Goat Hoof Care

[Debbie Lynn]

Goat Hoof Care - What are some nutrition deficiency signs in a goats hoof? What is the best nutrition to keep a goats hoof in top condition?

Goat Hoof Trimming - There is good info and video out there on the proper way to trim goats hooves, but is there any info online showing how to specifically do corrective trimming on a goats hooves? Pictures or video on how to do this with before or after shots would be great :) 

I realize that nutrition, environment as well as genetics plays a roll in all of this as well, I'm interested in info on corrective trimming much like what a farrier can do with a horses, but of course in this case we are talking of a cloven hoof instead. For example how to correct a slight toeing in or out, and also how to properly correct a trim job from a former goat owner who trimmed the goats feet at the wrong angle, due to taking too much off the heels and not keeping the bottom part of the hoof level with the coronary band on the hoof.             -Thanks-
