I am a relative novice in the cattle business. Producing on average, about 10 calves per year for the past 11 years does not give me a large base but I have not had any hoof problems until this year. My herd of females for the most part is unchanged but I did change bulls last year. Of the 8 calves born this fall, I have had 2 born with the front feet turned back so that the calves walk on their "ankles". One of them straightened out after 3 or 4 days. The other one still has a problem with the right hoof at 3 weeks old. Am I looking at just a fluke or do I have a genetic problem? I already have 4 heifers bred to that bull for spring calves. I am asking for advice and any comments would be appreciated.<br> Thanks<br> Mack Powers<br> XP Acres
