Shoot me a message and get on the calendar! Lots of availability!

Annie heard a rumor that it’s been awhile since you trimmed your goats hooves…

She wanted me to tell you her keeper does that and is happy to come to you! (That’s me, her keeper).

PM me to schedule an appointment!

Goats NEED dry ground. A shelter isn’t enough if the flooring is damp or wet. This wet season is taking its toll on many of my clients goats.

I call this wet rot or swamp foot. That is just what I call it. It’s not really thrush and it’s not “hoof rot”. It’s just from being wet with no relief. The tissues swell, soften and deform.

Whenever I see this I’m sure to let owners know and give my treatment suggestions!

Just a friendly post to remind you all that my FARRIER services are strictly limited to GOATS! Sheep and commercial herds on a case by case basis, also.

No horses or donkeys. No llamas or alpacas. No cattle. No camels. Especially no pigs - don’t like pigs (sorry, I know some of you really love them!).

My FARM CARE services happily extend to all livestock. I’ll feed them and give pets and clean their waterers but I won’t do all of their feet.

Reminder!

Just a reminder to send in those fecal samples!

Clean, fresh water! Take a look in your water troughs. Ask yourself, "would I drink this?" If the answer is no - why are you making your animals drink it? ***This client noticed the tadpoles and (yep) they are adorable and deserve to live…so she set out clean buckets in the interim.***. BUT GUYS! This tadpole water is cleaner than a lot of the troughs I’ve seen at your farms!

A balanced trim doesn’t always look like a clean shaved foot. Don’t hire short cut artists, hire a farrier with real expertise. Flat, white soles might make for pretty pictures but often lead to future problems!

Find A Veterinarian

I absolutely love being your caprine helper but I am not a veterinarian.

Playful Buck Kids

When you wanna head butt except you just got disbudded and it’ll feel weird… A lot of people assume disbudding is extremely traumatic and are surprised to see how quick the act is and how the kids take right off to play afterwards. These two boys were disbudded not 5 minutes prior to this video!

Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s a sure sign of good health!

One of the first ways I assess the overall health of an animal is their coat. This is especially true in animals that aren’t regularly groomed, like goats. Modeling her January coat is Goldie. She’s in milk, too, so getting a lot asked of her. Note the silky, soft and shiny hair free of dandruff or wiriness. She hasn’t been body clipped in 2 years and isn’t groomed. This health is from the inside, out! Good feed, quality hay, consistent minerals and parasite management.

This clients goat used to be wild and run like the wind but now, after several visits, she’s the first one to the gate. Animal CRACKersssss!

Herd Health Goals! So many of my clients aren’t sure what it looks like to have a feeding and parasite prevention program that is working. Healthy goats SHIMMER and SHINE! Health comes from the inside, out. You can SEE it. Here is a quick video of a group of my own girls (currently in milk, too, so some are a little hippy - to be expected during lactation). CHECK OUT THIS SHINE! •slick coat •no dandruff •glittery shine, no grooming required •no brassy thighs, no fish tails

Have you done your fecals lately? The wet season is here and these silent killers are literally making worm food.

My clients have this boy seeking new pastures - to avoid inbreeding. He’s made some gorgeous replacement stock for them AND he’s a ballerina!! 😂

Mary had her babies and I’m FREE to travel again! Meanwhile - I’ve been getting a lot of nervous calls from new goat owners approaching their first kiddings. THIS VIDEO IS ACTIVE LABOR. Anything less is not. Within 5 minutes of this video, we had the first baby out. Within 15 minutes she had 3 kids out and was cleaning them. If your doe gets here and doesn’t have a baby in 30 minutes - you have an emergency and should call a doula (me) or your vet!

Enjoy some before and after photos! Many of my first time visits require corrective trimming like these. Good news is that over time and with regular visits, many misshapen hooves can be corrected!
