[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 122207, member: 2306"] I would have to agree on the shape and structure theories. We've had trouble with 80lb. Angus calves b/c of blocky heads, and we've had 80lb Gelbvieh calves get hip-locked to the point where we had to roll the cow on her back to pop the bugger out. And Jeanne, I agree 100% that there is more variance within breeds than between. I also believe it is a damn shame that our Breed Associations don't regulate that variance somehow. When a breeder is throwing out crap that hurts the breed, their papers should be pulled on that animal. Like Angus bulls consistently throwing 120lb calves causing C-sections and grief. Things that are out of the normal extremes for a breeds traits. When you can get every shape, size, and color in one breed, somethin's wrong. It wasn't meant to be like that. [/QUOTE]
