[QUOTE="andybob, post: 838177, member: 2703"] There is no stiff sickness here in the UK we did have a strain in the bushveld ecosystem, but the exotics were more prone to infection than the local Sanga cattle. Most lameness in the UK would be a sprain or injury, here on the chalk downs we have a large percentage of flints in the soil which cause split hooves,as the flints can be literally razor sharp (very wearing on tyres). Laminitis is common in dairy herds, and bacterial footrot in heavy soils that don't drain very well. All are treatable if caught early enough. [/QUOTE]
