[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 34673, member: 173"] That may be a mineral deficiency problem.. that's something that would affect both of them.. cows settling and the foot problems! Do you use a good loose mineral free choice? We generally change minerals three or four times of year, depending on the forage quality and weather conditions. If you've got a good feed mill in town, they should be able to help you with a mineral suitable to your situation. Unfortunately it's not cheap, but it's a good investment when you consider the possible consequences. Iodine is the mineral that's supposed to help prevent hoof rot. We've got an iodine salt block out now... we haven't had any foot rot this year, but I don't know if that's actually helped or if we're just lucky so far! [/QUOTE]
