Here is a January 2015 heifer calf we raised, showed
and later sold just prior to Louisville.
She was champ at Illinois State Fair and Reserve National Champion
Junior heifer.

She was just the second heifer we have had born in
four years of trying.  Luckily we had mostly heifers this year.

Very cool heifer!  I have seen some good looking belties but feet always seem to be an issue.  Lots of very shallow heels.  Your heifer is a good one though.  Congrats!

I haven't noticed the shallow heel issue in Belties that you mentioned.  Learned something new today! 

I know you must be careful in feeding them or they can develop foot issues.
I was careful in feeding her and had good results. 

Thank you for your kind words, I am really looking forward to next year's show season. 
This heifer is in the right hands and should continue to develop into a very good early junior yearling heifer.

Thank you for your kind words-

To be fair I've only seen a small sample size and they all are likely related cattle.  Best of luck with this flashy gal.  Keep us posted.
