[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 372518, member: 1683"] ALACOWMAN-Chuckie - This somewhat recently typical beef cattle trait is called "Funnelbutt". This is a fine bull, and being a doublebred Bon View Bando 598, he should mature into a fine herd producer! I would suggest that you NOT breed him to cows with a Milk EPD any higher than what his is - +28. Breeding him to cows with higher Milk EPD's insidiously encourages his progeny to have minimal muscle development in the hindquarters; milk EPD's generally are just fine at +25 and no higher. The same thing goes for BW over breed averages (2.5). All other traits can be just fine, and higher milk, and negatgive BW EPD's sound [i]wonderful![/i], but it results in lost muscle development, and funnel butts! This guy is just fine. Choose his girl friends carefully! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
