Cricket, I photo shopped a pic of my Sally (part holstein) to show just how a dairy cow in good condition and weight looks. You can still see her side ribs, hip and pins bones. Compared to a beef cow, she looks extremely thin, she not thin at all. I circled the short ribs, you can see it's a single shelf, for lack of a better word. If she were getting underweight, I would be able to count them. If she was getting really thin they would be protruding individually.
