[QUOTE="Old_man_emu, post: 893117, member: 17893"] I have a small herd of 55 females and i would say of the cows aged 4 or older, which is about 20 cows, i think atleast 6 would have cracked feet. I had the vet look at the worst of them and he said that because the cracks extended above the hair line at the top of the hoof, he couldn't really treat it and it was better for me just to cull. I have heard everything from mineral deficiency, poor structure and even that some cattle just seen to be predisposed to these problem. So given that I haven't yet seen any animals 3 years or younger, is it fair to say that the problem is looking after itself with improvements i have made without even being aware? And has anyone had any experience treating/dealing with these problems? [/QUOTE]
