[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 220100, member: 1683"] Chuckie- I agree with you to a certain extent that "Tater" is a fair representative of "Funnel Butt-ism", however she does have some redeeming features. She has a straight, level top-line from her poll to her tail, smooth shouldered, a little restricted in her heart girth, could improve in her spring of rib, but a pretty level underline. She is long, smooth with moderate thickness of muscling, indicating femininity, which is what you look for in a brood cow. If she she had muscling resembling that of a bull she would probably have light milk production and possible reproductive problems. She stands on straight legs, good feet and pasterns, a wide- breedy head, sharp poll, smooth tail head, and she is not sickle hocked. I would like to see a heavier round, but she does have a level rump, a little short from her hooks to her pins, and , granted, she is a little shy in the back pockets area. But taking all in all, she is not a bad heifer and bred to a bull with strong, full hindquarters she could have some good calves. Don't give up on her just yet. She could make you a good cow. What kind of EPD's does she have, particularly marbling and rib area? Ugly is as ugly does, and she just might do pretty good. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
