I'm not going to be a liar. This is a 2022 model. Now, if the show industry were only honest about their birthdates, something needs to be done; otherwise, where does it stop? Soon, percentages will have purebred papers, and everything will be a cluster. We are okay with showing a heifer 4 months older than she is. But if we play in a 12U softball tournament and there is a 13-year-old, parents will lose their minds. I don't have the answer, but something needs to be done. At the current rate, we are turning honest people into liars so they can compete. Every time I'm asked to register a heifers, my nose grows slightly. The easiest way to make a 5k heifer into a 20k heifer is to change her birthday, and that needs to stop! I actually purchased lots 56-60 from Gamble Ranch in Idaho. He holds all his heifers open till they are 3. The added size certainly helps, but with this crazy feeder market, passing up the eventual $1500 ticket inside is hard. These are all really nice and should make exceptional cows.
