I have a red angus bull calf that doesn't use his back right leg. It just kind of hangs there like it is too short to reach the ground. He spends most of his days laying down, and only gets up to move around when the herd moves, or he hears a corn bucket. He walks on his other 3 legs, but it is starting to bow his back and make him misshaped. We know he won't be able to be sold at market, but what do you all think this will do to his quality of meat should we decide that the only route is to have him butchered? He is almost 5 months old now, and will probably have to be moved to a barn stall if we keep him, and he continues to grow. Thanks!
