Sometimes
Is the cracked hoof bothering your cow? How deep is the crack? Are her hooves real dry?
In days gone by, I had my show cows hooves trimmed at the beginning of the show season, except for the Brown Swiss that had such nice hooves that all I had to do was walk them up and down the rough asphalt road for a touch up.
At the dairy where I work now, we trim cows' hooves as needed. Some cows need it every year and some cows never need trimming.
