Need hoove trimming tricks

[Deborah Haney]

Maybe try putting your leg under them right in front of the back legs? Like putting your foot on the milking stand and putting them over your knee? I groom dogs and that's how we deal with big, squirmy dogs, not sure how well it would work with goats. With smaller goats you can wrap an arm around them over their hips for a little more control. I also spray/flick/smack when they jerk around and don't put the foot down (even for a break) until they stop struggling for a moment.
