Most commercial minerals do not have enough iodine in them. I was told they are limited due to concerns about iodine in dairy milk.
You can buy iodine in 25# pails or bags from a feed mill. Quit overpaying for commercial mineral and overpaying for meds by coming up with a custom mineral mix.
We are running over 200 head on rocky meadows and have one or two foot rot cases per year. It is often a young bull, so we now vaccinate bulls only for foot rot. Not sure if the vaccine works, but iodine is magic.
