[QUOTE="Alice, post: 476900, member: 3873"] I don't know what's to be done with a cracked hoof other than using what you might use on a horse to seal it after you've cleaned it out real good. However, as far as anything else needing to be done before she's turned out...You said that the cows you bought were really thin when you got them. Were it me, I wouldn't turn her out into a big area until she quit limping. I'd try to keep her where she didn't have to do too much walking to get to feed and water until she can at least keep up with the other cows. Also, pain can cause weight loss...no point in setting her back by making her walk too far to eat or compete with the others. Just my 2 cents. Alice [/QUOTE]
