[QUOTE="simme, post: 1825175, member: 40418"] Brangus that don't look like Brangus. I have noticed the same thing with some Simbrahs in the last 10 years or so. Less skin, cleaner looking, less sheath and navel. Pedigrees that still show the same breed composition. I assume this is by selection. Select animals that "look" to have less ear. I wonder if they are giving up the advantages of ear cattle by those selections. I always thought that the loose skin and big ears were part of the ability to tolerate heat and insects. Do these "new style" ear cattle retain the advantages? [/QUOTE]
