Good looking calf; nice wide, straight top, exhibits some muscle, and has some depth to him. Clip his neck real close for as much extension as you can get. I don't see his rear legs too straight; plenty of set in his hock for a show steer. His pasterns do appear to be mighty tight. Grind up about 8 regular aspirin and feed to him at least an hour before a show. The antinflamatory action should free up the pastern a little. Something to try for his front feet: As you finish his front legs, and are painting, spray his hooves black on the outside and angle a line over toward the inside toe (don't paint the entire hoof). This should help create a slight optical illusion that his feet are turning in. Good luck.
