Dirty Harry Heifer Pics-Updated....again!

[kane1598]

Here are some quick pics I took of our Dirty Harry x Heatwave heifer.  She is going to our county fair next week, so I thought I would put some new shots of her up for people wondering about Dirty Harry.  We are happy with the way she is developing and think she will compete nicely this winter and spring as a bred. She is 60 days bred to Mamma's Boy.  We can't decide if we want to breed her clubby or go with a Maine bull next time, but I am partial to big tops and hairy ears, but if I like Harddrive quite a bit and I have a conection for Sooner.  I guess I have about 11 months to figure it all out!

My dad fixs up old trucks and cars and tractors as a hobby.  He just finished a '29 Ford that I will try to get pics up to show you guys.  How about the heifer?!?! ;D

I think she looks even better now than she did as a calf, and I bet she looks great as a cow.  She looks to be extremely maternal for having a HW momma, does her mom look this good?  Do you own her mom, and if so, what does she have this year?  Do you think Dirty Harry would work well on ShorthornPlus cattle, with CCC Gold Rush on one side, and DV x ChiAngus on the other?

I had posted her mothers pics on here a while back.  I'm sure that if you do a search on here you can find her. She herself is a stunning individual.  We always have people comment on her and even want to buy her.  She is out of an a ten year old witchdoctor X hereford cow.  She was left open last year, we were going to flush her but it fell through.  She is bred now to Get It Done, and we are praying for a bull.  I have to say she has been an excellent cow and really gave us a nice show heifer. And yes, I think he would work on anything with a little body. There is a picture of a Shorthorn Plus heifer , and my heifer in Dirty Harry's ad in the last edition of the Maine- Anjou voice. You can view it online at the Maine website.  It is on the second to last page.  Hope that helps.

Very nice heifer!
I have a Chi/Maine/Simm cow bred to Dirty Hairy for next spring, can't wait for this one after seeing the progression of your heifer.
Awesome job with the heifer. Good luck at the show, we'll all be waiting to hear the results.

Beware with Dirty Hairy, He will throw rat tails and kinky hair!! 

 

[farmboy]

kinky hair.... the best kinda hair for the body, not the legs though

 

[C-CROSS]

I am not talking kinky as that but true rats!!!

 

[farmboy]

im confuzzled  ???

kinky hair all over the body with a ton of pink oil blowed in gives it that razor type look like you would do on the top line  O0 O0 O0

 

[shortyjock89]

He means like the worst hereford-type curly hair you can think of, only worse.

We thought that Get It Done would add a little more length of front and color. We liked the Get It Done x Heat Waves in Brad Hooks sale alot.

the get it done excites me. i'm looking forward to seeing pictures of that calf. the heifer looks really good right now. she is turning into a cow and has not gone down hill like so many tend to. i think she has a lot of future and will be one of those cows that is just very striking out on pasture. if the mama is already like that then you have something good going on.

 

[kane1598]

Thank you guys very much.  She should be in the hunt for supreme, but there is an awfully nice (and expensive) shorthorn being shown and some other nationally competitive females.  Cross your fingers!

 

[kane1598]

Reserve AOB, should have taken it.  Judge said she was a little too moderate for her taste.  Every division winner was the biggest she could find.  You win some and you lose some.

be proud of how you did. She is still a very nice heifer. Good luck in the future w/ her!
