[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 737816, member: 6897"] Audie...exactly !!! Mineral or a lack of mineral effects a cow in many ways. A quick read will tell you what each trace mineral within the entire mineral does for the cow. Cattle in wet climates or being maintained year round on soft damp lowland pasture will have a higher incidence of foot rot, abscesses etc. This is not the fault of the cow and has nothing to do with genetics. It's environmental and/or man made. YOu can't blame the cow...she has no say about her enironment. Accidosis which leads to laminitis and long toes and also causes the cow to walk differently in an attempt to relieve pain and stress is also man made......A cow who that inherites "bad feet and legs" shows it from the time she can stand up after birth with good stability or very shortly thereafter. That is the calf that is terminal. [/QUOTE]
