Very Nice Hoof Turns BAD FAST!

When you showed us her reaction to you working on her foot, it was cute, because she had no pain reaction. But that ear was definitely trying to hear what you were saying. 😊

[@terrypauloregon]

I love how you treat your girls. You do your best to explain it to the city folk. ❤

Another beauty with a heart on her face. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your kids and grandchild.

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

Thank you 😊 we had a great day despite everyone being sick

[@OrchidsisterXO]

You are so skilled and if people can't handle a little blood they need to watch something else. Or just stop complaining because it's going to happen sometimes. Don't take what people say personal, you're great at what you do and we appreciate all the hardwork and dedication! Have a great new year🥳

[@karenprice9132]

I applaud you and Pedro for working in that bitter cold weather. Another great job! Well done.

So sorry you and yours were sick for Christmas! Hope you are feeling much better. I had to laugh when you said 10 degrees wasn't too bad for you. We had some of that here in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Brrrr!!!

I enjoy these kinds of videos. No clue why, not like I will ever fix a hoof! 👍👍

I'm born and raised in So California. When the weather gets below 45 F I'm pretty sure I'm going to die! 🤣 Thanks for taking the extra time to film this! As usual, interesting and educational.

[@case1962]

Wow -- I found it very interesting that you want a wrap with aeration for the lesions to heal. You'd think you'd want to seal away all the mud/dirt/urine/manure from lesions. It's amazing that they are able to heal in all that mess on their feet.

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

You are not going to keep moisture and bacteria out of a cow's foot. But a breathable wrap will dry out. We'll do a follow up on her probably in about 2 weeks so you can see her progress 😊

When you asked if you could show the face while trimming, my lame brain thought you were asking if there was like a HIPPA law against it. Can you trim part of my noggin'? I may have a cranial white line lesion.

As large as a cow is, the amount of blood that does come out from an injury isn’t anything. I’m tired of people complaining about it. They can choose to watch other videos and leave you and all your followers alone!

[@ke8wlw]

It's farm life in general. City folk just don't get it. Sometimes there's a little blood. It's normal

[@auroraborealis6009]

😂 I used to be a small animal vet tech. Blood is probably one of the least sensibility offensive things to come out of an animal. BTW, I think I'd need heated clothing if I lived that far north. I'm in GA.

[@bendugas8632]

Wow a very relaxed cow.

[@TheBachBabe]

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

[@PlainOlCourtney]

Blood is fine. It's a good thing. It's the people still complaining about washing the toes when youre just gonna grind it down and off anyway. 🙄 Born in the 80s, 3 staples for all our many scratches and scrapes were alcohol, peroxide, and iodine. I don't see it as widely anymore. The good times are no longer rolling for us and have transformed into good ol days. Lol. Edit: Happy new year to you and Pedro!

[@brendadickenson6743]

I grew up with iodine on me, methiolate or something, we has orange spots all over at times. Of course we played down in ravines, briars and all over . But then I am 70+ years old

Hi Aaron, greetings from Hungary.🙋🏻‍♀️I love how you love these wonderful animals. I'm just curious, why do you use iodine during and not after the trimming?🤔

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

Thank you! I do put iodine on the gauze before the wrap 😊

[@laurasrn5067]

Yes, blood is a good thing, it means there is good circulation and iodine is the best, it's been around since 1811!!! Aaron, I bet it felt like spring today in Wisconsin, it was 52° in Chilton!

[@bookish_heather]

Thank you for explaining about the iodine vs other things like chlorhexidine I have been wondering why one vs another. I was thinking it was like bleach vs peroxide in cleansers like bleach kills certain germs better than peroxide does example you can't kill cdiff with bleach

[@bonniefranklin6097]

Well done.

[@Alex.The.Lionnnnn]

10 degrees?!?!?!? I've never even been below freezing. Well maybe the odd day here and there overnight in the dead of winter. I can't even imagine that temperature!

[@Kastrius]

Aaron I have a question, do Winter temps, change the hardness of the hoof compared to Summer temps? I hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

😉 funny thing.. I actually had that in the video but cropped it out because I felt the video was to long and that was the boring part🤦‍♂️. But no the hardness is determined by moisture so for the most part that varies from farm to farm but stays pretty consistent on the farms 😊

[@laurajayne4920]

I recently saw a hoof trimmer use duct tape instead of the vet wrap. The reason given was to weatherproof the dressing. What are your thoughts on that? I certainly don't have the knowledge to have an opinion, but my thoughts go to holding moisture and bacteria in.

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

I have a few good Buddies that use duct tape.. If it works for them and their cows and their farms that is great. I'm never gonna bash somebody that gets results 🤷‍♂️ But for me personally I like the lesion to breathe and drain.

Interesting hidden damage. Was I correct that the right claw was slightly swollen at the heel?

[@kmpage333]

I've heard that Holstein cattle (cows) handle cold better than heat. I guess it's all that fermentation/ digestion happening. If you have herbivores in the winter you have to make sure they have plenty of roughage in the winter.

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

Yes the heat is definitely harder on them than the cold.

You can show blood. It’s OK. This is real hoof trimming. The Hoof GP in the UK shows it all (has1.7M followers) It’s real life. Thanks for taking such great care of the cows🎉

[@pythonpatrolexotics]

Will the "strong iodine " kill the digital dermatitis?

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

There was no dermatitis

[@pythonpatrolexotics]

@@midwesternhooftrimmer6735 I was asking in general

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

@Python Patrol ok gotcha.. no Iodine doesn't really do anything for dermatitis. If there's ever dermatitis I use salicylic acid which works great for DD but not as good as Iodine for abscess or ulcer.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

As a matter of fact, as soon red cells show in a large amount, it also means the body tends to get rid of the bacterial infections. Indeed not cutting in helps because that causes a longer time to heel up but, if 'the Red' flows OUT, the bad stuff can't get IN so well.

[@shonaguthrie848]

It must be freezing cold! It appears that there’s steam coming of the hoof!

I have always wanted to ask is this painful for them? To have the area messed with (her hoof cut and the sore exposed)? Does that sander/grinder hurt? I cringe every time you're cutting that horn near the infection.

I'm noticing that it's only Holstein cows that you fix their hoofs, Hereford and other breeds are they just hardier than Holstein?

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

Well I live in Dairy Central and only trim dairy cows so that why your only seeing Holsteins 😉

[@patriciamay638]

Are cows "curious" by nature?

[@midwesternhooftrimmer6735]

Yes, most of them are very curious

[@ColleenShier]

I am a retired nurse and it is unfortunate that you need to cover the lesion with iodine if blood appears because if you are watching a hoof trimming video I think one should expect a little blood. It is obvious from the way you treat the cows that you wouldn’t intentionally hurt them.

[@deicidaltendencies.1118]

If you pay your undivided attention to the cows alone, they really do have an unexpected intelligence.

[@AvocadoCotijaCheeseConnoisseur]

I came here specifically for the blood!! I don’t want to see gallons of iodine dowsed after every slight trim. Iodine is supposed to left for the end when finishing up and wrapping her up. I understand you were subtle with your language and alluded to being demonetized if you don’t censor the “graphic images,” but if this is how it’s going to be from now with your videos then I will likely stop watching. I don’t want to stop watching because I really enjoy your raw videos and the great care and empathy you show to these animals when treating them.
