This episode jumps into the topic of Lameness and Hoof Problems in Cattle. Our guest was Dr. Meredyth Jones Cook, Professor of Practice in Livestock Production at the School of Veterinary Medicine, Texas Tech University. 

Lameness and Hoof Problems in Cattle was a great discussion with Dr. Meredyth Jones-Cook.  Dr. Cook was born in Texas and raised in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kentucky. After spending many years in her dad’s mixed animal veterinary practice, she decided to attend veterinary school at Oklahoma State and focus on food animal medicine. After some time in private practice, she completed a residency to specialize in large animal internal medicine. She taught at Kansas State, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma State before joining the team at Texas Tech. She provides continuing education and consulting to large animal veterinarians, and she and her husband ranch together in Oklahoma along with their two daughters. Dr. Cook was such an enjoyable interview and provide easy to understand information that you can use in your operation. Dr. Peterman and Dr. Cook took on the following questions and provided great advice and feedback. Can you differentiate foot rot from other, more serious conditions that cause lameness in cattle? How can you determine when antibiotics are going to be beneficial in a lameness case and when more aggressive treatment is necessary? How can producers play an active role in preventing cattle from becoming lame? What are some various treatment options available for conditions such as septic joints, sole ulcers, and torn ligaments? Is there a correlation between hoof and joint health and pulmonary arterial pressure? Is increased lameness correlated to the increased size and weight of cattle? How much do genetics play a role in lameness and hoof health? Make sure and listen to this episode in its entirety and I would download it to keep as a resource. Great stuff!
