So it doesn’t have to be a level topline, just a solid straight one?

If you want to see a lot of dairy show cows and heifers, go to World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI. The have it about the beginning of October. It's within an hours drive from my house. Pretty cool. Plus lots of vendors.

Good feet/legs

What make the feet/legs good? Bone structure, muscle, foot shape?

Yes, usually if a cow has good/big feet, you will find that they will have a good structure and big bones!

Are there standards that they're judging off of or is it just sort of the general consensus of what is good?
