how to trim goat hooves video

Its intimidating the first few times. Goat hooves are nothing like horse hooves. That marshmallow center and crispy coating. One thing I do thats not in the vid is kinda nip the toe back a touch more than the rest. Just the point at the end gets rounded up a bit. Some people trim the marshmallow but I'm too lazy. No I admit it. I'm too scared of going a millimeter too far and laming the goat for a few days. I never really carve out the bottom of a horse hoof either. It looks easy but when I try it even with a new knife, my morgan's feet are way too hard and I just don't have the technique. With the goats and horses both, sometimes I just use the rasp and do a lot of shaping with that alone.

My goats all have long hooves this winter. 5 horses, 6 goats, and 2 parrots. If I did one foot per day I still couldn't keep up with the trimming.
