[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 638251, member: 1683"] 200 or 500 additional pounds won't change his lack of musculinity, poor feet, cow-hockedness, or sickle-hockedness - only make them appear worse. Additional lbs, would make him appear burly shouldered, but still weak hindquarters. If he indicated deeper rounds it would only be fat in the hock area, and not real meaty musculature. He would manifest even MORE sloping pasterns, and his lack of bone size would be manifest. Funnel Butt is Funnel Butt! :nod: He is what he is. I am not trying to be argumentive here. mncattle asked what we thought of him. That is what I think of him. It seems to me that on most of these posts where a rancher inquires what the members of the Forum think of their cattle, most posters try to avoid making honest comments for fear of hurting the feelings of the owners. I am trying to point out reality. If the truth hurts, it is better than have their pocketbook hurt! No animal is perfect, and it is better to point out the faults than to go through life not knowing fact from fantasy! This is a business- not a game! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
