[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9139"] It's rather common for older bulls to have small cracks after the winter. You say he's not lame so that's a good sign. If he has been in a small or soft area for the winter, he just needs some exercise on hard ground to trim the hoof. The crack is a stress crack from the size of his foot.<p>2 options, trim his feet, or watch him closely and be prepared to get a replacement if he goes lame. Likely he won't if he isn't already lame.<p>Jason Trowbridge<br>Southern Angus Farms<br>Alberta Canada <br> <br><hr size=4 width=75%><p> [email=trow@bigfoot.com]trow@bigfoot.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
