carpe diem hiefer opinions?

[wyatt]

dont hold back i know she isnt perfect she hasnt had much grain in this pic she is about 85% mommAs milk. she is for sale.

 

[kfacres]

well not exactly the best pictures...

but from this angle, she looks plenty terminal in build...

I think for next time, I'd go with something a little softer, and flexable on that cow.

wyatt, get her on some feed, cleaner her up and take some more pictures (better angles would help) and try it again.
I will have to agree with "IH"  from that one picture she does look steery.

I love the top picture.

 

[dimebag]

Give her some time , i bet she'll body down some and be okay .

 

[schroeder cattle]

the top picture she looks really good! cool colored, showy, thick and she looks really green still. Give her time and you might be impressed!

 

[dimebag]

I think you should breed that Alias cow to Troubadour !

this pic probly isnt much better i will get one tho its just benn raining every day up here :/

 

[kfacres]

try taking a picture either kneeling on the ground, or looking parrallel into the heifer....

taking pictures that look down upon an animal, do zero good for anything...

On a side note, after  5 years, I've finally convinced my mom of that... You'd think after the first 100 times of me telling her, she'd a got it.???

 

[wyatt]

none of these pics are very good haha. the first one i was 2 feet away with a phone in a tiny space puting a halter on the 2nd pic is old and the last one is fairly new but the bars are blocking her... :/ oh well i will get some good ones when the weathers better.

Wyatt, even though the picture isn't that great, she looks batter cleaned up. I think she will soften up after some feed, she looks to have the structure, hair, flash, just needs some mass to her now.

Wyatt how old is your heifer calf? I think that if she is over 90 days I would day wean her for a short period of time then go ahead and wean her off and get her on feed. I think that she'll change some with feed. She does appear to be a little strait in  her rear leg structure so be aware of that when you choose a bull to mate her to if you are planning on keeping her.

 

[wyatt]

she was pulled off the cow awhile ago but somehow got back in that pen, and i got her on some feed about a week ago. she should be a th carrier so i plan on selling her i will try and get a good picture this weekend

Wyatt if you are wanting to keep your heifer, she has a 50/50 chance of being negative for TH. Testing her would not be hard or too expensive.

i know a guy that will do all that for me for what it costs and thanks for the advice cab
