I know the name of my blog is “The Daily Moos”, but we have had some rough weather lately, and I had other things on my mind, as you can well imagine, or not. Today I want to remind everyone the importance of healthy hooves. I know the saying goes “No hoof, no horse”, but that goes for bovines as well. Lameness has all kinds of bad consequences: weight loss, joint infections, founder, only to name a few. The best thing is prevention: keep your pasture free of junk, don’t leave us standing in muddy contaminated soil, and if we do show signs of lameness, please take care of it sooner rather than later. Happy cattle make happy ranchers.
