Calf that walks on tiptoes

[MRRherefords]

I have a two day old bull calf that is very healthy, but he seems like he is walking on his toes. He gets around alright, runs, jumps, plays, etc. He is very strong and healthy and eats like crazy, and this does not seem to bother him. Is this something that should straighten out on its own?

No worries the calf is just practicing for its next ballet recital

Take a look this may help

I've had two that way and both were walking normal in just a couple of weeks.

X3-Being cramped up inside momma for 9 months can make anyone stiff! They should straighten out after a few days to a few weeks.
