I finally just grabbed a leg and followed her around til she calmed down lol and then did my best to even out her hooves, it will probably take a few times.I didn't mean for you to be rough. You can lay her down gently. I never did this to a pregnant goat. That said, if you have a good stanchion, you ought to be able to grab and work on her feet without her being able to get away from you.
Just grabbing a foot while she is loose in the corral is asking for trouble. You need to have the animal under control to minimize the possibility of injury to her or to you. Tie the goat up short or put her in a stanchion. As it is she can struggle and jerk and hurt herself, or cause you to slip and cut her or yourself or both.I finally just grabbed a leg and followed her around til she calmed down lol and then did my best to even out her hooves, it will probably take a few times.
