[QUOTE="Keren, post: 528749, member: 3195"] Oh boy, I hope you are joking. That bull has correct angulation in the hind legs, shown clearly in the new photos. If you are selecting for straighter legs you are heading for trouble. It is under-angulated bulls which break down quicker than over-angulated bulls. Simple physics -- greater angle, greater 'give' for suspension when he is walking, bearing all his bully weight and mounting cows. Knersie is right about a little over-angled is far far better than under-angled. By your own criteria "When the bull or cow is standing square if the back of the hoof is at or ahead of the front of the hock joint they are to crooked "for me". ", this bull has no problems. All nice bulls Jovid, but 1 and 2 just dont compete with 3. Which was the best at the trial? In my experience the best looking ones do average and the scrubby looking ones do the best :lol: [/QUOTE]
