Evaluating Degree of Muscling To determine degree of muscling, evaluate the following: 1. Thickness through the center of the quarter when viewed from the rear 2. Width between rear feet when the heifer walks or stands 3. Shape over the top Evaluating Degree of Muscling Light Muscled Average Muscled Heavy Muscled Very narrow Average width Good width Evaluating Degree of Muscling Great top shape (heavy muscled) Evaluating Femininity When evaluating femininity in heifers, attention should be given to: 1. Refinement of head 2. Length of the neck 3. Angularity of the neck and shoulder 4. Blending of the shoulder to the forerib Evaluating Femininity Coarse head Too thick through neck and shoulder Not feminine Is it a heifer or a steer?
