[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 1019407, member: 4353"] He is very coarse shouldered. Look at his front feet, it toes out to a ten to two position, making him very prominent at the point of shoulder. When it comes to calving it means the point of shoulder of the calf will tend to get caught on the pelvic rim. If his calves are small enough and the cows' pelvic openings big enough it might not cause any problems at all, but just about every bull will have an outlier or two as far as birthweight goes and those calvings might get interesting.... I agree he is not for heifers and he is not for breeding replacements, but the breed (if you can call a black limousin a breed) was never meant to be cowmakers either. He should do a decent job as a terminal sire, but be aware of what might lie ahead. Highgrit, a bul'ls shoulders should always be wider than his hips, the opposite applies for a cow, but I agree the shoulders should be neatly laid in with a strong neck shoulder and shoulder rib attachment.
