Visual appraisal is still essential for selecting bulls

         Ÿ MASCULINE TRAITS - A strong head, jaw and thick neck indicate high levels of
        libido, testosterone and reproductive efficiency.
         Ÿ NECK LENGTH - A thick necked animal matures and reaches puberty earlier and
        has more libido. A longer neck indicates a higher maintenance animal that is
        slower to reach puberty and rebreed.
         Ÿ HEART GIRTH - larger heart girth is an indicator of vigor and easy keeping ability.
        Small heart girth animals are more susceptible to stress, are higher maintenance
        and do not perform well.

         Ÿ STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS - Feet and bone - Hill country cattle often cover large
        distances over rugged terrain so a strong skeleton is essential.
         Ÿ REPRODUCTIVE -  A tight sheath, good sized and shaped testicles are essential.

         Ÿ FLANK - Deep flanked animals are easier keeping, have more meat in the rump
        and have more maternal and reproductive efficiency. NOTE: Higher flanked
        animals tend to be higher maintenance and take longer to finish on grass.
