Duplolas 1 Posted February 29, 2012 How do you judge livestock? I really want to know because im doing a report on fast food in one of my classes and was just curious to see how the rating system went if their actually was one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nivek_Relyk 1 Posted February 29, 2012 the rating system we go off of is really how good the animal looks (ex.) for a breeding heifer you would want a heifer(female cow) with wider hips a bit on the heavier side who has some masclanity, With a market steer(male cow) who could be sold for meat, generally your looking for muscalarity, not so much fat but a little, and no abnormalitities with the cow. Goats, i dont know how to judge them besides muscularity and no fat. Pigs you want muscularity, not a lot of fat but you dont want their hindquarters to be too bid and they still need some fat. thats just a general overveiw but im not going to go in depth of what EXACTLY to look for in each catagory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
