[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1343626, member: 17767"] Yes. You could also get a calf reflecting the cow's bad feet. It is a function of random probability resulting from the sorting of chromosomes and ultimately the genes. If you have a great cow with bad feet, it seems worthwhile breeding her to a bull known for improving feet. I have the same scenario in my herd. A Hudson Pine/Rocking P cow with outstanding phenotype and genotype except the outer claw on both back feet tends to get longer and turn up at the end. Not screw claw. I clip the claw when necessary in the pasture. I am retaining her first heifer this year. Heifer is very nice. I don't see any bad signs yet on the heifer. I bred her back in December to Grandmaster who is known for good feet. For Angus, Werner War Party is known for sound feet. May not want to use him on a small framed heifer. [/QUOTE]
