Judging by your heifers front end I-80 would be the only choice I would look at..........

Seriously? I 80 looked kind of straight through the front end i thought, but I haven't seen him in person. I am asking not being a smart ass.

If it were me, your heifer looks as though she could use some softness and depth of rib as well as a cleaner front end. You might consider TLM Bouncer or Majors Money Man if you want higher percent maine. A bull like OCC Legend will give you that added bodied and soften her up some.Northern Improvement is a great choice for cleaner front end and usually makes for a marketable calf.
First calf should be calving ease see how she handles that experience. There are a ton of options it just depends on what you want to accomplish ..(i think).

Im not talking about structure in its front end..........I am talking about its short necked front end........that heifer is chubbed neck from the looks in the picture..........I-80 will add great extension and make them goose fronted and add body and softness prolly wont add any bone but I think he would work really well on that heifer..........and I havent seen any calves of his that had structure issues......JMO
