[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1795912, member: 24816"] I’m not denying the existence of rat tails at all, I do believe they are out there. Im just saying that it isn’t something that I have seen or if I have seen it I didn’t recognize it. It’s not something that my fellow Charolais breeders or customers mentioned. I have not personally retained very many Angus Charolais cross females snd it’s been 25 years since I had Charolais influenced cows in my herd so I don’t have a lot to compare to. I have bought a few Char cross feeders over the years and same story didn’t see anything that I would say was a rat tail. Only one that comes to mind is a mouse colored ( that’s what we used to call Smokey’s) heifer I bought as a small calf to put on a cow. her hair coat was typical as far as I know, but did have a fairly short tail without much switch. It had hair on it and wasn’t missing any. For what it’s worth I’ve seen several angus with short tails and odd looking switches but I realize that’s not the same thing, I just figured that heifer calf took after the Angus and had a shorter tail. She grew great and made a real nice cow. I would like to see some examples of rat tail cattle. [/QUOTE]
