Below are examples comparisons within different Breeds.
Nature’s Blueprint Cows are moderate in height, have wide deep, angular bodies, a strong wide top line, a moderate sized well supported udder, good feet and leg structure and are thrifty!
GABBY Cows are taller, narrower, weak backed with poor physical structure and are unthrifty!
To efficiently process and function well on grass a cow must have a big body – the factory – for the efficient processing. On the left we have examples of the GABBY Cow and on the right examples of Nature’s Blueprint Cow of the same Breed.
It is a bizarre fact that the majority of today’s cattle herds are created from computer-based breeding programs that identify, select, and promote the weak and frail GABBY type cows on the left as being superior to the strong, robust, thrifty Nature’s Blueprint Cow type on the right. Which one do you think looks healthier?
