[QUOTE="Malter, post: 662588, member: 10787"] What is the [b]Supergene[/b] evaluation system asks Bonsman. It is a system that gives a score to bulls, cows and calves. About three quarter of the total score is for functionality particularly dairy traits. How you can accurately predict the teats that the offspring will have when they are looking at a six month bull calf beats most people but they manage to find a score. About a quarter of the score goes to meat yield etc. There is no score for well sprung ribs or things that indicate constitution. Then there are the funnier ones like [b]Tail Length [/b]means productivity and a [b]Thin Skin [/b]means a more palatable carcass and a [b]Greasy Spine [/b]means tender meat when most people recognise this as being a cow in excellent condition.
