 In this video, we will be going over the general dairy cattle terminology to help you get a basic understanding of the parts of a dairy cow, as well as the PDCA scorecard. This scorecard will be a guideline for judging the dairy cow. We will be using the scorecard to assign points and designate the importance of traits for the dairy cow to be judged properly. In this slide, we can see the parts of a dairy cow and where they are located on the cow's body. Feel free to pause the video and try to memorize where each part is located on the cow. In the next two slides, you will have the opportunity to test your knowledge on the location of each part. Here we can see the breakdown of points that are allocated to different characteristics of a dairy cow. The higher the points, the more emphasis is put on that particular trait. If we look at the PDCA scorecard, we can see that the most important trait on the dairy cow is her udder at 40 points. Then we look at the dairy strength, which has 25 points, moving on to rear feet and legs having 20 points, and finally frame with 15 points. All of these traits are important when judging a dairy cattle class. By looking at each section of the PDCA scorecard and applying the information to each cow in the class, we will be able to place the class in the proper order. Thank you for watching.
