[QUOTE="rkaiser, post: 179283, member: 2159"] Maybe perfect was a wrong choice of my words ollie. 5 is the top of a scale from 1 to 5. Why is it perfect, why is it the top score? Because in a lot of Cattlemens mninds including Bonsma's, mesurements of these kinds identify cattle with fertility, vigor, adabtability, feed efficiency, calving ease, low maintenance and especially quality carcass producing characteristics. Eat up a lot of shows Ollie??? Don't know about that. But I will agree that there are a lot of good cowboy judges and most could pick up on this lineal measurement thing with their eyeball if they remain honest with themselves. Not bragging here but these three bulls were my picks for our own future herd bulls and the scoring showed where my eyeball was at. A little surprised with the lower score for the 57P bull, and will have to study the numbers a bit more to see where he was lacking. Any thoughts from the pictures? [/QUOTE]
