ParticipantPretty team, what mix are they? I hate it when people call my steers pretty, I want them to look tough. But if yours are heifers its probably okay to call them pretty. :p

Moderatorthat is a nice pair of brochled heifers, there is never any shame in working female cattle, they just remind us now and then that they are not castrated males. How old are they? Thanks for sharing the pic.
