Spring hoof trimmings happened this week!! Every Spring we have specialists to do routine hoof trims on Betsy, Nutmeg, Honey and Meredith and to make sure their hoofs look healthy. In addition to that, Dr. Erin and I updated the bovines on their yearly core vaccines which are Leptospirosis and Tetanus. We are very grateful for Mr. John Thomsen and his son Blade Thomsen from Thomsen Livestock Services for making the drive over here. All of you might know this already, but Nutmeg is quite a big steer, and past hoof trimmers were not able to accommodate him in their tilt table, but he fits perfectly on the Thomsen’s table. We took the opportunity to take stifle, hock, and hoofs radiographs as well to have on their medical records. All four bovines are very content with their new pedicures.
