[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 806033, member: 6198"] I have read that low iodine can be a cause of why jaw problems happen. When we go for periods with out adding extra iodine, especially when on hay or coarse hay, woody tongue, lumpy jaw and even foot rot seem to be on the rise. Reminds me, on monday got to order me a pail of iodine to add to the mineral. We use salt blocks and add salt in the mineral, but in our area it is not enough. We know when to cut back on the iodine when their eyes start to get watery. Since we have had that extra iodine, our cases have dropped dramatically. Woody tongue took a tole on our cow who got it. Breed back was a problem due to the weight loss and the time it took to gain it back. [/QUOTE]
