My Lead Goat's Foot Problem-Advice?

[Nanno]

Chaffhaye is fermented so I'm not sure it presents the same problems as alfalfa. It's kind of in a whole different category I think. Your goat doesn't look like his foot problem stems from alfalfa. There's a very distinctive way that it causes their feet to grow. The front legs will be stiff and almost bow-legged with very upright pasterns, and it affects both front feet, not just one. This looks like a congenital conformation issue rather than a nutrition-related one to me. His large size definitely doesn't help! It's common for people to boast about the size of their packgoats, but it seems like the larger boys often break down a lot sooner than their smaller counterparts. The really big boys need to have outstanding conformation with large, correct feet and legs or they just can't hold up. I see the same thing in horses.
