[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 738343, member: 5106"] I was told that dairy cattle's hooves are very soft and grow fast when they are fresh/milking. Add to that the high energy and protein ration they are fed you get hoof problems. Then put them in manure and on concrete or slats , add further hoof problems. I guess if you ran your beef the same way the results would be similar. I know that the grass fed operations in Europe that I have toured ,their cattle do not need trimming near as much as our confinement operation did. Their cattle also did not milk anywhere close to ours either. I have more stories to tell about this operation but I will save a couple of doozies for another post. ;-) [/QUOTE]
