Thank GOD you are there to help them, I had no idea that hoofs could get in bad shape like you have shown me ,good job. Thanks for making the videos
Brill as per norm guys, it's such a relief when we see such great results
Poor girl. How hard is a cows hoof? When your cleaning you make it look so easy.
So happy I can watch your videos again
Graeme how do you know when wrapping is needed instead of just cleaning and iodine spray
Why’s it not wrapped Graeme?
Well, that problem which the cows have are just exists cause they are standing in their own shit all day long? Because making big profits is more important as nursing or taking care of the animals like species-appropriate housing how the farmers do in the end...?
@Rudi Kraus Standing in rain soaked pastures isn't good for them either, potentially, it's MUCH worse.
My granny and granpa got a big farm also with Land many ha. And the got same Probleme with their cows. In my opinion they should bring them outside and just in for milking them. Better as ständig with infected feet in their own shit.
Plenty of cows get hoof abscesses without being kept indoors, don't pretend you know what you're talking about.
Auto subtitles for português (Brasil) please! Thank's.
If you totally lose the hoof, my dog will take it
Me Gusta mucho lo que ase pro noce ingles i pues sería bueno k colocaras letras para entender
Does it hurt the animal when you go over one the sores?
KING TECHNO
Nice
I have a question that’s probably been answered before. Why don’t you dig out/clean out the abscess? I’ve noticed everyone usually leaves it there
He does
God bless you and the wonderful job you do for these beautiful animals
I sometimes ask my self why I watch this knowing that I have a fear of blood
i live on a farm my dad does this all the time i have seen it so many times and still almost pukes xd
Genuine question from a townie - why doesn't all the dirt and what looks like manure get washed off before any work is done. Doesn't having all that crud around increase the risk of infection?
I'm not an expert by any means, so this is just an idea, but if a cow is in muck all day and is just going back to the muck afterwards, cleaning seems a little pointless, maybe the cows have evolved past that. in standard videos of his where he's just trimming, most of the bottom muck gets shaved away anyways. unless there's a serious problem, then I've seen him clean and disinfect them.
I don't know what or how a cow's foot is formed. So bless this veterinarian for his expertise, and for healing this cow without pain.
Whatever his title, his skill in healing this cow is incredible.
He's actually not a Vet. He's a professional cow hoof trimmer.
It’s funny to hear you call them the “claw” I’m used to horses, but I guess two toed animals are more like claws than hooves. I guess it helps to not just say “hoof” a hundred times in a row.
I saw what he.did there 00:10
I'm sure that hurt
man that is horobl
Legend
The fact that you specifically asked to see her to make sure she was doing well melts my heart it shows that you really care about all your patients!
Thanks for the update on her condition. I know I can’t be the only one who, while waiting for the coffee to finish brewing this morning, idly wondered how cow 817 is doing...
The Hoof GP: "so we can see there's some congealed pus just there" me watching this in the bath drinking a can of pop: looks closer
That's living the life
*_I gained so much weight during covid & if i had kept going like that i'd need a crusher to get my shoes on. I flew to Dublin from Oklahoma to be with my parents who i was convinced were going to die along with every other older person in the world because of their age. [that didn't happen] so all my brothers & sisters are below 45, i'm 39 & both parents in their late 60's. Thankfully the world didn't end but due to flights been cancelled, lock downs etc, i decided to finish out 2020 there so i wasn't as active as i usually am. My wife & kid's looked after the homestead~We have 360 acres but most of that is woods, so its really just an area the size of a couple of football fields that is worked with miles of woods around us. We got a pasture, 2 barns, some sheds & our home, all inside of electrified honeycomb fencing to keep out the coyotes, bobcats & even the odd mountain lion [plus some bears i hear but doubt it]. So my boys have done great. I just knew they would use up a ton of our .556 & 7.62 ammo out muckin about but i cant complain, the walk-in freezer is half full. Grrrr_*
He should be allowed to administer anastasia.. poor animals... they feel pain..
When a cow has 2 blocks, would they have the “first time in high heels” wobbly walk? Or do they notice any difference?
Man your killing me you got to start hitting them with peroxide we want TOO SEE THE FoAmmmMM. Bet views would jump too
I never in a million years would have had any idea how interesting this is.
Таким образом он себе вырежет ляшку на сосиски,помаленьку,помаленьку и корова без ляшки.
I notice that most of the work you do is on dairy cattle. Are dairy cattle more prone to hoof problems or are you in an area where dairy cattle are more populous?
*Looks at chunk of peeled off detached hoof* “Nice!”
Ничего не понятно, но очень интересно....
How is your hand doing?
She looked like she was going to dance
I love these videos of yours. 👍🏽 The production and editing is very good and your enjoyment Brings is joy! 🤗✌🏽❤️
I liked the music on this one 👌
Great job.. Love your videos
finally. an asmr without sound.
idk what about u this sounds like an asmr
Thanks for keeping me company in the recovery room for abdominal surgery. So soothing to watch a cow become a lot less painful. All I can say for me is thank the powers that be for painkillers. Love from the Canadian prairies
There is a soap maker on ITworlds (I Dream In Soap) that always uses “Way way back” in her videos. It was very confusing to me to hear this song on your video as well! I had to look twice to make sure I clicked the right video! 😁 Love the follow-up video! Thanks for taking us along.
That is cringe worthy, and as a cna I've helped nurses tend decubitus wounds on the elderly. 😵
I'm new here... My eyes are bulging out of my head.... Wth? Holy crap!! How can you just scrap away her hoof?! (I'm just shocked.... Not actually questioning your work. I know you know what you're doing.)
Hoof is like fingernails. It doesn't hurt to scrape the horn.
Thank you very much for the follow up video!
Nice
Pro tip: you’re reading this comment
What I wanna know is... do you often get cases where the foot (and therefore the cow) just cannot be saved? (And hello from NZ... not gonna lie, I dont like cows - I'm a horse and sheep person! - bit I doooo love watching these videos!)
You sir are amazing,
👍
Can I ask what is the name of the song and artist you use as your theme tune please, thanks x
What is that red stuff you sprayed
Iodine, he also said it
Another cow loves him ❤
Awwwww poor girl, i cant imagine how much that hurt.. cows are so innocent.. ty for helping her!!!
Would a touch of “magical paste” help? Or just iodine to help harden and dry it up?
There's no infection, so I would think just iodine will be fine.
Graeme, please do a video with your full Scottish accent!!! Can't wait for the merch!
Just the pick-me-up I needed after the day I had. Glad the dairy farmers and you were there to look after her!
Always a pleasure watching these videos
Another great video!
OooOooo! Thank you for the follow up, still looks pretty bad but definitely healing and in the right track! 👍
Please give another update on this cow. We love watching the positive progressive videos. Thank you!
I actually studied to understand ur vids more
hello nice work
how can they heal at all when they are walking in shit all day...that's soo unsanitary.
QUESTION: How do you know when to do the paste and wrap and when not to do either? I was honestly expecting the paste.
It depends if there is dermatitis or not
i don't mean to be rude but her hoof is full of feces... could that lead to an infection??
What did they do for cows hooves before blocks and adhesive?
@Sharona Maynard Yes, blocks but instant set adhesive? What dId they do when adhesive took a long time to set?
Well they have wooden blocks and adhesive has been around for thousands of years
What an amazing difference to her hoof! I find myself making comments during the video such as "I'm very well pleased with her progress." You are a true gem and blessing to these cows and the farmers, Graeme!
I honestly have no idea why I am watching this, never had cows, never will. But I am addicted and every time I watch your videos I feel better. Love your energy and the care for your "customers". Love from germany, keep going and all the best to you and your family in your new house. Looking forward to you having livestock of your own.
It really is heartwarming to see how much you care Graeme 👍
With every video of yours that I watch I’m more and more grateful that people like you are out here looking after farm animals.
😸😸😸
When do you spray with Iodine and when do you use Embryonic paste?
Porque no le colocan dos de esas placas de plastico en todas las pesuñas para que no se lastimen
So this video showed up in my reccomended videos for some reason. I do not own any livestock and have never looked up anything remotely close to this video. Fast forward 45min later and Im on my 3rd such video, they're just so fascinating lol 😆
Cow in high heel
WASH THE POOP OFF HER FOOT FIRST.
@Peanut Oreo But the foot will be straight back in the slurry when he lets her go, plus what is on the hoof, is long gone by the time he reaches the infection.
@alistair clement Because poop is unsanitary and if the cow has an infected hoof, the poop on its hoof could prevent healing.
The cow doesn't care, so why do you?
That’s just lovely ! 😊
Brilliant work, I bet Mrs cow showed off her new stiletto to her friends afterwards. 😀😀 Assuming Pt III will be in a fortnight then???
Somewhere in my mind, “horn” is inherently indestructible. So these videos continuously blow my mind. And I find the notion of cows in high-heels terrifically amusing (even if that isn’t technically the case). On behalf of everyone (of any species) who has ever suffered from severe foot pain, thank you!
oh god poor baby girl :( that one made me cry
At 2:33 "THAT'S A KEEPER"!!! Anybody like gold?
I can hear the empathy you have for the animals in your care...... Crack on and good job mate!
Do you have to disinfect your tools between cows?
That was hard to watch but damn, you're a miracle worker.
So good to see how much you help these girls
Glad she is recovering so well. I'm sure you save a lot of cows a lot of lain being so diligent, not to mention vet bills & time.
When I owned cattle and one got to this state, which mine rarely did. Why? I didn't overload my facilities where the cows walked around in that soupy shitz all day. After trimming and block put the cow on some dry ground and don't let her walk around in that god awful mess 24/7. The most amazing thing i see in this video is that every cow doesn't have some sort of foot issue.
Hey Mr. Hoof GP 😃 I have thougt a little time about whether writing this comment or not. Recently stumbled over an older one of your videos, where you were still using the WPOA crush. Since then, a lot has changed! The New Appleton Steel, you wearing face shields for protection, Craig working with you, the renovation of the house.... When you look back at those less recent videos, you might ask yourself, how you managed to get so much work done under these conditions, and you must feel very happy, about things having turned so much to the better for you, and having the Appleton. There is one thing, that hasn't changed though. Despite trimming discs are getting sharper and more aggressive every day, there is no more security measures for your fingers, which are closest to your most powerful cutting tool, the grinder. Or at least, I haven't been able to spot any. As you told us in the last streamed video, you once had an accident with the grinder, and that your hand (also the recently burnt one) has properly healed up : Can you try to keep your hands in this good shape and maybe weld a bar, or something, which would restrict your fingers sliding into the grinders disc? I know it might be difficult to attach to the grinder's handle. But I hope, it is possible to do, without it bothering you whilst modelling out the insides of the claws. When I have a look at your new videos, this is the only thing that I am left worrying about. Stay safe, over there on the green island! 🏴🏴
I bet making and editing these ITworlds videos has helped become better at his job.
You really do care !!!
I’m curious about trimming the horns. Was this done a hundred years ago? Or is this done now because they walk on cement and hard surfaces now and not open fields and dirt barn floors?
I’m curious to though he has trimmed ones who have never been on cement and they still got issues
A cow's* foot. It's the foot of the cow. Use a possessive noun, not a plural.
To be fair, he wasn't expecting a visit from the grammar police.
Amazing job! That makes me so happy to see an animal not in pain and doing well. You do such an amzing job and really care.
the cow does not hurt?
Thank you so much for sharing! I appreciate knowing how she is!
spoko gra
This was as satisfying as the pussy one. I love tge gorey ones
