[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1524136, member: 24565"] No way you can judge REA on a profile and I'm not sure it can be judged in any other view without ultrasound. You are forced to look at other muscles, as in the front leg to have an idea of thin or thick muscled but that does not always work. Never heard of a "generic bloodline", either. Not sure why you'd want him to look like a gutty calf as depth of body is OK. Not too sure that "short body" and "long legs" is more than an illusion. I'd rather have proper feet, flat back and good rear leg angles than the shifting or hip angles and other bones to get a long look and a swayback nag look. Dr. Robert Long at CSU developed that issue into some good research years ago. If folks would study a bit the Angus breed would walk and stand normal with a good topline for a longer useful life. Pedigree is "modern". You'll need to find somebody who seeks that to know the issues of those lines. [/QUOTE]
