[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1254468, member: 13402"] Ok yall are going to have to remember this bull was 20 years ago and I have slept once or twice since then lol. Some of the comments on here are dead on (as best as I can remember) He had a lot of leather that made him look bigger in the front end than he actually was. I don't mind some slope from hooks to pins for the exact reason stated, a cow will calve easier and clean out after calving better with a little slope. I know show ring doesn't like it but my thoughts on that would be another entire thread lol. We don't have any of this bulls progeny left in the herd, the bull was choppy when he walked. To be honest I was surprised we didn't have any of his genetics left in the herd but I went through all of the pedigrees and notta. At the time we purchased this bull I had still not figured out the genetic part of the equation, so we didn't have the consistency in our calves we were trying to achieve. Heck I am still tweaking, the quest for the perfect bull continues!
