I definitely agree that she is a bit tighter made, I am against Angus because her full sister had an Angus calf this year and it didn't click very well (no growth). She is also a very moderate heifer. I would definitely like to square her up a bit. She is not registered because all of her dams...

I am looking to breed this heifer in the next couple months. I am open to any breed except Angus. I was thinking along the line of a Dream On son but give me your opinions. She is a Limousin (7/8) Cross Shorthorn (1/8).

We bought a small herd package of commercial Gelbveih/Red Angus cows and they are really good mothers. The Gelbveih are VERY protective when they calve for the first couple days. We breed them to a Limousin bull and have had good luck producing feedlot cattle. The person buying the calves love...
