[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1518436, member: 24816"] I can understand concern for wanting a cleaner sheathed bull. I am certainly not being critical of your response just asking if the leather in front is detrimental in other ways other than eye appeal. I had heard many comments over the years about cleaner fronts being desireable and know that most find the excess leather undesireable. It seems to me that brahman and brahman cross cattle tend to have that and it is relative to them having loose skin which presumably aids in ability to shake off insect pests and heat tolerance. I have also noticed that Gelvieh and their crosses tend to have some leather up front may or may not serve a purpose. Maybe I am wrong, wouldn't be the first time, but I have never been real concerned about selecting bulls that were real clean made as far as dew lap area. Does that make for less feminine looking daughters? [/QUOTE]
