Curve Bender

[Conagher]

Is there a formal definition, or minimum set of requirements for a bull to be designated as a "curve bender"?

Thanks!

As far as I know, there's no set number of pounds between BW and WW (or YW) to qualify as a "curve bender." I consider it a marketing term and when I hear it, I watch the numbers pretty close.

Thanks Frankie, what I suspected but thought I would ask.

P.S. Sent you a PM on the other subject of A.I. Sires.

Thanks!

Got it and responded. But have to get off for a while now....

I would think anything with a below average BW and above average YW and WW would be considered a curve bender. The lower the BW and the higher the YW and BW, the better. An example is BW -1.6 WW 62 YW 112. Of course this is Angus.
