Monkey Mouth is an Undershot Jaw. It is hereditary and can be passed on. There is some more information on the Chiniana site.

Along with everything else it causes problems in cattle eating. Not as much a problem in steers as they are being slaughtered anyways, but imvho you would not want a bunch of mama cows or the bull running around with the problem.

The teeth are not lined up to cut grass or hay right. I think it takes two parents to be carriers. There are varying degrees of it. I once had a shorthorn with it. Cunia was a carrier. It is mainly a maine anjou thing I think. :)

Actually the Chi's call it an undershot jaw.
Horses can have it too.
AJ- that's right blame the Maines again!  ;)

Here is a steer w/ a very mild case.

Karma is basically when someone likes what you said & wants to reward you. Likewize if someone disagrees w/ you or takes offense they might take one away.
I think I've given you both of yours!  ;)

Hey, I really don't want to pick on you OK, so please don't take this the wrong way....

You only have 18 posts, and it seems like half of them are complaining that you don't have karma....well look at some of the rest of us.  I have almost a thousand posts, and there are some with quite a few more than me. You earn karma by participating in a discussion and maybe making a good point, or adding something to it.  Coming up with a thought provoking or interesting topic can also earn you points.  Of course, you can get points just for fun, but if there's no reason for it, then does it really matter? I think that karma is just something that is used to give like a high five to someone after a post. 

So...get involved in some of the topics being discussed, ask more questions, and have fun.  Karma is cool, but it's not essential in being a good "'Planet-eer."

  Hey Cooked Beef, you have the highest Karma to posts ratio on this board. I think I'm going to go take some karma from you. Just kidding, I couldn't care less if I had to. Brent

Other than Red

yes & i've been accused of cheating to get those!  :eek: Funny, you can't give them to yourself.

Cook Beef, just don't worry about them. They really don't mean anything much.  ;)
