Abstract

One segment of herd health that is being almost totally ignored is hoof trimming. An individual or two should be professionally trained to trim feet and be part of a dairy practice group. Hoof trimming, as it is presently performed, can be markedly improved because this procedure often predisposes animals to lameness when it is not properly performed.
