[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 392385, member: 539"] Do a search on judging cattle - that is exactly what the judge will be doing to your heifer. You want a heifer that has a good temperament, is easy to handle, and has the best conformation you can afford to buy. If she is high-headed and runs when you walk among them, leave her there. If she has a hard look to her eye, leave her there. If she is flighty or skittish, leave her there. Pay attention to her eyes, and the way she holds her head. Since you're new, it will take a while for you be able to tell the difference, but it will come. Listen to your instincts, and do not make hasty decisions. Look at a variety of animals before you make your final decision, and do not let owners pressure you. I would also suggest you take along someone who knows cattle, and that you trust to help you make your final decision. [/QUOTE]
