[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 693821, member: 3235"] Your right, My old college judging coach when teaching us to judge hogs was they had to have base width and that muscle has shape whereas fat doesn't. Understanding that principle is helpful in judging cattle too. Fat can make cattle look a lot thicker than they really are. Looks alone can't determine REA. A local large Chi angus breeder made the comment a few years ago after getting into the carcass traits that they are realizing that cattle don't have to be 3 axe handles wide in order to have a good carcass. That being said though I do beleive that REA is probably a lot easier trait to measure through ultrasound than what IMF is as management plays a larger role in imf scores. I am to the point that I won't use bulls that don't have scan data on them and their mgs and they need to have some actuall data on their offspring before I use them in any volume. Brian [/QUOTE]
