She is out of Ranch Hand and she can be bred to Dream On.

It's funny because I thought she looked like a Ranchhand as soon as I saw her picture.He tends to make them a little shorter necked and wastier up front but makes the broody ones that make productive, efficient cows. I would breed her to Built Right. He is heifer safe and should help the extension and smoothness thru her front end.
Good heifer.

Good heifer.Ditto!

Haha ;D
If you don't want to use Built Right, Grandmaster is a good choice. I also like Trademark even though he is a little bit older, and Dream On is always a good one in many scenarios if he isn't already in the animal's pedigree! I am not sure about Upgrade becasue of his large actual BW, and If I remember correctly, my Upgrade heifer was a larger size calf. I think he would also keep the front a little wasty.

Get a live one out of her first.  The first one can set up a cows productivity for the rest of her life.  Many a good heifers with lots of potential have never had a second calf, it's a shame.  Just because they're positively low bw doesn't mean they have to be junk.

She is really broody looking! The kind I want producing show calves for me. She will work with a lot of bulls after she has that first calf.

I personally don't care for this heifer as a Show Calf, but I can see in her the makings of a powerful cow.  She needs a whole bunch of style, so if you can't afford to breed her to Meyer 734, my pick would be SVF Steel Force S701
