Need help steer having a hard time walking.

[gwelty]

We have a 950 lb steer out of uno mas that is standing with his back legs up under him more than normal and when he tries to walk you can tell he is in pain looks like the pain is in back.

Does he look something like the calf in these videos?

Hoof trimmer, Animal Chiropractor? Could be something in his feet.

This is not spastic paresis.  This is upward fixation of the patella where the medial patellar ligament gets hooked up over the medial trochlea of the femur and prevents the stifle from flexing.  This is predisposed by a straight hind leg conformation.    There is a surgical correction that is possible but this would be unethical for a veterinarian to perform.

Yes he is walking like the calf in the video but not as bad
