They won't [shouldn't] get thrushy from having a mud spot they visit, like near the water trough, when it's super dry out.
Oh no, then they should be good. A favorite mud spot is probably good for them in that case. I'm talking about when the ground refuses to dry out and they're up to their ankles in mud and wet and muck and their feet don't get a chance to dry out.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing too. The stuff that sucks my boots off and takes a screw driver to remove after it dries on their feet. No lie, I have had to take them to the wash rack 2 or 3 times to soften in up enough. I thought about soaking in buckets but that's one of those things I would run by my trainer first:')

When the boys were raising pigs for 4H they made them a mud hole to roll in. Ever seen pigs sigh in bliss?
