A total of 1379 beef bull pictures were surveyed to determine visibility of feet
and legs from four American semen company websites. Five different breeds were
represented: Angus, Red Angus, Hereford (polled and horned), Simmental, and
Charolais. In addition to visibility, data on other variables were collected to
establish frequencies and correlations. These included breed, color, material
that obscured visibility, such as grass, picture taken at livestock show or
outside, semen company, photographer, video, and age of bull. A foot and leg
visibility score was given to each bull picture. Only 19.4% of the pictures had
fully visible feet and legs. Both the hooves and dewclaws were hidden on 32.5% of
the pictures. Correlation between bull's birthdate and the first four visibility
scores was statistically significant (P < 0.0001). As age increased the feet and
legs were more likely to be visible in the bull's picture. This may possibly be
due to greater availability of both photo editing software and digital
photography. One positive finding was that 6% of the bulls had a video of the
bull walking which completely showed his feet and legs.
