[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11978"] What it sounds like you have is Screw claw. This is a genbetic characteristic, and will be passed on to most but not all offspring. Treat as needed, trim to the quick, until you see a bloodline, but do not draw blood, a little blood is ok, it is a long way from the heart, and does generealy stop eventually HA HA, but seriously this will bring the animal into a more normal tracking, helping to imprive their ability to forrage and keep up with the herd. We have soft loamy sand, and have to trim most of our cattle annualy or bi-annually, just because they are at a good plain of nutrition, not because they are deffective, but because our ranch does not facilitate hoof wear even if I were to exercise them. A good trimmer will know exactly how far to trim their feet, and have a hydrolic flip table, grinder, nippers, hoof knife and toppical treatment such as tinkture of iodine or coppertox to treat the inter digital space and sole of the toes.
