Who We Are

This innovation became the foundation of the company, followed shortly by the installation of its first automated footbath system. Today, Specialty Herd Solutions supports over 30% of U.S. dairy cows as a leading provider of automated hoof care technology. Driven by a mission to modernize animal care, the company delivers sustainable, customized solutions through strong partnerships—offering straightforward, no-hassle service with a focus on improving outcomes for cattle, farm employees, and dairy operations.
