[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 614492, member: 7956"] When I sold my calves last week, I had one that I held back. He is a 600#+ steer that is walking very strange on his front legs. He acts as if it hurts to take a step, and appears to have a lot of flex in his front pasterns. He puts his feet down like he is walking on eggs and trying not to break them. He moves very slow, but eats/drinks fine. Nothing has been changed from his diet for 90 days or so, been getting a mixture of ground corn, soybean meal, ddg's, and a premix, as well as free choice brome hay. My plan at this point is just to feed him out to butcher, rather than sell one single calf. I haven't called the vet yet, as I am not overly concerned about his overall health. Anyone have any ideas?
