[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 893304, member: 6198"] Minerals play a definite part in the hoof cracks. Iodine or lack of it seems to play a huge role. As well, a change in diet will add to the stress. Going from hay to pasture or pasture to hay will show up in the hooves if mineral need are not met completely. Being that it hits your older ones and not the younger, I think the minerals should be looked at and either changed or stepped up. For us, if we do not keep up with extra iodine and make sure they are eating enough minerals, we find its the 4 year olds which run into problems with either the sand cracks in the feet or lumpy jaw/woody tongue issues [/QUOTE]
