Phenotype

[redcowsrule33]

In several breeds I have been seeing a trend of poor top lines and high tail heads. I was shocked to see this girl’s video on a breed sale. I cropped a screenshot to protect the owner as I respect their program but we can’t be blind to structural faults. The were a few bulls that were similar. I don’t understand.

What makes it even worse is that in sales catalogs they will "touch-up" the photo to hide the flaw or make it seem not as bad.

It’s the modern phenotype. It’s been trending that way for awhile. The picture posted is of the more extreme example. Likely why she is for sale.

One of the big problems with brown Swiss was that they had a high tailhead and lots of infections.
I think your right, cause I've seen it on a lot of bulls lately.
