This Cow's Hoof Was DANGEROUS! 🐄 What Happens When Hooves Don't Get Trimmed

This cow was in serious discomfort due to severely overgrown hooves! We often get asked why it looks like cows have one toe longer than the other. While there's a natural slight difference, the excessive growth you see is usually because their hooves aren't being trimmed regularly.

Learn all about hoof growth in cows, how their hooves are crucial for weight distribution, and why consistent trimming (at least twice a year!) is so vital for their well-being. We'll show you a real-life example of a cow with a critical amount of extra heel on her outside toe and the special technique we use to help her.

Witness her incredible transformation as we work to make her feel more comfortable!
