Episode notes

In this episode of Chewing The Cud, Karen and Dave are joined by Leigh Fletcher of LMF Hoofcare, who visits the farm every two weeks to ensure the herd’s hooves are in top condition. From trimming techniques to preventative care, Leigh’s knowledge, experience, and genuine love for our cows shine through, making him an invaluable member of Halton Farms’ wider team. And when you put Dave and Leigh together in the parlour, you’re guaranteed some friendly banter along the way!

Tune in to learn why hoof health is so essential to the cows’ overall well-being, and get an inside look at how a dedicated hoof trimmer keeps Halton Farms on solid footing. Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the most important (but often overlooked) aspects of modern dairy farming.
