I work with my son Mike, who has been with me since graduation in June of 1998. We are basically a two trimmers and one table operation.  We serve many large Dairies in neighboring Vermont and we routinely process 70-90 cows per day.

We support the Hoof Trimmers Association and their on going effort to bring professionalism and educational opportunities to Hoof Trimmers at the National and International level. We particularly enjoy going to the Hoof Trimmers Association conferences so we can share experiences and ideas with other hoof care providers.

Just like the Association, we hope this site becomes another means for encouraging communication between Hoof trimmers, Veterinarians, Nutritionists and the Dairy Industry.

 In May of 1999, after eight years of trimming and a need to modernize our operation, we designed and constructed  a new table and mounted it to an F550. (Picture of new truck & table). 

It took six months of designing, machining, welding and wondering if it would even work as we hoped it would.  After a year of active use & 14,000 cows, we are happy to report that it has met all of our expectations, made life easier and still no dents!
