[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1799583, member: 12607"] On the 'sheath'... he's a polled bull...they have more issues with 'their junk hanging out'. Along with the polled gene comes a heritable hypoplasia of or total absence of the retractor prepuce and protractor prepuce muscles... the muscles that keep his prepuce pulled up inside his sheath, and control the sphincter that keeps the opening 'closed' are absent or significantly reduced. Did a double-take on the dam photo... looked just like a cow we raised here some years back; I like her look. Looking back through the pedigree, there are several sires that we used here at one time or another. EPDs are a tool, and don't always tell the full story, especially on a bull with low accuracy... but there's nothing in his epd profile that would have enticed me to give him a second look. Guarantee you that his bottom end of breed for most categories would have had my wife giving him two thumbs down. Hope he works for you. [/QUOTE]
