[QUOTE="dun, post: 20994, member: 34"] Bred standards are normaly defined by physical appearence of the animal. Long legs, short muzzle, long erect ears, moves smoothly, etc. Of course that describes a mule, but for cattle it's the same. But in breeds such as Angus being polled is part of it, just like having horns is part of being a longhorn. Color can also enter into it. Pretty much it is what a bunch of people got together and decided was the "ideal" for that breed. That's what makes judging a real challenge. You need to know the breed standard for each breed if they are bing shown in breed classes. Then the real toughy would be best in show. Each animal is compared to that breeds standard, and the one that most nearly duplicates that standard is the over all winner. Steer shows are a totally different ballgame. They aren't compared to a breed ideal but to an individuals ideal. dun [/QUOTE]
