[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1344891, member: 24016"] True to some extent in this case. I think that many show cattle take the ideal slope too far, but for the most part, many are right on point. It is not just about that angle exclusively, that angle will have a direct impact on how the hocks hang and how strong they are over the loin. Both of those things are very important to commercial cattleman. Skeletal design is all lines and angles. If you draw a stick figure of a horse, cow, dog, ect. that is all lines and circles for joints, it is easy to see how they all should lay out/line up. I honestly have found looking at old horse encyclopedias a good way to learn how the skeleton on four legs functions. Yes, there some very specific differences between cloven hooved animals and equines, but I have yet to find a cattle encyclopedia that lays it out as well as those old European horse books. :2cents: [/QUOTE]
