Goat and Sheep Farrier Services
Gentle Approach
Enhancing your animals health doesnt need to be rushed or rough... we work with all ages and stages. We want each experience to be pivotal towards better health! We use a variety of tools, two people to secure the animal and calm energy to trim and maintain your herds hooves.
Empowering you as a herd and flock owner is essential!
Why should you Partner with a Professional?
Let's face it, some times time gets away from us, we get overwhelmed, or
- You may have a injury or health complication that prevents you from physically wrangling and handling , wiggly, kicking goats to get the job done!
- You don't have the extra person ( or two) to trim all those hooves!
- You rather not touch poopy, muddy hooves!
- You are not confident in using sharp, dangerous tools to trim hooves!
- Your animals hooves are scary looking!
- You have a animal that does not like to be handled!
- You rather sit back and let us trim your critters hooves!
- You tried to trim one time and it was " a epic fail" !
- You have no idea how to trim hooves correctly - that's okay!
Are all valid reasons why animal owners like yourself are turning to professional goat and sheep farriers.

Before our visit:
Please complete our New Customer Intake form.
*Please have your animals contained when we arrive
*Please have a clean surface for us to work ( doesn't need to be a show room setting, just a place where we can work in good lighting preferably indoors)
*Please have your animal in a location where we can easily access it , If we have to catch your animal - we will refuse to provide service. Safety is our Goal!
During our Visit
We encourage animal owners to be present.
We bring ALL the tools needed as well as follow bio security practices to prevent spread of diseases from one farm to another. This is very important to us and ensures you that we take that next level of safety!
We always work in teams of two, this provides a safe form of restraint and extra eyes on the animal.
Our team is friendly and well versed in animals that are less than enthused to have their hooves trimmed. We always try to make the experience calm and enjoyable.
Small animals, " the little ones" may be held by one of our team while the other trims.
If your animals are trained to a stand, we have no problem trimming on there, as long as the animal feels safe while on the stand.
If your animal needs veterinarian attention or is wild/unmanageable we reserve the right to pass over that animal. This is for their safety and ours.
