Professional hoof trimmers provide regular maintenance trimming and therapeutic treatment for lame cows. Most dairies have herds trimmed 1-3 times per year on a whole-herd or group basis.
Quality trimmers are certified through programs like the Hoof Trimmers Association and follow established protocols. They typically use hydraulic trimming chutes for safety and efficiency.
A good trimmer-farm relationship involves consistent scheduling, treatment protocols, and record keeping. Many trimmers can identify lameness trends and advise on prevention.
