[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 548248, member: 3739"] Aahh yes that black angus cow (she's actually a range cow on the Kinsella Ranch by Viking, Alberta): [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF1465a.jpg"]1[/ATTACH] I wouldn't call it a dip, its more of a hump...she's thin too because she's a range cow raising a 4 month old soggy calf (cant see it in this pic). I honestly can't tell you if it is with a lack of weight, although I doubt it because the conformation faults that we should most commonly look for is in the bone structure. Amount of weight has a thing contributing to conformation too, as you can see in the bulls being posted lately on the Breeds board. And BTW, she's not exactly in a "paddock", she's walking beside a fenceline of a 100+ acre pasture on a ranch partly owned by the U of Alberta. I know your going to ask what a soggy calf is so here's what a "soggy" calf means: [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF1534a.JPG"]0[/ATTACH] In words, it means a calf that has gained sufficient weight to look like this when weaned from its momma (I get that right, dun?)
