Corriente can get as fat as a tick!

My uncle Walter bought a half a dozen of them for roping cattle when I was a kid. He was the type of farmer who couldn't stand to see a critter not eating. Against advice he poured the grub to them. Within a year they were too big to rope and we were using them as bucking bulls!

They could buck pretty good too!

Nah, that Florida cow has a LOT more body capacity that the "Jersey heifer." I'm not the cow pro, but that cow looks the wrong shape for a milk cow. With that little body capacity, even on the off chance she is in fact a Jersey, she'll not produce much milk. And six months bred? I don't think so.
