[QUOTE="dun, post: 27641, member: 34"] Primarily you want to look for the obvious in the dairy environment. Average to aabove average for size for their age. Depending on their age, bangs vaccination, dehorned, extra teats removed, good solid feet and legs, and the body ideally will be more wedge shaped then a beef cow. Of course the shape is dependent on age, but feet and legs are vital at any age. DHIA records on the dam will also help to boost the price and value a bit. The attached, although dealing with adults will also be prsent in calves, just not to as great a degree.
