[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 850753, member: 1683"] Hmmm. :? This is an interesting commentary. It would be informative if the Judge could be convinced to explain exactly what dictates "too much muscling" - such as - compared to bone size and structure for the age of the bull, or the particular breed in question, or what "...fall apart" means - [b][i]EXACTLY![/i][/b] It becomes very easy for a Judge to remark, or give '[b]reasons[/b]', for one characteristic or another when justifying his placements for a class of animals during a show or a demonstration, and the handlers and the cattle are stressed, and the spectators are bone-weary and the seats are hard, and the air is hot and sticky, and the sound system is either too loud or not loud enough, and the - and the - and the - - -[b][i][u]BUT[/u][/i][/b] - - - these shows are for more than just the purpose of determining which animal(s) are [i]better[/i] than their contemporaries! The functional objective [b][i]should be[/i][/b] to [b]TEACH[/b] beef producers the necessary details of how to determine quality of individual animals according to the class of cattle for which they are being judged. "...fall apart" does not seem to come under that catagory! Just MHO. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
