she's moderate... going to be a high 5 framer...  the penmates are 2-4 months younger.

she looks nice enough.  It's hard to tell thickness from a profile picture.  Good depth.  I would prefer a straighter topline tho...

I thought I had a pic showing rear view, or at least 3/4 away, but I don't, or can't find it... 

our intent is to clip her up this weekend probably.  She's headed to a sale, and I need to get some good pictures for the catalog.

I think she is a nice heifer from the pictures, topline behind the shoulders is one thing, and with the picture of the penmates....it kind of looks like she may track a little narrow, but thats a big maybe, just by the way she is standing, but she looks like a nice heifer

I tend to agree. 

Like I said, hopefully we can get some updated picts this weekend.

I really like the depth of rib and the easy fleshing/keeping look of the heifers. It's hard to tell on structure from a picture but the back legs seem a tad straight. They seem like the right type. Good luck with her.
