[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 599088, member: 615"] It's pretty rare for any of our cows or mature bulls to need a hoof trimming. Most of the time an animal needs its hoof trimmed is if its a show animal that getting increased amounts of feed (concentrates). With the extra nutrition and energy being consumed more nutrition is being sent to all parts of the body, including the hooves. In turn, the hooves begin to grow faster than the animal can naturally wear them down. Besides that, most of the cases I have seen that a mature animal needs a trim involves something wrong with the growth of the animal's foot. At least that is my take on it. Ryan [/QUOTE]
