Sorry about that. Yes she is out of one of our hereford cows. I was really hoping for a little bit of roaning... but she come out looking like a straight up hereford. :-\

She looks like alot of the PE calves that we have had.  they have plenty of frame, and spine length to them.  Not overly huge boned, yours has more hair, and most are steeper from h-p.  I really like the extension on ours, as well as  yours.  He did not throw any color at all for us, just red and r/w (on shorthorn cows).  This year, I stuck him in a lutton ang.. so we'll see what happens there.  Ours on thickness, were hit and miss.  I can't tell yours from the side, although she doesn't look like a super chunk.

My buddy uses the load out of him on ANg and Ang inf cows..  Says they get a ton of blues??  (lol)  They almost quit using him cuz he makes too much color (lol)  They really like them, and PE has worked real well for them, from what I have seen in pictures as well.

Thanks! Yeah i would like to add some stoutness of bone to her. However when you look over her top, you really appreciate them. I think i have one straw left of him, so i might try to stick him to one of our simmis and see what happens?

Very feminine gal. Great length of body. I though Polar Express was a PH carrier you may want to test for that in the future. I also attached a picture that is little easier to open for those on dial up.
