Our Services

Compton Family Farm & Dairy offers hoof trimming services for goats and sheep to help maintain proper hoof health and overall mobility. Routine hoof care is an important part of livestock management, helping prevent overgrowth, discomfort, and potential hoof-related issues.

During a hoof trimming appointment, each hoof is carefully inspected and trimmed to restore proper balance and structure. Removing excess growth helps animals stand and move correctly while reducing the risk of hoof problems that can develop when hooves are left untrimmed.

This service is available for both goats and sheep and is recommended regularly depending on the animal’s environment, diet, and natural hoof growth.

Service Details

• Hoof inspection and evaluation

• Removal of excess hoof growth

• Shaping of the hoof to maintain proper balance

• Identification of potential hoof concerns

Pricing & Scheduling

Hoof trimming is priced per livestock.

When scheduling a service appointment, please include the total number of animals needing trimming so we can properly estimate the time required for the visit.

Service Requirements

For safety and efficiency, all livestock must be properly contained and accessible at the time of service. Animals should be in a secure pen, stall, or handling area where they can be safely caught and restrained.

If animals are not contained or require additional time to catch and handle, additional fees may apply.

Important Note

Hoof trimming helps maintain healthy hooves but does not replace veterinary care. Animals experiencing severe lameness, infection, or injury should be evaluated by a veterinarian.

To schedule hoof trimming services, please contact us and include your location and the number of animals needing service.
