Pretty good picture examples and written explanations on conformation.

Ok - I can't resist . If you are looking at cattle legs doesn't it seem odd that being " cow hocked" is a bad thing in cattle ? A cow being cow-hocked ought to be the natural state of a cow. :lol:
I think they need to change the name of that one.

How about cricket legged. Look like the would make music rubbing together

I bet you'll come out of the epidemic just fine as long as the cow hocks don't go cricket-legged on you.

Thank you for the link. Very simple & understandable with good pictures.

I'd be careful about taking advice from someone posting a picture of a heifer and calling it a feeder steer.

It is good to be able to see pics of what different terms represent but it looks to me that picture #17 is a heifer not a feeder steer.
