[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 846115, member: 1683"] That 'phrase' is an "old saying", and with beef cattle evaluation, more than one picture is required to even be partly representative of the individual being discussed. Also, it depends upon the quality of the picture(s), and the words accompanying them. The operative meanings of most "old sayings" is - they are 'old' and they are 'sayings', - and neither one may be correct in the most strict sense of the word. Generally speaking, pictures are the "worst" method of evaluating a live animal, even 'moving' pictures, such as a video. This is why so much effort is being expended on accurate EPD's, and DNA markers to ascertain Molecular Value Predictions in an endeavor to more closely determine the "worth" of any animal. ...and there is one more factor which has not been stressed in this thread which [b]every[/b] marketer should consider when pricing his merchandise: that is - how important the 'sellers' merchandise is going to be to the 'buyer'. In that regard, it is obligatory on the part of the [b][i]seller[/i][/b] to be aware of what the buyer really wants - and/or - really [i]needs![/i] That is the real crux of "salesmanship"!
