I hear you on the hoof trimming...I did mine every 3-4 months. When I took the goats down, I wormed them, deloused them and trimmed the hoofs all at the same time. All the goats except the big bucks and wethers I could do myself, hubby had to help with the big ones...It was fun and really kept you in shape, catching and throwing anywhere for 20 to 70 goats, depending on the year..
Its been 20 years since I sold the farm, but still have the hooftrimming shears. They are great for cutting old toenails that get harder and thicker as you get old...LOL
