[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 745978, member: 8265"] According to this article, about half of cows have them. I didn't realize that many. Had my daughter go look at a herd of cows from which I'd like to use a bull and many had extras and the people said that's common and no big deal. I guess you can cut them off, but seems like something that ought to be bred out. What do you think?
