[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 955361, member: 18682"] Think you are right, but not everyone likes deep bodied cattle. I think you will find people who like deep bodied cattle ( capacity ) especially in the dairy cattle, as they have to have the ability to eat a mountian of feed to produce a whole "whack" of milk, and have room to carry a calf on top of everything. Now there are some cattle who have a "pot belly" instead of capacity and it is frowned on in the show circles, as it doesn't look nice and indicates low muscle tone (and usually a big appetite)!. Pesonally I like a deeper bodied animal both in beef and dairy, as it often seems ( but not always,- but in general) the deeper bodied animals tend to have a deeper more muscled "twist" also, in the rear end, in beef cattle, than "shotgun" bodied cattle. That said, the trend in this area in the Limo breed seems to be towards the "shotgun" bodies, with the double muscled rear end. To each his own I guess... Nite Hawk [/QUOTE]
