Calf Opinions

[nkotb]

I've posted these before, but the calves are on feed now and looking better.  The Hot Spot Steer is quite a bit thicker than he looks in his pic.  The one I am most curious to see what people think is the roan heifer.  I know the pics aren't the best quality, but you kinda get the idea.

So I like the steer and the heifer, they are nice animals, the solid red is very bad. i am sorry. it might just be the picture,. but she is reallly sway back

It is the picture, I had her tied up pretty high when we took the picture and it makes her look that way.

They all look a little green, I would pour the feed to them for about a month and then post them again, with a good picture. If you are going to post calf pictures and ask for opinions at least give the animal a chance to look it best.

Your roan heifer has the peices after some good days on feed she will look pretty good she's got all the bone work there just needs the show cattle condition. Your steer also has some really good bone work he's not frail made and has some natural thickness i think both of those are good green calfs that after some good show feeds been put into them you will have some fun. However in the red heifer i can see in the picture that she's got her head jacked quite high. Nonetheless she is the frailest made of the 3 she's really level in design from her hooks to her pins but is lacking in thickness through her hind quarter and total circumfernce of bone she's standing on and seems a little pinched through her heart girth but saying that i wouldn't call her an Awful heifer she's just more flawed in her design than the other 2 calfs

The red neck roans look alright. lots of positive traits.

The first heifer the picture  red one does nothing for her. if it were me I would delete it and get another. A judge said something once when i look at your heifer that makes sense. She looks piecey. The way you have her posed makes her break in the shoulder and also makes her shoulder bold. They way it makes her neck tie in is what is out of proportion. She is finer made that doesn't bother me but the profile picture of her is not flattering.
