[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1326942, member: 21194"] Welcome to the forum. You said one vet disagreed about her having a foot problem. With that in mind, I'd probably wait and see if it gets bad. If if does, you need to ask yourself a question. "Is this heifer a pet, or do I hope to make money with cattle?" If she's a pet and you're emotionally attached to her, keep her and get her feet trimmed when needed. Maybe get her spayed so she won't pass it along. If she's not a pet, my advice would be to cull her. As far as the money you spent on the bone chip, that money is gone. Spending more money on her won't bring it back. And please don't misunderstand me here. If she's a pet, I'm not making any moral judgments about it. She's your heifer and as far as I'm concerned you can do whatever you want to with her. But keep in mind that most of us here are commercial cattle people, even if it's on a small scale for some of us, so that will color the advice you get. And you did come here asking for advice.
