It helps to make the vidoe more serious

I actually kinda like it this way

It's a welcome change of pace. When you want to focus on a sticky issue that the professionals need to pay attention to instead of us gawkers, it absolutely the way to go.

I'd like to think you read my comment on a recent video where I requested a video like this... Absolutely love it! The sound of the knife cutting the hoof is therapeutic...

this video format is wayyy way better, please keep it like this

same hahaha

Indeed 😅😂

Same I can’t stop watching these vids 🤣🤣

God, my feelings exactly! Started on Tiktok and got sucked in for whatever reason and now here I am haha 😄

Join the club!! I’m gonna guess we all watched some sort of weird bodily videos like pimples or ingrown toenails or something and we all joined together on this channel!!

Same!

I said those very same exact words out loud bro

🤣🤣

Exactly my reaction. I thought to myself "looks pretty fucked to me."

Definitely looked pretty fucked from the start eh

👏 way to go superstar ✨😁

How does a cow hoof video get you hard Bruh💀

@@Theeswaglord Idk man its weird, strangely calming

@@Theeswaglord I read it as the same ED at first and was wondering what cereal had to do with that... and then realized they meant eating disorder :D

How's your erectile dysfunction now ?

What happened in old Day they put cow down

I think most of us Cattlemen or rancher's would prefer Cowboy over dairymen

Cows were kept outside most of the year then. I walk past a place where they are inside ALL OF THE TIME and have never seen such miserable animals. There is this sign ARLA which means ASDA. They are walking around in their own mess 100% and no grass to allow their feet to dry out.

@@alexmason2659 Never been around a dairy farm east of the Mississippi, have you lad?

@@justarabidwombat no but I own dairy cows in Oklahoma

How’s the cow now? Any follow up video for this animal? I’m thinking it’s all good now. Grazing happy

@@Garrysullivanjones yeah hes a burger now

I know! How did we end up here?

she will die in a horroble way anyway... I don't know... mixed feelings tho...

I feel relief just watching these videos.

I wouldn't say its all the time, and usually in modern barns there are hoof cleaners the cows walk through :)

Yup most dairy farms do a foot bath couple times a week at least. Plus they're pretty clean

It's not like they stand in nothing but manure, sure they may walk through some, but usually they're in a clean pasture

Typically cows are kept in a pasture/barn. They are usually standing on hay or grass, though it can get muddy outside and sometimes they do step in poop.

Cattle/cows are much stronger rhan us mere mortals

I also liked to listen to the birds

Same, I love how much he cares about the cows

Such an expert too, really knows his trade

i wish he would turn off that music! i'm american and when it plays while he talks it's SO hard to understand him! lol

Yeah he is awesome.

You can tell that he loves his job and he's very good at it. The cows in Scotland are lucky he's there.

💀

Maybe you can make her party cow themed? Cows are cute, after all.

I also have no Idea. I was watchingthe military blow stuff up, then somehowe got to Antfarms and now I am here.

me too!

Yo estaba viendo combos en Marvel Vs Capcom2 (0_0)

Same!!

Me too! I’m ready to start but there are no cows near me 🤣

Yep, I always enjoyed wound care but at 65 (retired RN) I don't have the back or hand strength to care for these ginormous patients. I think Carpal Tunnel may be a problem down the road as well.

@@halcyonmom Already there myself - well only 60. But diabetic neuropathy has hit my hands so bad that at time I can't open and close them all the way.

Retired RN here. I’m obsessed with these videos I find them so relaxing and I’m not even sure why. I love the music and Graeme is sweeter than any of the docs I had to deal with 😂.

You will become addicted to this channel!

same. I was watching mr.ballen and this got suggested for some reason..

I was watching snake documentary. Then YT suggested me this lol

same

Yeah same

Same dude.... Same.

It’s like those botfly larvae videos : D

SAME!

@@mango4723 Da fuck?! XD

Satin you don't know a thing about working with cow's or the feet or notting maybe you need to get off that video game and watch this man might learn you something soon

THIS COMMENT TOOK ME TF OUT LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO IM DEAD!!!!

How long do you think this had been going on? Your so good to them all. God bless

Lmao Dead 💀

😁😁😁

😂😂😂😂

You can tell a hoof is in bad condition when Graeme doesn't do ANY voiceover at all but is just doing the scraping.

And the occasional boy.

YES !!!

They are actually pretty intelligent. I wouldn't be surprised if they remember feeling more comfortable/less painful after a trip in the crush.

I think she was relief as he cut away the rotten part.

You took the words right out of my mouth. That poor girl must have been in agony with that infection. I grew up on my grandfather's black Angus breeding farm and we trimmed feet routinely, but I've never seen anything even close to what this poor thing was suffering. I hope to see her doing better in a subsequent installment.

JIMMYYYY

LOL Jimmy this is so random xD

😂😂😂

lol valorant now watching hoofs

What chu doing here jimmy? nice too see you and yea twas a great vid

Psahtek tu débites

@Dark Code Spoken like someone who's never been around a dairy of any sort.

pussio

disgusting indeed lol

I think this goes under morbid fascination. It's disgusting, but very interesting, even fascinating, so one keeps watching. Like pimple popping videos.

WTF Am I watching right now?

@@Klomster88 yeah but that not morbid at all its litteraly the reverse there is nothing morbid about something being healed

The real question is, would you eat it if someone paid you $1Million ??

I find myself saying things like, ,'Oh, that's getting close to the white line!'

same! lol

I was thinking the same thing! Cows usually will either stamp their feet when in pain or vocalize to a degree. She did neither which was surprising

I'm far from an expert but I did work for a vet as a teen (in the early 1970s). I know the outer hoof wall (horn) has no nerve endings--it is akin to toenails. The pain is often from the pressure on the inside of the hoof capsule from pressing against the relatively inflexible outer hoof wall (when is isn't caused by something like a rock, a nail, etc). Back then, no one in our part of the country was using angle grinders, it was all done via hoof knife and nippers. If the hoof knife is kept razor sharp, there's little additional pressure applied to the hoof as horn is removed. You can't really see it in the video but quite often I could see as a teen, as soon as the abscess was opened and the pus, etc, started to come out, the cow would relax all over. With the pressure relieved, there was some soreness left, no doubt, but most of the pain was gone. Graeme keeps his knives extremely sharp and his angle grinder blades are also very sharp. You can see that he applies very little pressure as he trims hooves. Also, just being in the crush with a good part of her weight supported by the belly sling (don't know what they call it in Scotland but that is what it functionally is) and the sore hoof firmly supported by the hoof /leg restrainer, she starts the trim feeling less pain. It's like the difference between standing with a rock in your shoe and siting down with the rock in the shoe. As soon as Graeme gets into the abscess, that cow felt an immediate reduction in pain, just as if you started to slide your foot out of the shoe with the rock in it. Aaaaaaaah, the relief! So overall, for the cow, having Graeme so deftly treat her sore hoof is probably the high point of that day. She went into the crush three legged lame (from Graeme's commentary) and came out feeling a bit sore and bruised with leftover pain from the abscess but overall incredibly much better.

@@GrainneDhu Thank you for providing this well thought out and educational reply. When the cows are in the crush I tend to watch their front legs to gauge comfort. Graeme is truly gifted. We are blessed to have him represent the trimming business as a caring, professional.

@@untbunny Agreed! I suspect that in a crush with so much body support, the front legs are not responsive in the same way they were in the old crushes that didn't support the cow's weight. For the cattle with healthy hooves just getting a routine trim, it's probably a bit irritating to feel trapped that way. It's the cows who have painful feet that probably come out feeling like "OMG, I am so relieved!"

same for me why would youtube recomend me this i havent ever watched something like that but glad the cow is ok now

darkmirror21 I started by watching a small family goat farm, and it went from there.... 😅

SAME HERE, NOW I AM STUCK WATCHING A MAN CLEAN OFF A COW'S HOOF LIKE ITS AN ACTION FLICK. 😂

Same case.. This suddenly appeared on my home page. I listened to some country music so I don't know if this was enough for the algorithm to send me here...

@INDIAN DNA القناة الاحتياطية ong

its good that we kinda care before we roast the them lol

@INDIAN DNA القناة الاحتياطية would you rather have them not be cared for then??

@INDIAN DNA القناة الاحتياطية Im with you. They care her only because money. They see the cow like and object to repair and sale their milk. Its more painful to stole their milk than this.

@INDIAN DNA القناة الاحتياطية do you know that cows aren't animals that live in nature right? They are Farm animals, they were created to be human farm animals. If you let cows on nature without care they would die out. Literally.

Same!

@@tacthom probably because you like Graham, the scenery is beautiful, and the cows looks sweet.

That is so cute!!

@@AlilishSuki yeah

I had nearly the same conversation with my husband yesterday... ;-)

I was eating while I watched…lol farm girl at heart I guess…

This was the exact conversation I had with a friend of mine last night lol.

Right?! I thought the same. It sounds hollow 😬

Anyone who said that was bat crap crazy. I am not a professional when it comes to cows feet or anything like that, but I could see before he even washed the foot, it looked really bad.

Having been here for some time now so I'm fairly clued up at what you mean...when you said that it gets much worse...I thought ''oh heck''😬

I was about to say. I'm an equestrian myself and I know very little about cow's feet. But even I can see this is not good. Poor girl, I hope she makes a good recovery.

She’s beef as far as I’m concerned.

Check your local McDonald's

@@blaineerp9296 I’m gonna barf 🤢

I’ve noticed that Graeme has gotten more precise, methodical , gentle, & less hurried with the hoof trimming👍🏻

Wow 🤩nice comment, You comments so good where are you from?

Это действительно очень круто и достойно уважения!

the whole place looks like a run down dairy farm, where they most likely breed cows and take away the children from the mom cows so they can continue to get their milk, and judging by how bad her hoof was the owners called him just when the hoof got rlly rlly bad and prob didnt care that much ab the poor girl

@@aceshat8291 Precisely - taking 'good' care of the cows until their bodies are drained, they can't produce milk anymore and they are killed for their meat. Not to mention if the cows give birth to a bull calf, the calf gets bolt gunned in the head.

unlike PETA

@@sarahomalley3760 if you're gonna slaughter an animal, might as well treat it with the utmost respect and care. Also Fun Fact: experienced butchers can tell/have an idea of how the animal was treated when it was alive just by looking at its meat

Or maybe there weak

Not true. Some humans are nice to animals but horrible to people

The animal is a source of income. It's an investment

Same!! 🙂💕

I think he's from Africa...

Yep

also saying that in your head in a scottish accent lol

@@santrealyste 🤗🤗

🤣🤣🤣

Wq1

As you go home and enjoy your beef dinner hahahahahaha.

Do you know what he's taking out of the cow's foot with that long tool? What even is that?

@Sincerely Queenie I'm not a vegan, but honestly there's absolutely no reason in the world we should be eating cows. Or even milk. I can't even drink milk anyway anymore. I'm not an infant so. But honestly, we don't need steaks. It's kind of fucked up. And honestly if more people saw these cows in person everyday and saw this guy helping them. And the recovery, they'd probably think twice about steak. So maybe it's a good thing. Again I'm nti a vegan, but I don't think red meat is necessary either

@@el34glo59 No milk no butter no cheese no ice cream no reason to live

It was probably a huge relief knocking down that hoof. infection causes pressure and pain.

really reminds you that even if you are probably more unfortunate than others, there is probably still someone even more unfortunate than you

Also many animals, specially herbivores, do not show that they are in pain as a defense mechanism to avoid predation. Only when they are very in a very severe situation of pain will they express by changing their behaviour or showing discomfort

Feel worse because wild animals don't deal with this, only animals that are on farms like these.

I dont think that they have nerves or veins in there hoofs so it would not hurt them. It only hurt the cow bc it was most likely pushing into its foot which caused the pain.

I think that this wasn't ''just'' a sole ulcer...but digital dermatitis, caused by a spirochete organism that wouldn't respond to the magical paste or salicylic acid...Repaderma has.

I can only cringe at the pain of this poor animal. Thank you for helping her.

Yea when you squeeze at the top hole and the goop comes out the bottom hole, that's not a good sign lol

I would think salicylic acid would damage the flesh there, so then the hoof would not regrow.

I think there might have been some salicylic acid in the fancy blue paper towel that he just didn’t show us this time.

Cows, prey animals in general, hide problems very well. If they look weak, sick, or injured they are fair game for predators. So instinctually, they don't show illness or injury until it is a pretty big problem they can't hide anymore. They catch things early on routine trim checks, which is why they are so important. Even if your cows don't seem lame or overgrown. 🐄

@Torch Singer Aside from what Sarah said, some of these farms take care of their cows extremely well. But then they will buy cows from other farms who don't do the same. I think they might be going out of business or things of that nature. But this is a way to save a lot of money purchasing cattle. But then the first thing they do is have Graeme take a look at them and to correct any problems they have. And I'm guessing the vet as well. Those are some of the worst cases Graeme has to deal with. But if we were watching his normal day, it could get pretty boring with one cow after another having no serious problems. He shows us a handful of his worst cases.

Some cows can catch things after they were last trimmed perfectly fine maybe within days or weeks later they catch a problem that can possibly turn into something serious really fast and when it starts from the inside of the foot like Sarah said they can hide it till it bothers them at its worst same with lots of animals like she come out the crush walking almost normal and before she wouldn't stand on that foot.

I wanted to take a spoon and scoop the mud out

@@TerryProthero I know what you and Sarah have said is true...but it's still a little heartbreaking to see the cow suffer. I know it's not intentional neglect.

So true. I've noticed the same with a lot of his patients.

Hello . What are the 5 Dutch steps? 🙂

Same :D I didnt even known about this job until I found this channel. Its oddly satisfying and i love positive energy of the guy :3

Seems like he is going for an ASMR hoof trimming here haha.

Wild bovines/buffalo usually have a lot of different terrain to roam in, and have much more durable hoof material, so they don't usually get into scenarios like domestic cows. that being said, it still happens, and yes, usually the animal gets a throatful of fangs from a wolf or cat of some kind, or dies from septicemia from the infection.

Aye, species like cows that have been domesticated for centuries would have little chance of survival in the wild due to changes in their body structure, if all humans stopped keeping farming animals suddenly for one reason or another they could die out. Domesticated cows have to be milked to avoid infection, cows and horses need their feet trimmed and cared for to avoid abscesses and keratin overgrowth, sheep need to be sheared annually, etc. It's interesting how human influence has shaped evolution in this way and now we're kind of tied together- domesticated animals enabled new innovations in agriculture that allowed a bigger population to be supported. Without them we would struggle, and without us they would struggle. Forever linked and relying on each other.

@@froogsleegs that's only animals humans selectively bred. Some selectively bred dogs ended up with terrible genetic problems.

@@khatdragon7694 Yeah, we definitely made some terrible mistakes. Different dog breeds were specialised for different things.

@@froogsleegs its all im the name of science.....and guiltless human entertainment. Glad it was done generations ago and not a prime directive today tho.
