[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 471198, member: 4353"] I actually think that alot of progress has been made in the last few years with regards to the flank issue. The high shallow flanks were very typical in the racehorse era when frame and growth was priority no 1. Bulls from the late eighties and early nineties were much worse than modern bulls in the flank. The straight fronts is very common in the USA and Canadian genetics and is something rarely seen here. I can only assume that the showring is to blame where cattle that are slightly straight in both the shoulder and the hocks stand tall and have more showring presence. Using the hot bull from Denver year after year can easily fix this in your herd without you even noticing untill its too late [/QUOTE]
