Simply insert the desired size of wooden block into the mixing boot and apply directly to the claw/hoof. The Hoof-It Bovine Mixing Boot creates a rolled toe for better break-over during walking.

Pour liquid up to the line in the mixing toe. One capful of liquid to measure, which is approximately 25 ml. Pour about 50 gm of powder into the mixing toe. Leave some room for mixing. Use mixing stick to gently push powder into liquid. Once a majority of powder is in liquid, mix quickly. Use stick to push substance to the top of the mixing toe.
Slide wood block into the bottom of the mixing toe. Use mixing stick to pull mixture onto block three quarters of the way leaving about an inch of block exposed. Quickly apply block to good claw using mixing toe as a guide around the hoof. Be sure to not press too hard; leave about 3/16 of an inch of glue in between the claw and block.
Use the mixing toe to smooth excess glue around the claw to help hold the block on. Keep the hoof in the air for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the adhesive to dry and harden. Release hoof quickly allowing cow to put weight entirely on block. Allow cow to adjust weight to the block for a few seconds to make sure block stays on. Release cow from holding chute.
