Hey everyone.
I discovered the problem with my "foundered" heifer. She wasn't foundered at all, it seems that her back hooves are an inch or two longer than they should be. As the ground has frozen, and the dirt lot has become "less forgiving" she has been a little stiff to walk.
I have an old fashioned hoof trimmer, can I use this? Any advice? I'm most worried about getting her to stand in the chute/headgate while I trim them.
Thanks
