[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1012202, member: 8265"] Seems that by that reasoning, you could overlook just about any faults. I would say the probability of his heifers having the problem are higher in a bull with feet problems than one without. There may be other factors besides genetics, like nutrition and type of ground, but better genetics might do better in the same situation. Anyway, seems alot of people undervalue the feet on breeding animals. I guess if they don't have to travel much, and don't have many cows to breed, you can get away with bad feet. Last fall I went to look at a guy's sheep to get a few ewes. Noticed his ram would walk a few feet and lay down. Then noticed his feet were overgrown and the hoof wall actually rolling over underneath. Pointed it out and helped the guy with trimming. Don't know how the ram had bred any ewes, but I suppose you can overlook the pain for the pleasure. [/QUOTE]
