Reasons for breeding heifers
Reasons
Official Placing 4-1-3-2
Cuts 3-5-3
OFFICIAL REASONS
I placed this class of Angus yearling heifers, 4-1-3-2. I started with a pair of heifers that are more moderate in their kind. 4 wins the class, as she is the most attractive, most eye appealing and structurally correct female in the class. I place 4 over 1 because she is more feminine and is smoother made with more eye appeal and balance. In addition she is more structurally correct on her front and rear legs. I realize that 1 is wider through her stifle but I criticize her because she lacks the structural correctness, balance and eye appeal of 4.
In my middle pair I placed the moderate framed, heavier muscled 1 over 3. 1 is wider based, higher volume and thicker topped than 3. 1 is also stronger topped with more muscle expression from hooks to pins. She is a leveler designed female that is cleaner through her shoulder and brisket. I understand that 3 is deeper sided but she is also flat ribbed and coarser made so she is third.
Moving to my bottom pair of larger framed heifers, I placed the thicker quartered, wider based 3 heifer over 2. 3 is more muscular through her hindquarter and is wider from stifle to stifle. 3 is also deeper ribbed with more volume and capacity. I realize that 2, the green haltered heifer is a cleaner made more attractive female but she strikes me as shallow made, light muscled and extreme in her make up, so she is last.
