Here is a little gem we took to farm fest with us. She is just a Feb born heifer, out of a first calf heifer (FELT Next Big Thing), sired by Grandmaster. I like using him on heifers because we consistently get this kind of calf from him, and have only ever had one bull calf sired by him. She was just weaned about 30 days ago, has not been on much feed (about 5 pounds a day in a bunk with several others). We decided to bring her in and put her on display at farm fest (big farm show in Springfield, MO this last weekend) only because she needed to be halter broke and what a better way to do it!
We had so much interest in her, my daughter decided to consign her to our state sale in November for a show heifer. When she gets on feed, she is going to just bloom. She has a great personality, so we have high hopes for her. Since my daughter has gone off to college, she has no time to work with all her potential show heifers so she sold one to her younger brother and has decided to offer this one for sale to help with college expenses. She has a fall born this year she can show next year if she decided, and several other spring calves still in the field and not weaned.
I think this heifer cleaned up nice. I took her over yesterday to get her picture taken for the sale, and think it turned out pretty good.
We had a great Farm Fest, sold our big Steel force bull the first portion of the morning and had the rest of the weekend to relax. The big one on the end is the older Steel force bull, and the one right next to him (left) is the Lock N Load Feb bull calf. The pic of our daughter and son laying on the cattle, our daughter is on the Lock N Load bull calf, so disposition is NOT an issue with him!
