RE: Pigeon-toed mountain horse!?!

[Kim <kim@redhorsetech.com>]

From the cow/calf operations I worked at on steep hill country, I didn't
see that kind of trend in the calves or their mamas.  Instead, they
looked like your typical flatlander cattle except for a bit more
muscling by the next season.  And of course, were much more adept at
hiding in the scrub oak, but that's a whole 'nother story ;-).
