[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1741377, member: 18945"] The narrow (thin) remark has nothing to do with how wide he is from side to side. It refers to how wide and long (tall) the shoulder muscling is. Hard to tell from a still photo but you can probably see it in a video of him walking and for sure in person as he moves. It looks fairly long (tall) but is narrow. The shoulder clod of muscle will carry about 70-80% of his weight and needs to have width to do it, plus a lack of muscling there will likely pass down & reduce his progeny's (steer's) total muscle mass in the shoulder/chuck area. We all concentrate on the loin area, width and length of rib area, and the rump, but the shoulder is a big part of the yield, and with beef prices upward, people look to the cheaper cuts. Chuck roasts are way cheaper for Mom America to buy than a rib roast. [ATTACH type="full" alt="shoulder.jpg"]15288[/ATTACH] Ass, .. someone must of stole it in the dead of night. At 18 months, he should be very close to 75% his expected mature weight. He doesn't look all that well developed. [/QUOTE]
