the truth said:
when i am judging, there are plenty of things to look at before the brisket.. if they don't have the other peices, it doesn't matter if the brisket is the size of an aligator, or as clean as a whistle.
Great point! I have a donor who is a tank! If I was going to change anything about her I would say she is a little bit heavy fronted, but I like everything she puts together from her brisket back, so I don't dock her on it and her calves get better and better.
Best of luck on your Simmental show heifer. My first show heifer was a Simmental because my neighbor raised them, I have had Simmental cattle every since.
