Fitting front legs

[blueshorthorn]

My county steer is a hairy blue roan with hereford-esque marking (white belly, legs, tail switch and face, blue roan body). He already is carrying more weight on his front half, and I'm afraid pulling his legs up will add to the problem. I've seen kids in my county pull all the hair up and forward and form a "fin" on the front side of the leg, should I do that?

can you see how they fit the front leg in this video?
if it were me and  if you calf has the hair, i suggest fitting the legs and trimming them down.

Lowe's and Home Depot both carry those lights. You can get 50 on a strand or 25 and I think as little as 3 or so.
