[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 959389, member: 17248"] Put me down as Chianina not having udder problems. Not enough udder there to have a problem with. I would say they have the smallest udder on any cow I have ever dealt with. The udder is functional but is high and tight and there fore not allot of room for anything to go wrong if anything they are an udder fixer. I had fullblood and high percentage bulls I think the problem was 1. The cattle do not marble like other cows and cattle men are not very innovative if they feed some calves to a certain amount of back fat before they slaughter they try the same thing with high % Chi and to get that 2 inch of back fat no telling what it may end up weighing at slaughter. I had a fullblood bull that weighed 3100 lbs and had muscles in his stomach. Literally a bull with a six pack. 2. There were some Fullbloods that definitely ran hot temperment wise. Then there were some I could as a not so smart young guy grab a full grown bull by the horns and he would pretend he couldn't pull away from me and I could pet and I could take my belt off and wrap it around the bulls neck to show how you could not fasten the belt because of how thick its neck was. But the guy I would buy from brought in 1 bull that kept him trapped on the roof of an aluminum top barn for hours in Alabama in July until his wife and kid could come home and run the bull out of the pen. He quickly changed to another breed. 3. The ACA has to be hands down the most incompetant breed organization ever assembled. If they wanted to branch off into Chiangus which I think is where the breed had to go to meet the demands of people they should have set a 3/8 and 5/8 criteria and concentrated on the Fullbloods to provide the breeding up stock to get to that level.
