my little girl, what is she?

Here is the little heifer I bought that I was afraid was a free martin. she is four months old now, and supposed to be a jersey but what do you guys think? she is developing what seems to be a nice bag, much more developed at this age than my Holstien was. someone thought her hairy whosit might be because she is a cross bred.

having trouble making the picture show up

She is a nice looking calf. I am guessing she is a Jersey/Angus cross.

There is probably something else in there, but she is certainly high percentage Jersey.

also, I think she might have been naturally polled, although I put the paste on and probably made her and myself miserable for naught, she never had the pointy little nubs, just bumps I could barely find..but maybe not...oh dear God, Angus?!! they get bid, don't they?!!! I gave my Holstein heifer away to a freind with a big place because I didn't think I had the room

She looks to me that she will be normal Jersey sized. If there is Angus in her it is a very small amount. 1/4 or less. Angus can be small or large, depending on bloodlines.
