[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 919974, member: 14282"] Ah heck Alacowman, suppose to look like? Suppose to look like went out the window with breed standards a long time ago. Don't know if that is good or bad. No shortage of types to choose from, that is for sure, seems to me from a breed standpoint to be more like genetic disorder. The type bell curve gets wider by the day, it may be that breed type diversity is good, or it may as well be at this point. Like you say there was a day when breeds were identifiable by type in addition to color, but heck things have a way of changing. Breeders you can make them look however they like, and if they prove functional for the chosen application then Hooray!! :) Here is a cow that is working here so far, in all her imperfect glory, and she is an Angus cow. Would you have guessed it? Her type is my personal prefernce for a maternal range cow application, under my management, in my environment. My goal is to make more of her functional type, more often and more consistently. Give me another 20 years or so and I may have a more or less stabilized type with some degree of genetic order. :) [img]http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa392/mkeeney1/ll2.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
