Yesterday on Whidbey was a blast. I normally work alone, but my 2 favorite fellow unicyclists (boyfriend and best friend) joined along for the fun this time! They got to learn about different farm animals and see uncommon hoof conditions and treatments in person.

I am frequently asked what can be done to improve the health of goats' hooves between trimming sessions. The truth is, without major changes to your property, most people will have a hard time. Goats' ancestors, Ibex, naturally live in a rocky, arid environment. It does rain, but due to the rocky texture of the soil, water does not pool up and slides right off the ground, allowing goats' hooves to dry and maintain themselves. Here in the PNW, our soil naturally absorbs and holds onto water for months at a time. This is horrible for your goats' hooves. It weakens the white line and sole of the hoof so badly they sometimes completely fall apart.

I have seen undeniable improvements to goats' hoof health throughout my career with a simple solution: adding large stones to the habitat of your pet goat. In the photo, you can see 4 to 6-inch road base rock. Due to the size of the rocks, your goats can stand mud-free even in the wettest season. Over time, the rocks sink partially into the ground, and the gaps can be filled with slightly smaller rocks. I have seen goats' hooves completely recover after years of issues once this is done.

Why do I recommend such large rocks over normal gravel or sand? Aside from the fact that our soil seems to swallow smaller rocks whole, they have a tendency to get stuck in goat hooves. Sand, without a rock base, tends to hold water and allows your goats' hooves to sink into it.

I don't sell or provide insight as to where you can purchase these rocks, sorry. I'm sure your local landscaping/hardware/quarry can help!

Please feel free to share photos and mud solutions that have worked for you and your goats hooves in the past!

This is Domino, one of the tiniest and most precious goaties. At 3 years old, he can't weigh more than 30 pounds! I have never met such a tiny adult goat before. Especially a wether, which are typically quite large. Being strangely sized usually comes with a cost though, little Domino has a malformed jaw. That doesn't mean he's above getting kisses πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

Some before and afters today. The mud is getting really bad in Washington right now, goats hooves are suffering. Water damage makes them soften, they will bend under your goats weight and separate at the white line causing hoof walls to tear off. Keeping your pens as dry as possible with ZERO standing water or waterlogged bedding/grass is the most effective way to prevent hoof wall separation. Unfortunately that is nearly impossible for many people to achieve in this very wet state, so it can be managed to a point where your goats are comfortable with regular hoof trimming.

This is NOT necessarily a sign of neglect, its just a reality of where we live, and it happens fast. If you notice your goats hooves are water damaged, I can help you maintain them and point out wet spots in your goats enclosure

Merry Christmas! Hope Santa brought your goaties lots of candy canes, peanuts, and animal crackers!

GOAT HOOF TRIMMING - one of the most important parts of keeping your goats healthy and happy. Most goats benefit from having their hooves trimmed every 8 weeks.

Just send my your number of goats and location and I will send you a quote!
