This is my sons heifer we got in August, she is a February calf out of Unleashed Keepsake. We feel like she is pretty cool, she has been doing pretty well in the Jackpots, and she was a class winner at The State Fair of Texas in the Jr. Show, and got 3rd in her class in the Open show. We are taking her to Ft. Worth and Houston, and just curious on opinions from folks on here. Thanks for any comments.

I think she looks really good,and I think her record speaks for that as well.  The Herefords have gotten really popular again the last few years, and there are some pretty salty ones getting drug up and down the road here in TX.  So to win a class in Dallas out to tell you what you need to know.  Again a sound, long necked, long bodied individual. Has good circumfrence of bone and has plenty of power.  To get really critical she may have a little more set to the hocks than some people will like, but for me that is not a problem at all.  Overall a really good package.  You can tell she was still a little green at Dallas, but she looks like at that point she was right on track.  Good luck with her.

thanks, in this picture she had only been on the halter for 45 days, and honestly that is how long she had been weaned. So, yes she was pretty green, only on feed for 45 days. Thanks for the comment.

She looks good. If you have the chance to go to the Texas Hereford State Show or Junior Nationals go! Great people, and your kids will have a blast.

Thanks, we are planning on going to the State Show next summer, not sure about Jr. Nationals yet. This is our first Hereford, and we are really having fun with her.
