I'll try to the next time I'm at dad's.  She doesn't look anything like him and is very different than the other Buster daughters we have.  She's very angular and feminine, a little larger framed and not as deep or soggy.  But she calves easily, has a great udder and takes good care of her calves.  This bull calf pulled her down pretty good, but then again he was over 700 lbs. at weaning.

Once I get a pic of her I'll post it

Thanks to Steve McGill, Iva, SC, for his purchase of Hillside Vol.  Sired by Hillside Leader and out of a Muridale Buster daughter, Vol is extremely sound, moderate framed, athletic, with true muscle shape.  He should prove to be a great asset for the practical, performance based program that Steve and his family have developed.

He sure looks longer than a well rope. Looks like he should do a lot of good. Pretty excited about the leader calves I have on the ground.

Glad to hear the calves are doing well.  As we get more data on Leader I think we'll see that he has some value to the breed.  The bull that Steve bought has been a favorite around the farm for some time and I think he'll do a great job for the McGill's.
