The Ideal Beefmaster Female

[East Caney]

I think she's as close as it gets. I thought I'd post her here for a barn-blind eye exam. I know if I'm hallucinating, there won't be a shortage of folks to let me know the same.

She is a gorgeous female! Congrats!

Looks like a solid cow who'd benefit most people's herds.

How old?

What, if anything, besides grass and mineral, does she get?

 

[branguscowgirl]

She is a very attractive female! I could not say that "she is perfect" though, without seeing her move. But by this picture, she sure is beautiful.

 

[crossbredcalves]

I wouldn't mind having a pasture full of ones just like her.

260 daughter?

 

[wacocowboy]

I would like to have her in my pasture.

SHe's close to the ideal, to be closer you must see more of a wedge (lower flank) and a touch more refinement in the neck and shouders.

Saw what I would consider the ideal beefaster cow two weeks ago, don't think I took a photo, but I'll have a look to see if I did.

Actually resembles a red brangus more than beefmaster but a very classy lady. I'll take three. ;-)

She is.

She's been getting a 2:1 salt and meal. As you can see, "lush" is not a word used to describe my pasture conditions.

I've always wished she was juuuust a touch smoother through the shoulders. You'll have to educate me a little on what you're looking for in the lower flank.

Not a beefmaster cow, but this one has a nice wedge (flank is lower than chest, yet very deep-bodied overall).

An old timer told me once to think a 'pear shaped woman' when thinking about a cow with a wedge shape...

:ducks-and-runs:

Man she's pretty.

I understand what you're referring to now. Do you have any photos of heifers with that shape? I see the extra depth of body this cow has, but the angle of the stomach itself seems to be lost where the udder distends.

 

[Caustic Burno]

Pretty girl.

 

[creekdrive]

I know nothing about Beefmasters (or any of the brahma influenced breeds actually) but that is a pretty cow. I think if I lived elsewhere and needed ear on my cattle, this would be the breed that would interest me most.

Super..
