I noticed tonight that the hooves on a group of cows are getting long and curling towards the center (not up). This group gets a 2 gal bucket of sweet feed twice a day (the cheap stuff from Rural King) to keep them coming into the corral. There's only 3 head in this group. 2 bred heifers and 1 8 year old all due to calves in January. They have free choice mineral. They've been on this ration for 6 months. Can that sweet feed be causing this? I also was feeding this group 2 5 gal buckets of wet brewers grain a day over the summer when we couldnt get it all fed before it got rancid. Wondering what the cause is and where to go from here.
