The Herd Boss is a lightweight rotary trimming disc that uses chain disc technology to decrease the wrist, arm and upper body pain that usually accompanies hoof trimming. The Herd Boss eliminates the painful chopping motion associated with other rotary blades and gives a smooth trim every time. This trimming disc is specifically designed for large cow herds.
This disc is designed to fit on most 4 ½ inch angle grinders with a ⅞ “ bore. When the subject of hoof care arises during on-farm visits, a full to-do list is often shared. Too many chores are already on the farmer’s daily to-do lists. Lameness treatments and hoof trimming aren’t their top priority either. Thus, the following question came to mind: how can I help our dairy farmers make the hoof trimming chore a little more pleasant?
Hoof trimming is more productive and pleasant when you use professional tools. The following tools are a must-have:
- Hoof trimming chute
- Proper and safe gating system
- Hoof trimming knife
- Grinder with a cutting disc
- Proven treatment products
- Cleaning supplies
- Hoof tester
- WrapAway bandage remover
Hoof trimming is a dirty job and requires practice. However, it has its rewards. When sorting a cow becomes a rodeo, many herd owners dislike trimming hooves – understandable. Besides taking too long, trimming may require at least two people working together to check one cow’s feet. There must be a better way! Many producers will often delay trimming a lame cow because they may not have the right equipment on hand to hold the cow safely and work efficiently. With that in mind, I’ve put together some pointers to some tools that will make this element of hoof care a less taxing chore and turn it into a satisfying job on the farm. I aim to make trimming a much faster, safer, stress-free, and rewarding procedure. At the end of the day, you should be able to say: “I helped this cow to be able to walk better.”
