[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 758826, member: 13182"] How many of you have had bulls with shoes put on their feet in order for them to get around better on rough ground? I have seen this done on some bulls in BC and Idaho. How well does it work? Will it compensate for bad feet? The pressure to get the highest performance bulls possible is in my opinion the reason for bad feet in some Angus. I have seen some yearling bulls kept back due to their growth only no consideration was given to the condition of their feet. Before looking at the EPDs or the scale functionality should have been looked at and acted on. It also did not help that these bulls were fed to maximize growth-longevity take the hind most. [/QUOTE]
