If shes got any limmie at all-one of the Ohlde Jazz bulls on SEK Genetics-Shes got that French Limmi look so even if she aint got a drop she sure looks like one (except the yack hair)-I dont know what she is-but those old cattle really knicked with Shorthorns on the few occaisons anyone had the foresight to breed that way. The ones I saw were bred to quiet the disposistons,because the cattle were NUTS-but the calves were way good,and sold that way-and no-Im all over on breeding-there are a ton of good black ones-especially the Dirty Harry-Ali clans-I just think on her-thats what will be the best 1st calf:as far as shape,CE,style,and thickness. MAKES ME WODER IF EXT DIDNT HAVE SOME LIMMI AS CRAZY AS THEY ARE O0

From what I can see, if you are planning to show her you might want to take a good brush to the manure that is caked to her rear quarter's. That can definitely pull our the hair. She needs more condition and looks little green in this picture. Not sure what ration you have her on. Condition will always help overral appearence.  She looks like she has potential and I like her overrall design. Spend little more time brushing. YOu don't have the facilities to wash in the cold you can brush them out and keep them clean. I think for breeding she would be in good condition but might be too light for show. Maybe its the lighting or the picture. If you can add more cover it may level her some over her hips. You looks like you have the product you just have to work it little more.

I've got a bull that you need to breed that heifer too. JPJ son that will deepen her just a bit, add some bone, and will be safe for a heifer.

The heifer is still progressing, I would say like the others that she needs some more groceries. Get your muscles going and brush her!!
