[QUOTE="FungusProudKY31, post: 1692541, member: 40881"] Legs look to be too straight. It's a guess until you see him walk. Can he fill his tracks? Then you know that either the legs are too straight or a quest for extra height or extra length has skewed the whole skeleton. Dr. Bob Long had some good info on this decades ago. A classis + frame height problem is when there is a stiff legged gait and the major movement is from the hip. That became a bugger when everybody was chasing "length". I know of several famed medium to smaller framed bulls that have that rear half step gait but they are "great". But that extra length was a huge advantage at the time. Now we have the swaybacks galore. I wonder why? :unsure: ;) But it takes a "moving picture" to see the truth in legs. Leg problems in bulls in anything other than the best of conditions will shorten the career of the beast. If you chase a fad or a trait it becomes reality: free advice and worth what you paid for it! Or as Larry used to say, "When you change them, you change them". [/QUOTE]
