Noticed one of my cows limping yesterday, upon further investigation it looks like she has broken one of her rear hooves about a half to three quaters of an inch back from the front of it. Is this fairly common and what is the treatment? My cows are in a pecan orchard and i have picked up most of the sticks from the pasture and will continue to do so.

Some of the older cows that are on soft ground will break off the tips if we miss trimming them when they are in the chute for routine maintenance. Keep and eye on her it should grow back soon and will probably break off again when it grows out to far. DMc
