Very nice rear quarters.
I would venture to guess she is bred to a real nice, high quality, real expensive, impressive EPD Charolais bull!

She's bred to bull I borrowed from Compton Charolais for cleanup. "CC Super Duke", or something like that. I'll have to look.
You're devilish Bez. :lol:
Her first calf (heifer) weaned 545 lbs. @ 205 adj.
About 65 lbs. light for the group she was in.

Not picking on you, but show us a view from the side. I only say this because I have an Angus cow with the prettiest udder you've ever seen from the rear; from the side view you can see that she's lacking in the front two quarters.

udder size does not always mean they give alot of milk or that they don't. also 2 weeks before calving they are swelled pretty big and it will go down. you will be able to tell more when the calf gets here.

Being raised on a dairy I know quite well that udder size does not equal milk volume.
Thanks for the comments, but I only want her to give enough milk to raise a good calf.........not set any milking records.
If she can do that with a nice udder suits me fine.
Mike, I agree that all that I expect from my cows is to milk enough to raise a good calf without milking so much that they are hard keepers.
I also like to see a good udder of adequate size, very few cows with small udders raises heavy calves from my experience.

thats for sure too much of a milker aint a good thing. i want one that milks enough to bring a terminal calf to it's potentail and no more. to remain productive longer in the herd without her milk factory breaking down ;-)MikeC":ksbd0sz4 said:

I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures on here so I thought I'd post one of my cows under the "udders anyone" category.

It looks like I'd better go back to the instructions! The picture comes up when I click on the link, but it's not automatically there in the post. :?:
