Hoof Trimming Services
Hoof-It is a cow hoof trimming service that can help prevent and treat lameness issues in your herd. Having shaped and rebalanced 100,0000’s of hooves over 10+ years, we have the experience and knowledge to skilfully trim hooves, while diagnosing the cause of lameness issues.
There are over 20 different types of hoof lesions and ailments, so it takes a great deal of experience and knowledge to learn about each one. Because hoof trimming is all we do, we’ve mastered our skill well. With the knowledge and experience gained over the years working on many thousands of hooves, your cows are in good hands with our expert team. We can identify which infections to treat, and promote faster healing, saving you a lot of time and hassle.
Lameness, as well as causing the cow unwanted pain and suffering, can lead to body condition loses and milk production loses. It may also take a lot longer for the cow to get back in calf, all these factors greatly affect the profitability for the farmer. So preventative hoof care may be better and more cost effective than cure.

Prevention of lameness is critical in improving farm profitability and cow welfare. The financial impact of lameness is estimated in excess of $350 per lameness case, for the average cow and farm. We believe this cost to be higher in herds that are above the national average.
We keep accurate records of each and every cow, so you have all the information you need to share with your vet/nutritionist/adviser and to work out costs per cow.
