Cow-hocked

As Cowhocked a misalignment in the Body of farm animals ( eg pets, livestock ) or wild is called, in which the hocks of the hind limbs are turned inwards and thus show the toes outward. This type of deformity is usually considered in the evaluation of animals as negative. Often deformities of this kind in horses and other equines with special shoeing, in cattle and other cloven-hoofed animals can be corrected with appropriate hoof care.
