I would like to see her a little bigger boned. However, that is just a trait in both these breeds. She prob. has enough for her type. A little more extension through the front end, but its not bad by any means. Looks as though she has enough muscle. This is not bad, just being REALLY picky, Id like to see just a tad bit more spring to her rib. However, I would have her in my heard, really good female. Id be proud of her!!

I think the only thing I would change about her is her front end. (clean it up a little.)
But other than that nice heifer.

She will show in the junior show, and i would like to lengthen out her neck just a bit! It's hard to see but she has awesome base width and just screems cow!

Nice solid heifer. Who is she out of?
She is a Macho x Magnet  Thanks for the comment

Macho has been having some good calves.

Keep in mind though that Simmentals carry a little bit up front just like Herefords and other breeds. I have a friend who raise show cattle and whenever we look at Herefords he always complains about their front ends. His term is "junky fronted''. Honestly I like to see a little bit of brisket there. Obviously its not popular in the show ring, but its worth it when it comes time to winter that cow.

I like her, looks like she will be a great cow. Good luck! I'll be there Wed and Thurs.
We will be out there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  It will be interesting to see how they pull of the NECC with 1/2 of the building being destroyed last summer by the tornadoes ( see Storm Chasers episode on Discovery channel)
