This is a Dec heifer out of a 19D granddaughter bred to a Moler son (she's not standing too good and so appears to roach a little as well as weak behind the shoulders, but that's not the case).
 
She's not the prettiest little thing I've seen, but she definately has a huge hindquarter. I'd like to see her from a few more angles as I don't think this photo does her justice.

I assume that its another calf's tailhead sticking out behind her shoulder?
 
Yes, that's the tail of the calf beyond her. Also its nose makes her left eye look funny.

What do you not like about her?
 
She is just not put together as well as I like. There isn't really any faults, but just lacks feminine balance in my opinion. I'd like to see a slightly better wedge shape and on a heifer I would prefer longer softer muscle on the hindquarter as opposed to shorter harder (drier would be the term we'd use here) muscle of this heifer.

Don't get me wrong, I have plenty just like her and mine have turned out very good commercial cows, I just don't see her as a show prospect.
