I like the looks of them, what kind of bull do you plan to put on them?

One looks like a bull...
Otherwise unremarkable.
Better photographs might be advisable.

From what I can see, not a lot to dislike about them but yes some good side views would help.

Very red
I am not a Hereford breeder. Here are my thoughts...
The heifer in image #32423 & #32424. Her rear legs appear very straight (posty). It's common in dairy cattle, but I'm not sure it is a good thing. Image #32427 shows a little leg and they appear to have some curve. I would want to know about where these heifers came from. Do the cows have foot/leg problems?
Yes, in image #32425. Bull only has pigment around one eye. Some of the heifers have nice pigment around both eyes. My understanding is pigmentation is a desirable trait. Believed to reduce incidence of eye cancer and pinkeye. So I would use a bull with pigment around both eyes.
