Tag: hoof health

I know I shouldn’t complain, not after last year’s drought when all you could hardly find a decent blade of green grass, but, cow bells, I wish this rain would stop! I feel like my hooves are ready to grow webs between my toes. Fortunately, our pasture drains well so we aren’t all standing in the mud up to our ankles. Remember what I told you about having healthy hooves? And you also have to be careful about foot rot. That nasty little fungus that gets between your toes and causes your skin to blister and bleed. Ugh!  The temperature has cooled down, though, for which I am grateful. For even though I am a Brangus and bred for warm and humid climates, a fresh breeze is always welcome.
