[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1835763, member: 637"] I wanted to add that when you see a bull or a cow that stands stretched out like that where it wants to stand like a walking horse, avoid that animal. It means that its thurls are not midway between the pins and hooks. It means that her thurls are more than halfway back, and it will not allow him to get his rear legs up underneath him. This is a great weakness for a bull. There is a dairy video if I can find it that describes this perfectly but it is in a Dairy class, but still, it as important in a breeding bull that you want to make your calves better than the cows they come from. I will see if I can find it and mark the spot where she speaks of this fault and why. All of this is very interesting and important to your herd. [/QUOTE]
