Our Show Heifers 2012....

[Warrior10]

First off is a Bojo Heifer, she just shucked all her hair but once it comes back she is gunna make a pretty good market heifer I think.

Heifer #2, High % Simmy. Out of an Apex Cattle Bull named 9k Gold Key. Will be shown as a Breeding Heifer.

Heifer #3, My Turn heifer. Looks just like her daddy in this pic. She too is finishing up shucking her hair. Not sure whether to show this one Breeding or Market? What do you think? Comments on any of the heifers are welcome! All 3 will be getting bred to Jesse James in Mid May!

Nice heifers. I like the Bojo heifer. She needs to be bred to a Shorthorn bull.

that bojo is massive boned!

Thanks for the complements on her! Her only downfault (surprised nobody has caught it), she toes out a little. But other than that she is very complete.

JTM: I have been hearing that from my grandfather! He runs commercial shorthorns with a couple Waukaru bulls!

She just reminds me of a couple of my Purebred red/white Maine Anjou cows that I have. Given, she is very thick and heavy boned but bred to a good breeding Shorthorn bull, not too clubby, she could throw a really nice show heifer or maybe even a herd sire prospect. I would suggest Star Bucks but not on the first time on a heifer like that, but you will want something structurally correct with enough curve in the back legs. I would be a little worried about structure using JPJ on her but if the calf wasn't too straight then that could be a really good calf...

Nice looking heifers! Good luck and keep us posted on how you do!  <beer> I really like that Bojo heifer too.
