I have been reading about bull structure and this comes up alot.
So how much do you value this trait or do you even bother with the gait and feet placement as a judge in a good bull for structural soundness ?
I have one bull calf this year that we are retaining whose gait is dead on , each step he moves into the previous foot print the other 3 are about 1-2 inches off.

Look for a free-moving gait, with the hind feet stepping into the footprints of the front feet (see Figure 6 right). Overstepping or understepping are indications of structural problems, as are uneven footprints from the claws
