You have a very nice heifer. Nicely balanced with a little chrome. Should make a good steer momma with thar cocky cool look she has. Maybe would clean up her front end... bit that is getting picky on a really nice calf.

Looks like a pretty tough heifer for the clubby deal. Very thick, balanced, good structured.

Clubby heifers or "steery" heifers really aren't my thing for a whole host of reasons, but for what she is, you have a good one. Have fun and good luck!

Stout!! Looks like she'll fit into a market class better than breeding, have to like the pure power she has. She does look like she carries from leather, but it's hard to tell for sure in the chute.

You are correct! She is an Eye Candy out of the purebred Hereford cow that goes by the name of Beasley.

Really nice heifer IMO she needs to be cleaned up a little in her front end but I guess she gets that from her Hereford momma. She will make a really nice cow down the road.

Did you raise or buy this heifer? Was she on here as a very young calf? I know I have seen a Eye Candy x Hereford heifer before in pics really young and this one could definately be her.  I think she is a super nice heifer!  While I think she is plenty feminine enough, she still tends to have a little more of a terminal appearance than most judges are going to appreciate in a heifer class.  That asside you have to love the natural power, dimension, bone, and class this heifer exhibits.  As was stated earlier, she looks to have a little extra leather in the front, but not at all enough to concern me and getting very picky on a really stout female.  I dont know how you plan showing her, but regardless this one outta be one steer producing machine!

i like the heifer alot and she does look alot like a typical eye candy X herford mix and that isnt a bad thing i would breed her to carpe diem for her 2nd or 3rd calf and you will love the results

HOW NOW GROUND SOW? Man-I love her type-especially if shell make a cow. If they would ever get off thier A458sSS  at cattle visions and finish the picture and specs on Jakes Blue Moon-who I believe is the blue roan who sold way good at thier last sale: he would be the deal to put on her JMO: calving ease-and putting very stout Shorthorn-Angus on Eye Candy-Herf-ME LIKE O0

She looks nice. I think those Eye Candy females will just become more valuable with time. They just look like females IMO. Plus they are different genetics for vigor.

I DON'T like her! Send her to me and I will dispose of her for you. Just kidding. She's a nice heifer. The kind I wouldn't have any problem putting back in my herd. Congrats

In terms of a female that hine leg and muscle patter kind of scares me from a sheer practical functional female sense, but for the show ring she should be one hell of a market heifer.  I didn't know eye candy powered them up that much.  Congrats!

I really like this heifer. I agree with she is very extreme right now, but I have noticed that once they mature some of these super clubby heifers get quite a bit softer looking. With the hereford on the bottom side i would say she would get softer as time goes on. Good luck with an AWESOME heifer!
