Cost to Join Healthy Hoof

What does it cost to join the Healthy Hoof Programme?

The toolkit resources are provided free upon joining
The cost for the provider's services is dependent on the hours spent on farm. For most farms the provider's cost is estimated between $1,500 and $2,500 + GST for a season.
For the cost of one lame cow you can pay for the Healthy Hoof Programme for an entire season.

Farmers piloting Healthy Hoof tell us that its benefits reach further than cost savings from reduced lameness. They also valued improved staff performance due to the education and training provided with the programme, and they told us that the clear actions they agreed in conjunction with the trained specialist gave them more confidence to act and address their lameness problem.

Farmers also appreciated the time savings and value in having a trained provider (eg. a vet or consultant who has attended a specialist Healthy Hoof Provider Workshop) assist them with the important steps such as the Diagnosis and Action Plan and Skill Development.
