Here is the only monkey mouth calf we ever had. His bottom teeth always stick out and he had a real short neck. We took him to the market. This was the only picture of him i could find. He was out of a BK Power Plus x Fear This bull.

In humans, we refer to it as Prognathia.  Here is a pic below to give you a good idea of what it is.  Also, here is a link from the Merck Manual that gives an in depth description.

my aunt had a slight form of it, and the pic of the surgery is accurate.  a guy at work had it done, and he was eating out of a straw for a few weeks.  had the splayed teeth action, so his mouth hurt for a while.

Cunia is a great bull but he is a carrier of monkey mouth. That is his only defect. I had the impression it was originally a maine anjou deal. I thought doctor b had considered developing a dna test for it at one time. (dog)
