Yes prevention is better than cure ! They can't tell you their hooves ar hurting ! Their health is a prime factor in your industry. As an animal lover thank you for looking so well after those ladies !

[@TheVespap200e]

Thanks Piet! I had no idea how much work goes into looking after your dairy herd. Every time I buy a 4 liter milk at the store I think of you.

Piet, a good way to locate in floor water lines is to use infrared thermometer. just waite for cool day and concrete should be warmer the closer you are to water line

Thanks! It would take some time to do a large area, but it would be an option.

[@vincentdevos8982]

A nice contraption to make the cows comfortable for their pedicure !

Best trimmer i worked with used a pair of Bull nose or End cutter pliers, it was quiet, did not bother the cows.

As always, I learn something new here! Thank you.

If you apply a little pressure he'll probably let you film an interview. 😁

That's a nice shoot. We used to trim cows while standing back in the day, but when they start kicking it's not a fun job. Great content, thank you,

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

Thank you!

Awesome video. Yea cows are not known to be side sleepers. 🙄 lol

[@bobjohnson1710]

Yeah, I'm with you on leaving certain cow ailments to other KZbin channels! There are plenty of channels that specialize in that sort of stuff already! How about doing a video on training a new heifer on how to enter the milking parlor and be milked. I'm interested in seeing how intelligent cows are and how quickly they pick up the routine of being milked multiple times a day. Is it fairly common to have to use physical force on a new heifer to get her to line up correctly in the stall?

[@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047]

It's not uncommon to have to help push her into place the first time or two. Typically, after they figure out what happens in the parlor, they will get comfortable with entering the parlor.

3:10 Maybe he should start a channel like the hoof GP youtube.com/@TheHoofGP His channel is mainly about how to treat a bad hoof to good again

[@johngreydanus2033]

I've seen his work, different style of chute, matter of choice I guess.
