In selecting a calf, first get an idea of its general appearance by looking lt over carefully at a distance of 10 or 15 feet. When viewed from the front lt should have a short face, large muzzle, wide forehead, short neck, and a wide, deep chest. Indicating a strong, vigorous constitution. When looked at from the side, its hack should he straight and level from the lop of the shoulders to the tall. It should have a deep body and smooth, long hind quarters. When viewed from the rear, lt should present a wide deep appear ance. While as much width ns pos sible ls desired, lt should not he ac companied with roughness about the shoulders und the hips or hocks. The legs should be rather short, stout, and set wide apart. Indications of Quality. Quality may be determined by the eye of the experienced judge, but the band may also be used In determining the "condition" or "quality" which has reference to the flesh or fat. The beef calf should have deep natural flesh but should not be excessively fat or coarse. The flesh should he smooth and firm, but not hard along the hack, sides, and over the Shoulders. All the following Indicate quality: A thick coat of hair that feels soft and silky and looks glossy; n loose, pliable skin that does not seem thick, rough, or tightly stretched over the body, and rather short lees that ap pear to have strong, clean bones with out roughness or coarseness.
