If you are going to trim the roots then just take the very tip off when you transplant. I don't trim the roots at all, just transplanting seems to work for me.

I usually get a big main root with several small roots around it.

...2012 my first year with heavy carrots, just transplanted them, and most of them developed a thick main root with several additional roots, just like Cornish Giant said. Here´s an example of what I had found when I picked my carrots:

Odd looking enough?
