chippie, you post a lot of nice reference material . I saw the one on conformation. I just wondered if there is one specific to feet. I could use information on evaluating feet.

Most of my resources are for horses, but do have this one for our livestock 4-H members. Hope it helps. you can download it and save it to your computer.

Thanks, chippie. That is a good piece. I have a simangus heifer that is about 19 months old. She looks real nice to me. I have been watching her feet. My expectations for her are disappointing. Her feet are small for her size. Her claws are thin and long. She does not seem to walk on the tips. They are sloped too far forward. Then I noticed her front feet are turned out. I will try to get a picture. I bred her AI to Top Hand about 20 days ago. She has not come back in so may be bred. I think I will hold ber for a while but does not look real good.

Inyati, why don't you post a few pictures of her feet for review and comment?
