In the production process of raising sheep, besides doing a good job of feeding management and grazing for the four seasons, we must also pay attention to sheep's hoof repair every year. The sheep's hooves also grow and develop like other organs. However, the long hooves are not only useless to the sheep, but also make it difficult for the sheep to walk and affect the sheep's food intake, which is extremely detrimental to their growth and health. If it is not repaired for a long time, it will cause diseases such as foot rot disease and deformed limbs. In particular, breeding rams can directly affect the normal conduct of breeding work, and some even lose their ability to breed.
Shoe hoofing is best done in rainy and wet seasons. Due to the rain, the grass and pastures are moist and their booties are softer, which is beneficial to pruning. The method of repairing hoofs is very simple: first, set the sheep well, remove the dirt on the hoof, and use a hoof knife to cut off the long hoof armor. The horns around the hooves are trimmed to be nearly flush with the bottom of the hoof, and the hooves are to be trimmed into oval shapes, but do not cut too much to avoid damaging the hooves and causing bleeding or infection. Just a few days after hoofing, it is best to grazing on relatively flat grasslands and grazing lands, and then grazing in hilly or mountainous areas after the hooves are a little longer.
