[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1559972, member: 27490"] Form and function is most commonly the influence of inheritance. You cannot rule out other influences such as disease, environment or developmental anomalies. I suspect the heifer is expressing a condition in the genome that is rarely expressed. When we observe the phenotype, we only see the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the hide is a wide range of possibilities just waiting for the right combination of genetic factors for those possibilities to be expressed. The probability for the combination that produced Derby's 132 square centimeters may be only 1 in a 100 births with those parents. [/QUOTE]
