I have a steer that as time progresses, he has begun to walk stiff and straight legged.
He weighs approx. 11-1,200 # now and will be shown at a county fair in July.
I know it is a structure thing, but is there anything I can do to help.
Also have a steer that is 'over in his knee' - any remedies for him as well?
Thanks

turn the stiff calf out more and may want to try to lead him more or even run him to free him up, and make sure you have a good foot trimmer. the calf that is bucked over. . . if he is a baby id say hit up the salebarn. but if he is for the county show, just hope he doesnt get worse, no way to fix that problem
