What do you think of these shorthorn heifers

[LittleHeifer]

These are some heifers I'm looking at I'm curious what you guys think of them

Jake's Proud Jazz heifer #503- big stocky heifer (pic 1)
Jake's Proud Jazz heifer out of purebred Shorthorn cow. D.O.B. 3-18-10 birthweight 68lbs. This is a super thick and stout 2010 calf

Bred yearling #091-white heifer (pic 2-3)
Bred Shorthorn yearling sired by RS After Hours. D.O.B. 03/17/09 birthweight 78 lbs A.I. bred to Jake's Proud Jazz, exposed to a Red Angus bull (it was raining when I took this picture)

i like the power and substance on the first pic. not so much on the other two cows

 

[LittleHeifer]

Thanks show stopper. I am def getting #503 but if I get one of the other ones as well he will make me a deal of $650.00 each. is #091 or #502 worth it? I think 091 would be as she is already bred. he is sending me more pics of both of them so I will update those as soon as I get them.

i like the first one for sure...

for $650, the others arent bad...they'd make brood cows...

I like the first one and the third one would be worth the gamble at that price. The bred does not look very big, how much does she weigh? She looks very narrow in the photo and I would be concerned. If your building a foundation you might want to pay more for a better one.

I dont see how you can go wrong on the three at that cheap money.the good one is worth the price of admission.<-the white bred is not that narrow in the second pic-and does have some hip. She looks by her head that she didnt eat very well growing up-I think given her sire(I really like him) that once shes mature-and if you can breed her clubby-you might be surprised  O0

I am def getting 503 and 091. I may not get 502 but I want to see ped before I decide for sure. from the pics he sent today,502 looks flat and narrow out through her rear and front.

Definately like 503,but if you can get them all for that price i would jump all over it,you can't buy stocker calves around here for less than $750

 

[LittleHeifer]

I am paying $950 for 091,sorry forgot to update on that. She is AIed to JPJ.

I really like the first heifer will work well for most shows.
The other two are way to light on weight!

 

[LittleHeifer]

they don't look as light from the close ups. but they are under weight and as soon as I get them they will get some grain and fresh start to get them up on weight.

I don't know if you are just starting to building a herd, but you have to start somewhere. I don't think they are a bad start at all. Good luck with them!

I am building a herd. My brother and I both have a heifers. Star and June. We got them with the help of the Snake River Stampede, they have a calf scramble that 4H/FFA kids can compete in if they get a calf or thesportsmanship awards they get 1000 dollars to get a heifer of their choice beef or dairy. Now I am getting an FSA loan to get two Heifers and two steers. I am sooo excited to get these girls.
