Got a three year old cow with an outside shrinking claw. It's not that the inside claw is growing faster and going "corkscrew", just that the outer is getting smaller and smaller and may also be starting to screw? Hard to say on that though. It's about half the size of inner claw - which again looks to be he same size as the other claws and seems perfectly "normal". No genetic disposition toward screw claw in the lineage nor does it look like screw claw I've seen before that seems to affect the growing claw. Cattle are entirely on pasture their whole life except for vet work then they get run through the barn. Feed is either hay or pasture. No concentrates or grain. Free choice mineral... etc....
Anyone ever seen this? I suck at pictures or I'd figure out how to post one....
