We started Kirby Hoof Care with the goal of providing high-quality Hoof Care to the dairy community. Jess grew up on his uncles dairy in Middle Tennessee along with his parents hog farm. After college at East Tennessee State University where he majored in Surveying and Mapping he went into the work force, but his love for cows and the dairy industry kept calling him back to the farm. He became a dairy manager for his childhood friend and has managed a on a couple of large farms in the Texas Panhandle. While he was managing he realized the importance of trimming for a purpose of keeping the cows healthy and extending their longevity in the parlor. At that point he attended Dairyland Hoof Institute around 2008 in order to improve the cows on the farm he was managing. Jess has continued to trim for other farmers in Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and now Wisconsin since attending trimming school. In 2022, Jess realized his love wasn't in managing on a large farm but for the industry itself. He and his wife, Shaunna, relocated from Texas with their two sons, Clay and Colton, to West Central Wisconsin. Shaunna continues as a nurse and running her online boutique along with working with Jess either behind the scenes at Kirby Hoof Care or out in the field with him.
