This past month we were fortunate enough to have the hoof trimmers association conference and the lameness in ruminants conference in Minnesota. We had Mr William Davy here from Belgium.

He came and trimmed with us for a couple of days . We we’re able to bounce around ideas and different ways of handling different scenarios for different farm setups etc.

We were also able to sneak in some time for fishing! Here is a couple of pictures of William trimming some hooves.

Loving these new bohning blocks! They are longer and wider for better stability and also thicker to provide more rest on the affected claw. This girl got treated 2 weeks ago for a severity (2) sole ulcer and also a white line lesion (abscess). The horn is starting to harden up again and she is doing great!
