Goat and Sheep Farrier Services
Reliable. Professional. Insured
We are not cattle or horse farriers, we specialize in small ruminant farrier service. There IS a huge difference between how horse and cattle farriers trim a horse or cow hoof and how a goat and sheep hoof are correctly trimmed for a balanced, comfortable foot!
Enhancing your animals health doesn't need to be rushed or rough... we work with all ages and stages.
Don't make the mistake of "calling the old time horse farrier down the road" or " some guy" who may leave you with a lame or fearful animal. Our small ruminant farrier service is the answer to the overgrown, dirty, unbalanced foundation of your goats and sheep.
We are your partner in animal care and want to empower you as a herd owner!
