* The essential difference between the bovine arterial system of the hindlimb and that of the dog is the supply to the distal hindlimb.
* Unlike horses and dogs the '''saphenous artery''' doesn't have cranial and caudal branches. Instead it continues down the plantar aspect of the foot and splits into the medial and lateral plantar digital arteries.
* The '''dorsal metatarsal artery III''' sits in the groove between metatarsal III andd IV and becomes the '''dorsal common digital artery III''' near the fetlock.
* An '''interdigital artery''' exists that connects the dorsal common digital artery III and the plantar common digital artery III by passing through the interdigital space.
* There are '''axial and abaxial digits''' that run on their respective sides of the digits.
