It depends on how big the cut and location.

@Poka_Doodle shows sheep, she will have more answers for you than me.

Question for Poka_Doodle...... Can the OP put a black polish on the hoof to help hide the cut? Or is that allowed?

Not sure about lambs, but we’ve been using a horse hoof conditioner for my old goat with bad hooves. It has made his hooves grow very fast, but double check it’s safe for lambs.

Thank you for tagging me. I am lost for an answer. I really don't know the best option. If fair is five weeks out, I think the hoof would have enough time to grow long enough to be okay in time for fair.
