Udder conformation, revisited

[legendrockranch]

Recently found this video from the prospective of a beef producer in Nebraska on udder conformation, with real cattle.

I can't find the app he mentions, just a general 1 for market journal but not specific to udder & teat scoring. Would like to check it out if anyone else finds it. Thanks Barb

Thanks Barb. Those look like they are carried over from the Dairy Teat & Udder Score Charts I saw in my Dairy College Courses 20+ years ago. Just shows that the ideal udder for a Beef Animal is the same as for a Dairy Animal. What some call a "beef" udder is a cull under the Beef Industry Standards shown and talked about in the video. Good reference for when someone wants to know what is really a "good" udder on a cow or if it is just a cull cow someone is passing off as a breeder. Too bad newbies can't see this and be able to tell a breeder from a Charlatan.
