Icy hooves
This message is from: Lois Anne Starr loisann...@gmail.com Hi Listers: For the first time I have had to deal with packed ice and snow accumulating in hooves this winter. I would welcome any and all suggestions about this. My crew is not shod. I was wondering once I get the ice balls out what have folks found to be the most effective in coating the soles with some kind of lubricant. Hoof flex wears off pretty quickly. How safe would WD-40 be to spray on? Since they are all walking around on rockers, would they be safer having access to the round bale 24/7 till it warms up, or would turning them out to pasture be okay? It sure looks uncomfortable standing unstable like that and seems like it would be hard on the joints. -- Lois Anne, Gallant Geier, Silly Sunny and the Lovely Lana from Montana Tell me, and I'll probably forget. Show me, and I will remember, Involve me, and I will understand.
