these COW's FEET are turning to WOOD!?

These are cow legs, but they look more like twisted and twisted pieces of

wood

. This cow has a very specific problem and you are seeing the GP. She has the right to you, you don't have to be afraid anymore. I know you haven't realized. You, will join us on our journey to our six farm and what a journey it is in your arms. I will know how it feels when time passes slowly and I will not let it rush when I see you dance and the moment comes. When I fall and time goes slow today, you will join us on a farm that we have been coming to for a few years and every time we come we treat the exact same cow for the exact same problem.

Don't know. I can see that K is worried about sitting next to the CR, so the farm he's accompanying us to today is a Helm farm right on the edge of Galloway Forest, a beautiful hilly forest park here in the south-west of Scotland, and this cow is an old cow. my favorite is as easy as sitting in my chair watching, so here's a little backstory on this cow. You see, her story goes back a bit. I have trimmed cow legs here in the south west of Scotland for about 14 years and over the years I have come to have a few favourites, well that was easy, the video you are watching now is actually from about four or five years ago, that's my old reliable Nara, who is now the craigy boy, the reliable steeve, go on, that's it, that's it.

Come on, this old cow deer is known as a Herford cross, a cow whose job is to give birth and raise a healthy cow. This was my first professional cage. My first proper hoof trim. Crush the whoer 51, so when we look at a cow. So obviously this is pretty overgrown, but the cow isn't actually laying anyway, it's just uncomfortable, so when these cows are out on the hills for months at a time on soft ground, it's very, very difficult to detect that They have really grown too much. This was not the first time. I cut out old Harriet here, but as you can see, it looked like our hooves had never been touched, this is actually laminitis or chitis as it's called now, so basically the little toes that hold up this wall on the inside of the foot are they're expanding and they're causing her to go out of the way and cause this hemorrhage, let's go back to the next foot, now again, this is a really gnarly foot if you look at it, it's all bulbous and overgrown here, but again, she's not lame, She's a little uncomfortable, but other than the fact that she doesn't feel any pain, this video isn't just an excuse to take a trip down memory lane, it's a video to show that farmers take care of their cows for years and years and years and sometimes , his paws still end up looking a little crazy, I'm pretty sure his front paws are perfect, so we might as well be the moments when I fall and time goes SL, like I said before, that was four or five ago years and we are back today in 2024, be careful look how harri looks these days, thank you, you see that these guys live on very soft ground, she is not lame, she is not sore, they are just very big because she had laminitis when was younger, which basically means the inside of his foot completely expands and explodes. the hoof horn comes off the sides of her legs, so like I said, she doesn't feel any pain, she just looks a little weird, although these extremely twisted legs aren't causing any major problems for this cow, it's still very It's important to her that we get them back to the correct length, but even more important than that, we make both claws the same size;

In other words, we distribute the weight evenly between both supporting surfaces that way, she won't have pinch points, she won't suffer any bleeding, and therefore, we should be able to avoid real pain for this cow that we don't routinely cut between these legs. . Buton cows are like that, Ridge stretches too far and curves around SC to think from within today and not tomorrow. There is no time. Farrow today is a good day to live. This back left foot is forming nicely. There's not much wrong with it, other than that slight bleeding, but what really worries me is the back right foot.

I'm just not sure if I will or not. being able to bring it back to something close to what it should be. I honestly don't think I've ever trimmed a cow's hoof that reminds me more of a gnarled, twisted piece of

wood

. It's like a bar in an elm tree. It's all naughty. Twisted, contorted and distorted due to Distortion and overgrowth. I don't really know what's going on inside this hoof capsule, so I have to be very careful not to go too far in the pursuit of perfection. Now let the battle begin, it's a good day today and not tomorrow there's no time to read all these lines and here so his foot is like this inside like this and then the hoof is like this and it's supposed to fuse together like this and what What happened is that the inner tissue has become inflamed. somehow because she is sick and swollen I think that's why he does it I you don't and no tomorrow there is no today something has to do today is a good day today Andor there are no cow legs like these, it can take a big It takes a lot of time to trim them, but when you see the transformation in the end, it's usually worth it if we all take a little time and concentration to study the hoof I'm trimming right now, that is, the claw on the right, we can all see the elastic sheet aquarium that you can see. stretch marks on the horn of the hoof and these will not disappear.

These stretch marks are the exact reason I trim this cow every year. When it comes to cattle, they can usually take care of their paws perfectly without any human intervention at all, but when it comes to cases like this, our intervention is not only desired, it is absolutely crucial, believe it or not. I read every comment you guys leave on these videos and one comment I read last night might ask why I didn't do it routinely. Trim the axial wall between the toes just as I have done and am doing with this cow right now, well there is a very good reason why doing so can cause massive problems with the cow's legs;

Structural integrity can be completely diminished by doing so. It's routine, but that's not a proper answer because for a proper answer I'll need a full video that I'll make very soon. My bra is like this. Keys. These exact ornaments are those of small Scottish farms here in the heart of our beautiful countryside. where we can make a big difference in the lives of these cows is for the ones I live for and the ones I absolutely love fall through your door leave the cloes on the ground for M it's me you above all else I'm yours I'm yours do what you want with me but don't let me go you make me feel so irresponsible you make me feel so irresponsible I love this job I love this job because of the difference you can make in a few minutes I love this job because of the education you can provide to the masses and the farmers who care of these cows.

I love this job because it takes me out into the world, meeting amazing people who work in fantastic places with these amazing, beautiful creatures that give so much to us and our lives. How much this job is interesting It's evolving I'm constantly learning and that's what keeps me interested Tonight it's me You at the top of everything I'm yours I'm yours Do whatever you want with me But don't let me go You make me feel like this, make me feel like this, the grinder follows the knife, follows the grinder, follows the knife, little by little, that's how it is with

feet

like this, you have to be perfect to be perfect, I know it sounds stupid, but it's true, song lyrics that I love them, but maybe they aren't.

In this case it's not entirely true, look at that and it's new, okay, maybe they're not perfect, but they're much better than a few minutes ago. This is a functional hoop cutout. A cow should enter my cage feeling uncomfortable and leave more comfortable. It's the limits of what I can do and it's what we did here today for Harriet. Thanks for watching the Hoof GP.
