[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 979718, member: 12607"] There's a noticeable difference? Not that I can really make out from those photos. Maybe if I could see 'em in the flesh. Tighter is better, in my book, and I've seen breeders make some pretty significant strides in that area since the 1980s. About 1/3 of polled bulls (whether they're Brahman-influenced or not) have an absence or underdevelopment of the retractor prepuce muscles - which can allow for more of the prepuce to 'hang out' of the sheath and potentially be damaged by hooves, thorns, barbed wire, etc. [/QUOTE]
