[QUOTE="chambero, post: 269522, member: 4012"] It sounds like a condition called spastic paresis to me. You run into it in some of the club calf genetics. It is fairly common. It is a genetic condition, but apparently it is not simple dominant/recessive and is hard to predict when it shows up. Basically, you have a calf that is going along doing fine and then starts to lose control of his back legs. They go through a stage where they kind of swing the back legs. It also makes them look like their back is hurt. It can affect very small calves or not show up until they are larger. Do a search on the internet and you can find out more about it. There isn't anything that can be done for an animal that has it. [/QUOTE]
