That is a real nice heifer! One of these days I need to take a trip down Route 9 and check out your place. I have seen a couple of your calves on SP and have liked them all!
She was 10 months to the day in that picture.
Honestly, I think she looks better here today... probably because it was her 1st show. I know that she certainly wasn't eating or drinking the best at the show. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that she will look better down the road. You can't tell it in the pic, but she's got a pretty wide butt for a heifer of her size/age. She could be a little deeper sided & she could stand to have a little more hair. But, she's an all-around good heifer, IMHO. Some may not like her because she's a little small/short, but she honestly wasn't out horsed in her class or in the res. grand drive. She is the right size to make an ideal show steer momma, IMHO.
Just being real honest, the black & white PT heifer that Justin has is deeper, thicker, hairier & bigger than this heifer (slightly older too). I think this one might be prettier fronted & a little more feminine, although it's really close. Justin disagrees with me & I might be wrong... I've seen the B&W heifer only twice & I've only seen them together only once as babies.
