[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 546667, member: 3739"] Yes. They should also not have that roached-back either, like one pure-bred red angus steer I once had had. Roached-back means they have a real hump in the back when they're standing straight. Like this one: [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF1263a.jpg"]0[/ATTACH] This one is roached-back, sickle-hocked, and overly friendly. He's also got coarse shoulders, a bit pinched in the heart-girth, and he's pretty short in the body cavity. He's feminine-looking 'cause he's a steer, and needs some more groceries on him ( ;-) ) I think that if a cow/bull has withers like a horse does they'd be called coarse shoulder'd and a bit of a no-no in the cattle-selection world. Coarse shoulders can be carried on to the offspring making for some possibly difficult calving. As for their legs, that's a definite yes, they're feet should be well-spaced apart and pointing directly toward the front, not pointing in or pointing out. [/QUOTE]
