I snapped a couple pictures while I was out doing chores tonight and was curious what everyone thinks.

They are both PB angus calves and are both bred the same way out of Bismarck. And also both out of first calf heifers

The first is a heifer calf out of a Pure product cow that goes back to 004. She looks a little rough in the picture but she had a tough start to life. She got scours real bad and ended up having to be IVed but she has come alive now.

The second two pictures are a bull calf out of a Pure Product cow that goes back to BC Marathon.

I know they aren't the best pictures but I will say this about these calves. I have never had baby calves that have had so much rib shape at such a young age! I am really looking forward to seeing these two develop in the months to come!

Here is another one I took a couple weeks ago with the calf being about a week old. He is a Pure Product out of a cow by 004.

The calves look good!.  You'll love your Bismarck heifer.  I have a similar bred (Bismarck out of a Net worth x EXT cow) cow at home and she isn't very big but she might be wider than she is tall!  The rib shape is unreal.  Plus she has an amazing udder.

Thats what I have seen in both of the Bismarck calves is that they have an unreal amount of rib for being baby calves. The heifer is finally starting to come into herself now that she is eating some creep and is starting to put some more muscle on.
