| | This article is a list of traits commonly observed in beef cattle. Some traits are economically relevant traits ([[Economically Relevant Traits | ERTs]]), directly affecting costs and income realized by an individual producer. Depending on marketing strategy, the same trait may be highly relevant, largely irrelevant, or an [[Indicator Traits | indicator]] of an ERT. 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 [[:Category:Selection_and_Mating | Selection and Mating]] section for guidance on using traits. |
| This article is simply a list of traits commonly observed in beef cattle. Some traits are [[Economically Relevant Traits | ERTs]], depending on the [[Marketing | marketing]] strategy of an individual producer. When a trait is not an ERT, it is potentially an [[Indicator Traits | 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. | |
