• Look at the hindquarter, length, thickness and constitution here.  She's polled as a bonus.
• A good set of performance numbers.  Her sire is a really powerful Offshore son who is doing a sterling job.

Sadly, our 2010 year started out bad on 9/Jan/10 when Jasmine died.  And, she was 8 months pregnant.  Of the four prize Charolais animals we bought, she had become our favourite; she was gentle, calm, great body make-up, and she had become somewhat of a pet.  She swallowed a green orange that she picked off an orange tree near the front of the property while we were preparing the other three animals for AI.  The hard, half grown, green orange lodged in her oesophagus and would not pass into the stomach.  We worked hard for 3 days with a vet trying to save her; we even kept her hydrated and fed by putting water and water based feed through a side hole directly into her stomach.  However, the orange did not move and we lost the battle to save her.  It is a bummer both on lost dollars and lost gene pool that we really wanted.
