[QUOTE="Keren, post: 657422, member: 3195"] Going on my experience with the goats, an undershot (lower jaw too short) goat does more poorly than an overshot (lower jaw too long) animal. But I dont know if its the same deal with cattle. I'm also finding that in a lot of cases overbites in goats can be corrected with a proper mineral program, and a bit of time to grow out of it. Weird. I never thought it would happen. But I put a heap of kids (almost 1/3 of the doe kid crop) into the cull paddock for overbites at weaning, realised I'd not given anyone minerals for a long time, put minerals out for everyone including the culls, and do you know there is not one single overbite in those little does. In contrast the underbites we've had dont seem to respond to mineral treatment. [/QUOTE]
