[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 696232, member: 7398"] hhmmmm. not sure. they're on a pretty expensive mineral - I'll have to check for zinc and ask someone smarter than me about the area. I just went and did a pretty detailed inspection on three of them. One actually has what appears to be a hairy wart between the digits on top of the foot but is not limping on that foot. The left rear, on which she' limping, shows nothing. I've brought a couple of the worse actors up to be put in the chute. I can actually see now what appears to be some parasite activity (maggots?) between the digits when looking from the rear of the animal. This is new. Wondering if the hoof is simply not getting mud and poop pushed through properly from lack of pressured use. The other limpers are not showing any parasites or open wounds leading in that direction.
