[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1294251, member: 23321"] Awesome, just what I was after. And seems I was on to something all along. What I do find interesting is they are saying these giraffe necked bulls have quite a few poor qualities, listed here: Short necks are a good indicator of libido and high testosterone. The cervical vertebrates have a tendency to curve up, making the neck shorter. Short necks indicate a larger scrotal therefore a higher level of hormones. Short necks indicate wider shoulders (mail characteristics). Bulls with a neck longer than a –2 inches at 12 months lack male hormones, resulting in late maturing daughters, reaching puberty later in life and tend to be slow breeders. Long necks are structural defects, no genetic progress can be made with these bulls. They will be high maintenance bulls. Bulls with long necks have a smaller scrotum. Bulls with shorter necks sire daughters with wider rumps. Bulls with short necks sire daughters that mature early. But some of the 'hot bulls' have this type of neck, then they try and get them posed up like a draught horse with head held high and standing tall and straight - and to me they just don't look right.
