"Buffalo Hoof" is a very rude slang term for the crotch of a very large woman. The actual hoof of an American Buffalo (bison) is a 4 part hoof. The main hoof is divided in two, and behind that and higher up on the leg are 2 smaller dewclaws.

Bacterial infection of the hoof, which primarily occurs in the frog of the hoof, not the actual hoof.

It depends on the breed and hoof wall stimulation and health of the hoof really. But in general, 1/4-1/2 a inch a month. Drafts tend to grow hoof wall a lot faster. I work on a draft cross mare's hooves and she grows about an inch of hoof wall in four weeks.

For Howrse Archimedes question: 1/4 - 1/2 inch. :)
