[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 5396934, member: 1646"] Totally understand, but what is a lame cow? 'Lame' is the wrong term really because by the time they are 'lame', the damage is done. It is those score '1's and '2's that need dealing with quickly. There is a suggestion in the research that lame cows are predisposed to being lame forever so if you can sort/remodel the foot before they get a mechanical problem like an ulcer, it prevents trauma to the delicate cells that produce the horn at the 'quick'. Cows have fat pads in their feet, low BCS cows are more likely to get lame and lame cows are more likely to have a BCS problem so it is a slippery slope. Believe it or not, farmers are apathetic!
