trimming an ELEPHANTS FOOT!? | The Hoof GP 

... seriously?

Lol what?

WTF lol

are we not allowed to dye our hair anymore? people do it all the time. Also some people cant stand gray hair. Also i guessing nobody is allowed to have dark hair anymore? Either way, i feel bad for the hoof gp because he has to deal with hooligans like you.

stroll troll...

Brilliant :)

Your daughter caused a lego to bleed?

🤣

@@justmeunicorn No . It was the floor that bled.

So satyrs are watching RU-vid?

... i don't understand the fascination either ... but yet here I am ... 9 years after trimming my first cow 😆😅

The Hoof GP does turpentine harden cow hoofs like it does horse hoofs?

Same

Ghmlyn Ujj lolook

That was we tonight! Haha I’m like 5 videos in now

💯

I was coming here to say the same thing, I love these people❤

Ever had a freeze burn? Not nice.

@@21DazzlerA helluva lot better than getting burned with fire...

​@@SilverFlame819 Fire or ice burn about the same amount of pain.

Me too, Maryjane!

Yeah. I was quite surprised to learn that even biological farms take the young cows away from their mothers after weeks or even days….

Hannah I'm glad I wasn't the only one .Lol

🤣🤣🤣

I thought his reputation has spread and he's been Commissioned by a zoo. Still doesn't seem at all unreasonable. Anyone that has seen the vids can tell what a caring decent bloke his is so hardly a stretch of the imagination. I was wondering what they were going to use for a Crush though! :0)

Me too 😂😂

Hannah Laxton me too lol 😂

Only till they become a veal chop as mommas milk makes their meat more tender hope that doesn’t upset anyone

@@billprezioso3677 shouldn't upset anyone who eats meat ... most meat is from young animals

@@billprezioso3677 yeah I’m not so sure you can call killing animals a bit later than usual ethical

@@Artemisdianaxxx I didn’t say killing any animal is ethical just stating a fact I used to work on a dairy farm and quit because I could never get used to seeing young calves carted off for slaughter

Been a vegan since 1972. Proud and healthy.

He probably came back as a bullfrog.

@@jamescameron3522 You felt the need to share this, why?

Sweet story. Thanks for sharing.✌🏼

S Burch why did you feel the need to share your first comment lol

@@NoRespectCDH Touche

I'm not a farmer, have no direct contact with farm animals, and yet I watch his videos a lot.

Same here 😂😂

Make that 4 of us LoL

I'm in there too. That glue must dry pretty quick.

Right there wit ya 🤣

Their stables also look always clean with fresh shavings to lie in. Honestly, that should be common practise for every farm.

keeping calves with their dams isn't an indicator a farm is any better than those that seperate, jsyk! it's done at birth before any bonding, so there's no seperation distress. it's a really good way to keep track of calf heath, make sure they get colostrum and enough feed, and prevent disease spread. once old enough, they do usually rejoin the adult cows in the herd. some farms seperate, and others (like this video) don't. there's pros and cons either way! dairy cows particularly Holsteins tens to reject calves anyway, so it's usually safer on holstein-dominated farms to seperate.

@Geekn Z I'd believe it!

@Geekn Z and the more milk they produce too!

@@SaintNevermore I respectfully disagree. I grew up in a farm myself and we often had to take stillborn calves away from their dams. They were very distressed and some of them we even had to separate from the herd because they tried to steal other calves from their mothers. Cows are very maternal animals, there's always a certain amount of distress when you separate.

Four days?! I grew up in a rural area of Canada where we mostly have beef cows, and they have their babies with them for several months usually. It would be awful to see them separated that soon.

I grew up next a cow farm, not sure if it was a dairy farm or not, they usally took the calves away if the mother wasn't letting it nurse, sometimes the mommas would get really violent towards their babies. Sad to see, but I did get to feed a baby calf because of it.

My godparents run a dairy farm and I’m pretty sure they separate the babies immediately. They’re technically in the same building until they’re due to have calves of their own but it’s still really sad

I keep thinking the same thing with every video.

Is it just me because I just want to bathe the cows 🤣

Fuck that I'll work in any situation 😂 it's only cow shit

SAME when he gets out the grinder or whatever I’m like oh my gosh it’s going to be so dirty LOL I love dirt and everything I just think about this every time he goes to sand it down or whatever LOL

@@thickgirlsneedlove2190 Nobody said they wouldn’t work in it they just said that they would be neat about it! I’m not saying that he is not need about it because he is but what their saying is that they would like to clean off the foot first and then do it

True true I thought it was a elephant :3

Right! I was low key disappointed

Elephants don't have hooves

@@r.brandt2246 For real. Why do they think they would need that ? 😅🤣

@@r.brandt2246 I believe they do or at least a member of all hoofed animals. It may look different but cows look different to horses. Camels, hippos,giraffes as well as deer,sheep and goats do also of course. Please let me know if you check and find out I am wrong, thanks. These are not the only animals with hooves, just my quick list to show how different they can be to each other.

Wtf

Naw. Probably not.

Hell yeah

@@TANKPOETRY Yes.

He gonna slay 💅

I was just thinking maybe that’s why the ice cream is so good... happy dairy cows, better milk?🤷🏼‍♀️

@@bayleighc.5843 more truth to that than you think. It's actually been proven that stressed cows produce sour milk. Happier cows, higher quality cow juice. Of course, most factory farms achieve the same thing with Copious amounts of drugs

@@ethanmurray5001 cow juice?? Best thing ive ever heard

Factory farms are fucking dens of evil!

I don't think there's such a thing as a "happy cow" because the cows still have to be pregnant to produce milk and the male babies get killed in 99% of situations (or sold somewhere else, but most likely for meat), so by buying milk you still support the meat industry and I honestly just don't want to be a part of that

Our beef farm kept them with their mums until they are 12 months then we sold, weaned at 8moths, beef and diary cows develop different though

So am i . I live within surrounding farmland and to hear cows at night crying for there young is heartbreaking

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😝😝

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

😂😂😂 bless her

Out of the mouth of babes...😊

Scotland is BEAUTIFUL! And, it has a history so old. People are kind and warm too.

I laughed out loud.

Jim Bame n just tag hjnh

In this crush, probably wouldn't do too much harm, maybe? But in the old Wopa, im sure you're right

As a Black Angus rancher I can tell you that I've met more crazy cows than crazy bulls 😂

@@Person-ej8vd amen to that! It’s always the cows you gotta be careful around, especially in the chute

Yes, all animals can be gentle if they so wish. Bulls are not feral, out of control creatures, they’re just cattle.

it could trust me it could

I love that he takes the time to explain the what and whys of his work. He should be an instructor!

I know! When I look at the new cow I'm like okay white line = good trim & block

My family is also Scottish on my dads side. PA Dutch on my moms. But Scotland is on my bucket list to visit. Looks gorgeous.

My hubby loves it, but at times it can be hard to find in the English shops at times.

Good for you!!!!

There are a lot of benefits to the system on this farm, not least for the cow and calf welfare, it has advantages with calf health, growth rate and costs too. Bear in mind this is an organic farm and there is a large saving on calf feeding costs to balance against the loss of milk yield from keeping the calves at foot until they wean.

Need that!!!

Lol

Thats some targetted advertising right there 😂

That is hilarious.

I could use one of those!!🤣

I like that farm too and I could just tell that the ice cream is the creamiest and freshest heh, heh.

It would of melted before he got home 😉

Actually leaving the calves with their mothers could be considered unethical. The reason the calves are separated is that they can be injured or killed while milling with the full grown cows. You have to be extremely careful if you don't separate them and it is often better to separate them for their safety.

Plural wives??

You got almost same profile picture😂

I was thinking their flooring was horrible for them as well!

It’s not really. Better than stones and they get good grip in it if you have the concrete notched

Why is the floor always full of 💩

@@SPLLITZISTAKEN cause cows shit like a lot and also not enough cleaning but even then cows shit a lot

@@SPLLITZISTAKEN why has your toilet been shit in?

and i was like (pardon for my ignorance) , elephant have hoof??

@@nanadapricot2952 idk if they’re technically classified as a hoof but their foot care maintenance is very similar to that of a horse!

@@k_pufflz ohhh ,i ve seen the way they take care of the horse's foot care!

I was expecting the "Elephants Foot" in Chernobyl XD

IT IS CALLED CLICKBAIT

CURSES!!! They don't ship outside the UK!!!! :(

@@howellherrin5909 I know, right! Yet another reason why the UK is better than the US.

Hey @The Hoof GP! There is another wonderful youtuber names “Sandi Brock” and I think she could use advice on good tools and how to care for sheep’s feet. She has had a bit of a struggle with the right schedule and good tools that will last through a large amount of sheep. Sadly her sheep’s toes got very out of control on certain breeds. Hopefully you can send her a message and suggest some stuff. Thank you.

Boo boo I love ice cream.

I can't believe you didn't take any home for the boys! You're a meanie Graeme. Lol

Agreed. My favorite grass-fed, organic lovely dairy here in the states does too - they have a customer forever!

That is knormalu

Is this supposed to be bad? (I just started my spree of watching these vids)

Bagpipes are great! They literally make me weepy. They soothe my soul. Lol.

He must've not seen you as a threat, being that young. Must have been a cute sight to see.

When I was kid, my dad used to manage a farm where we had beef cattle, at around age 4 I 'vanished' one day they could not find me anywhere, bearing in mind we had grain pits, silage pits and slurry lagoons, they must have been frantic. Then my dad noticed all the cows stood in a circle in the middle of a field, which was unusual as normally they are spread out grazing or lying chewing cud, he went over and I was in the middle of them, getting licked all over, they parted as my dad gently made his way through and picked me up. To be honest I was probably in no danger, unless they got spooked by something, cows are VERY gentle, inquisitive and for the most part safe. We also used to sit on the backs of the bullocks, in the yard never ever fell off or had a problem with them, used to put a bit of corn in their trough dad would lift us up and stand there stroking them whilst we just sat there stroking them. I love cows, and the way this farm manages its cows and calves is actually quite amazing, sacrificing part of their yield for the calves benefit is very unusual but it also gives the calves the best possible start and I bet they have near zero mastitis problems, because of this. And that bull is a sweetheart, though I bet he changes a little bit when he is working, being, kind, calm and respectful of the animals ALWAYS pays off, in kind, calm and respectful animals in return, being nasty or cruel to or with them never pays, is counterproductive and says a lot about the management of a farm. The places that you go, seem to have nailed this perfectly but I suspect you would not be wanting to be associated with those kind of places anyway, regardless of your love of making animals well and comfortable, some places make this not worth the effort.

I think we all want to feel a Brahman hump

😂🤣😅 I know what you mean! All my uncles & aunts had farms! We were the city folk.

@@johndawkes7339 that's a lovely story :). I really like this farm too
