Misc comments
[edit]3/2/5 I came here thinking it might be appropriate to link "hoof" or "hooves" from the "farrier" entry. I am of the opinion that a redirect to "claw" isn't really appropriate.
I am considering developing content for a "hoof" entry in support of "farrier" and some other, related entries. Any thoughts or comments welcome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Erraunt (talk • contribs) 21:54, 2 March 2005
- 24/11/06 Yes an article on hoof is definately required. Claw is not remotely linked to a hoof —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tad102 (talk • contribs) 20:20, 24 November 2006
- Altho the (now accompanying) additional article is essential, claw is actually closely related to hoof: they are homologous to each other, and to nails, as should be mentioned in this article.

This article does not contain enough content to merit it its own article. The Amazing Matt (talk) 14:49, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. Not only does horse hoof have an article of its own, but also note that a special property of cows that is not shared by horses is that they are even-toed ungulates. The properties of cow hooves are shared by even-toed ungulates, which include many animal species. Horses are odd-toed ungulates. Horse hooves are different for this very reason. Perhaps cow hoof can be merged into even-toed ungulate. Georgia guy (talk) 15:40, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Support merge as initially proposed; Cow hoof focusses on the nature and care of hooves, which fits more appropriately with Hoof rather than even-toed ungulates. Klbrain (talk) 13:50, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 08:49, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
