Cattle judging
(Redirected from Prize bull)
Cattle judging is the process of judging a series of cattle and pronouncing a first-, second- and third-place animal based on each animal's individual traits compared to that of the others. Most cattle judging occurs in show rings at agricultural shows and livestock shows.[1]
Judgments on cattle are ultimately based on which animal is worth the most profit.[2][page needed]
There are many fine points to cattle judging. In a beef animal, for example, it is desirable to have a large animal with muscle development.[2][page needed]
