[QUOTE="JWBrahman, post: 1080891, member: 18439"] Thanks for sharing Alexfarms, good to see you posting on CT again. Straight hocked rear legs usually have a poor fitting of the acetabulum into the femoral head. (hip ball and socket joint) It causes the rear of the animal to sway from side to side as it tries to get full movement through moving the hips instead of the free swinging leg. A lot of the time an overly straight rear leg will pop at the stifle at the point in the stride where the leg is almost at the full rear extension. Movement is my pet peeve because of the size and shape of my property. Our cattle have to walk several miles a day to cover the place from the front to the back. [/QUOTE]
