The Happy Hoofer

The Happy Hoofer Over 30 years as a Bovine Podiatrist (hooftrimmer) throughout the US&BC. Love what I do & the amazing farms, great people and beauty towns I work in!

The Happy Hoofer company emigrated to CANADA over 26 years ago at the request of Canadian farmers that liked the new, safer, more humane service they offered for hoof trimming/care. Owner Kevin Hinton trained in Oregon & has been Hooftrimming since 1989. Offering emergency/short notice lame cow service, and regular hoof trimming herd maintenance. Our hoof trimmer always has an additional employee with him to ensure that we keep your cows on schedule, get them in and out fast, and to ensure a stress free efficient visit. A proud member of the Hoof Trimmers Association, and the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce.

Thank you so much to everyone (clients, friends, football colleagues, and family) who made it out for my surprise 60th birthday party on Sunday. It was a great time, and made me feel very loved. Special thanks to my kids and wife who planned it, and to Straiton Community Hall & Outlaws Smokehouse who provided the amazing food and venue. I will be thinking of you all while I am sunning in Florida next month;)

NEWS RELEASE: B.C. FARMERS AND RANCHERS CALL ON GOVERNMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR AS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE

Nearly 70 farmers, ranchers and industry leaders from across British Columbia are in Victoria today, bringing forward practical solutions to priorities on topics such as safeguarding the sector’s need for the temporary foreign worker program, securing access to water, and the mounting pressures on farmland and competing jurisdictions. These issues are putting local farms — and B.C.’s supply of food and other agricultural products — at risk.

Today’s post is golden oldie that we found in the back of the filing cabinet this morning🤣 This passport & pic were from 1987 when Kevin & his dad Jim emigrated to Canada to bring the new upright hooftrimming chute to Fraser Valley farmers, some of whom we still trim for to this day!
