RECENTLY, I WAS CALLED to examine a group of seven bulls ranging in age from five to seven months old of which two were lame. The bulls had been weaned one month prior to my arrival and on the day of weaning had been moved to a different farm. On theday of weaning, and for the first week post-weaning, no lameness was observed. However, after the first week, four of the seven bulls were lame and all were lame on the front left leg. No treatment had been administered to the lame bulls in the three weeks between the onset of the lameness and the call for my visit. However, by the time I was called to the farm, two of the four lame bulls had recovered with two bulls still favouring their front left legs.
