yeah, i would take a post-legged bull over a camped-under, but i think as an industry, we're getting TOO post-legged. a good, i don't know, 45 degree angle at the hock, seems to me like the best to stand up to LONG use. not only, but especially, in the commercial (sp?) cow herd--i mean, what are you people banking on?--long-lived, productive cows, right?, but also in the feedlot.

which is where the commercial cow-calf producers make their $$--in repeat buyers for their calves because their calves out-perform the others. and post-legged cattle, it seems to me, can't take the feedyard conditions anymore than post-legged cattle can take pasture conditions.
