[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1813577, member: 16453"] Yes, south of me there is very little ear. I am about 175 km from the coast and not far off the edge of the range. Once you go down to the coastal strip you go into cattle tick country and a bit of ear is advantageous. The ticks carry the tick fever organism (babesia sp and anaplasma) cattle born on the coast develop an immunity at a young age and are not affected. If you take cattle from tick free areas to ticky areas you need to blood them with a tick fever vaccine. Areas where eared cattle are most common is north of here along the coast and then all along the top of Australia. Ken [/QUOTE]
