Love her power and bone, but I had a heifer like that one year. All the power you could ask for and her hind wheels looked just like hers. Straight like fence post. When she got older (6 months to a year). She still had power, and she was still straight like a good post! I hope she grows out of it for you. Good Luck!

You can't be concerned with leg structure at this age if it isn't perfect. Give them a month to loosen up and stretch out.

I am happy that she is doing good after a little medicine.

I have never been able to look at them when they are babies and see what they are going to end up being in terms of too straight on their legs.  I like her, but what do I know.  You should be proud of her.

If nothing else, she is darn sure cute!

she cam out with one foot straight forward but the other leg got was a little bent when she came out and the vet came out and said its common that she could of been in that position for a while and it got fluid built up and cause her to be  straight legged when she put pressure on it he said it happens all the time if calves come out of the momma with a bent leg and not straight forward and he felt it and did an xray and said thats what it was a gave her a multi min shot in the joint and shes good!
