Ok I'll bite.

A little rough for me.

Needs to be smoother fronted, leveler on top and bottom. A bit piecey made.

You should learn a lot from her.

A little more shoulder than ideal and needs some more natural depth. I've heard good things about the wide range calves.

To shed a positive response, I think from a structure standpoint, she's very good on her feet and legs. I really like the set she has to her front and rear legs. Also has great base width from looking at the rear pic. She appears to have some natural thickness and a nice spring of rib. She has some really nice pieces to build on.

I agree with Gargan-I think the way she is standing really detracts from what she is probably like-Especially when you judge her by the first picture-plus shes still in grow mode. Put a bunch of hair on her and shed look pretty stout-other than she isnt done filling out-great feet and legs and a butt from what i see O0

Awesome thanks you guys! We've been working hard with feeding them. We don't have the luxury of a cool room but we are in the process of building a stall to put them u der fans. It's hard in this mid ga heat to get them to eat like they need to.

Also since we plan on breeding her this December/January what bull would you guys recommend for this heifer? That could help clean up her weaknesses?

Gargan is right plenty of good things on her. Ironhide, all in, executive order, lock down I think could be good options for her.
