Yep, I trim my girls myself. Several years ago we had 2 pygmys for pets and a lady vet showed me how to do it.

Yeah, Texas and Alaska have slightly different weather. There is never enough snow to cover the concrete.

I used to have goats and we made a good size concrete slab. Like 6X6 feet and made the finish on the concrete real rough then we set the water barrel right in the middle of it and they all would walk on the concrete and it would keep their hooves trim. Kind of like filing your finger nails

Yup! At the ranch we trimmed their feet ever 6 weeks to two months depending on how they are looking.
