[QUOTE="ArmyDoc, post: 649936, member: 6832"] Ok. I was having a hard time reconciling that they say for good conformation you want a flat top-line, but then very few actually were flat, if they were standing level. I tried looking for "the base line bovine" best I could come up with is something like a water buffallo, and they have have flat toplines. So I started thinking maybe we were sellecting for animals with big butts, and wondered why. Ok, harder question. How much is too much? And at what age should it be flat? (if ever) Or is this a minor consideration in the larger picture? [/QUOTE]
