[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 380853, member: 1683"] I feel certain that this bull is, in fact, an Aubrac (pronounced "Oh - Brack") bull. If you will look back to the original picture in this thread, - if the bull were turned around 180 degrees, and standing with his front feet where his rear feet are originally, his weight would be slightly shifted toward his hindquarters, his topline would be a little more level, and his scrotum would be lower than it is in the picture. Facing "downhill", as it were, causes the Cremaster Muscle to contract, thereby retracting the Testicles upward toward the body cavity. Also note that the people around the area are wearing jackets, sweaters, and lab coats, indicating that the ambient temperature is at least chilly - which is also a reason for the scrotum appearing constricted-seeking warmth - it is a part of the Thermo-Regulatory system which keeps the Spermatozoa at a viable temperature thereby keep them motile. These examples are another justification for being aware of minor "details" in seedstock selection protocols, and determining which selection decisions are really important, and which one's are merely interesting to know, and not critical in the final dispensation of seedstock selection.
