My 6 day old bull calf is undershot why does this happen and what causes it?

Undershot jaws in animals (according to the Merck Veterinary Manual, this is when the lower jaw or mandible is too long and juts out in front of the maxilla or upper jaw) is hereditary, and is caused by a recessive gene that only pops up when two parents that are heterozygous for undershot jaws mate. This can be a result of inbreeding or linebreeding, or just pure coincidence between two unrelated parents. In young animals, especially in your 6-day-old bull calf, this will often correct itself over time.
