Search jobsWhat the work can involve
Cattle pedicures work close to farms, handling cattle and using hoof-trimming tools. The core task is to assess bovine feet, trim hooves, control animal movement and follow hygiene and biosecurity routines.
Skills and specializations
Useful depth includes recognising care requirements of bovine feet, judging environmental influences on hooves, operating trimming tools, post-trimming care and calm communication with farm staff.
Salary context
Pay is best compared through herd volume, travel pattern, independence in agriculture, restraint equipment, biosecurity responsibility and how often difficult hoof conditions are handled.
Career paths
Experience can lead toward independent hoof-care services, broader cattle care, farm animal welfare work, agricultural service coordination or training others in hoof hygiene and safe handling.
Good to know
Check whether a vacancy names cattle, hooves, trimming tools, biosecurity, animal movement and farm visits. Those details separate hoof-care work from general animal care roles.
