Clipping Heifers

[William]

How do you clip heifers? is it like steers or do you do it differently? If it is different how do you do it?

I think the big difference is the way you clip the rear end.  You want them to look thick, but not as muscular in the rear end as a steer.  However, many of the Lowline breeders seem to want to clip the heifers pretty clubby, so their are exceptions.  On heifers, you also want the necks & shoulders to look as trim & feminine as possible.
