Evaluating Soundness/Correctness
 Feet
Feet should be big, even toed, and squarely
placed with the animal so they are pointing straightforward.
The left picture shows feet that are turned out
and not square with the animal's body. This type
of defect puts stress on the inside toes and the
inside of the knees. The right picture illustrates
feet with poor depth of heel. The hoof-skin junction
of this heifer sets too close to the ground.
This picture is an example of an excellent foot.
This foot has good size, squareness, depth of
heal, and sits flatly on the surface.
