Thanks RUSTLER9 but I havn't asked yet!?

Thanks Running Arrow Bill,
Like I said the second pic was 6 weeks ago when I bought her, she has been eating ever since, the first pic was taken today.
If you don't mind, shoot me a guess on her age :?:
Thank you,
Mac

Easy to tell that this is her when she first came from the sale barn...yellow sticker on her rear is a dead giveaway. She really looks good now! Are ya' sure you want to eat her instead of finding how she might do as a mother cow?

If she is 19 mos. old and 458lbs . the best thing would be to eat her . You don't want that kind of cow in your herd.

 

[Rustler9]

Well, you don't know where she came from and how she was fed. That could have alot to do with her condition and size when you bought her. I don't think she's much over a year old, like I guessed before 12-14 months. I don't think she has Pinzgauer in her either, she'd be bigger and beefier built.

I'll go out on a limb here, and say she's a LH X Jersey. 14 to 16 mos. old. (without a dna test, who knows?)

Still a good buy. ;-)

Thanks Woranch, like I stated, that was the weight when I got her, and she was starved down. I think that she is comming along right nice. I don't have scales, but I know that she has put on a lot of weight, and will put on some more before she meets her demise, and my delight. ;-)

I want to thank you guys for your input, it has ment more to me than you know,
Mac

I am not sighning off of this thread, keep em coming if you got em

Warpaint,
speaking of LH X Jersey, I have another one that I bought the same day, but I will have to wate till my wife gets home tonight cause I don't know how to post a picture. I can barley post a message.

 

[warpaint]

I can't give you any proof that's what she is, but something about her say's Jersey to me.

i had a originally thought the same thing, b/c of the color.... the thing that deterred me from that is that she has more thickness than i would expect from that cross.

It's the face and nose markings that look like Jersey and the skunk stripe is the LH

[Rustler9]

I don't see Jersey in her. The mealy mouth is coming from the Longhorn. I think she's straight Longhorn or possibly a Longhorn/Corriente cross. I know a guy who has some LH/Corriente cross cows that look about like her. They don't have as much horn. He bred a Limo bull on them and got pretty nice calves. Those little cows can raise a good, growthy calf.

 

[Shorthornguy]

Might be both Badlands, she looks like some of the coriente
longhorn crosses I,ve had. Looks like she would make a great momma, not freezer beef. JMO

:lol: I say- feed her and breed her. She be a right good
momma! ;-)
