NEW PINK AND WHITE BLOCKS!
WE REINVENTED THE HOOF BLOCK WITH AN INNOVATIVE DOUBLE SLOPE DESIGN
Why a Double-slope?
The new double-slope design gives the cow the maximum lift on her injury with the use of a thinner block. It gives almost 20% more lift on the ulcer and white line zones than a conventional .075” block. The double slope gives the cow a better gait while walking on a block… she will put the block more directly under her hock or knee, which gives her more stability and gives the injury more rest due to less stretching of the cells while walking- which leads to faster healing.
- They offer up to 60% more lift than competitors!
- 17% more lift than the Original Smart Blocks!
Tested. Results. Loved.
“Blocks improve healing by removing the pressure from the affected foot. This reduced pressure allows the wound to heal by reducing tension that pulls cells apart, thereby enabling horn cells to grow and close the sole defect.”
– Gerard Cramer, DVM, DVSc
Hoof Care Specialist at the University of Minnesota
Day 1 Out of the Chute
Day 12 Out of the Chute
“This was a late evening emergency stop. This cow was holding her foot above her head when trying to walk. First video is of her leaving the chute immediately following treatment and block, second video of cow exiting front of chute was 12 days after treatment. The herdsman said she walked that good after the 2nd day. Have had super good results with these blocks. Seems like cows get immediate relief. Thank you Smart Block.”

United Dairy Women
The primary goals of the United Dairy Women are to provide local children’s homes with year round dairy products, and educate the community about the dairy industry. The UDW was organized in 2005 and since then has raised over $1.3 million dollars that have contributed to fighting hunger in our community.

U.S.D.E.T.C.
The U.S. Dairy Education & Training Consortium was organized to provide leadership, support and resources for development and facilitation of practical, hands-on large herd dairy education and training. Programs are developed in coordination with allied industry, academia and government. The programs are meant to be capstone-learning experiences for advanced college students in animal, dairy and Ag-business curriculum on preparation for entry into the dairy industry.

At the request of dairy farmers, veterinarians, and professional hoof trimmers, we are so excited to introduce to you our latest and greatest innovation for lameness to date- the ECO Block, also known as the PINK BLOCK! At The Smart Block, we focus on COW COMFORT and aim to bring forward thinking solutions to dairy farms all over the world. This translates into ultimately a higher quality product without the higher price point. We know every dollar matters, so we condensed and tweaked all the best features of our Original Smart Block to bring you the best of both worlds in our new PINK Block design- QUALITY at an AFFORDABLE PRICE.
Your purchase of every ECO/PINK Block helps support the nutrition of underprivileged children by supplying them with the recommended daily requirements of 3 dairy products a day.
