"The last time we clipped our cows' udders it cost $3.00 per cow. We have used the UdderSinge the past five years with less cost, easier on the cow and much, much faster. We have cleaner, drier udders, less mastitis and lower cell counts. 'The Original UdderSinge' helps make quality milk"

"After 26 years of providing veterinary services in Florida, I am always looking for ways to prevent mastitis. Long hair on udders trap dirt and moisture and allow growth of many bacteria species. I have been using the UdderSinge for over 6 years on large dairies in Florida. The dairymen singe the hair on all cows the day they freshen and again during the lactation as needed. The UdderSinge units reduce udder preparation time and helps to reduce both bacteria and somatic cell counts. I would reccommend UdderSinge to all dairymen."
Bill Freel DVM, Lake County FL
"When you clip a cow the old fashioned way it takes a week for milk production to get back to normal. With the UdderSinge you don't even see a change in milking. Besides that, there is no chance of anybody getting kicked or hurth"
David Terry, Dairyman, Rural Retreat VA
"We have singed over 14,000 cows on one 20lb bottle of LP gas and it still hasn't run out!"

"One of out top 10 best decisions made in the past five years was to singe our cows. Cleaner, drier udders with less mastitis and better quality milk."

"A properly flamed udder is one of the most important things in our milk quality program. Properly and timely done, it is one of the most cost effective ways to reduce bacteria counts, somatic cell counts, and the incidence of mastitis in general. The UdderSing is a safe, consistent, cost effective way of getting the job done."

"We received our UdderSinge in January, 1996, and after the 1st 30 cows we became 'pros'. We did it before milking and the cows let down. I was told years ago, the federal and state inspection law required clipping cows to lower the somatic cell count. We now know this is true. Thanks for a fine product!"

"Using the UdderSinge - a low heat clipping of udder hair will lowe somatic cell counts and bacteria for better overall hygiene. With lower SCC we can export more of our dairy products."
David Tomsche DVM, Melrose MN
"I can't imagine going back to clipping. Now with the UdderSinge, one man, eight hours, 2000 cows & we're done. Use a lot less water now, which is great for the environment."
