[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 986603, member: 4353"] The length of hip plays a big role in determining the leg structure, udder attachments and ease of calving (the longer the easier) The angle should be a [b]slight[/b] slope from hooks to pins, to make cleaning out easier and to prevent puddling of urine that causes, metritis, etc. For calving ease a slight slope is prefered, tilted up hips will make birth more difficult. Too much slope and you'll always lose length of rump and they tend to walk under themselves. [/QUOTE]
