Leg Angle

Leg Angle EBVs (Leg) are estimates of genetic differences in rear leg structure when viewed from the side.

Leg Angle EBVs are calculated from a subjective assessment of rear leg structure when viewed from the side (angle at the front of the hock), and are expressed in score units.

Lower Leg Angle EBVs indicate an animal is expected to produce progeny with, on average, a lower score for leg angle (i.e. straighter angle through the hock joint).
