones elses animals. When in reality I'm sure some of you have a few in the back pasture that you hope no ones ever sees.
I don't care for limo's, even though I still have a few. It's mainly for their temperment than looks. Those are what limo's look like. And there is nothing wrong with them!

Well Joy....what are we supposed to do when all the information we have is a picture and the person that posted the picture says "what do you think". I assume that means they want feedback good or bad.

Well,Ed I guess you have to call as you see it. But when it is common for a breed of animal to look like it's suppose to ,why mow it down. Geez I can remember when angus or hereford didn't look like what they do today. They were better used as crosses.
If these were pastured raised heifers and thats more or less what they look to be. Then their bodies are like they are suppose look like. If you want to take the same animal and feed it everyday. They will look like what everyone wants to see. A meaty ,filled out animal.
