Hoof trimming
Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2017 3:05 pm
Hi ya!
So we just adopted a goat, 3 yo Nubian Nellie. I don't think her feet have been done in a very long time. We've been shown how (once and briefly) on a young goat who is used to getting them done. Does anyone know of any mobile groomers in Renfrew County who might be willing to come and give us a demo, at least once? Ideally, we'd find someone we can pay to do this for us as we're both pretty gunshy about it and worried about hurting her. I spoke with a farrier who gave me solid guidelines and have watched a video but that's totally not real life...I'm the one that always ends up cutting the dog's nails too short and have decided to just hire a groomer, but she doesn't do hooves! We're in Deep River.
Thanks in advance!
