He's a little short he could use some length on him. But he has a good tight sheath for a BM.
I look at him sometimes and think the same thing. Then, on nights like tonight, I look and don't really have a problem with his length at all. I tried to snap a quick photo, but the sun was retiring for the night… (He's 14 months old now)
Okay my friends! I think that here is an opportunity for a little thought provoking 'handbook' discussion on
perpective perception in the observation of pictures! Improper perception is very often deceptive. What one sees, or
thinks they see is often
not what they get,- or think they get! Case in point here: Look
very carefully at this bulls picture. "Perspective Observation" is the art of picturing objects or a scene in such a way by converging lines (which is
linear perspective), as to show them as they appear to the eye with reference to relative distance, or in this bull's case, length of his body. If you will observe the way the bull is holding his head, he is looking to his right (the same side that we are observing), and in so doing the point of his right shoulder is effaced from the surface of his body. In other words, you can't see the point of his shoulder, therefore it appears to the eye that his body is
longer than it really is! Deception! That is why it is not wise to make selection decisions on pictures
ALONE!
(But - he is a good looking bull - phenotypically - anyhow)!
