How to do Beef- Class Structural Assessments
For docility– 1 is Ideal (Docile), 3 is less ideal (restless) and 5 is aggressive. (Scores of 1 and 2 are preferred).
For traits scored 1-9:
• 4 and 6 show slight variation from ideal but this includes most animals. Any animal scoring 4 and 6 would be acceptable in any breeding program.
•3 and 7 shows greater variation, but would
be acceptable in most commercial breeding programs, but seed stock producers should be wary.
•2 and 8 are low scoring animals and should be looked at closely before purchasing.
•1 and 9 should not be catalogued and are considered culls.
For trouble-shooting please contact Alastair Midgley: PH: (03) 612 6671 MOBILE: 0274 768 036.
