[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 198176, member: 2095"] I agree. First and above all else an animal has to be sound. If the animal is not sound for any reason it has to be the bottom of ANY class. Once we have eliminated the hamburger, weaknesses in structure need to be identified and the animals ranked for capacity, volume, muscling, the way they are put together, their eye appeal, etc. The hardest decision too make are between two excellent animals of varying type. I went to a steer show recently where it came down to a straight Hereford and a straight Charolais. Both were sound. Both were thick. The Char had a lot of frame and a lot of style; but the Herf was stoudt, wider sprung, and better finished. The Herf beat the Char and the same thing happened with their sisters in the heifer show; but it very easily could have been reversed. Not only were they different breeds they were different types and there was no good way to judge it. I think both went on to win their breed steer shows at the state. [/QUOTE]
