trimming feet?

[MrsCountryChick]

These are my Hoof Trimmers, found at local TSC, so no shipping charges. http://www.tractorsupply.com/livest...spot1-_-Burgon & Ball Eze-Trim Foot Rot Shear A good pair of gloves, hoof pick to loosen dirt from the hoof first & a stanchion is a must. Good Luck, you'll be familiar with their hoofs after a few trims. Trimming on a rainy or wet day can be messy, but it does soften their hoofs for trimming.

I have the orange handled ones and actually used it for the first time today! They worked great but my goaties hooves weren't terribly overgrown or cracked. The "leather" was actually quite soft and pliable.
