[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 649705, member: 4353"] Setting an animal up with his front feet SLIGHTLY higher than the rear will hide small topline flaws and make the animal look longer. The reason so many young bulls looks like they are walking downhill with their rear higher than the front is because we selected for more growth and later maturing cattle the last 30 years. The high rear end is simply an indication that the animal is still growing and hasn't matured yet, (within limits). A very high rear end will just about always go hand in hand with a long cannon bone. [/QUOTE]
