She wasn't walking right... what's wrong with this hoof?

This little cow was walking funny when she came into the chute, so we need to take a closer look at her hoof to find out what’s going on. She’s a yearling, which means she doesn’t fit the crush as securely as a full grown cow, and that can make the whole hoof trimming process a bit more challenging. But her walk told us something wasn’t right, so it’s time to investigate. In this video we take you through the professional hoof trimming process, cleaning the hoof, checking weight distribution and inspecting the white line. This farm sees a few cases of digital dermatitis each year, especially in the younger heifers who don’t go through the footbaths as often as the main dairy herd. I explain how footbaths work, why they are used to prevent and treat dermatitis. You’ll see the full trim from start to finish as we treat the hoof to help it heal and get this cow walking comfortably again.
