What exactly is meant by the expression "short and solid" in refering to old (beef)cows? I hear the expression at the sale barns but I really don't know what it means Teeth? G

OIC, No wonder the neighor hasn't spoken to me in so long, I never considered that option. I will have to be more careful how I phrase my comments in the future. LOL

Short & soild means her teeth are worn out but none missing yet. She is an old cow.
"spreaders" and "broken mouths" means there are teeth missing.

Yes it does refer to the teeth.

This is how I define it.

Solid means 3 to 8 year old cow.

Short 8 to 12 year old cow.

No teeth 12+ years old.

Others may differ with me.
