[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 34525, member: 173"] Unfortunately once you get either one in the herd, it just takes some time to get rid of it. The foot rot is probably initially because of the low / boggy soil.. the cows' feet get soft and they get a scrape or puncture, and that's how it starts. If I remember correctly it tends to spread in the herd, especially if they are in a swampy area. You've done the right thing by moving them out of the low area, but is there still a stock tank they can get into? We haven't had the problem for a few years now, but it seems to me when we did have it, we moved the cows to a pasture that they couldn't get into a stock tank, and it seemed to clear up faster. I'm thinking that some folks use LA200.. but it seems to me we used Kopertox with pretty good success. That's a horse product, and expensive, but it worked. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
