I have a 7 month old bull that has mysteriously hurt his left front leg . I talked to my vet and he seems to think that it is nothing to serious but just wandering if anyone else has had any similar occurrences. He will put weight on it but occasionally he stumbles somewhat. I could not see anything on the bottom of his hoof that would be irritating it. Best I can tell nothing is swollen. The only place I could find that seemed to be tender was directly above his hoof where the hairline meets the hoof.  It is not to tender to the touch however. It takes some pressure to bother him. Any guesses? I have thought maybe he got stepped on or kicked by another cow or bumped his leg on something in the field. Maybe even bitten by something. I was told to keep an eye and make sure his appetite was not diminishing and that there was no swelling or less mobility.
