Some of you will have heard I lost one of my beautiful horses of 10yrs last night in an awful paddock accident. You never expect the unexpected. Now as I stand upset in the paddock as the digger is here burying him, one of my miracle pet cows “Monty” came over to me, resting his head against my leg and just standing gently chewing, not going anywhere. As human friends come and go, animal friends are with us forever. 🥺 Rest easy my big boy 🐎 🤎

For anyone still waiting on bookings to be confirmed or ones from today to be rescheduled I’ll get back to you over the next day or so

Client of a different kind today, poor cow has a suspected pinched nerve and cannot stand, red light is worth a try to help her! For those who don’t know, I am also a qualified Equine Sports Massage & Red Light Therapist 🐎🐮 Fingers crossed this lovely girl improves, will get another treatment tomorrow 🤞🏻

Gorgeous Teddy is going to be feeling MUCH better on his feet today after his hoof trim! Strangely for a young goat, his heel had grown so much it had spiralled inside between the toes causing uneven weight distribution hence the well overgrown hoof wall you can see.

Regular attention to hooves is so important!

I am organising a last minute DARFIELD day this coming Tuesday 22nd and have space for ONE more job! Hoof trims, drenching, calf disbudding, lifestyle block consulting etc

I have limited spaces available over next two weeks in areas within 20mins of Lincoln- message me for queries! Next North Canterbury trip will be about mid- May 🤩

MASSIVE day in Oxford & Cust with several new lovely clients today! 🐑 🐐 Even came home with some yummy snacks for my pet cows from one lovely regular 🍎 🥬

Do you have goats or sheep with hooves looking similar to this? These DEFINITELY are overdue for a trim and are providing a great environment for mud, p**p and bacteria to get packed in and create a real problem!! Hoof wall should not be left so long that it wraps under and covers the sole like this. Hooves should be routinely trimmed at a minimum of once per season (some even recommend every 6 weeks!). I am seeing A LOT of hooves in states similar to these at the moment and it is such an important time of year to get on top of hooves!

As mentioned in previous posts, drenching in Autumn is also a crucial time to get that task done 🪱 and we can combine both in one treatment! Hoof trims from sheep, goats and pigs and drenching for sheep, goats and cattle!

I have my disbudding kit in the car for those Autumn calves needing their wee horn buds removed too 🐮

Currently I am booked up until Mid April! Get in touch now for pricing, questions or to book a job in 🤩🐐🐏🐖🐄

Busy afternoon trimming and drenching these cheeky goats (including Tina the trouble maker) and some milking sheep 🐑 🐐 . They are now in tip top shape heading towards Winter! I highly recommend a trimming cycle of at least once every season. The amount the hooves had grown on the young kids since I did them in Summer, was phenomenal!

HOOVES! This weather is TERRIBLE for hoof issues and lameness…

Today I treated a lamb with overgrown hooves that was very lame and had foot rot. I also did a maintenance trim on a lovely old goat and came across a hoof abscess forming before it caused lameness for her.

I cannot reiterate how important it is to keep on top of hoof trims for sheep and goats! Twice a year is not adequate… The warm, humid and moist weather we have been getting is just a perfect environment for bugs and bacteria, combined with overgrown hooves the problem is just waiting to happen.

I have correctively been trimming goats and sheep for clients the past two years with good results. Please get in touch with your location and number of animals for a price 😊

Autumn calves… would anyone be interested in some weaned Autumn born calves if I rear them? They’d be ready around mid July ish.. Could handle them well to be excellent future house/nurse cows, pets etc

NOTE they wouldn’t be Beef breed they’d be like my beauties in this photo…

I’ve worked on SO many gorgeous “little” goats the last week! And then I come home to this monster sized one! Most of you will have heard a story or two about this big boy of mine… His ego is even bigger than his body! 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Wednesday 19th March I have one space left in Leeston/surrounds approx 1:45pm

Last week of March I have space on Tuesday 25th approx 2pm around OHOKA

Another excellent day trip from Ohoka, to Oxford & to Coopers Creek! Pigs 🐷, goats 🐐, sheep 🐑 and horses 🐎 today, a real mixed bag! I have such a great group of clients out here (new and regulars), it’s always a fun time and such amazing scenery to drive through! ☺️

AUTUMN 🍂 is here and this is the important time of year for drenching and getting on top of hooves before Winter ❄️. My diary for March is pretty full with mostly just the last week of the month with good availability.

Remember, goats hooves should be trimmed at least 4 times per year (minimum), recently I have been getting blisters and even broke my shears on goats that do not get done often enough - I am looking to introduce a surcharge for cases like this as it’s not fun for my hands or equipment!

Anyone lucky enough to get any Autumn CALVES who need disbudding, get in touch, the best age is 2-6 weeks old 🐮

Hi everyone 😊

I’m heading away for two weeks after a very big year of no breaks! My own 6 pet calves are weaned and enjoying their new shed made completely by me - little bit proud! 🙈✔️ While I’m away I’ll have limited internet so will respond to queries when I can.

The next Oxford/Ohoka trip has only one maybe two spots left and will be approx early March. All other areas by request!

Autumn is a great time to get on top of worming and hooves before Winter arrives!! For any questions or prices, please message the page with animal details, job required and location.

Pigs! 🐷

Miss Ethel had her hooves trimmed today, my first ever pig. I learnt that the hoof structure is essentially the same as doing sheep and goats but they just a “little” bit more difficult to restrain! Always a work around though like this girl wasn’t happy with her hooves lifted so to give her a good experience we did them whilst she was standing , i am big on creating a positive experience so next time won’t be a fearful experience! You do need a smallish area to contain your pig in and a decent bucket of feed helps too!!

This week’s things to take note of! 📖

FACILITIES! These become SO important as your cute, little calves or lambs become big (or massive in my case), strong animals! This is my very basic cattle crush set up at home - it has a wooden head bale at the front but without this I could NEVER treat these big boys safely OR effectively!! I have done a course in lifestyle block sustainability and design so if anyone would like help or advice I’m more than happy to offer this service - it doesn’t have to cost a fortune to get a functional set up 👍

FLIES! 🪰 🪰 These are very much around causing problems like Fly Strike (maggots 🤮) as I’ve come across two cases in the last week! This weather with so much rain, damp ground and sun is the perfect conditions unfortunately! I have both a prevention drench for cattle and sheep, so get in touch if you’d like your animals done
