calfs right foot turns out

[zak]

I have a pic of my Heat Wave X Meyer 734 bull calf. I noticed that his right hoof turns out. I posted a pic of him when he was two days old. Is there anything i can do to make this a little bit better

Both hooves appear to turn out and there isn't anything you can do for it, some get a little better as they mature but most will get worse.

It will get better as she gets older.

The fix for this may be that when you show her, get in real deep shavings and kick it up to cover her hooves - do it quick.

Seen it done a lot, though I'm being just a little facetious here.....

My sister used to actually scrape the loose dirt out of the way, walk the steer into the flat area and then push the dirt right back against his feet.  I saw a kid once go back and pull out his calf's hock.

If you know the secret to fixing that you must be the leprechaun at the end of the rainbow, 'cause you've got a pot of gold.

Usually when I see this it points to a front end that is too straight.  When the calf walks does it throw its front legs more to the side?

that is not typically a problem with the foot itself, but more than likely is related to the shoulder.  Calves can come out of being over in the knee and up on the toes. but I have not seen them come out of toeing out as it his a result of being too straight in their should and the animals method of compensating for that structural flaw.  if you can change the skeleton, you can change the feet.  I never had any luck with that.  is he a bit high in his spine as well?  very often that is another compesation for the straight shoulder.
