Hoof Health

-Goats should have their feet trimmed a minimum of once every 6 months.
-Pointed hoof shears, often call sheep hoof shears, should be used.
-Consult an experienced hoof trimmer for advice on technique.
-Simply lift up goat feet while the animal is standing, do not tip them up on their rumps like sheep.
-Remove hoof wall that has over grown the sole, shorten the toe, and level the sole and the heel.
-Use caution so as not to quick the feet which will cause bleeding and soreness.
