She is about 7 or 7 1/2 months pregnant in the picture. I am anxiously awaiting her calf out of the big old bull that I had last year that stirred up all the controversy because he had no "mane."

Since the calf is primarily carried on the right and the rumen is displaced some to the left bu only slightly, with those caveats in mind, you bet she would fit. Those are exactly the type of cows/heifers that work well for us. Can't really tell about the hooks and pins from the picture, but I like her.

I didn't pay any attetntion to the body condition, I was just looking at the width and depth

Thanks. She is also extremely easy-fleshing. She looks like that on prairie hay and about 1.5-2 pounds per day of 20% 3/8" cubes.

Hill Creek Farm":2ek7vueb said:Those are some nice looking animals, especially the one on the far left. What a really thick animal. The others are nice looking to, but I really like the one all the way to the left the best. She looks like a very good pigmented animal and the others do to. I like the darker hided animals than the real yellow looking herefords. Well, the one on the left ought to sire a really good calf that is really thick and great pigment. keep up the good work and breed her to really thick bulls and you will get great results. Goes for the rest of your heifers. :cboy:
