[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 623464, member: 1863"] Early last week I had a short section of woven wire torn down by my cows. The wire was around some hay storage. Anyway shortly thereafter I noticed one of my favorite heifers favoring her drivers side rear wheel. I figured she had injured it in the section of fence but after a few days the limp didn't get better. Anyway... I had two cows that had come up open when I had them palped back in October (I had a post about this and I had decided to give them a second chance before deportation took place) so I was taking them in to be palped and decided to give the injured heifer a ride in and have the vet look at her. Well to make a long story short she had a Hairy Hoof Wart that had gotten torn off and infected. The vet cleaned the sore, put on a topical antibiotic and bandaged. I brought her home and put her in a holding pen in the driest area I have. I can take the bandage off in 5 days or so. Has anybody had much experience with this condition. This heifers sire and dam both had excellent feet. The heifer is about 7 months bred so she is carrying extra weight and there has been excessive rain and mud here. Should I expect the other cows to get this too and what preventive measures can I take other than continualy moving my hay rings to new spots to reduce the amount of mud they stand in while feeding? On a side note both heifers that were open in October are now bred. Evidently they both stuck on the next cycle. Now I have 100% confirmed pregnancies..$$$$$ I hope 8) [/QUOTE]
