Yes, I agree that the video is suspect, and I noticed the misspellings, etc as well... and not a whole lot of cows were shown.
I would just expect that after 100 years of breeding, you'd have gotten past just selecting the barebones functional traits and make steps toward improving the looks as well. If the herd is indeed as linebred as it sound like, I would expect all the cows to be very similar to what was shown.
I have lots of cows I'm not proud of, and some downright ugly ones, but I'm not at the point where I can cull everything I don't like... I'm on my 25th calving season, I expect it to be at least another 15 before I can really show the entire herd and not have to hide a bunch of them
Here's one of my uglies.. she's going on the trailer in a month https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mhECCMxi1w
Her daughters are really good and actually have great udders with much better temperaments than that old witch.
This one seems more proud of her udder than I am
Her daughter is about to calve, she's looking like she'll be much better
