[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1091446, member: 637"] We bought a really super long bull. When he was young, he stood square and was straight backed. After a few more months, he started dropping his back and he would stand with his legs stretched out like a saddle horse anytime he stood at rest. His back really dipped when he did this, but he could walk with it straighter. One day we went to the farm and he was down, and could not get up. He lost the use of his hind quarters, but would pull himself around the lot by his front legs to graze a little, eat and drink water. We were told that he most likely had a pinched nerve in his back, and with his will to live being so strong, we let him go several days to see if he would get better. But he did not. He was a B/R Destination bull, and we never got a calf from him. We were sick, as he was quite young. Afterwards, I wondered if he was suffering from back trouble, and when I see a bull standing with his legs stretched out, I am leery. [/QUOTE]
