Calves affected with CCUO are characterized at birth by bowed legs or sickle-shaped legs with weak joints (joint laxity), shortened legs (disproportionate dwarfism), and in some cases a notable underbite (superior brachygnathia). ... Although the definitive cause of CCUO has not been determined, the condition in the Northern U.S. [United States] and Canada, has often been associated with sole feeding of fermented forages to spring-calving cows during mid- to late gestation.
