This is video from June 2009, but it will give you an idea of what we did yesterday-yes it was our hoof trimming day! We trimmed 113 head of cows (all 4 feet) in about 8 hours, including set up and clean up time. We had 2 trimming chutes and 4 hoof trimmers. Hoof trimmers are very important in making sure that cows have healthy feet. By trimming cows twice every year, we make sure that hooves remain free of sores, cuts, and abnormal growths. Just like when we as humans trim our long finger nails.

I write this blog to share my passion for my cows and farming, please be respectful of that. I reserve the right to delete those comments which portray hate, call names, and are out right disrespectful. If you have an honest question, I will respond, to explain what we do on our farm, why we do it and how we do it. Please read with an open mind. My time to blog is short, as most of our days are spent caring for our beloved cows. Thank you!
