Gear that makes the workday easier.

Comfort in the cowshed isn't a luxury; it actually helps you work better.

We recommend DryCuffs for anyone handling stock (milking, feeding calves, docking lambs), washing or servicing equipment and even gardening! They fit snug around the wrist.

We use these sleeves to protect our wrists and keep our arms dry! They are durable for everyday farm work and are available in your preferred options of Blue, Black, Green or Pink

Kit yourself out with gear that works as hard as you do.

Cut through the hard stuff without wrecking your hands.

If you've ever tried to shorten a long toe, or remove a block, with a blunt pair of nippers, you know the struggle. It’s hard on the cow, and even harder on your wrists.

That’s why we stock the Pro's Choice Hoof Nippers.

Designed with long handles for maximum leverage and sharp, durable jaws, these nippers make removing excess horn easy. They let you get the bulk of the length off quickly so you can focus on the fine detail with your knife.

Why we love them:

Superior Leverage: Less effort required for every cut.

Stay-Sharp Jaws: Clean cuts that don't crush the hoof wall.

Save your energy for the rest of the herd and do it right the first time.

Do it right the first time.

Gidday team! We know how it goes, you’re chasing production, the days are long, and the last thing you need is a string of lame cows slowing down the herd and eating into your bottom line.

You can’t afford cows going lame, and quite frankly, neither can they. Whether you’re a sharemilker, owner, or managing a large herd in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, or Central Plateau, we’ve got your back.

Why get The Hoofman on the farm?

Stress-Free Handling: We use top-tier, hydraulic crushes. It’s safer for your cows, safer for us, and keeps the shed calm.

The Lame Cow Experts: With a combined 36 years of animal health experience in The Hoofman team, we don’t guess; we identify the issue and treat it properly so your girls walk out happy and start putting milk in the vat again.

Efficiency: We turn up, get stuck in, and get the job done efficiently without cutting corners.

Animal Welfare First: We treat your herd with the same care we’d treat our own. No rough handling, just professional care.

As we always say: "Do it right the first time." Don’t wait until the mob is limping. Let’s get on top of it now so you can focus on the rest of the farm.

Servicing: Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Central Plateau & Surrounds.

Send us a message or give us a bell today to book a slot. Let’s keep your herd moving!

The "Blue Label" – Your go-to for getting them walking right.

Meet the workhorse of our toolkit: The Block-Stick Fast Cure (Blue).

While we have the Orange formula for those scorching summer days, the Blue label is our "daily driver" for typical NZ conditions. It hits the sweet spot between working time and setting speed, making it the perfect all-rounder for Vets and Farmers.

We call this a shed essential because it’s simple and saves you time. The 200ml cartridge fits standard dispensers, it has a genuine fast cure so you can treat and move on, and the design means zero waste, no cross-contamination messing up the tube.

Don't complicate it, just use what works. Do it right the first time.

Stock up on the Blue Block-Stick at our online store here: https://thehoofman.co.nz/product/block-stick-adhesive-200ml-cold-condition-formula/

Good foundations make for happy cows.

Nothing is satisfying about a long, overgrown toe twisting a cow’s foot. And there is nothing better than fixing it.

We love getting stuck in and tidying up feet like this. By removing the excess horn and re-balancing the sole, we take the pressure off immediately. You can almost see the relief when they walk out of the chute.

Our Service Guarantee is stress-free handling, professional workmanship and cows that walk out better than when they walked in

Keep your girls moving freely this season.
