[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 673195, member: 4353"] I'll bite... I said at two months the calf will give you a good indication of what it will look like at two years. It would be interesting to see this calf again at two years old, I'll be more clear in what I see at this time... I see a calf that is slightly straight and open shouldered, he carries his head low in almost every photo which is usually a good indication of not enough angle in the shoulders. Shoulder and hock angle goes hand in hand so although its not as clear to me as it is to others that this calf is a little straight hocked, he is more likely to be straighter hocked because it shows clearly in the shoulders. He certainly is a little leggy and a later maturing type and I expect him to be very growthy up till yearling age or slightly beyond. To which extent the early signs of structural flaws will express themself over time is anyone's guess. he certainly is well muscled and masculine at an early age whic is never a bad sign [/QUOTE]
