foot/hoof-and-mouth

[David Bergdahl]

This morning on CNBC one of the Jersey City hosts commented on the
Frankfort reporter's use of "foot-and-mouth disease" in place of the
more American English "hoof-and-mouth disease."  Then an hour later I
heard a local radio announcer use "foot" as well; the local announcer
was a student worker at our NPR station.  Are both forms used in the
US?  I've up to now only heard "hoof-and-mouth disease."
