I was told getting their hooves trimmed every 6 weeks, good mineral, and maybe some BoSE.

How big is he?
I know some people use Legend. It's an IV drug that has to be administered by a vet. It's used on performance horses, but works on cattle. No withdraw time if that's an issue. This drug goes right to the problem area, and lubricates the joint, or joints.

Iowann,
For how long is Legand effective? Is it a drug you have to give bi-weekly? monthly? Just curious, as I have a heifer doing the same thing.

MuSe or Bose injections will straighten it out Selenium lacking or tied up is the problem. Vigorotone 32sctc plus is our mineral of choice the injections of mineral max may help but selenium amount is not the answer its ratio of selenium

There is probably no with drawal time because it prob is not approved for cattle which would make it illegal

Your vet can prescribe a drug that isn't for cattle and will give you a withdraw on it, as long as it is prescribed and you follow the withdraw (and I would suggest you get it is writing) you are fine, it's not a grey area it's called veterinary medicine.
My guess is that this application would be for such a minor amount of cattle and only for the show ring that it just isn't worth the hundreds of thousand for the drug companies to go through the testing and get it approved for beef.

1 time every six weeks. Has to be administered by a vet.

Sorry to inform you, it has to be administered by a Veterinarian, and he said no problem, it goes right to the affected joint. It is NOT illegal to use in cattle.

Right Jill, I know a few people that use it on show steers that are getting to the end of their career. They just want to keep them sound. It also relieves any joint pain they are having. These were 1250-1300 lb steers.
Also, this was a last resort when Sride, or other additives didn't work.
