Trimming Goat Hooves, (Video) The Girls Get a Manicure


Check out our video "Trimming Goat Hooves"

Sometimes it helps to see someone else do something -Enjoy!
Today we will be trimming the goat’s hooves. This helps keep their feet healthy, and can cut down on their chances of getting hoof root which if left untreated, can lead to lameness. It also makes it more comfortable for them to walk. As you can see, the hoof of a goat is split and the outer edge grows around the hoof and folds underneath. By cutting this flap off it helps eliminate moisture, dirt and bacteria from getting trapped in their hooves. It doesn’t hurt them, but you have to be careful not to go too deep. We use a scissor like tool designed for trimming hooves. You can purchase them at http://www.tractorsupply.com/livestock/livestock-health/livestock-veterinary-supplies/other-livestock-veterinary-supplies/hoof-rot-shear-2221602 We trim their feet about every three weeks.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I'm
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I'm really enjoying the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?
