    ? For the experts.

    It is very interesting and quite eye opening that it is from so far back in time. Most people . in my experience, actually prefer "matters of opinion" because in them there is no proving you wrong.

    ? For the experts.

    To me the crucial line is #4 - % varies very little. There are so many traits we can concentrate on that are far more important than bone which is largely subjective. What is medium to light bone for one man could be medium to heavy to another and there is no way to say either are wrong.

    calves coming backwards
