I've known meat cows (and this looks like one) who would stay so far from their owners and show so little signs that they could get pretty bad off before they'd allow someone to approach them. Could be something like that. But honestly if you connect with your animals, no matter what their purpose, it is so much easier on both you and the animal to take care of them properly. At least she's cared for now.
Bless your heart for calling it an emergency. It started months before you got to her! Thanks for the great video. Shame on the owner. All they have to do is call you sooner! I was the herdsman on a 1,000 cow dairy...this didn't just happen overnight as we say.
I feel so bad for this poor cow because it looks like it has been infected for a long time. The cow can't tell anyone what hurts so it can get taken care of sooner. I really applaud this person for being gentle and for doing a deeper cleaning than originally planned. Blessings to you and yours, stay safe, cheers. 😊
@@coleengogerty3852 Nailed It! This is true even the man treating the cow’s hooves said so, there is no denying it . Really felt so sorry for the cow. Shame on the cow’s owner. I bet if his feet hurt he’d do something about it right away!
Being gentle? Hah! He was very aggressive! He needs to watch the Hoof GP & others & learn from them! And sharpen his dang tools! And go slower with his tools!
I used to work on a dairy when i was young and honestly i never saw any good care for the bovine’s, i vowed never to work with animals again unless they were mine. Love to see those beautiful creatures being cared for❤
This is just something that happens. When you have thousands of head of cattle, that do a whole lot of standing around, things like this can go unnoticed. I wouldn't automatically assume neglect. Perhaps they need better ranch hands, but not sure it's intentional neglect.
You certainly get to handle some severe cases. Glad you will be helping reverse the infection,improve balance, and the cow will have a better chance. One hoof trimmer said cows can be in places were they are not noticed, sometimes deliberately hide out, certainly more so if they feel vulnerable, as from poor feet. Have also personally noted that sometimes a really severe condition can settle in in a very short time. Good this cow was noticed and you were called.
The negativity is for those who clearly neglected this animal for it to get to this point. If you watch other hoof workers you know animals are seen to way before the poor creature has to endure what this animal did.
Neglecting close care is the same as any other neglect , unless its from an enormous herd that only gets a through check once a year , then there is no reason for this. But thank you for helping her , at least someone cared .
Hoof grows at about 2 inches per year. If he cut off 6 inches of hoof, that cow had been suffering for about 3 years. For a dairy cow, that is about half it's life.
Bless you guys so very much for sharing your works with the people,these animals need you and so do the people,you guys deserve special blessings and good pay for what you do, look thanks again,Jesus bless you guys and keep you guys safe in these last of days Amen!
Poor girl, she will feel so much better now that you have all gone to give her treatment and share this with us. Thank you gentlemen and I look forward to seeing her progress. 🙏❤️🇦🇺🇧🇷
Oh god…This poor beautiful lady 🐂 must have been in agony. 🥲 We hope you will show us her progress each time you visit until she’s fully restored to full health again.🙏 Thank you so much for taking care of her as she deserves nothing less, than to be cared for worthily.🐂💕 Please don’t make excuses for the farmer…this was absolute neglect. 😡 If a Farmer here in the UK allowed his cattle to get like this…he would be incarcerated!
This is sooo crucial to treat an animal like this. The pain must be unbearable for this cow and for how long. It looks sooo infected. Thank you for taking care of his discomfort.
I hope you pass this on please get this man to watch the Hoof GP and he will learn the latest techniques and it would help this cow and many more in the area
You do real8ze, don't you, that the economies of the different countries may very well dictate what this fella has available for equipment. And I don't see any sponsorship like The Hoof GP has.
Just tring to help him and the animals I learn a lot of techniques just from watching videos yours included and it doesn’t hurt or cost to watch yes these guy you film do a great job. But always a way to make it easier and better have a great day keep up the good work
You need to watch the "Hoof GP" Graeme Parker from Scotland. He can show you exactly how to maintain cows hooves. He's also very meticulous " clean"the way he keeps all his equipment and takes excellent care on a regular basis of all the farmers cows 🐄
@@willielongbotham7156 This program is from Brasil. If you pay attention you can see the flag in the sleeve of the who is fixing the cow’s hoofs. Plus he speaks Portuguese
@aliciaolague1390 You are confused, I made no comment on this video, I only commented on the view regardlng the quality of care provided by The Hoof G P Parker? Scotland ?...
Was thinking the same. Cows are totally different to othr animals. Looks like digital dermatitis and other issues,it takes a lot to make cows hurt and you need to be careful with how you trim them
I am amazed how well this poor creature is walking! It looks like you’ve done your best to help this animal. Have a good recovery. Now the cows own immune system and time will tell.
@@cheribrodeur9928 It’s not about how many others have raised, it’s about the complete lack of care. If you make $$ off these animals, they need to be cared for! If you can’t offer even the minimum of care, don’t have the animal(s).
Please wear a respirator for this work, or at the very least a mask when using the grinder. Save yourself from major health issues later on... good job helping this girl!
I only watched it after I found out that the animal was anesthetized . Congratulations , it was a beautiful job . A hug from here in the state of Minas Gerais . Brazil .
You are amazing , not only for the professionalism you show, but also all of the explanations for everything included in your operations. The questions are answered before we even ask them. Ignore those disgruntled people who don’t even try to word things in a respectful manner. You know to expect it though, right? Right!
Salt is a natural antibiotic and so I would imagine that even the most stubborn cow would stand for a few minutes in a bath of warm salt water in order to eliminate bacteria. I suggest that a salt bath be done inside a barn and away from any grassland because salt does kill grass. The health of the cow would be much better if it is shepherded through a warm salt bath, covering to ankle deep, at least every week.
This girl was in desperate need of help; she was in danger of dying!! I’ve watched the Scottish gentleman many times, and this man’s treatment was very similar, I thought. The hoof was trimmed, cleaned, medicated and bandaged, and no matter how or why it happened, it was a “wait and see” situation regardless of who did the hoof care. It appears she got better, and That’s the most important thing. Best Wishes to all!!🐴💖
It DEFINITELY is the owner's fault!!!! If you don't have the time or money to take care of your animals.... sell them (or give them) to someone who does!!!
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic just watch him. He’s known to give away tools and his own brand of knives and also a top notch crush or 2! You won’t know if you don’t watch!
I'm glad they are addressing it. The cow seemed relieved and thankful. I wonder how much longer it could have gone on before it turned fatal? 🤔 Better late than never. But never late is better. Let's tighten up, guys. 🦾💯
@@margaretflounders8510 he used a grinder in this very video. And I'm sure the man has some smaller snips. He is a professional ferrier afterall. He was using the big ones because of the sheer amount of hoof he was removing.
I would like to have a chat with the owners that allowed this to let this get so far along. Cattle have far different feet/hooves than horses. This old girl isn't complaining a bit as this is going on.
What did they do wrong ? HGP uses nippers at times, even did a video just with nippers. He also started with a crush like this and it's widely used all over the world. He himself has addressed this very thing. Maybe watch more of his videos not just shorts
It really sickens me every time I see any animal dog,cat horse cow in any kind of pain or terrified because of what some horrible human/owner did to them.Animals love more than most humans.ALL LIVES MATTER!!!
To check up on this cow after 30-40 days is negligent. If you guys really have such hot & humid weather there you are supposed to check it more frequently (like after 2 weeks) - if you would care about the wellbeing of the cattle ...
When you have animals, whether it’s one animal or 1000 animals , you are supposed too give it what it needs every day and give it care everyday, you are supposed too do a well check everyday or every other day at least
You certainly know what youre doing..she must be feeling much less pain and is healing. Poor dear lady she was suffering hard. Glad you tòok great care of her
It ain’t important what leaded to this, you need to give the dude probz about how he took care of this. I bet there is no general vet doc who could have done better than this. Great work. This is animal care at its best. ❤❤❤
Disgusting too see this that was rotten that hoof lessons could be learnt too minimise the suffering this animal experienced should check there animals more frequently that would solve this problem bless it
The people that acted in such a neglectful manner need to be held criminally liable. This is so outrageous !!! It is insulting to hear you defending the owners.... It IS their fault ..the animal IS in their charge....
How can you say you can’t blame the farmer. It’s o lions that the hoof was a problem. Even to someone who knows nothing about it. If it’s can’t walk properly, there’s an obvious issue.
What is the black liquid substance you put over the bandage? This was extremely satisfying to watch and see how the cow was so much more comfortable after the treatment! Well done!
