She's by Bluey, our red fullblood lowline bull out of a red angus commercial cow.

I've tried several different ways to halter break calves and found the best way for me is to put them in a 12X12 stall by themselves and put the show stick on them.  I continue that until they let me put my hand on their butt and stand still.  Once they stop moving (and my hand is still on them)...

Commercial red angus. 

Just thought I'd get everyone's opinion of this heifer....

Let's hope he wasn't in it to start

Congratulations!  Nice set of females, plus congrats to your kids! 

congratulations!

We sell quite a few things on Craigslist and we don't include our phone number in the ad. We've had alot of success selling all kinds of stuff and have seen some good cattle. Think you need to screen customers, and email responses rather than phone number works for us.
