Well- thanks for all the suggestions-  It hasn't turned out like we hoped.  The heifer kept kicking at her calf and was just plain mean to it.  After several days we have put the calf with a nurse cow- but now, the calf won't even suck on her so we are milking the nurse cow and bottle feeding...

I know my grandparents are considering selling her if this continues. 

I took some pics of her today.  It was kinda dark in there- hope these will do

her bag is not that big- she just acts like she wants nothing to do with it.  After school tomorrow I will try to get her in the chute again and see how it goes- it's just so sad.

This baby calf was born Saturday but his momma is a heifer and won't let him nurse.  Every time he gets near her she kicks at him.  We did put her in a chute yesterday and let the calf nurse good, then hobbled her and turned her out with the calf  but by this morning she had kicked the rope off...

Thanks- I'll try to post more pics later today.  I'm really excited that everyone seems to like her.

I had to call them to find out- this is it.  The sire is G13 structure and the dam is double bred scotch cap with leachman and traveler- hope I typed it right.

she was born in january. would that age work for san antonio(feruary-march) or houston(march)?

I have had fun with her so far.  It's fun to be able to halterbreak one all by myself- my dad has to help with the steers at first, but if she tries to set back I can hold her so easy since she's small.  And it doesn't hurt when she steps on my foot!! 

She doesn't have alot of hair and all of the ones that I've seen in their angus magazines seem to have alot of hair.  Will she get mor hair as she gets a little older?

she was born in January.  My grandparents really like her so I'm excited to do this for them.  Thanks

My grandparents raise registered angus cattle and I have been halterbreaking one of their heifers.  I have only showed steers in the past and was wondering what everyone thought about this little girl.  Please be honest.

Yea!  I finally got my pictures to post- I will be a junior next year and I get the first pick (over my brother & sister)- we show in a small county show that is a slick show.  Thanks for your input!

In your opinion, which is the best?

I'm new here and want to post pictures of 3 steers that I'm trying to pick from but the post won't show up.  When I tried to do it for the second time it said I had already posted this but it never showed up.  What am I doing wrong?
