A few weeks ago, AABP members had the chance to refine their hoof-trimming skills at our hands-on wet lab!

A huge thank you to Dr. Doug Prante for traveling all the way from Arizona to share his expertise. He provided invaluable knowledge on the bovine hoof, common lesions encountered in practice, and proper trimming techniques, giving our members an incredible learning experience.

We also extend our gratitude to Upper Iowa Beef for their generous support and for supplying the hooves used in the lab.

Opportunities like this wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our faculty, sponsors and supporters—thank you for helping us make them happen!
