Traits of a perfect show animal

how would you discribe the perfect show steer/heifer

non existant

these are mine, and mine alone.

they would be in the condition for that time of year for whatever they were doing with minor cosmetic upgrades.  they wouldn't be artificially overfed so that they represented a breeding/working animal.  of course i can be fooled by excellent fit jobs and am a sucker for fat.  oh well.

im not asking if there is perfect show animals just what qualities make up the greats

when judging, i look for...... Got to be full, maybe not overly full, but gotta have the rear flank, big top is also very important, they need to be thick, but in proportion with the rest of them, big boned, with the heavy muscle and big bone, they gotta be sound...prob my biggest pet peeve...and as i was once told and used several times, if there is two animals very similar in type, pick the one you would want to take a picture with. So, saying that, pretty profiling through the front end~ but i think, every mans, women's, judges eye is different, but that's what I look for.
