[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 87123, member: 173"] You mention she's a "new cow" you just bought.. did you buy her from a breeder or the auction barn? Is there a chance her inside toes were trimmed before you got her? That's unfortunately a genetic / confirmation fault on the cow. If the inside "claw" of the hoof is broken shorter than the outside, she has a pretty substantial problem with distributing her weight evenly on her hooves.. which can eventually cause all kinds of lameness issues. As mentioned, if she's pretty lame now I would also put her into a small trap until she calves at least. After she does you can determine what you want to do with her. Regardless of what you decide, if you keep her you'll probably have to consider having her feet trimmed routinely. [/QUOTE]
