		If your lambs hocks pull in just a bit do u trim the inside or outside toe shorter?

		Toe out trim out. Toe in trim in. I believe is the saying.

		When the lamb hocks in, the toes normally turn out, so trim the outside toe shorter than the inside toe. Really depends how severe the problem is, if it is really bad, you won't be able to fix it with hoof trimming.

		With horses they trim the opposite...toes out, trim inside shorter and toes in, trim outside shorter. Just sayin...I use the same on sheep and have good luck "fixing" flaws. That is what my farrier said to do. Can't just do the toe shorter, have to do the sides shorter too and the heel
