[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1345026, member: 17767"] You are referring to the 15% number posted above, i.e., that 15 % of foot form and function issues are genetic which implies that 85% of foot form and function issues are environmental. Bigfoot has described it well many times, in Kentucky where the ground can be like play dough half the year and hard as concrete the other half, where terrain can be steep and rocky, etc. breeders select for good foot structure. I was recently talking to Roy Canada about the nice feet on a heifer I bought from him last year. He said "we breed for that". The 15% number seems low. Even in the short time I have been doing this, I see foot structure following genetic lines. My cows all live in the same environment, some have great feet, others could be better. [/QUOTE]
