[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1523159, member: 9096"] When we had predominantly hereford cows, they routinely had bad (white) feet, but there were a few bloodlines that never had a problem. 25 years later, and about 5 generations down the line, most of the animals have dark hooves, because we heard the same anecdotal evidence way back then.. however, the maternal lines that had problems back then still have them now, even after dark hooves for generations.. Meanwhile, the lines that never had problems have progeny with white hooves (at least a couple white socks), and they have perfect feet that wear well even into old age. [/QUOTE]
