[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1308272, member: 18945"] I went to a local farm today that is selling out their cattle and looked at a 2 1/2 yr old bull and liked him except he drags the tips of both his rear hooves every step he takes, his left much more than the right. His rear hooves do seem to set down in the same place the front hooves just vacated, and he does NOT drag the rear hooves if he is walking up a rise in the ground--uphill. He just does it on level ground or going downhill. He doesn't appear to be in any pain and he does not swing his hooves out to the side as he walks. According to the owner, he bred every female that came in heat late last fall and he did pass a trich test and the paperwork showed he did well on a performance test 6 months ago. The hoof dragging is the only thing keeping me from buying him. What's the most likely cause and how concerned should I be about those rear hooves? [/QUOTE]
