Fescue tolerance. It seems to make or break most cows around here particularly fertility, feet, weight gain on calves, condition going into fall.

1. Calving ease/ birth weights. If you don't have a live calf you lose a year of productivity from that cow. A poor calf is always worth more than a dead calf.
2. Consistency. This may mean something different to everyone but I want to see cows that you know even on a bad year is going to give you a calf that you have some options with.
3. Phenotype. Structurally sound and are not high maintenance.
4. Udder. This is just as important as the previous 2 points. Want females that milk well but also have good teets and not milk too hard that it may affect their ability to breed back.
5. carcass traits. Bottom line is the product you put on the consumer's plate has to taste good.
