i was just thinking ahead to breeding the two heifers I have in the barn and was needing some suggestions. The first one is a very feminine maine angus heifer that is kind of straight off her back pasterns so I would like to correct them and after that some after thoughts would be maybe some more rib and muscle but of course I don't want to push them to hard for there first calf. The second one is a PB angus heifer that is really good in a lot of aspects just roaches a little bit so I would like to straighten her top out but yet again a live calf is main priority. I would prefer the bulls to be proven calving ease and I would like to keep the PB angus pure and I don't really have an extreme preference breed wise on the crossbred . thanks in advance. sorry for the lengthy post

if she is straight on her hind wheels, I would bet a small chunk of change for some post-legged cripples with breathe easy, dirty harry and especially I-80. and ive heard of a lot of 90-100 pounders out of trifecta
