[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1342048, member: 378"] Disposition is temperament, are they mean, dangerous or flighty (flighty, high headed, meaning they see you coming and will turn a bolt to the far side of the pasture or further, maybe over a panel in the working pen.) Phenotype is frame/bone structure, muscling, looks like a bull or cow (masculine or feminine), udder, both attachment and teat size and shape, legs, feet, etc. One more you didn't ask for frame size. Frame size is the height and weight of the animal. My thinking is it is better to have a medium sized cow that raises a nice calf, say weans at 550 to 600 lbs. in a nut shell I would rather feed and maintain a 1000 to 1200 lbs cow that raises that type of calf then feed and maintain a 1800 lbs cow that raises the same size calf. It goes deeper than that but that is pretty much the basics and strictly my opinion. [/QUOTE]
