They should be alert, bold, strong and more rugged than cows. Cows should show femininity throughout, being more refined than bulls. Cows with “bull or steer” characteristics tend to be of low fertility. a. Desirable Sexual Characteristics: 1. Bulls should have two well-developed testes. Testicular size is positively correlated to quantity of sperm produced. 2. The sheath in bulls should be of moderate size, with a small orifice, with penis at a 45-degree angle and the prepuce retracted.ERICA 3. Cows should have well-developed, well-attached udder with teats the right size for the calf to nurse at birth. M N 4. The vulva of cows should be well developed. Objectionable: A a. 2: Slightly extended prepuce from a moderate sheath. Disqualification: a. 1: Hernia, one testicle or malformed genitalia.

Disqualification:Extremely small cattle for their age. (Extremely large cattle will eliminate themselves through calving difficulties and low reproduction.) d.
