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.

What problems do cows have with their feet?

It depends on what type of leg structure a cow has, or leg and feed conformation. A cow that has poor feet/leg conformation will have more foot problems than a cow that has good straight feet and legs.But as far as ALL cattle go, there are really only a few problems that cows mainly have with their feet: Hoof rot, which is a bacterial infection from an untreated wound in the hoof or between the twos resulting in the rotting of the flesh (hence the name); Founder or Laminitis, which commonly happens when cattle are fed a very high diet of grain (or high concentrate diet); Corns, which are painful growths between the toes of the hooves that may be caused by a fungal infection of the hoof; Unclipped hooves, which result in the very front of the hoof growing upwards, which makes the animal put weight on the heel instead of the toes, which is very painful, and is most common with mature cows and bulls.
