[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1135376, member: 19707"] If the bull's moving stiff, and has swelling in his joints, it could be a structural issue (too straight). If it's not too severe, cattle often move fine until they get older and heavier. I don't think it's necessarily an Angus issue, there are too straight cattle in most every breed and Angus is no exception. Not only does it affect a bulls libido, but his health all the way around, including fertility. If his legs appear stiff, with the joints not wanting to bend normally and so he kind of seems to swing his legs out to walk, that's probably your problem. [/QUOTE]
