Any thoughts/opinions on these calves? Show heifer #1 was born March 15, 2015. Heifer #2 was born May 1, 2015. The bull was born April 23, 2015. Sorry about the mud, they were still in the exercise lot and hadn't been brought in for the day.

Heifer 1 looks to me to have little more potential. Could be her age, but she seems more balanced and has some depth of body. Once she gets little more feed in her and hair worked she would look totally different.
Heifer 2 is really green. Little peicey at this point.

Bull definitely masculine guy. Like to change the front shoulder shape a bit but he has some overrall thickness and top to him.

Thanks OH BREEDER for flipping them, I'm not very good with pictures (lol) And thanks for the comments! I will keep my thoughts to myself though until I hear a few more opinions.

Agree with OH on the bull.  I think the May heifer will be the better heifer in the long run.  Much more softness and rib shape.  She's certainly green but she'll bloom with some time. Her shoulder may be an issue down the road, depending on how good of a clipper you are!
