Had a heifer born yesterday afternoon.. She weighed a solid 100lbs but the cow had no trouble having her.  She is solid white.  The only way you would know shes not purebred is by the little amount of black on her nose. Let me know what you think

Very nice white heifer calf , is her mother purebred Charolais, you could register her as a composite ...I saw my Milkman calves yesterday, one smoke heifer that looks some what like yours in body form, she and her brothers are out of full sister to Northern Gun bull.  Her brothers are black in color and these calves have mud on them and have had a rough winter in eastern Ne, the one calf definitely shows the winter and on first calf heifer , the other  bull calf show quite a lot of thickness , nice front and some potential to sell very well, but like every one else just waiting to see what happens down the road ...Best of luck ....

That's a really nice heifer, love the way she combines thickness and femininity.

Very nice heifer,she will do well in the future.  On Charolais cows do you have birth weight problems ,used on a moderate ANGUS cow an it was around a 100 lbs. an steers were 85 an no problems ..I f I do flush a Charolais it will be a lower birth weight I think........
