[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 985204, member: 4353"] I doubt there will be much change in the hip length as she matures. Apart from the obvious difference in read meat yield, higher dressing percentage, there is also an increase in the % prime cuts (the rump is a prime cut, but very few people really know where to look to see its size and is often confused with the round, which is just a roast) Probably even more significant it indicates endocrine balance and a sound structure, the oldtimers often referred to the dairy triangle as the breeding chamber and in this case the bigger the better. ABrauny - Yes I believe its an indication of muscle type, shorter hips are often associated with a harder drier type muscle, where we really want a longer, softer higher yielding type muscle in British breeds. In the end it all boils down to keeping everything in balance and the rest will take care of itself. [/QUOTE]
