[QUOTE="angie1, post: 696086, member: 3886"] I had a hereford heifer like this. I also had 2 of her 1/2 sisters. The sisters never developed the hoof problem. She was not over fed at any point, kept good condition ~ but not fat. They did not get worse, but they did not get better. I do believe it will significantly compromise her legs over time, and you should hesitate keeping heifers from her if you decide to keep her. Hopefully you are right, and it is a temporary issue due to feeding. As far as what you have heard about herefords, in my opinion they are wonderful animals ~ and issues they may have had in the past have been significantly reduced by strict culling. As a beef producer in a cow/calf operation, I have enjoyed the herefords, and would not hesitate to buy one (or a whole herd of them for that matter). [/QUOTE]
