Generally, farmers like to see healthy, vibrant cattle instead of emaciated, sickly animals. In a breeding herd, cattle producers like to have good conformation, good fertility and good body condition in their cattle, as well as high libido in their bulls. They like to have cows that won't eat them out of their house and home i.e. cows that are hard keepers or take more feed to keep their condition than other types or individual cows. For feeder/stocker cattle, producers like to see cattle that efficiently put on weight with the good feed they are given, and don't get too fat too quickly before it is time to slaughter them for the freezer.

Ranchers wanted to use the land to graze their cattle on and make money off of their cattle, whereas the farmers wanted to use that same land to grow their crops.
