She is a good producer.Is she one of your better cows? If not slaughter cows are high.
Well worth fixing then.She is a good producer.
Can I trim too much off?We get them in the chute, use a "lopping shears" for plants/brush/small limbs.... long handled like pruning shears... nothing fancy. If she will stand, just cut it off while it is on the ground... or use a rope and tie the leg up a bit and do it... but we do ours while standing on the ground in the chute... cut it back some then if it needs more we will put a rope around the foot/hock and raise it up some to trim it more...
Curious what the vet will charge.Well worth fixing then.
I have never seen that done but it makes sense.Some embryotomy wire can work well on them.
