[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 554509, member: 5362"] Well first I guess I'll talk about Harlands top line. What I think most people see here is the effect and not the cause. What he has is a high tail set [this is not to good] coupled with a very strong, high neck attachment [this is good], if you take that high tail set away then picture my bull with his head raised like Harland's you would see about the same top line. Yes the high tail set is a disadvantage. The stronger neck/head that Harland has compared to my bull is to his advantage, although my bull is still young [around 16 months old] I hope is neck will muscle up a little more as he gets older. I would have to say that my bull probably has the bigger rear end, but I still like the shape and length, the way it carries down in to the rear leg on Harland, he just doesn't have as much of it as my bull. My bull may have a little more rib than Harland, but Harland carries just a tad more depth through to his flanks. My bull as the cleaner front end, Harland as a cleaner sheath. I could nit pick some more, legs etc. but I got other post to answer :) and I really don't like picking on other folks livestock as it normally comes back to bite me one way or another. Neither bulls perfect by along shot, but I do think this bull will be good to compare calves with. And hopefully both of them outbreed them selfs. [/QUOTE]
