I often wonder how some people pick out their repacement heifers? How much of the old eyeball method goes back to what we were taught as kids?
I know I have a tendency to pick heifers that look a lot like a hereford(minus the color)! I don't like those long leggy girls and I definitely don't like them light boned! Like a nice thick curly coat, big belly, and wide at the hips. Don't like a real post legged heifer...like you often see with Sims?
About 7 years ago I bought five really good looking Hereford heifers at a bred sale. Big and really put together. They turned out to be about the biggest dogs I ever owned and none of them are around today.
The boy basically decides what we keep these days...with a little helpful input from the old man! He tends to appreciate size and what her momma has done for the bottom line, than I do!
