    5 year old cow with a corn on her right rear foot

    She has a 4 month old calf on her now and she is bred.The surgery is $150.00 . She has good calves and if the foot will heal properly I think it would be worth it. I'm just concerned about the ground conditions. So far the responce is not in her favor.
