OK, I'm too lazy to go to the store tonight lest it interfere with BYC time. I guess it's eggs or a can of tuna for breakfast tomorrow!!!

Why? Just what to know.

Size, confo, overall look/health.

Being the size of a yearling at 20 months is the biggest issue. Like 1muttsfan said, calving ease is a huge consideration and it has a lot more to do with the future than just this first calf. She's more likely to have calving issues regardless of the bull you breed her to and her size severely limits your options for breeding her in the future. Calving issues are expensive and quickly lead to loss of both cow and calf.

Another thing is that you wanted a dual purpose cow. This is not a heifer that's going to provide you with dual purpose calves.

She's not worth what they're asking for her and she's probably not going to gain any value going forward.

She's just, imo, not a good investment. I'd keep looking.

RaZ, that's why I got rid of him, my water dog that is... The cost of minnows was getting ridiculous!
I want a bottle baby! Threesomes weeks sweet!

THAT...made me laugh out loud.

Taprock- that's neat how the coloring is almost the same on our boys.
Nova- LOL. His name is actually Pretty Boy Newton, but that's a lot to keep typing so I tend to shorten it. His sister is Pretty Lady Olive and she lays the green eggs. As for any faverolle, no idea. He's a TSC baby sold as Americauna. Here's a photo of the two of them from this past summer.

Whoa!!! This rooster has like 6 colors in him!!! Beautiful!
