Pretty hfr, in this picture she appears to be a touch sickle hocked however. Imo that's better than being to straight legged though!!

Seen her picture on Launter's blog today. Really like this heifer! Her front end looks perfect to me. Agree with her hind leg structure, but what a nice change from the rest of these post legged clubbies.

Got a pic of her in the pasture today, I'm about to let her loose for the summer and try to get some of the fat off her to breed her this fall.

Iv been thinking just a low birth weight angus, with her clubby genetics and size I don't want to ruin her on her first calf, but I still got a few months to think about that! Snapped a pic of her in the pasture today, thought she was looking more and more like a cow instead of a steer

Figured I would do another small update, she is still growing well. I will be breeding her December first to a step up, which is a purebred Simmental.

I like your thinking on breeding, but I would go with A Step Up's daddy Grandmaster for her first calf until everyone finds out what A Step UP really looks like for calving.  I dont think I've ever had a Grandmaster more than 75 pounds out of some big cows.  Up and running, vigorous little things. 
You have a dandy heifer their, just get a live calf for sure.
