Teat Size and Udder Suspension Scoring
Quality teat and udder conformation are essential traits in beef production systems for ensuring cow longevity and health, as well as calf survival and growth.
The American Angus Association accepts scores for the traits of teat size and udder suspension to characterize udder conformation.
Members can collect teat and udder scores on females at the time of calving. Females can be scored at each calving event, so multiple scores can be submitted on the same female over the course of her lifetime.
