this BABY CALF STRUGGLES TO WALK because of her HUGE HOOVES 

Lol yea-

Underrated comment ! 😅😅😅🤣🤣👍

🤣🤣🤣

FACTS!

You cannot exactly bribe a cow with a kids tv show tho xD

They ARE very sweet and cute animals!

Mine too they really are so precious. They are so good with her.

Have you ever noticed what a sweet smell cows have? The smell of a horse is both comforting and exciting. Leather, horse sweat, Rides! But, a cow just smells sweet and happy

I'm not nearly as happy when they slobber on me. But they can be such fun and in their way, very affectionate.

Its so sad how they är taken from their mothers so we can drink its milk

I've got a 5lb 7 month old puppy..... he kicks my arse every time trying to do his toenails.

Basically got to sit on them just to get them to sit still…I tried cartoons once and that worked for about 1 or 2 fingers

@@tophmcgoph9229 You have to trim them while they are asleep!

So true!😂

I feel your pain! My son was a bit of a terror at nail trimming time. What am I saying! He's 16 and still behaves poorly. I had to squeeze his leg between knees to trim his toenails. For fingernails the trick was tucking his arm under mine and pinning it to my ribs as tight as possible. May the odds be ever in your favor.

You must be familiar with huskies

YESSSS👍🏼. Your absolutely correct.

Or, my dogs 🐕 🐕

I had a lab mix who thought his skin would off if he got wet. Took me fully clothed sitting on top of him in the tub to bathe him....his whole freaking life!

I am a groomer, I can relate 😭. Some of these dogs are abhorrent and people just expect us to deal with it. No thanks. But calf’s first hoof trim was adorable and somehow relatable all at the same time 😅

If you are getting that messed up, I'm afraid you might be doing something wrong....

@@jessicapitt4496Have you ever wrestled a calf? 😊 I’m hoping this one doesn’t always have a problem with her hoofs. She’s being really calm considering.

Yep. Humans gonna human. Some things are universal. My best example is Mom Voice. Had a passenger on the ship I work on reprimand her kid in Hindi. Don't know a lick of that language, and still know what she was saying. Specifically something along the lines of "do that again and see what happens".

It's not tho? I've never heard it before from anyone I've met, and all of my "stop that" signals for my pets are hissing, clapping, or stomping (I tend to stick to non-verbals, especially for animals). Just a quick noise to get their attention followed quickly by a distraction; "don't do that, do this instead." I've only ever heard "ahht" in this video

@@ShortForMertchel Idk where you’re from but I hear it all the time in the south.

@@amberlytownsend2856 I don't doubt that, I'm sure it's really common in more than just the south. I'm not trying to say it never happens or is umcommon, I'm just objecting to the idea that this behavior is universal. The world is a really a really big place, it's impossible for most behaviors to manifest in every human being.

I only ever heard it for cows specifically.

Im a vet nurse and when i tell you, we regularly need 2 or 3 people to hold down just 1 cat... theyre incredibly strong and need to be held DOWN for their own safety (and everybody else's) 😂

🐄👶 🐈‍⬛🧨🗡🔪💣🪓🗯⚔️☠️🪦

Cats are liquid, so it's difficult to hold them down in any way that's comfortable 😂

@@tavrosnitram1529 there was actually a book called Cats Are A Liquid. In physics, one of the properties of a liquid is that it takes the shape of the container it’s in. Someone actually based their thesis on the idea and made an advancement in physics.

@@christinamann3640 😳 That's awesome.

Yet are destined to be repeatedly milked and bred then sent to slaughter at only 6-7 years old because their milk production drops. Full life of a cow is 20-30 years, but old cows are useless because they can no longer produce enough milk.

Yes, me too😊👍🏻

Makes for some clean burgers, huh? 😏

@@apriljohnson421 pretty sure these are dairy cows, Holstein if I remember correctly

I was thinking the same! Looks like she just got detailed!

Yes this looks clean and comfy. These are Holstein dairy cattle. Sometimes made into hamburger at the end of their life.

The neurobiological markers of emotions in humans are mostly things that are universal or extremely common across all mammals, and sometimes all vertebrates. So it's more scientifically plausible that they do feel emotions like us than that they don't.

Oh, they definitely have friends. I had two cats who grew up together, and the female recently passed away. The male kept coming up to me and using his begging trick I taught him and he started using whenever he wanted help from me. I believe he was asking me to bring her back. He also never once used the cat tree until she passed, but now he climbs up and sits beside the basket she slept in, his paws resting on the edge.

But all dairy cattle are used for is their milk. They only live a few years then are sent to slaughter when their milk yield drops. Bred, milked, bred, milked... Calves are mostly taken from their mothers just after birth. Majority of males are slaughtered for veal within a few months.

We use to flip our donkey (rip Oscar) to do his feet. He had some issue from previous owners that caused his hooves to grow and twist. He was brutal to deal with so he got knocked over and cleaned up, but was always soaked with sweat and pissed. People would think it’s rough, but they need to see how horses treat each other. Kicking each other with kicks that would kill a human. Pain to them is a totally different animal, pun intended.

Absolutely true! Also, if he would handle her softer/more gentle, there's a good chance of her hurting herself or them.

Truth is if these critics would discipline their kids with the same kind of "for your own good" parenting, we'd have a lot fewer lame adult humans.

When he brought up the grinder and no glove, I was just like “Yep, grinders are safer without gloves on”. If they catch, call your hand broken like a twig. (Or just gone)

It's the standard way for handling humans who have any kind of predisposition for hurting themselves or others as well. Either restraining them standing or laying down.

It's the idiotic vegans and the snowflakes who will be outraged for no reason or for reasons they have no clue about.

I was thinking the same thing. He answered every question I had.

Please!

Please

Yes indeed! We should also know if she has a name - or at least her number. Graehm’s long term care series of special cows (like 812, Gracie) are some of my favorite things to watch, because one can see the changes over time. Did I hear correctly, her being called Samaritan?

Maybe he could do an online poll to name her??

@@patpierce4854 I think he said her name is Samaritan

Definitely better behaved than my 14 year old Labrador-Wolfdog, she absolutely hates her nails trimmed and it takes the whole household to deal with her, it's basically a warzone. Thankfully I only have to do it once a month and she gets tons of treats and love after.

Pug nail trimmings in a different league…and a different noise level 🫣🙉🙉🙉

Omg, my pug is so difficult for nail trims that we have to take him to a groomer or vet to have it done. We cannot do it ourselves, he does not let us. He’s much better behaved for professionals though, especially if we aren’t present while he’s being trimmed.

And much quieter

The pug scream is a real thing

Farmers taking care of there animals is seen very often, you just have to know what you're looking at.

There is no way 4 hooves of a CALF were trimmed in 15 minutes!😄

@Howdare Yuu she is too young to be tranquilized

​@elizabethchancellor8183 She wasn't tranquilized. I think you need to watch the video again and LISTEN to what he says about how they are working with and on her. Also, if she was, they wouldn't have needed to hold, sit, tie, restrain, talk to or get her to quit fighting them. Think about it....

Heck its not even for them but for the animal's well being and life, you can easily figure out who doesn't appreaciate animals for all we get from them

Especially considering how he seem to genuinely care about the animals.

They are called Idiots

@@nutrysahugo4417 people dont need to be idiots to be out of touch with how real world works. But yeah some are.

Hey for some of us IDIOTS out there my cat takes care of her own paws.. The dog getting walked on the sidewalk gets most of trimming done but did have to do a clip or two a year on my Rottie. As for Horses that wear shoes we know furriers take care of them usually race or sulky but wild no never thought about it cause they have been running free centuries in parts of the world. He explains as he goes sort of familiar because as a Nurse and EMT when I moved to a new city I was looking for a job I wanted. Turned out new hubbys Lab was due to drop a litter. New Years Day any clue how hard it is to get said hubby and Male Vet to understand puppies are not popping out and Mom has been in labor a long time ??? Finally said sorry you put me off this morning with call about the end of the pregame show, then call at the first quarter.. Well bud now it's half time and meconium green sack is all I have seen so see you at the clinic.. Oh yes you are coming she's your dog ! Acting as a surgical scrub nurse for a canine c-section was interesting. Same basic meds just needed to know dose.. Turnes out the Puppy twice the size of everyone else wanted out first sideways yep a big boy who thought he ran the show. Took home Mom and ALL 8 puppies and Tank wasn't the worst a sweet little girl named Houdini was. She lead the charge at every turn escape artist extraordinaire. Sleeping peacefully only to waken to a pitiful howl at the bedroom door and the little witch had lead the entire troop thru the house... Past the kiddie gates, the card table on it's side, the kitchen chair barricade she showed everyone the new living room area rug.. The one the all pooped and piddled.. Then she taught herself stairs and while a few tried to follow she managed them all finding the toilet paper in the bathroom dogs use teeth to shred the cats paws mostly so instead of loosing a half to full inch lost the whole roll and. The dowl holding it had to be sanded too.. Point is not everyone is dumb to where things that come to the table come from. We ask it not be artificially swollen with salt water because that just ruins my ankles.. They not be on their death bead diseases when butchered so we won't get sick too and I personally wish they were treated humanely even loved. Because I personally held a dying kitten as a kid one I had to buy borrowing money from the other 9 & 10 yr olds I was out playing with. Only to have it take it's last breath in my hands. Fought like hell with the bus driver that I was getting on the bus with it too buired it in the back yard with all the other loved pets over the years.. Then took Dad's lecture punctuated with grandpa's Razor Strop welting to get the couple dollars advance on my allowance to pay my friends back with. I made a vow nothing in my ability to reach would ever die alone, unloved and forgotten. That what the kitten was, all my Mr. That kitty's sick got me shoved away with either buy it or ignore it but it's not your right to worry about unless you buy it. I spent years as a EMT never loosing a patient that didn't know I was fighting like hell for them. Lost jobs in nursing homes for singing a hymn or reading a bible verse to the granny the family decided to starve and dehydrate to death because it was easier.. Well washing them and gently wiping the salt off isn't a nice way for a old woman to go to whatever her next plane was but she had myself and two friends watching over her that last 6 days.. She went with a We love you and thank you for the lessons we learned... Her hand held but not alone. So yea I may be a IDIOT at the grocery store but I pray for the Animal that keeps me healthy the farmer that raised it and whomever had the task for taking it's life. For me. Kinda how I pray to God for sending His Lamb to die for me. Maybe I don't knowvif Jesus had a cut on his foot, or other hurt before the flogging to the cross but I do know that His Soul protects me because he gave it just as that calf will someday give herself and her young to sustain us.. Am I really such a idiot to be mocked by your superior knowledge of farming and livestock ? Then I humbly say I pitty those that don't take time to understand. Be they City or Country, US or UK, island or continent, advanced educated or like me never finished 9th grade. Trade school only as I could pay my way and raise my son. You see I didn't discard him either. Now hair gowing pinkish grey cause sorry redheads never go silver gracefully. Stooped and unsteady because Multiple Sclerosis isn't picky about what it robs you nevers of it just leaves dead spots or electrical shortages in its wake. So this idiot will go and find a spot I am not such a idiot on.

They probably think they’re next

@Tomas Javks I’m pretty sure seeing on of their own be cut up by another animal and perhaps the sent of a decaying carcass would atleast stress them out a little bit. Then again most animals are extremely dumb. It just doesn’t seem right that a cow that they’ve been around since the were alive is laying down on the ground dead and them not even showing any emotion. Their brains aren’t wired that way I guess. Edit: I thought this video was something different when a girl butchered a cow infront of the others not even 5 meters away.

They are saying "Thank the Lord this is not happening to me! Poor Cyril (or whatever name the calf in question may have)_ :))))

Perfect description, @Wise Woman 🙂

AGREED! My wife and I have been watching some of these videos this evening, and we are both AMAZED at the wonderful work being done to help these poor animals. It makes us very happy to know there are good people like this in the world who do kind work like they do!

I have no idea how many times I trimmed my dogs nails over her life, but every single time, she was afraid and didn't like it. She had started to adjust to it, until we had her groomed one day... the groomer nicked 2 of her nails too short, and she never, ever forgot about it.

Perfectly said!

@@scottcantdance804 I'm so sorry you had that experience with a groomer, dogs definitely don't forget when something causes them pain and it sucks you had them well adjusted to it just for a groomer to ruin that progress forever. Hopefully it was only because your dog may have moved in the middle of them trimming a nail due to not being used to the environment for the sake of all the animals who get seen by that groomer. But I'm sorry for your dog regardless.

Amen, Dean!

It's the same with a little kid in the dentist, he'll be crying and shouting but the dentist is still trying to help the little kid.

@@tobiasL1991 I was thinking this same thing. I feel so mean as a parent sometimes. But I once read that being a good parent means you have to be willing to feel like the meanest person in the world sometimes

Sometimes people become attuned to unnecessarily harsh handling too though - (this isn't the case here) but certainly lots of normalised brutality in husbandry that is gradually lessening with better machinery, greater access to vet services and positive reinforcement training.

I have a friend who grew up in the city never owned any pets and when he got his first cat he was mortified that I scruffed it and held it upside down while I inspected a lump under its chin(it popped while I was looking at it turned out to be an abscess). He thought that was the cruellest thing he ever saw and I told him how do you think mom cats carried their young. It’s not being mean and it doesn’t hurt them and it is an easy way to control a cat as it almost relaxes and generally stays still until you release them. The irony was he took his cat in the next day to the vet and she did the exact same thing I had done which shocked him even more. Sadly it’s the world we live in today.

Exactly what I thought!!

Good analogy!

Exactly 🤣

💗😂🔥

@Keith Sargent they are I used to walk the cows to my family’s dairy for pocket money with my arm around the neck of my fave cow she loved it!

lol Beginning: "Weird weird weird!" End: "This feels kinda cool, actually."

Aye

I noticed that too!!

Love that accent.

I noticed that too!

Accent? Hell, the brogue is what killed me!

His kids should start using that term 😄

@Kate Haggard Moo-nicurist...I love that!

Moo-nicurist 😂 I'm dead 😂😂😂😂😂

I just started watching this channel in July and the first 2 weeks or so GP was a bit hard to understand however, as time has passed, my understanding has improved. With this video I am glad he put in the subtitles though. I sure hope the calf turns out alright and that GP keeps us updated.

Trimming the average Toddler's nails requires 2 NFL Players and the Parent all equipped with Industrial Grade Hearing Protection... 1 NFL Player holds the Toddler's body, the other holds the ankle being trimmed and the parent does the actual trimming... Or so I've been told...I've never had Toddler's of my own or been sufficiently Insane as to try caring for one that isn't mine (voluntarily or not)...

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan 🤣🤣🤣

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan it's actually pretty easy if you start very young (usually just filing for baby nails) and are very careful (cuz ofc theyll remember the one time you went a liiiiittle too far, forevermore 😅). Just like pups and kits, starting early makes it commonplace for them!

My cat is like 10 lbs and he requires two adults holding him down as i clip his claws. It's my fault for not getting him used to it as a baby, but i wish i could make him know it's for his own good, and that it'd be better if he cooperated!

@@nightmaregirl06 One of my cats used to just play the "no thank you" game. Not struggling, she'd just pull away politely and stubbornly. The other, until we got him used to it, was a bit of a rodeo. If they didn't fight me, I could (safely) get their nails done in less than 3 minutes

Lol....I was thinking the same thing

We had an eight pound cat that required the kitty burrito whenever we had to hold her down for cleaning or medicine, and she’d still get loose.

@@nightmaregirl06 bro why you clip the claws of your cat..... She should use them on a clawing tree or something

You could buy the eggs that come in a carton.

@@brent5832 well, yes, but the metaphor

@@brent5832 John Longs comment has nothing to do with the egg carton, he is saying that in order to make an omelette, one must break the eggs to do it. Now do you understand?

True! Couldnt have put it better myself! Kids, pets or plants… sometimes in order to help loved ones improve, we must be a bit cruel. Like when you bathe a feverish child in cold water, when you forcefeed medication to a cat or when you trim a tree to help it grow stronger. Yeap. Maybe Painful/uncomfortable but totally Necessary.

@@brent5832 Doesn't matter who breaks the eggs; eggs still must be broken.

The ONLY reason to wear a gloves is to protect YOURSELF from caustic substances or heat. Anything else is dangerous. They don't even wear gloves in food service because all gloves do is spread around bacteria. People don't wash gloves, but they do wash their hands.

@burningfeet 53 don't be creepy.

Thank you @burningfeet 53

It may depend on the situation. As you said, he's been doing this a while. PPE can get in the way, which means weighing the risks.

how come in your pic you do not have on proper safety Glasses ?

@burningfeet 53 thanks

You're more qualified than most of us here! LOL I didn't grow up on a farm but had many friends who did, plus I almost became a farm wife. Not sure how I ended up on this channel, but I love it to bits. Graeme is a true angel for the cows he treats!

@@josi4251 Watching him I feel like I study so much and know absolutely nothing because he is just so great at it, it's amazing.

I imagine in Zimbabwe the cattle look after their own feet pretty well? Much drier environment, less time indoors? Less joint ill too if calving happens outside?

@@laurapagefranceys7841 It's all about experience, Laura. We learn as we go, and you'll do fine. There will be heartache for the ones you couldn't save, but the little souls you help will hopefully assuage any losses. I wish you a long and successful career and have sent up a prayer to St. Francis of Assisi and St. Martin de Porres for you. Blessings!

@LauraPageFranceys Good luck with your studies! I hope you become a wonderful Vet!!

Haha I like it

🤣🤣🤣

Amazing

“And Craig has to hold her down….”

@@jumpyspiderlady8454 but no cow ever has to frown, ‘cause the cow goes up and the toes go down.

What’s “chuffed”?

@Max Sparks Chuffed = pleased, happy, delighted. And "chuffed to bits" means VERY happy, or ecstatic.

:) The man need to be understood for a broader market. I can't think of the comedian from Edinburgh but if you listen to his early stuff, and aren't Scottish (and possibly from Edinburgh) you struggle to understand him. Dementia Edit: Billy Connelly from Glasgow.

I'm thankful for his RU-vid fancy pants voice. I tried to watch Shameless (the original) and I had no idea what they were saying. I'm glad to be able to understand him

Did anyone else read this in Graeme's voice? 😆 I realized it half way thru reading it. 😜 love hearing him talk. I was born and raised in the south. (MS) so I'm told I have the THICK southern twang. So hearing others that obviously speak so different is just awesome. And he's easy to look at too 😁 never thought watching cows getting their feet done would be a daily norm for me. But here we are. Daily. I love your videos. Til the next one. 😍

@@jenni8982 lol same. but i do think the US version is better or maybe its just because it actually makes sense to me compared to the other one. Easily one of the best shows ever made

6th

A fair number of podiatrists use a Dremel as well to even out and thin nails. In fact The Toe Bro has one that uses water to reduce the dust and heat. It’s kinda amazing how many uses there are for a Dremel!!👍

Lol I do that to my mother too!😂

i have to do that to my dad too xD he takes it like a champ

I have a messed-up nail from an old injury, and I have to do this for myself occasionally. It's not painful, but I DO find it quite uncomfortable.

I have a dodgy big toe nail that often gets a good dremmeling, very soothing

get yourself a cow.

Quit your job, go work on a farm, start to enjoy life, sleep will follow.

The same as me all the night watching this video😁

Great way to spend the evening!

The music is pretty amazing also.

I know, right? Calves at this age are still working out that humans are OK, so they're not sure what the heck is going on with a hug. I've done it with brand-new baby calves when they're being weaned, so they're like, "Are you my new mom?" So adorable. But as they get bigger, they have no idea what we're up to!

@@josi4251 that is so true, back at my great grandfather's ranch his neighbor had a cow giving birth. I watch the hole thing in excitement

He mentioned in another video that he's been doing this for a decade

@@umbragon2814 I see it shows well

@Dreamy Melody I am SO hoping for a follow-up video!

I'm with you on the thimble. I've found that electrical tape works pretty good in place of a thimble.

I agree! I'd rather deal with callouses and tender fingers than a thimble

That is why i use a leather thimble, it cuts down a bit of tactile sense but not as much as a metal thimble, and you don't sweat near as bad in them either.

It’s also safer actually. Power saws, drills, and grinders aren’t recommended for gloves to be worn. If the glove catches your hand is wrapped like a noodle on a fork, and broken into a thousand pieces of course.

Honestly, I've not got much feeling left in some of my fingertips. I think all the times I've pricked myself have damaged all the nerves

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mom: Don't make a scene. Be good for the nice hoof GP.

@Earthling x Where did you get that impression? There are dairy cows in Ohio, and as far as I've seen they aren't ripped away from their mothers forever, just so that health and maintenance care can be done. You seem a bit biased.

@Earthling x Graeme visits farms all the time that have mama and baby together in the fields. He frequently comments that "this group of cows are nervous and flighty because we had to take their babies away until they go back to field." The babies aren't safe to have around the large equipment when so much of it moves about, but many farms return their babies to their moms.
