[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 639707, member: 1683"] -KNERSIE- Your inference that it is difficult (impossible) to SEE the "Fault" or "Blemish" of an animal being "open shouldered" is well taken. You are right. It is almost impossible in these pictures to "SEE" the condition of "Open Shouldered" structure. One gets in the habit (unfortunately) of observing a situation or condition and expressing an opinion, which may not be literally factual. In the case of this bull, it is a fallacy to say that I can see - "Open Shouldered" - when it is merely "Courseness". Good observation. Nevertheless, I still do not care for the "Phenotypic Appearance" that the bull expresses -IN THESE PICTURES. This is another good example of not judging or analyzing a seedstock bull, or cow, by a "Two Dimensional" image (picture), because, even though a picture is worth a thousand words, some of those words may not be intelligble or interpretable. "Open Shouldered" may mean one thing to one person, and "Courseness" may mean the same thing. It is all in the eye of the beholder! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
