[QUOTE="AudieWyoming, post: 737779, member: 13669"] I have been thinking a lot about the possable effects of soil type and moisture on "good feet" and foot problems lately. Between the dry abrasive soils and a good mineral program I have never had reason to question my cattle's foot structure. I just took credit for selecting and breeding good feet into them. Now I have some of those same cows in a wet, muddy environment, that looks conducive to soft hooves and foot rot. The next year or two may teach me I am not as clever as I once thought. What do some of you that have been running on soft heavy river bottoms or 40-50 in. rainfall think. Do you manage your mineral program differently, say higher sulfer levels or something. Any thoughts would be appreciated.@ [/QUOTE]
