Do you possibly think there would be OTHER choices for use on a first calf heifer than star power .  Do you not feel that was a risk.............

I'm sure other options could have been less risky.  My Brother was comfortable with the size of this heifer and didn't mind walking the plank a little.  I know some will say on a heifer don't take the chance, it's not worth it.  Sometimes you have to go with your gut feeling, He did and it worked!  Maybe next time will be a different story.

Willie Morris said that Mamma's Boy's were coming small. That might be a suggestion for a baldy.

I really really really like this gal. Super stout.. I wouldn't be 2 worried about the shoulder.. IF you are just wanting to have good calves outta her!! Bred 2 the right stuff, she could have something way better then her..Yes I said that.. GREAT looking heifer though. Id have 100 just like her!! Calf could also be good.

I agree.  The heifer is just a little course in the shoulders, but you can breed that out.  Just a lot of good to like about her.

Wanted  to share an updated photo of Snickers Star Power Bull calf.  The little guy wouldn't give me the best shot at a photo.
