When animals are housed on the farm, they usually need to have their hoofs trimmed. This can be a stressful event, both for the animal as well as the farmer.

The Hoof Boss power tool was designed specifically for trimming an animal’s hoof. Hoof Boss ensures farmers have a micro-precision cutting tool.

This 11.5” 1lbs chain disc technology tool effortlessly glides through the hoof while the abrasive disc will result in a stronger, cleaner, smoother finish to the hoof. Not only is the use of this tool simple and safe, but the farmer is also improving the animal’s overall hoof health compared to a traditional method of trimming with a hoof knife.

The Hoof Boss is suitable for use on a variety of animals: horses, pigs, sheeps, goats, as well as cows.

The discs themselves were transformed from a chainsaw blade to a round chain disc, or what Boss Tools likes to call “Cdiscs”. When the properties of a chainsaw blade are reshaped and resized, it then creates a new set of characteristics to the chain similar to a hoof knife.

Boss Tools carries a variety of discs for all animals that can be found on the farm. Inside the Trim-It-All Hoof Care Set, a farmer can find 9 abrasive discs, 3 cut-off discs and 2 chain discs, perfect for any farmer who has a menagerie of animals.

Most seed companies see testing as a regulatory box to check.

But what if it’s actually one of your strongest competitive advantages?

In this conversation with Amanda Patin, North America Business Development Director for US Crop Science at SGS, we dig into what seed testing really reveals, far beyond germination and a lab report. From seed vigor and mechanical damage to stress performance and pathogen pressure, Patin explains how deeper testing can help companies differentiate their seed, protect value, and drive real return on investment.

If seed testing is something you only think about when you have to, this discussion might change how you see and use it.
