Know how you feel when your feet hurt? Well, it's no different for your goats. Out-of-shape and overgrown hooves can lead to illness, sore legs or even worse in goats.
Goat metabolism is very rapid, so they must be able to stay on the move and browse. But overgrown and untended hooves that turn inward and curl over the sole of the hoof, provide an incubation site for the bacteria which cause diseases such as hoof rot, which occurs on the sole and the wall of the hoof, and hoof scald, which occurs between the hoof "toes."
Hoof disease and untended hooves make walking etremely painful and can even make competing for food difficult.
So what are you waiting for? Message us today for your appointment! Don't let them hurt any longer!
