Shropshire Farming Talk: Investment to enhance cattle comfort and digital efficiency
With 24 years of experience under my belt, I’ve seen many changes and challenges along the way.
As my business continues to expand, my team and I try to lead the way in professional cattle hoof care and have recently invested in a third Tuffy Tilt Crush.
This latest addition underscores our commitment to improving cattle comfort, efficiency, and digital data collection — key factors in modern herd management.
The Tuffy Tilt Crush is renowned for its superior design, ensuring cattle experience minimal stress during trimming.
Its innovative hydraulic system provides a smooth, controlled tilt, keeping animals calm and secure while allowing for precise and efficient hoof care.
This not only enhances cattle welfare but also boosts overall herd health, reducing the risk of lameness and improving productivity.
Beyond comfort, this investment strengthens our ability to deliver real-time digital data to farmers.
The Tuffy Tilt Crush seamlessly integrates with advanced recording systems, capturing vital hoof health information instantly.
This enables farmers to track trends, identify recurring issues, and make proactive decisions to improve herd performance.
With lameness being a leading concern in dairy and beef farming, having accurate, accessible data is a game-changer for long-term herd management.
By incorporating three Tuffy Tilt Crushes into my operation, the ND Challenor Professional Livestock Services team continues to provide exceptional hoof care services, prioritising cattle welfare and data-driven insights.
This investment reaffirms our dedication to delivering top-tier service while helping farmers optimise their herd’s health and productivity.
