Is there a consensus as to frame score for the show aspect of the cattle business?  My personal preference is a frame score 4 1250 lb. cow.  But I am not club calf, I am a grass finished beef producer.

Good hopefully they will contribute in the future.  Thank you.

Is there someone that will take the reins and continue the program?

So do I understand that the definition of show cattle is non functional?

I probably don't count because I produce grass finished beef instead of commodity beef.  I am not using show winning genetics as my goal is a frame score 4 1250 pound cow.  I have some interesting young bulls from the Sparkle cows.  Any way I am using a DMH Minnesota Max son out of an Albaugh...

What I notice first is from hooks to pins looks much different than many cattle today.

Do you have any indication of tenderness?  In my opinion it is the most important carcass trait.  Nice looking animals.

Feminine is not what came to mind when I saw that head.  Ribbons would explain a lot.  Ribbons have led cattle all over the place from good useful cattle 100 years ago to the belt buckle cattle to cattle that the Denver Champion were so big you could only see the top of the hat on six foot four...
