This article is simply a list of traits commonly observed in beef cattle. Some traits are ERTs, depending on the marketing strategy of an individual producer. When a trait is not an ERT, it is potentially an indicator trait. Most of the entries in this table have links to a specific article with details about that trait. Also, you are encouraged to see the Selection and Mating section for guidance on using traits

Authors, please feel free to add to this table, even if there is no specific linkable article with more details.
