My registered angus heifer that won the fl state fair open angus show got into a pasture with a scrub braford bull!  (lol) The calf is 6 months old. What are your opinions of her?
Thanks!

She looks fair, to me. From a fertility and longevity, most Brafords are pretty good. Um,was the bull an F1 or a true 5/8-3/8?

looks like its got a nice clean neck.  looks like it might need a touch more muscle, but that could just be the pick.  like show stopper said it might make a good recip momma for you.  Things could have turned out worse.  you never know you could try her on a clubby bull and she might suprise you on what she throws.

Thanks she is gonna head out to the pasture in about a month. I am tryin to get her broke and calm her down before she goes. I think she will make a good mamma cow. What kind of clubby bulls would you use on her?

I tend to agree...she is green, but I dont see a whole lot of show ring potential in her, but she appears sound and growthy, so throw her in the herd and see what she does.  as far as what to use, I think there are a lot of ways to go with her, but I think I would agree with ShowStopper and say I would personally put some Dirty Harry in her!
