[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1055509, member: 9096"] I like Sofa the best for the meat, but I think Kama has the best build I've seen in a long time... great topline, reasonable meat, good chest and hooves too... both are great to work with, Sofa is a one-man cow, and is shy of people other than myself, while Kama LOVES anybody. I've never kept any calves from the speckled cow, and she's the last of her maternal line... she's made nice steers, but her heifers just don't seem to have much late season gain and fall behind... she has been a trouble-free cow otherwise. Here's a pic of my bull calf this year that's going to my neighbor, His mother is 7 years old, and maternal sister to Kama, and has the same father [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rx7man/media/IMG_9173_zps5d064d9a.jpg.html][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/th_IMG_9173_zps5d064d9a.jpg[/img][/url][url=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Rx7man/media/IMG_9167_zps7b3c259c.jpg.html][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/th_IMG_9167_zps7b3c259c.jpg[/img][/url] and a line bred steer from my first timer Cenci (full sister to Kama), I'm impressed with her performance, though she's lost some condition in the process..
