Been looking at some heifers at online sales.

Anyone have any experience with Unstoppable sired cows?

I my concerns are...

Mature height and length.  They seem a little to moderate framed and short sided?

Pelvic size.  Too small?

Milk?  Do they milk good?

Front ends.  Are their offspring calves clean and good fronted?

Thanks in advance!

Had two full sisters.  Older one looks like the dam -- a maine cow -- long tubular type about the size of her dam who is on the larger end of our cows.  I mistake mother for daughter if I dont look close.  She had a nice angus sired calf that was a thick rascal with hair, but he died of purple gut last spring at 45 days age.  Younger sister was very moderate, chunky, short necked and we made her a market heifer -- made county fair sale and was terminal, rightly so.

We have an Unstoppable heifer.  She is structurally correct, great front end and very sound but she was moderate.  Finally turned her out to be a cow about a month ago and she has grown considerably in that short time.  She is due to calve in about 60 days.

Have an unstoppable cow she moderate framed as well. She milks well and is a good cow for us. She never has never had a calving problem so pelvic size should be good (never measured though). Lastly she is correct in her structure front end included.

Hope this helped!
