your right, goats have a cloven hoof like a cow and need to be trimmed about every 4 months...the hoof will grow and start to embed itself in the living part of the hoof...causes lameness if you cannot clip it out of the middle of the hoof. Its also painful for the goat...In the wild, they have enough terrain to keep the hoof from turning into its self...

Hows your goat with the false pregnancy....(I keep forgetting her name :O( but I think you said elly may. If anyone mess's around with your babies, I'll come help you clear out those 2 legged varmits...I'll bring my 20 gage. We goat people stick together and can be real touchy when it come to our goats.....:O) Had to have my son take out a stray dog that was trying to get into the pasture...only happened once thank God, its no fun shooting a dog, but lots of fun killing a coon, I Hate Coons..nasty critters Thanks for the ping nick

thanks, I was right even when I though I was wrong...I had a picture come into my head of what I though a cows hoof was like, I think the brain gave me a picture of a horses hoof. Time for a cup of coffee to wake me up...:O)
We had a cow on the farm, she ended up being tasty. One day I called her into the barn for her daily bucket of grain and hubby went around her with our hand sprayer to keep those horrid horse flys off her and when he got to her back end, she slightly shifted her weight and landed on his foot...I didn't know a man could scream that good, but with her head in the grain bucked, he couldn't push a 1500 pound cow off his foot....I had to back off with the grain to get his foot free, but he was lucky, that barn had a dirt floor, the other big barn had cement floor, it use to be at some time in its past a barn for milking cows...now that would have crushed his foot...
Lots of farmers get hurt on the job, usually its with equipment, and sometimes a hungry cow named Spot...

I had a horse when I was a teenager and I rode Sugarfoot all over what is now densely populated west Houston. Back then it was unfenced fields and rice fields. Sugarfoot stepped on my bare foot one time and I was crippled for a week or longer.

On a bare foot is worse than having shoes on. Yikes...and horses wear shoes...I was wondering if it broke any foot bones...the foot has lots of bones in it...
To: goat granny
My horse wasn’t shod either. :)
