TAKE STEPS TO GUARD AGAINST LAMENESS WITH HOOF CARE
2018-02-14 22:21:01| Cattle Today
If you raise cattle, at some point in time you will have to deal with lameness issues. Some causes of lameness, such as foot rot, can be easily treated on-farm if caught early. Other lamenesses can be more severe, requiring veterinary intervention and long-term follow-up.

An animals diet has a huge effect on hoof quality and overall hoof health. In particular, protein, fat, calcium, zinc, copper and selenium play very important roles. Supplementation of these key nutrients can help your livestock maintain or improve hoof health.

Among the fun was a mechanical bulldog, trick or treat path, photo booth, a fortune teller, human hamster ball course, bounce house, games, and live entertainment.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS CAN INCREASE HOOF ISSUES
2015-06-18 21:50:23| Cattle Today
It has only been recently that much of the cattleman's concerns focused on drought and widespread lack of moisture needed to grow pastures and forages. These conditions remain in many parts of the country. However, other areas including widespread parts of the southern US have “enjoyed” substantial if not excessive rainfalls over recent weeks and months. While this greatly improves forage growing conditions in these areas, a host of other problems develop with the high, sustained moisture levels.
