DANGEROUS SITUATION .... dealing with a stuck cow's head 

Agree! I was thinking they MUST have a "something" around that farm that can lift the cow up and out since they have to lift heavy things like hay bales...good on Craig for going for the forklift! Good thing it didn't have the hay spike on!

Cows are strong and weigh a lot, people underestimate both of those things when combined together.

It is amazingly dangerous that can hurt themselves and you.

​@@RadDadisRadEspecially when she starts to panic. Dairy cows weigh average 1400 lbs or 640 kgs. Too large to move by hand that way. Glad they got her with the lift .

I would have started stacking square hay bales under her front feet, but hey, wharever works.

I was surprised too.

Either that was a mild case of shock, or she'd decided that since they had already saved her (when in that position, she would have been a free meal for any predator; heck, even a coyote would take that shot, and they don't like risk!), that they were clearly not out to harm her in any way. That's why she panicked when she was stuck; even if she's never met a wolf, bear or big cat in her life, ancestral and genetic memory means she KNOWS that to get stuck like that means you are easy meat for the next carnivore that happens to come by. You see the same thing during rutting season in deer; when two bucks are sparring, but get their antlers tangled and stuck? That's a carnivore's wet dream, right there; the mythical 2-for-1 special...and the deer PANIC when it happens, because they know they're boned.

That’s just how dumb cows are, they got threat permanence of a grapefruit

She probably doesn't even remember that it happened.

Yeah i thouht the same

It's a good thing cows have relatively strong necks. I've seen an ostritch be in the same scenario and he unfortunately died trying to get himself unstuck.

You have a video of that?

@@83reggieT Video of what?

@@billmullins6833 meant to reply to guy talking about the ostrich plus it was meant as a joke anyhow.

Yea I feel your pain too I had a nail stuck in my foot before

The noise would have stressesd her out ,let alone the sparks. Shouldnt have a gap big enough for your arm cause the buggers will put their legs in the gap too

Everybody's an expert when they're sitting at home watching But things are a little different when you are in the situation.

Doing so strikes me as a bad idea. Not only do you have to replace the fence. But the girl will probably freak out at the noise and sparks. Greatly putting any person doing this at risk of being kicked. Well handled man 👍🏻

Amen!! 👍🏼 You did what needed to be done in the best way.

Phew; that was nerve-wracking; so typical that the cow would find the ONE place it could get into trouble! She couldn't do that on purpose but they can ALWAYS do it 'by accident"! Gotta give Craigie-boy credit for thinking of the forklift! I was thinking they HAD to have something around that can "lift" heavy things. Good job it didn't have just the hay spike on!

👍👍

You seen the video of the ostrich killing itself when itbgotnita head stuck, and snapped its neck? Stuck heads are dangerous

​@@dethmaul, ostriches have many more neck bones than cattle. But a broken neck is the quickest route to the dinner table, regardless of species.

Hi, I am from South Africa 🇿🇦 and love watching this gentleman. I have watched different people working on hoof's. This gentleman is outstanding 👏 👌 🙌 👍 with his approach and work. He's the best

At least it wasn't a sheep

i live on a farm and have seen a cow whit his head a quarter turned it was alive and walking around but looks just cursed we were pretty sure it had it head stuck and just brute forced here self free it couldn't eat so we sold her to the butcher

Sure, you certainly are, the cow master, smarter than every cow 😂

Cows are completely stupid animals …

Jep... This cow will not be an engineer I guess.

Specially on that slippery floor...no telling which way she could have 'landed' on it!

I was so scared she'd break her small neck! I am so happy now. Amazing.!

The cow could have snapped her neck, as well as, hurt the men!

Mine too. I was so tense, I found myself clenching my jaw and shoulders.

I almost cryed of feer for her life 😢 Thanks for saving her 🐮💞

Yes! One of our horses fell and got their head stuck under a dance. He got a big gash. It was terrifying. 😢 He ended up passing, and the fall was actually the result of something else going on with him.

I'm so so sorry... I've had a few horses in situations, but nothing like this, and I can't begin to imagine the stress you must have felt...

​@@too_tired_for_thisI'm sorry for your loss... that's horrifying..

This also happened to my horse and no harm came to my horse

So sorry you lost her.

Me too

It sounds like the farmer has long had issues with this cow. Sometimes they just do stupid things. They are so curious they have to check out anything new. But when they get close it's head for the hills fast.

... and from Austria! LOL

My Dad saved a child who had put head through concrete shaped part of bridge! He lifted childs feet so head dropped to wider part!

​@@irenedavo3768Wow! Good thinking of your Dad! 👍

His outfit may be dirty, but his skill is clean.

Couldn't have said it better myself.👍👍👍

that's because you believe cows to be sacred. he's not doing it because of a religious mandate, he's doing it because he's a good person who cares about animals.

@@mcarrowtime7095 we don't serve cows because it is sacred, it is because cows were the first animal to be domesticated who served the human needs. And what religion, it's a foreign thing to us, Hinduism is a way of living , full of logic and reasoning , esoteric to people who embrace. I didn't tag him with religion, i shared a belief. That too a practice. Think🙂

@@k.shahil5437 hinduism is a religion. if you don't believe me, google it.

​​​​@@k.shahil5437 Yep. Hinduism, as I understand it, is more of an umbrella term for the spiritual ideologies that fall under it. Spiritual isms don't tend to be religions in the western sense, us westerners just categorise them as religions because it's easier to think of them as if they are similar to Abrahamic religions. The word Religion, is an entirely western concept. Where Christianity and Islam (Maybe Judaism too? It is also Abrahamic and shares religious text with Christianity, but I don't know enough to know for certain) differ a lot from Hinduism is that Hinduism does not have a belief system. Hinduism does not require blind faith and leaves itself open for us to explore. It is more of a way of life.

You probably had a heart attack watching this then… so lucky she got out safely

Better than me. It surprised me and I said a dirty word. Luckily my kids weren't around but the dog gave me the side eye lol.

I know, right? There I was, minding my own business about 4 years ago, when this video of a guy carving up all these cows' hooves and explaining it as he goes, and BAM! I'm hooked and watch video after video after video ... and the guy gets more and more fans and more and more YT success and helps more and more hoof trimmers do their jobs better...! Just wild -- and i wouldn't have missed a minute of it. Enjoy!

Hi......I'm female & 70yo...... from AUSTRALIA....love your show! Hope the farmers appreciate all you do for their girls.......& boys!!!

Oh god me too-it's ridiculous! 🤣

I must say I thought the exact same when watching my first video a while back but its not just trimming hoofs. It's the guys doing it and it's just a fascinating watch. I know I may sound silly buy I had no idea you had to do all this to cows hoofs until I started watching these videos

The Hood GP 💯🥷😈

Fantastic rescue 👏👏👏

Great thinking. I hope the steer was okay.👍🏻🙂❤🐂

Necessity is the mother of invention! Good for you!

@@westzed23 He was actually fine after his swelling went down.

@@silvrfox2uBooboo Thank you, I think I actually impressed my hands (workers) when they got back from lunch. I use that panel for a round pen for my horses today. Every now and then, I look at that bowed bar and smile:-)

In the wild they would walk on rocks and other hard surfaces you find in natural terrain. And they were much more active to avoid predators. Thus their hooves would wear down on their own. The same goes for horses!

@@yasmineh.1333 They don't have paved roads for cows (or any animal). They're on natural/Virgin land, so the type of soil would be different, do to the area they were native to like Spain with a lot of sand. Cows and Horses don't do really well in rocky areas from what I've seen. So... sand is abrasive but not a lot of grass growing in sandy areas.
