[QUOTE="ita47, post: 1647531, member: 40823"] It's been my experience that some long toe foot issues are results of cuts or injuries to the hoof not something genetic. I have taken some of my cows to the vet to get hoofs trimmed and the vet usually points out the injured area and explained that the injury can cause the cow to walk on the hoof differently which can lead to long toes. If that is the cause once the injured area is healed and the toe is trimmed that should be the end of it. But there are also cows that have bad feet that do pass that on genetically. Those cattle should be culled. I am glad to see many of the breeds adding foot score EPD's. [/QUOTE]
