Shoof Walkease Hoof Blocks for Cattle - Pack of 10
Description
Shoof Walkease Blocks - Lightweight Cattle Hoof Blocks, Pack of 10
Shoof Walkease Blocks are lightweight hoof blocks supplied in a pack of 10, designed to be fitted to the healthy claw so the affected claw is lifted clear of the ground. They are best for dairy and beef farmers, stock handlers and professional foot trimmers managing lameness as part of routine herd foot care.
Because the block takes the weight on the sound claw, the animal can continue to walk to the parlour, feed face or field while the other claw is relieved. The pack of 10 is a practical working quantity to keep in the crush or trimming area.

FAQ
How many blocks are in the pack?
This is a pack of 10 Shoof Walkease Blocks.
Which claw does the block go on?
The block is fitted to the healthy, sound claw so that the affected claw is raised clear of the ground and relieved of weight bearing.
Are these suitable for dairy and beef cattle?
Yes. They are used in cattle foot care on both dairy and beef units, as well as by professional foot trimmers.
How long does a block stay on?
Wear time varies with flooring, walking distance and the individual animal. Check blocked animals regularly and follow the manufacturer's guidance on removal.
Do I need to trim the foot first?
Yes. The claw should be correctly trimmed, clean and dry before the block is applied, otherwise it may not seat or hold well.
What if the lameness does not improve?
Seek advice from your vet or a qualified foot trimmer. A block supports weight relief but does not replace diagnosis and treatment.
