After I wrote that, I knew I should have clarified. I just meant ideal in terms of the heart girth to flank girth proportion. Bulls being larger in the chest- females larger in the flank.

Personally I think that cow is a tick to extreme for me. My ideal types are below until I can prove it wrong.

What do you mean by too extreme? I don't care for the fin-like tail head but ,to me, that cows pretty exceptional.
I like the bull you posted but when they're that fat, who knows how he really looks. And the cow- the first word that comes to me is "more." Too moderate, too flat, too plane- there's just not enough there for me.
That bull is line bred and so is the cow. Both are in range condition. If he looks like that on just pasture I'm sold. The cow pictured above is to extreme in her back half to me. I don't think she will last long. I could be flat wrong. The cow I pictured is a Shoshone cow. The other cow looks very "ohlde" type to me. But too much of it. I don't think that cow can travel over range country nor do I think she would hold up very long.
