[QUOTE="1848, post: 342505, member: 1303"] This has been dicussed before. Y'all know my feelings. IMO.....it's ludicris! Using the excuse that a calf will mistake them and subsequently be weak from lack of nutrition is absolutely ridiculous. Either a calf is strong enough to work the teats or it is not....If it is not, the teats won't matter. If it is a matter of phenotype selection, then why are we fooling people in the show ring, or with our breed stock and making them believe one animal is more phenotypically correct then another? You either breed it out genetically, or you accept it. :roll: This is another fine example in the difference of show cattle vs, breed cattle and why some of the genetic bases have gotten into the shape their in. Just keep hiding it in the show ring...don't diclose it.....get the picture thats sells the offspring...(stating it's the best out there)....get your dollar...and move on. :o [/QUOTE]
