This is a late March born  EXT x 6807  Angus heifer.    I am thinking of flushing her mother again the same way.  Any major flaws you see in her that would keep you from doing the same? I wish I had a better picture, hopefully you can tell something from this one. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a nice heifer with good pedigree.  They seem to change a lot between now and November though.  I like to wean and feed for 60 days before making keep/cull decisions.

Thanks.  I have a full sister that is about to calve and I like her a lot, but I tend to be partial to my own.

She looks good but if I could change one thing about her I would clean her up some coming out of her brisket and into her neck... Kinda fleshy

An EXT/6807 pedigree is solid and will still be well known by most several years from now. My only concern would be the disposition. Hopefully, that hasn't been a problem for you so far.

EXT's can be nice - they are just misunderstood.  Leave their calves alone until weaning or make sure you have a long rope and adequate places to hide if you must tag.  (dog)

I'd clean up her front, give her a little more depth in the heart and I'd like to see a tick more muscle.  She's not quite feminine enough for me as well.

HOWEVER, I know how hard it can be to show the quality in a calf through pictures.  I have a dandy of a heifer, but she always looks course fronted in her pictures.....  So, I hide her.    ::)

The thing is, it's a solid pedigree, if she works for you, that's what matters!
