[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 1143234, member: 6198"] Withe the exception of wet or dry ground or change in feed creating sand cracks, foot rot, due to iodine deficiency, most other causes are genetic. Curled or crossed claws, extra long claws due to walking or standing wrong are mostly genetic. Even how they stand can be genetic trace back. A cow that requires more than the basics of good nutrition, minerals, fly control, vaccinations and deworming, to maintain weight, breed back on time, wean a good sized calf, and repeat the cycle costs money. When the bottom line is tight, extras consume dollars necessary for other parts of the operation. Picking bulls with good feet, good leg stance, good sound structure helps to minimize the need for hoof trimming. Once we got rid of that bull, did not retain any heifers from those cows, we trimmed one hoof due to over saturated ground since 2002 [/QUOTE]
