...no, that would be one of these...our stock of choice...15 month heifer pictured.... "Lean" meat is the word with this breed. They are half-goat, eat most anything.

broomd;
With apologies to the OP and all who've been earnestly pursuing the question at hand....

Here's southern Alberta's finest cowboy music singer with a song about your heifer's brother - among other things.


It used to be that beef with mostly red hides went for more than Hereford or black cows at the auction yard here in town.

The rancher who's branding crew I've helped on for more than two decades now has always used an Angus bull for the heifers as they've got a smaller head and sloping shoulder which results in easier calving on average.

All the best to you and all the cattle raisers here.
