[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 671675, member: 2308"] That is very interesting MM. We had a calf born about 12 years ago with a odd deformity. His one hind leg was broken mid cannon and had healed upsidedown, parallell to the upper part of the leg. His hoof was up above hock level. When we first found him, he was up and sucking, and at first, we though that his mama had stepped on his leg and broken it. What our vet figured is that she had fallen or been hit (bunted) really hard during pregnancy, and the leg had healed incorrectly in there. There was a small hole, about the size of a quarter where the break was. We had it amputated, and he did well over the summer. We butchered him at about 800 lbs that winter. [/QUOTE]
