    I have a Limousin weanling bull housed on slats. He is in a few weeks now and is very tender on his feet. Is taking him out the only option, or is there anything I can get off the vet to help him.
    All opinions welcome.

    i would get his feet paired and leave him off the slats, without lifting the foot you dont know what the problem is , so you wont know how to treat it

    If he's tender on all feet consider if it could be laminitis from meal feeding. A proportion of animals are more sensitive to it than others. Otherwise, he may just have softer feet and a rest away from the concrete would sort him out. You'd need to be careful re-introducing him though.
