DairyTalk 220: Less Horn, Better Balance: Rethinking Bovine Hoof Care - by Helmut Demmelhuber

The Bürgi method represents a targeted and functional approach to
bovine hoof care aimed at preventing lameness and improving
long-term mobility. By creating a deeper hollow grind and
maintaining a steeper hoof angle, the technique optimizes weight
distribution and supports healthy blood circulation. Rather than
excessive trimming, only problematic horn material is removed,
reducing injury risk and improving stability on various surfaces.
Regular trimming every 120 days helps sustain hoof health, animal
welfare, and overall herd performance. With comments on a "Elite
