I've never seen hooves like this before. I'm guessing this deer walked around an area that had a very soft ground and prevented his hooves from wearing down or this is founder. I don't think this is a genetic defect. What do you think?

Could either be a mineral deficiency or that the ground in the area where he lives is very soft or sandy which is what I would think is the case here.
