When you look at a cow from the side or from the top, she should get wider and deeper from her head to her rear. This wedge shape is very indicative of fertility, grass efficiency, and productivity. When you look at a bull from the side or from the top, he should be wider and deeper in the front – broad in the shoulders and narrow in the hips.
Bulls and cows should be wedge shaped in the opposite direction. Compare the wedge-shaped PCC® cow and bull on the right below to the status quo rectangular-shaped cow and bull on the left. Notice the narrow-in-the-hip PCC bull still has twice as much muscle in his hip as the rectangular bull.
The rectangular shape in cows and bulls is indicative of sub-fertility and the dependence on high-energy feed. This is one of many reasons our low-input, wedge-shaped Solar Bulls can breed twice as many cows for twice as many years as high-input, rectangular-shaped Diesel Bulls.
