[QUOTE="City Guy, post: 1372355, member: 25547"] I have not read Grandin's work on the thin bone theory. Did she compare different breeds or just certain cattle within a breed? Many fine boned breeds are old breeds from mountainous and cold regions of Europe or hot and dry areas of Africa. In most cases they were used as dual or triple purpose animals, which casts doubt on the breed characteristics thought because milking and plowing require a docile attitude. Most of these breeds are 1000's of years old. Plenty of time to change bone size if anyone thought it necessary. [/QUOTE]
