Knowing the breed could also give me a clue as to the calfâs mommaâs diet as well as his, as a high protein diet can cause swollen hocks. It can also be a clue as to is he on pasture or concrete ( hard surfaces ) which can also cause swollen hocks. Also I would need to know if he is being conditioned as a show animal.
The angle between the limb above the hock and below the hock should not be too straight (post legged) or too angled (sickle hocked). Deviation from good hock conformation just means that there will be more stresses placed on the joints, tendons, and ligaments. This may increase the chance for hock-related lameness.
