Why so much emphasis on the rump?

[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1516042, member: 22295"] I like them flat and wide across the top and carry their thickness out to the pins. I was looking at a pic of a heifer at the recent Jr Hereford National show. She had a teepee top and a V taper from the hooks to the pins. Not sure how she placed but in my view she lacked what I desire. Another thing I've found if they have some natural thickness throughout they tend to be structurally sound. I recently looked at a top AI sire in the Hereford breed that was a champion and his hind legs touched when he stood still and rubbed as he walked. Not what I prefer. When you sell the calf as a weaner or a feeder you get paid for all of the weight the same. So what the hindquarters weigh bring money also. [/QUOTE]
