[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 833633, member: 6897"] Fighting footrot is almost as bad as fighting flies. No sure fire cure but all the things already mentioned will help. Sometimes it's as bad in hot dry weather as in cool/damp weather. We use to walk dairy cattle thru a homemade solution containing anything from copper sulfate to formaldehyde. A good mineral with chelates and elevated iodine levels works about as well as anything but is not a short term fix...takes a while for the overall hoof health of the herd to improve. Seems a huge majority of ours was in the back feet and when a cow had a limp in front feet it was usually due to something else...but none are immune. [/QUOTE]
