If a cow had a low body condition lets say a 4 would that contribute to foot problems ? Like foot rot. Or would the foot problem be whats causing the lower body condition . Cow has been on a mineral free choice. Thank you rj
 
Depending on how long and how severe the footrot is that would definitly cause conditon issues.. Laying around and not out rustling groceries or even not spending long enough standing at the hay feeder would all be affected.
 
If my feet were too sore to walk to the frig every time a commercial comes on the TV I might lose a little body condition too.
 
Just move the fridge next to the recliner. Easiest way to maintain body condition
