[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1588948, member: 21715"] 1 - Temperament. 2 - Ability to do their job (raise a healthy calf each year who will breed at 13-15 months of age) without fancy feed or tons of attention from the vet. 3 - Locomotion / structure 4 - Palatability traits (i.e., am I doing what I can do to ensure the consumer will enjoy their meal) ........ As an aside, I saw a video online if a bull being promoted. He was thick and deep and wide. Then he moved. He was so very unathletic. His pelvis was off - nothing flowed. Total train wreck! I asked the guy who posted the video if the bull was his (it wasn't) and I asked him what he liked (EPDs) ... in hopes he'd reciprocate and ask my opinion. He didn't, so I just kept my yap shut. Cattle with poor structure are more likely to have temperament problems (I know I have temperament problems when my body hurts) and physically hurting increases risk for illness (a body under stress cannot fight bugs as well as a stress free body). A few thoughts on a Thursday morning ... [/QUOTE]
