Can hoof rot from deer go to cows?
It's not likely. Hoof rot is borne more from a wound in the foot caused by crop stubble, gravel, old nails, scrap iron, or frozen mud that makes it open to bacterial infection. However, the most common culprit is Fusobacterium necrophorum, which can be a normal inhabitant of the digestive tract. Thus I do not think that deer have such a bacteria in their stomach, nor live in an area where there is much loose soil so that it can affect cattle.
