The Hoof Trimmers Association acknowledges that there are life events, accidents, and unforeseen health problems which threaten the financial welfare of trimmers. The Trimmers Assistance Program is designed for short-term assistance to help supply food and staples. The program may also assist in facilitating and scheduling replacement trimmers to keep customers happy and cows comfortable until such time as the trimmer can return to work.
TAP FOCUS
TAP is dedicated to standing by hoof trimmers during challenging times, helping them navigate the path to recovery and a successful return to important work in the community. Together, we can create a resilient network of support that uplifts every trimmer in need.
