[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 929736, member: 6543"] when judges place cattle they are supposed to find the individuals who are closest to the breed standard for the sex and age and place them at the front of the class. I say closest becasue very few are perfiect. This is also tempered with the latest show fads which may or may not have anything to do with the breed standard. judges differ in the relative importance of traits and that is why heifer A wins at some shows and heifer B wins at others when they show together. It is all a matter of opinion.....and we all know what opinions are like...... and that everybody has one..... an animal is either functional and productive in its envronment or it is not. The rest is semantics and quibling. If these animals are not standing for evaluation in Denver and vying for a championship....a few minor faults don't mean much.... Even I have a few very minor faults...... I still say that from the photos ......the bull is nice and the heifer is decent..... [/QUOTE]
