[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 321622, member: 1683"] From the picture: The heifer looks "rough", but that could be a result of several things. Consider these possibilities: LA4 Angus mentioned the possibility of worms. What is her age? Has she been on a mineral supplement as part of her dietary program? What is she being fed at the present time? What kind of a producer is her dam? What are her EPD's? Did her dam calve easily? Phenotypically she looks to be a fine example of a Red Angus heifer. No outstanding faults that I can detect from this picture. In considering whether to retain her as a replacement, she should be able to be an improvement over what you have at the present time. That determination should be made by looking at her Phenotype AND her EPD's, and deciding if she will fit into your long-term herd program. Has she had her shots yet? Health considerations are vital before you start planning her future - whatever it may be. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
