Thoughts on this Miniature Hereford Heifer?  She's only 8 months old.

I'm a little concerned with her upper neck/jaw fat (in the picture the halter is too tight).  I think its still kind of baby fat but not sure.

Hasn't been on show feed very long but has put on some good weight since.

Thanks!

I don't know anything about miniature cattle, but I really like the way she's put together. Nice and balanced, tons of body, not too high in the flank. I don't mind her front end; I'll sacrifice a choke throat for a little extra volume any day. She's got real nice hair too. Good luck with her!

She looks good. I wouldn't worry to much about her front she doesn't isn't extremely sloppy compared to most minis. Are there some that are cleaner fronted than her? Yes but there sure are some that are worse. What are your plans for her? Whats her bloodlines.
