HUGE GOUGE in cow's hoof ... EXPOSING RAW CORIUM

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

My uncle is a farmer raising mostly hogs. He was a real fanatic when it came to animal health and comfort. I remember being a stupid kid and telling him that they’re all heading for the slaughter house anyways, what’s the big deal? He explained about what he called the contract men have with farm animals. Our side is we will keep you well fed, warm in the winter, cool in the summer, protected from predators, healthy and disease free. They will want for nothing. But in exchange you will feed my family. Whether that be directly or indirectly by selling. He even went as far as providing toys for them. Old balls and tires that I watched them play with. So what you provide is part of the contract. Keeping them healthy and pain free. Even though every single animal has the same fate in store. Until that time, the onus is on us to uphold our end of the contract

[@stephaniewilson3955]

The animal should have only one bad day is what good farmers think. And don't forget this is a milk cow. Bluntly, the milk yield will reduce if the cow is in pain. Treating your animals with care pays, whether in fattening hogs or milking cows you get a better yield.

[@EleanorPeterson]

I think the 'contract' idea is a bit of a conscience-soothing cop-out because any contract is entirely one directional. The animals get no choice over whether or not they sign it. Humans have a duty to look after what they've created - domesticated animals are 'unnatural' and rely on us entirely for their welfare. Most have been so altered by selective breeding that they could not survive without constant attention. So... I think the contract idea is kinda specious. Farm animals are more akin to slaves than our autonomous equals. They're fully sentient beings, but have no choices, no options, no freedom, and no future. The occasional bit of grass and a cow-brush is more about maximising milk/meat output and minimising vet bills by reducing stress. Of course farmers care deeply about their animals - but only because of the affect not doing so has on profits and expenditure. To many farmers they're essentially vegetables, only more expensive to raise and a lot more trouble to harvest.

@@EleanorPeterson Sounds like you think farm animals are vegetables

[@lebadger019]

@Elli P animals aren't sentient in the same way humans are. The animal has pure ignorance and (if looked after by a good farmer) should know relative bliss, they have no ability to grasp higher concepts so as long as their needs are met, they won't know its coming and it will be instant without pain. If you've seen no country for old men, the serial killer in that movie uses the tool farmers used to use (idk if they changed methods since) to kill cattle. Just a pressurized canister of air and a steel rod that does it in an instant with little mess.

I know it sucks when you know you're hurting them, but you always try to leave them more comfortable in the end. Even if you could use a numbing agent, it probably wouldn't be good to do.

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

It's possible that only vets can apply it, or it might need prescribing for the individual animal. Although I do agree it would appear to be a better thing if possible.

[@jessiekitty7492]

Maybe they can’t use anything because it will get into the milk??

[@samanthadillard2853]

And salicylic acid is actually a part of aspirin so it does have a painkiller in there

[@Dark1Wonder]

The pain she's experiencing in the crush is from the vibrations of the grinder for the most part. She probably has some pain from the hoof knife, and it's possible that a topical lidocaine might help, but lidocaine stings initially before it numbs and in humans it can take 10 minutes or more to kick in depending on the patient. Here in the US some topical lidocaine patches are available over the counter but an ointment, cream or injection would have to be prescribed to the person by a dr, I'm assuming the same would be true for animals and a vet would have to administer an injection. The cream used in hospitals can take up to 30 minutes to work. Bearing all that in mind, its probably just best to get her in and out and get that salicylic acid on there as soon as possible.

He mentioned this a while ago. It does have an affect if it's left on for months at a time.

I was just going to ask you about Craig. He hasn't posted so was worried!! Feel better Craigie boy. Prayers for you and the family dear boy.🙏💜🕊💜 Yikes....that looked very sore and painful Graeme. Thank you for doing such a great job. I'm sure she feeling much better. Can hardly wait for the recheck. Thank you for sharing and hope you and the family are all well. Stay safe and Take Care 👍 🌹 👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹👍🌹

Thank you, Graeme, for your wonderful heart: it certainly shows in every "girl and boy" you treat. One can't help but recognize that look gained every time you release them from the crush, their acknowledgement of the improvement made, and who made it!!

I love this man. Such care, precision, and compassion for his cows.

[@daniellef4129]

I wish all trimmers and farmers could hear what you said in this video. SOO many do not care like this. But it is so true and needed. Side note, we’re those Monty Cows?

[@Emma-Jayne]

Its so satisfying to see that walk after she realised it wasn’t as painful anymore. It must be such a proud moment for you when you see what your work does 👏🏻

[@fuzzylop9164]

Sorry to hear Craig is sick. Take care of yourself. Very informative. ❤️

I really hope that the cow properly and fully heals, and the farmer in charge takes the proper precautions and follows up on her until the wound is healed. This is definitely one of the worst injuries I've seen, and I can't imagine how long it would take for the dermatitis to eat through the entire hoof like that. As I said, wish this animal the best, and love these videos. Much love from a random internet stranger.

Every time my two year old hears the music she is so excited she loves your show so do I of course keep up the good work

[@cheryllynnshea6252]

I loved your pod cast feature. I must admit I have never thought a whit about cow hooves. But I’m totally hooked! I love this channel and share your channel with friends all the time. Keep it going.

[@bryankurn4848]

I love your channel, your very soothing in the camera shot with very great narration. I love watching you and Craig work your magic. And watching a cow walk away without all the discomfort for cows like this.

[@jakedonovan2602]

It’s amazing how easy it is to tell when they are even slightly overgrown now that I’ve watched a few dozen videos - something I never thought I’d ever notice in my life !

[@GGandMarley]

Keep up the good. Work I love. What. You do. For. 🐮 cows🥰🤙🏽

[@davemanone8071]

Thank you for taking such good care of these lovely ladies. They deserve nothing less than the best care. Greetings from downeast Maine.

Loved listening to your interview with Ewe Turn. Learn a few things I had questions about. You are right we Americans love your accent and the Welsh accent wasn't bad to hear either. We like to think about what our ancestors left in Scotland, England (and Germany too but not nearly as much as the British isles) Your brother's KZbin is great.

I enjoy watching you make these cows feel better. Bless you! Farm Girl from IOWA, USA

[@kathyramirez5512]

Oh my goodness. That looked so painful!! You did such a wonderful job trimming and preparing her hoof and bandaging it. Please let us know how she is doing please. Feel better Craig. God bless.🙏🙏💖💖🇺🇸

[@pretzels5709]

[@vanessamartin2186]

[@danshaleboda4817]

That is so wonderful that she is feeling so much better. ❤️❤️❤️

[@markdutka3774]

Amazing work here I'm sure the cow will find relief sortly. Thanks Mark Dutka Oakville Ontario Canada

[@patshhi4620]

Thank goodness you were there to take care of her. That looked nasty, and as you said she must have been in a lot of pain. People like me who are not farmers, ranchers have no idea about the problems cows can have with their hooves. Your videos are very informative. Thanks Graeme. 😃
