5 days ago had a heifer come up with a slight limp. 3 days ago got her in the squeeze to take a look. Hosed her hoof off to get a good look. Now mind you, I do not by any means have a fancy squeeze… and it was just me, myself, and I attempting to look at this heifer. I'm holding the rope to squeeze her in but also trying to look at her hoof. No swelling, no smell, and nothing stuck in the hoof but I could only see from the top. Tried looking at bottom but I didn't want to get killed doing all of this by myself. Well here we are a few days later and still limping… it's been muddy and wet. Going to get her in the squeeze again tomorrow with help from a neighbor to really get a better look and make sure nothing is in her hoof. Suggestions for picking her hoof up to get a good look? She's a decently gentle heifer but still… you know how they can be.
