An innovative block designed to reduce the amount of glue used, while creating the most secure bond possible. The ideal hoof block for herds having issues with ‘white line disease’ or sole ulcers.

Unique application process; the block is held on the hoof as the glue is being injected in the hole at the bottom the block. There are spacers on the block to ensure the proper thickness of glue is applied. The Y-shaped glue canal delivers the glue to the exact location between the block and the hoof. This creates a permanent bond between the block and the glue with little waste or mess. The inside heel of the block is elevated to prevent glue from entering the soft spot of the cow’s heel, while giving support as she walks, without pinching.

Labeled for: beef and dairy cattle


Species: cattle

  • A cost-efficient choice for blocking cows.
  • Color-coded to easily identify right or left blocks.
  • Soft and flexible, yet durable enough to stay on for the allotted time it takes for the animal to heal.
  • Provides optimal comfort and pain relief.
  • Works for all toe sizes.
  • Tested, pliable material chops up easily if it ends up in your manure system.
  • Glue can be applied at a warmer temperature to speed up the whole blocking process.
  • Blocks are less likely to fall off because glue is ‘anchored’ to the block.
Begin by trimming the hoof flat and make sure it is completely dry and free of debris. Apply a thin strip of glue on the white line of the axial and ab axial wall of the hoof or block. Then quickly place and hold the block on the hoof. Insert the glue tip in the glue injection hole on the bottom the of the block. Inject 1 to 2 pumps of glue into the Y shaped canal. Hold the block in place for 30 seconds and wait the recommended curing time according to the glue manufacturer.
