[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 684836, member: 4353"] Sickle hocks is when you look at the hocks from the side and it has too much set (more angle than the ideal) Typically the backfeet will overstep the tracks of the front feet. It doesn't look pretty but a little too much set is far better than not enough. The opposite would be post legged. Cow hocks is when you stand behind the animal and the hocks point to each other, very often seen in heifers, especially when they are in lean condition. Again a slight cowhock isn't the end of the world as far as longevity goes, but it certainly is pretty to look at. The opposite of cow hocked is bow hocked and that isn't seen too often. [/QUOTE]
