We would like to know what people think about her.

Deep, stout, great looking cow!!  Appears to be sound also! I would breed her Monopoly or Tiger.

White...check!

Curly hair...check!

That's all I've got...trying to manage my karma points.

I like her depth of rib and volume but I am trying to look closer at how the shoulder is coming together. With clubbier bulls I would be cautious using some that have a shoulder.
Gotta love the hair.

Thanks for the comments

Lots of curly hair. Deep and sound but would like to see her with a little more muscle, other than that good cow.

Got to agree with Forbes - more muscle an Carpe Diem would be interesting . First is there any chance of her being a carrier , play it safe use Alias .  Like to know a little more about her ...

I agree on muscling, she is about a body condition score of 3, we rough 'em through winter on grass hay only.  We have not had her tested, but she has absolutely no clubby genetics.

Did Galloway's eliminate TH in the breed? It's a popular thought that Improver was 1/2 Galloway and that's how we get TH in the Shorthorns.

she is a silver dun Galloway, mostly Canadian genetics.  We bought her in 2007.  She is a 6 yr old cow.  Here is a link to her pedigree.  I am not sure if it will post correctly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              http://www.clrc.ca/cgi-bin/extended_pedigree.cgi?_breedcode=GA&_countrycode=USA&_regnumberprefix=&_regnumber=235223&_regnumbersuffix=&_association=33

  It is my understanding that all of Candian and US genetics that were suspects were disposed of.  I have raised Galloways for 28 years, and know basically everbody that raises them (small gene pool).  To my knowledge there have been NO  TH calves born.  Most of the Galloways are pretty closely related, so it should have POPPED up if it was still there.

 

[shortyjock89]

Good deal. I just didn't know if that was taken care of. Pretty good job dealing with it if you ask me.

Here is the bull she is exposed to.  Couldn't get him to stand correctly.

 

[HAB]

[SlickTxMaine]

OMG!  He's a beast!

 

[Sly]

[HAB]

You got some real hair growing potential there.
