[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1325659, member: 13402"] The Angus breed does have some issues with feet. We have been culling hard for feet for several years. The association is trying to get a handle on the foot issue they now have a foot scoring system in place where they can develop EPD's on feet. It will not be a perfect system, for one in a perfect world everyone turning in data will be 100% honest unfortunately we do not live in a perfect world. The attached link is the pdf of the scoring system that has been adopted by the association: [url=http://www.angus.org/performance/footscore/footscoreposter.pdf]http://www.angus.org/performance/footsc ... poster.pdf[/url] I don't want to say that any line is absolutely safe as far as foot issues, as soon as I do then one will show up with bad feet. The truth is you have to be diligent cull when you find bad feet the only way to solve the issue is to trim their feet right behind the ears. gizmom [/QUOTE]
