Weak Pasterns

[KTC]

We have a steer that is weak in his pasterns does anybody have any suggestions on what to give him that might help strengthen
the joint or any techniques tried that have helped?

How does he travel? Are his dew claws scraping the ground. Was he like this when you selected him or did he develop this condition? To my knowledge I do not think there's much you can do for him.

There is a link on the left side of the page on steer planet that says want hair? They have selenium bolus on there that worked for me.

We had a heifer we showed a few years ago that had the same problem. We fed natural stride and it helped alot , it didnt totally fix the problem but did make a big difference.
