Name locations where over-conditioned heifers and cows may develop fat deposits.

• A. Rump, Neck, and Flank
• B. Udder, Tail Head, and Brisket
• C. Shoulder, Chest, and Hips
• D. Hooves, Ears, and Back

Answer: (B)

When cattle become over-conditioned, fat tends to accumulate in spots where it’s most visible and easy to deposit under the skin. The udder area, the base of the tail (tail head), and the brisket are common sites for this subcutaneous fat. These areas form a clear signal of excess condition, whereas fat deposition in locations like hooves, ears, back, or widely scattered joints isn’t typical or as noticeable. So, the combination of udder, tail head, and brisket best indicates over-conditioning.
