Ultrablack heifer be honest!!!!

[RiverHills]

I like this heifer but just wanted to see what you all thought. I know she won't be a small cow.

The pics were taken over a month ago.
She was 6months and weaned 660#.
Please be honest

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

I honestly like her.

A view from the city. I see a heifer with a nice feminine head, a short, glossy hair coat and strong top line. Underneath she is firm and straight with what seems to be the makings of an excellent udder. Her feet, pasterns and legs are rock solid. She has adequate depth and width.
I have to nit-pick to fine these minor flaws; I'd like to see a longer rump and a lower, neater tail head. And I prefer them closer to the grass.
Her mother looks good too so that is a strong indicator of quality.

Judging by the first picture only she leans too far to the left for me.

She looks curious!!+

Need a good bull to clean up her sheath and add more depth. Her dam looks very rough and pinched not sure if I would call her as a quality cow.... otherwise the heifer is good as a commercial.

I don't know what you mean by the dam is rough?? I would like to see more depth on the dam as well and a little more on the heifer.

The dam is 3 1/2 in the pic

Looks like a cowmaker. The only thing I could critique is the white belly, but a homozygous bull should address that.

Just don't mind of Caustic Burno, he needs to get over of his silly grudge.

By rough, I meant her structure looks rough and I just didn't like her shoulder region and head tail region that much. But her daughter looks much better than the dam.

Heifers have a sheath ? Must be all this transgender stuff going on I guess.

 

[Bigfoot]

I like mother and daughter

The biggest problem I see with her is that both her and her dam are extremely shallow in the fore rib. The fact that the breeder did not make even a slight improvement on the damwith this mating is a concern. Not saying the heifer is useless, but that lack of depth should be at the top of the list to address when planning future matings.

 

[RiverHills]

The dams depth is not what I like to see but I thought the bull added some depth.

For learning purposes!!!
What are the benefits of depth in a working herd?
Pros and cons on depth?

If she is out of a Brangus and Angus..where is the white coming from?

 

[City Guy]

Depth and spring of rib allow internal organs room to properly develop.

 

[RanchMan90]

I generally associate big barreled big capacity with grass type cattle with a big rumen to be more efficient on forage and the pencil gutted shallow cattle to be engineered for feed. It's not a hard and fast rule, but from an outside POV she'll work out if you like her.

 

[Black and Good]

She's Fancy and pretty to look at! When she gets mature just try and breed her to bulls with capacity/guts and your on the road. BTW, her look is better than her dam. B&G
