Says nothing about quality. The medium and large are frame size.

doesn't the 1's+2's part cover quality

med-lrg = size?
1-2 =quality?
2 yrs to short and solid mouth = age?

The medium and large refers to the frame size. The 1 and 2 refers to the grade [good].
The short mouth means older cows not many calves left in her. like short term.
Solid mouth means older cows, but in good enough health to probably produce another calf or two and be able to maintain her weight.

Hope this helps.

1 & 2 is muscle score (sort of), a muscle score of 3 is usually thought of as dairy.
Here's a better explanation:
