Banjo, I agree with the suggestions. I am not an old hand but I am a graduate of Foot Problems of Cattle 101 by way of the school of hard knocks. If she is that sore, I bet there is a physical cause. She needs to go in a chute where you can spread her toes and check for a foreign object or puncture, etc. Look for reddness and inflammation up where the toes begin to part as a sign of foot rot. Cattlemen I know have more experience than me but they all jump immediately to the conclusion that it is either fescue toe or foot rot and for me at least 75% of the time it is an object lodged or stuck in the tissue. Let us know what you find. BTW, sorry to be blunt but what do you mean by 300 yards being a long way from facilities? :hide:
