[QUOTE="jayfarmlaw, post: 476785, member: 7472"] I have a Angus 4 year old bred cow that I bought at a sale barn last week. Friday, she began limping badly on her front left hoof. I got her in a chute yesterday thinking it might be foot rot or an object but all I could see is a crack about 2 inches long running verticle in the center of the hoof. It is not particulalry tender but she cant put much weight on it. I did not have any copper tox so I gave her a dose of LA200, B-12, and sprayed the hoof with purple wound spray. I see there are pine tar products for horses that seal the hoof to preven infection. I have her on liquid feed, bermuda hay, salt, and free choice stocker mineral. These cows were thin when i bought them so I am giving them all they want to eat right now. Another post said cracked hooves are nutritionally related. I hope they are getting everything they need now. Soooo. Anything else I need to do before turning her back out? Thanks in advance for your response. Jay [/QUOTE]
