She is for beef and around the 24mths. I wouldn't chance breeding her. She's not long out of the shed and no meal, but give her a few more weeks at grass and she will be mud fat.

I'm embarrassed to say I don't know her breeding off hand, twas oul lad that got her mother AI'd I posted a pic of her mother and last year's calf on this thread last year.... think around page 16..

page 21 actually... not a cow you'd write home about, but just look at that calf and the heifer in above post.... just goes to show, don't judge a book by the cover

still have 6 to calf-all sprung up to calve in next week to 10days-left the bull out a little longer

170 going through at the moment, will sell 10 or so in the next forthnight, and have 10-15 to cull, but will milk them on for another 2 or so months.

Go quick and ask the old man! She's a good advertisement for her sire

Lovely feminine head on her too.

Great heifer alright. Just shows that the stumpy cow can sometimes be as good as any.

I don't think it helps to have the cows too muscular. Use a terminal sire to achieve that. That's my personal opinion anyway! No doubt it's a smashing heifer but I think you're right to slaughther her. It will be interesting to see how she grades

Fine animal to be fair. It must be tempting to chance an easy calving bull on her....
