Daughter's New Show Heifer Out Of Monopoly - Please Critique

[Sambosu]

Well my daughter and I are pretty pumped about the new heifer we purchased. She was sired by Monopoly. Since one can become a little barn-blind, I would like to hear others opinion (good or bad) on the heifer.

I think she is really nice... the head shape kinda looks coarse... this really doesn't matter but overall femininity is what people look for

her white belly and flank require a second look to confirm her nice depth... if that was all black it would be better

neither of those affect her real qualities but might effect placings in a tough class

neck extension and clean fronted are good... does her shoulder look a little coarse?  I would really like to walk around her

I would be pumped too, she looks like a steer making momma.

Gunna show her market or breeding? Good bone, good depth and appears to have good hair. I would change her front shoulder, it looks a little too bold. But maybe thats just how she is standing. Whats the other side of her pedigree? Looks like a good buy!

I like her. I have a solid black monopoly heifer just like her that raised my high selling steer this year. The chrome is a nice extra touch. Good luck with her!

Thank you all for critiquing our heifer. Her head has changed a lot because we removed her scurs the other day. I agree that the chrome really makes her very eye appealing but could cause a judge to overlook her depth against solid black heifers. Our state doesn't have a market heifer division, breeding heifers only. Her dam is a Freestyle Myers. We have been using a shedding comb on her and now she is slick.  The good news is she still looks the same with out her hair and her shoulders don't aren't as course as they are in the picture.
