Tanholm Rating System

Quality

Before we quality rate our cattle they first must meet a strict criteria based on their temperament, breed characteristics and structural soundness. If they do not meet this criteria they are culled.

Once past this first assessment, we then rate them on quality and give each animal a star rating out of 5.

&
Normally not rated good enough for breeding.

Good
For an animal to be rated good it must have a reasonable growth for age and also display good balance throughout.

Very Good
For an animal to be rated very good it must have an even better weight for age. Display excellent conformation and be extremely balanced throughout.

Exceptional
The rarest and most distinguished rating is for animals that in our opinion exhibit outstanding qualities of the breed. The best of the best!
