QuestionThe article says to stop when I get to the white piece, but I will have barely trimmed anything at all. In the video, they trimmed until the hoof was level, well past the beginning of the white. Which is safe for my goat?KarinTop AnswererThe safest is what the video recommends. The basic rule of thumb is that you know when you're getting close to the blood supply or the quick when you see the hoof colour, as you trim, turning to a slight pink.

QuestionI’m scared I’ll hurt my goat. Any suggestions?AprilaceeCommunity AnswerGo very slowly and trim a little at a time until you get used to it. Don't feel like you have to do it all in one cut. Be sure to stop once you see the hoof color turn slightly pink.

QuestionMy goat was banded six days ago, and the testicles are now swollen and tender. What do I do now?AprilaceeCommunity AnswerConsider taking him to a vet to be sure he doesn't have an infection. It is normal for them to swell a little bit but probably not be real tender.
