[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 660004, member: 7233"] Thank you, I hope it's a sign that she'll be an easy keeping cow. Our bulls brand is an R not a hairpin but it does look a little similar. 3way, we hope to have shorthorn/RA females making up our cowherd eventually. We've been really happy with the RA so far, now it's a matter of finding shorthorns that are balanced and will do well on pasture. The ones we bought today were raised in these same foothills and the breeder assured us they're "real world" cattle. It's good to hear your calves have been turning out nice for you. We did get one shorthorn/RA calf on the ground this year, a steer. He's a handsome thing but weighed 90 lbs and we had to pull him, he had contracted tendons and his front legs are pretty bowed. All in all, not a great first experience so we're hoping for better results in the future. His dam has a beautiful udder and rich milk, but she doesn't maintain as well on pasture as the RA. I don't think the purebreds are really for us but I do think we'll be able to benefit from their influence down the road. [/QUOTE]
