[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1634443, member: 9933"] At one time some semen catalogs scored their bulls for there ability to pass on certain traits. They scored them on Udder attachment, teat size, leg angle, etc. I can't seem to find that any longer. Are there any catalogs out there that still reference phenotype. I see plenty of information on potential carcass quality, but seldom hear things like udders even mentioned. We are told not to select for single traits, and to always keep structure in mind, but it becomes more difficult when all you have are professional photo-shopped pictures and maybe some photos of yearling calves. A video is nice, but most only show a side view and there usually is deep grass or straw. [/QUOTE]
