[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 696152, member: 7398"] I've had 5 or 6 cases now among 30 cows with lameness. Here's what's weird - ALWAYS in the back left leg. I've read up on hairy warts, but I have almost none of the precursors - in our area it's rarely in beef cattle - even more rarely when on dry pasture. Once they have it, it doesn't seem to get worse or better. They will step gingerly on the left back foot when they walk and as they transfer weight to the back right there will be something of a "pop" motion from the ankle. Doesn't seem to affect eating or attitude and there's no swelling. Inspection doesn't reveal much of anything abnormal. I suppose I could treat for foot rot - but there's no smell - the conditions in the pasture don't favor that - and the Nuflor bill would kill me. Even as I type this I realize I've just laid out an impossible scenario but on the off chance this strikes anyone for any reason I'm certainly very open to any ideas. [/QUOTE]
