Yorkshire Foot Trimmers
The Foot Trimming side
started in 2009 after Robert
needed a trimmer for one of
the cows that was lame. He
couldn’t get one because
there was an 18 week waiting
list! A friend sent one round,
but he charged a fortune and
didn’t even realise Meg was
lame. Robert and Mandy
were convinced that there
was a definite market for this
service so carried out a lot of
research. That revealed – to
their amazement - that a lot of
trimmers wouldn’t tackle the
big animals - or ones with horns
- and wouldn’t do front feet!
So
they both
trained and qualified to learn
the trade, bought a crush and
off they went. They operate
a superb service and will go
anywhere in the country and
do all sizes of animal - horned
or not and all feet. Also they
have a set charge per mile
and a set charge per animal
so farmers know exactly what
