Hi friends!  Today we’re talking about trimming hooves on goats.  This is really a simple task most of the time, but it’s one of the hardest to start because of the fear of doing it wrong or hurting your goats.  Today I’m going to talk you through hoof trimming, factors that affect hoof growth, the tools you need, how to do it, and a couple pro tips that will make trimming easier and may even reduce the frequency of hoof trimming required for your goats.  Let’s dive in!

All the Best!
