[QUOTE="robertwhite, post: 1006982, member: 15043"] Finally got some good news this Spring. Took the cow to the large animal clinic and the vet immediately said it is NOT screw claw, and therfor not genetic. He said "I guarantee you she has a crack in her hoof(s). Got her in the chute (which is a hydraulic rotating table) , cleaned her feet off, and sure enough, both hooves had big cracks, plus the "nail" had grown down over the "sole" because she wasn't putting pressure on them to wear them down. Doc ground her hooves down real good and I carried her back home. She is already standing flat footed and walking 100x better. Once the ligaments get back to normal, she will be fine. Obviously, the cracks will never heal, but if I have to take her to be trimmed once a year, so be it. She is a super cow and has given me 2 big bull calves already. I am so glad i wasn't a pinched nerve or screw claw and I can keep her around. Thanks for all the help folks. [/QUOTE]
