[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1387288, member: 24016"] Craig, what part of my post are you wondering about? If it is in regard to the fore rib issue, the depth of fore rib is a measure of capacity. It should be proportionate to the rest of the measures of the animal, and also grow with the rest of the animal. In my experience, a pencil gutted bull will produce daughters that are the same, and that doesn't work for me. As far as work for a yearling bull, about 15 head for a well cared for yearling is what I would consider max. I think that the OP's bull didn't have the right phenotype to start with, and hasn't had it easy since then. He may be able to get some bloom back on him, but one can't expect drastic changes in his actual phenotype at that age. [/QUOTE]
