[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 211251, member: 1683"] AngusLimoX- I have no desire to "jump on you", because I understand that pictures can distort the true image that a subject presents. There is a fine line of demarcation between [b]masculinity[/b] and [b]beefiness[/b], or 'beef type'. This cow is not being presented in the most optimal manner because she has a pretty good sized calf nursing her, thereby covering her true depth of body, the status of her udder, the length of leg, and the hindquarters that she genetically possesses. She has had virtually NO flesh-building nutrition or forage, she has a lusty calf that she seems to be doing a great job of raising, she appears docil and calm-submissive, and in spite of what mtnman thinks, IMO she does not look like a steer! I think that most breeders would be pretty pleased to have 50 cows exactly like this one raising calves which looked exactly like this calf looks in their front pasture. Take this calf off of her at weaning, put her on a good pasture of Lespedeza, Orchard Grass, gamagrass or any good pasture mix compatible with the geographical area where you operate, and you will see a cow that will bug your eyes out! I haven't read this cow's EPD's yet, but phonetically she is no "Funnel-Butt" and her calf will not genetically be a funnel-butt either. A cow doing a good job of raising a healthy calf will drop 1.5 - 2.00 Conditioning scores in the period of 6-7 months nursing that calf. You have to be aware of reality.
