Northeast Iowa
I pulled both pictures off Google Images. Shrunk one down enough to eliminate the breed sign from that particular show, so as not to offend those breeders.

The breeder I mentioned wasn't talking steers. We were talking cow types, so "finish" didn't play into it. Think of a grizzly bear headed into winter vs. a cheetah. You could bounce a quarter off almost anywhere on the un-soggy cheetah, and you could sink at least a knuckle or two into most areas of the soggy bear. Based on the animals of this breeder I preferred, he said "you like 'em soggy."

Or think about an aerial view if you're looking down at them from the sale barn catwalk. The soggy animals will have wider lines at the mid-section and generally more curves when looking directly down from above. The unsoggy ones will look like the market hog pictures from 30 years ago -- almost a perfect rectangle.
