[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1838582, member: 24565"] I doubt that frozen ground is the issue on free and proper travel of gait. There are two extremes: bound up animals from improper structure or sometimes it seems to be from excess muscling or being over conditioned. The other extreme is when cattle swing largely from the hip and there is a still leg appearance. Not you but a quote from another post : "So you always want a good or great scrotal number as it reflects on the heifers." If you do a sire search with min HP of 18 and max SC of 0, you get two bulls: Tahoe and Sitz Incentive - both have a lot of use in the breed. (A lot of folks are not paying attention!) With HP min of 18 and SC min of 0, you get 94 bulls. With HP max of 4 and SC min of 0 you get 56 bulls. With HP max of 4 and SC max at 0 you get 17 bulls. I do not see a strong correlation. The old study(s) before HP merely said that a larger SC would have daughters to come into heat a few days earlier. increasing the ration can do the same. [/QUOTE]
