Limousin January Heifer

This is my first post here....I have been looking at this forum for a number of years and decided to get opinions on this heifer. She will be my 4H heifer this summer.

She's pretty nice necked, big hipped, and long spined. Wide. I like her.

Overall nice calf, good enough fronted, good thickness, level top.  Could use some more rib and leveling up from hooks to pins like a lot of limis.  What is the pedigree?

She is sired by SL Bullet Proof and out of an Anchor B the Smooze first calf heifer. She is bred back to calve at 23 months. ]

What do you recommend to give her a little more rib capacity? Keeping in mind our first show is in July.

 

[Tyler]

Being bred early helps and a lot of feed.  She could use a little more condition by July for a show heifer too.  Protein is probably good just up the volume, fat and energy of the feed.  We use beet pulp or winning fill (kind of expensive) to increase volume of the feed.

In the past I have started my show heifers on beet pulp in the middle of May or so.

What can I do to help her drop in the flank a bit, as in my opinion, she pulls up at her flank?
