Case closed; the prosecution drops charges as dna tests show that Dream On is not even really the calf's sire..it was the notorious BA bull, Werner War Party..inyati13":3fhkveti said:Lazy M":3fhkveti said:Fair point I suppose. Although in court I'd display the red bar graphic and use the pic that you took of your calf as corroborating evidence to my above statement..inyati13":3fhkveti said:Are you referring to the red bar graphic with a value -2 to +2?
I think the graphic is intended to depict the relationship of one trait to another trait in an animal. For Dream On, it depicts that the rear legs are his most undesirable trait. For rear legs, Dream On is assessed a score of -1.4. That is not the same as saying "Dream On is known for poor rear leg structure".
There is a previous comment that Dream On has a reputation for poor rear leg structure. The question is can someone provide a documented credible statement that Dream On has poor rear leg structure. Otherwise, it is commentary. Just like what you hear on the major news networks. In court, you call it "hearsay".
As the defense attorney for my client Dream On, I would state that the red bar chart is not a comparison of my client to other bulls but a depiction of the relative strengths of his traits. In regard to the calf, I would say the father cannot be tried for a crime committed by the son.
