We have a country paper and they always have articles about individual farms/operations.
There is an article about Heritage grass-fed Devon cattle.
The guy refers to a measurement that he follows:
"Bulls should be a minimum of five inches wider across the shoulder than the length of the rump"
Anyone heard of this before? I am not familiar with comparing the measurement of shoulder width & rump length??
Personally, I don't want any bull or cow with wide shoulders, so I don't know where this is taking him.
