This is probably how we feel as humans when we get pedicures or see a foot doctor. We feel immediate relief after the problems of our feet are taken care of by professionals.

Buy a diamond foot file. As in file with industrial diamond shards. Good stuff. But prevention is the best way to deal with it, buy some urea foot cream and smear your soles followed by covering with cotton socks weekly, nightly, or whatever frequency your soles need for preventing build-up. Using a file or cream too often compared to your skin needs will leave your skin too raw, do don't overdo it.

[@katieorr2195]

Another superb video Nate 👍

[@mike7gerald]

I like to watch your hoof trimming even though I don't know anything about it. The first foot got a block on the good left-hoof but not on the injured right-hoof, so would that be an uneven load upon that foot? Would placing a block on the right-hoof give it protection from dirt getting into the repair and also provide even foot loading?

[@dianer.9461]

Watch more videos. The block is used to keep weight off the injured claw and allow healing to take place.

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

Yes the block is used to intentionally put all the weight on the good claw allowing the injured claw time to heal.

[@kittykat-meow]

@mikel77, I think your question is whether the block change the height of the legs, which possibly a potential limb risk, right? My gut feeling It is probably not a big deal. like human, we rarely land both feet at the same time; a little difference on cow’s leg length is not a big deal.

Question on Cow #1 Does putting a shoe on only the one hoof not cause an imbalance of weight or stress on that side of the foot that will result in chronic pain, or is that the lesser of two evils in correcting an injury? As a former dairyman I enjoy your educational and entertaining bovine videos! S. Carolina

It does put extra weight on that claw but it’s the best way to heal the injured claw. As long as the block is applied correctly and the foot angle is good, we rarely see problems associated with the application of blocks.
