She is out of Castlerock Son X Kiss This. No jackpot shows, just local fairs for a 4Her.  We have some pretty good competition, so not looking to win, just stay out of the reds. Pick her apart for me as I dont not know what to look for and what to stay away from. What would she be worth if anything above market???

She looks to me to be a feminie female with a good profile. With some feed and care she'll do fine with what you are wanting to do. Find a CE bull to breed her to with some bone and guts and she should have you a very nice calf. A Angus bull that Mill Iron mentioned on another thread may result in a calf that complements your heifer, BC Classic.SH bulls I think that I'll leave that to the SH crew here on the Planet.

Honestly, don't see much wrong with her picture.. few things here and there to make her more competitive.. but in the realm of things...  I think she'll work for what you want.  High flanked, nope... deep flank is nothing but fat-  who cares about fat? 

I don't even want to know her pedigree- especially if your in Iowa and she's roan... ;)

real nice calf though...
