Congratulations to Neu-View Acres, LLC in New Richmond, WI. The Bjorn Neumann family recently installed a Schippers MS AutoHoof Clean mat, and they told us it’s working even better than expected! Prior to purchasing the AutoHoof Clean, they were using conventional footbath and the cows kept drinking the water. When they quit using their old footbaths, warts set in, and lameness was a big issue. They said, “Installation was fast and simple. It’s basically a hands-off system. Within a week, the cows were moving around better and by 2 weeks, the warts were drying up. Never have to handle any chemicals. Simply switching hoses from one barrel to the next.” Thank you to Neu-View Acres for working with Leedstone and for the awesome feedback!
