An effective regimen for preventing lameness in your herd can have a significant impact on the yield and profitability you achieve.

Regular visits for mobility scoring, assessment and hoof trimming as required can help you minimise the main causes of lameness. As highly experienced and qualified hoof trimmers, and licenced Mobillity Scorers, you can be sure of first class lameness prevention services for your herd. Throughout Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Monmouthshire and Gwent, we offer a complete consultancy, assessment and foot trimming service.

The name Weston-super-Mare is made up of Saxon words meaning the west tun or settlement, and the Latin words super, meaning above, and mare, meaning sea. It is a highly popular tourist destination with all that you would expect, such as broad, sandy beaches, attractions in the shape of museums and funfairs, and regular festivals like the spectacular carnival, the sand sculpture festival and the Royal Air Force Festival.

With the gently sloping land leading down to the sea, there is a wide range of agricultural activity surrounding Weston Super Mare too. A number of the farms have transformed themselves into tourist attractions, the best known of which is Noah's Ark. Even cattle and other cloven hoofed animals in these environments can benefit from regular prevention trimming, and some of the more unusual jobs we have been called to have been in the Weston Super Mare area.
