Just wanted an opinion on these calves

Just a little experiment, we bred our receip cows to one of our herd bulls and here are the results.
Calves were born in April and May, and averaged 78 lbs.
What do you think?

here are their momma's
first cow is mother of pic 1&2
2nd pic is mother of pic #3

Last picture is the sire Lazy G Beau.

That is a dandy heifer calf. The Lowlines seem to work well on many kind of cows. Their so wound up that when some of those genteic are released in such a way that you have done. Boom! In their shows, you can show 1/2 bloods. They are all thrown together from 1/2 bloods thru Purebreds. Then they have a Fullblood division.
Come to Muscatine, IA the 25th of June and see them at their first Jr. National Show

I really like the pair pic - who is the sire?

We'd just like people to understand that these lowline crosses work well, especially on first-time heifers.  We just wanted to 'put our money where our mouth is', so to speak.  We call the brindle cow Jane, 'cause she's so plain.  And the 2nd cow pictured is Beauty, 'cause she was pretty ugly when we bought her.  Beau cleaned them up pretty well, I think.  They could make some good 4-H or FFA steers around here and the kids won't have to worry about whether they'll make weight. 

We are sponsoring the intermediate showmanship class at the Jr Nationals in IA in a couple weeks, just wish we could be there to watch.

Thanks, they're sired by ourlowline  bull Lazy G Beau.  He's doing a good job so far.  We bred our heat seeker daughter to him this spring so are anxious to see what he'll do on clubby cows.

I also really like the heifer. That bull looks like he has a lot of power.

The bull does have alot of power.  I;ll see if I can get some pics of the back of these 2 bull calves as they look pretty powerful too, but it's hard to tell from the current pics.
