[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 547275, member: 1683"] Not having an image or three to visualize, it is virtually impossible to ascertain the phenotype of the bull. Please show us three pictures taken from two feet above hard, level ground - side view 90 degrees with lens aimed just behind the shoulder, rear view with lens aimed directly between hocks, and front view aimed directly at his lower jaw. You mentioned that his ears had been frost bitten. Appearance is EVERYTHING, and in spite of the fact that experienced breeders are well aware that damaged ears themselves have no bearing on the genetic inheritance factors bred into progeny, they still cannot avoid cassting a wary eye at physical structures that are "[i]different[/i]! For the same reasons that people cannot prevent being "looky-loos" as they pass an automobile accident on a highway, they look with suspicion at frozen ears! I feel that, right or wrong, that is probably the primary reason that you have had a difficult time selling the bull. ...and that is a shame. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
