In the beef form, the outline of the body approaches the rectangular. The general contour of the top and bottom lines is straight and parallel, and the general dimensions of the body approximate those of a brick; that is, length twice the depth, and depth twice the thickness. In the dairy type the general outline of the body is " wedge-shaped from before backward"; that is, the general contour of the top and bot- tom lines diverges from the front toward the rear. This is brought about. The dairy type by a relatively large development of the hind quarters and sometimes by relatively low and thin shoulders. The height of the animal at the hips is one half to one and one half inches greater than at the shoulders. The wedge-shaped appearance is increased by a large and pendulous and by a large and well-developed udder. In the best beef animal, even when not fully fattened, the whole body is thickly and smoothly covered with flesh (muscle) so that the angles of the bones are nowhere prominent. This is seen particularly over the upper part of the ribs immediately back of the shoulder, on the loins, in the thighs, and on the shoulder.
