Thanks. Good verbal explanation.

You left off the part where you need a 2nd person to hold the goat down bc it goes crazy when you try to trim its hooves.

I usually lay them down on their back or put them in a wheelbarrow, they are pretty much immobilized when they're on their back. But I raise a small breed of sheep that can fit into a wheelbarrow.

Thank you for being so informative! I am investigating getting goats in a few months and hoof care is my primary concern!

Hello I have gotten goats recently and would like to be more knowledgeable on hoof trimming. would anyone experienced in the comments have any suggestions on what tools to get or what brands that work really well for doing it? It would help a lot!

I can't see most of what you're referring to, because of the captions!

[@SteichenFamily]

Probably should turn off captions then.

[@ripraz8031]

Can't see what you are doing with the words right in the way 😅

[@rasistitvittuunsuomesta]

Take the writing off settings subtitles

Change the view to full screen!

Probably should turn off captions then.
