[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 605024, member: 7398"] I'm not arguing whether or not the heifer should be culled, but you can't manage something if you don't know how it occurs. I had an AI heifer that was toed out in the front this year - she was culled but her dam and sire have fine feet and the bull calf from the same dam last year had fine feet. How did this heifer end up toed out? Fluke? Was it the AI stud I used this year vs last even though the studs feet were fine? OR does this mean the dam carries a recessive trait for "toed outedness" and should be culled as well to prevent further spread of the structure condition. You can't manage something if you don't know what causes it. So - back to my question which, as you said - hasn't been answered - what causes it so it can be managed? [/QUOTE]
