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.
