This is my April 9th Shorthorn Plus heifer. She hasn't been clipped lately. She is out of Sullivan's Blue Roan bull and Sullivan's Stockman cow.

Looks like she might get too big,the heifer i showed this year was like that,judges loved everything about her but said she was a frame size too big.

I think that she looks nice.

The good thing is, if she grows to be a touch bigger like Romax fears, you can breed her as a cow to any of a number of smaller clubby bulls to produce right sized calves.  Enjoy her!

The judges all made comments about being able to breed my heifer to smaller framed bulls.It just sucked being at the bottom of the class and the judges goin' on how they like the way she moves out,best structure,smoothest shoulder,etc.BUT TOO BIG.
