The one toe will grow long and it curls up and over the other toe. The vet also said another symptom of curly toe is that the botton of the hoof gets soft and this allows cracks and infections. I did ask about foundering and this is a separate issue from foundering. He also said he doesn't...

I have a 5yr. old cow that was diagnosed by a vet with Curly Toe. Does anyone have any experience with this. I personally haven't heard of it, but he said it was hereditary and it wouldn't go away. Please help because I don't want to get rid of this wonderful cow. Thanks in advance.

Rod, If I keep them on creep feed, should I wean them? Last year's calves I let self wean and then put the calves on full feed for the last couple of months. I see what you are saying about feeding the calves instead of the mothers, but I hardly give them any grain anyway. I'm looking at cost...

Thanks again! I don't know why I worry so much. Actually, it's 473lbs at 4mnths/3weeks, but thats the great thing about Iowa. I'm new to this, but I guess I have good cows. Last year's steers got to 1240lbs in 14mnths with only cracked corn the last two months of their lives and that was only...

This is great advice, I appreciate it. So, it is okay to take them off the grain completely until they're off their mother? I didn't know if that would hurt them or not. The mothers are great milkers. I only have four cows with more than enough pasture and hay, so they do great.

I have four angus/simmetal steer calves, 5mnths old, 400-500lbs, still nursing. My plan is to take them up to around 1200lbs for butchering. I started them on a all you can eat creep feed two months ago. I was wondering if this is beneficial or can I just switch to cracked corn? Any suggestions...
