[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1341973, member: 24816"] Thank you for the information. I have seen feet issues in other breeds as well, but in recent years, it seems more prevalent in Angus, probably because Angus are what I see the most of. I didn't realize until recently that it was as much of an issue, and admittedly didn't pay enough attention to feet when buying cattle. I first had a brush when I had a purchased bull with foot rot. The vet commented on his leg structure, I sold the bull, and then started looking at my cows, I just have a few registered cows, and now have considered 2 of them commercial only, because of their feet. One is a daughter of the other, and their calves have had feet problems too. I feel it is very inheritable. I am fattening a young bull out of one of them now, and he has very noticeable difficulty walking at this point. [/QUOTE]
