ROTTEN COWS HOOF CLEANING *HUGE HIDDEN SECRET REVEALED*

Cows were kept outside most of the year then. I walk past a place where they are inside ALL OF THE TIME and have never seen such miserable animals. There is this sign ARLA which means ASDA. They are walking around in their own mess 100% and no grass to allow their feet to dry out.

[@lobuxracer]

You took the words right out of my mouth. That poor girl must have been in agony with that infection. I grew up on my grandfather's black Angus breeding farm and we trimmed feet routinely, but I've never seen anything even close to what this poor thing was suffering. I hope to see her doing better in a subsequent installment.

[@dollcina]

I'm surprised these infected hooves ever heal with the cows standing in manure all the time. It's a miracle as far as I can see!

[@ThePlank1991]

I wouldn't say its all the time, and usually in modern barns there are hoof cleaners the cows walk through :)

[@sammarsh7765]

Yup most dairy farms do a foot bath couple times a week at least. Plus they're pretty clean

[@foxpatternedferret476]

It's not like they stand in nothing but manure, sure they may walk through some, but usually they're in a clean pasture

[@errorghostt]

Typically cows are kept in a pasture/barn. They are usually standing on hay or grass, though it can get muddy outside and sometimes they do step in poop.

[@LJBSullivan]

Cattle/cows are much stronger rhan us mere mortals

[@hoggsoft]

Listening to the birds chirp while you trim was actually surprisingly relaxing

[@untbunny]

I am in shock over how quiet the cow was during the process! Bless her. Thank you for being so kind to her.

[@friggintourist7751]

I was thinking the same thing! Cows usually will either stamp their feet when in pain or vocalize to a degree. She did neither which was surprising

[@GrainneDhu]

I'm far from an expert but I did work for a vet as a teen (in the early 1970s). I know the outer hoof wall (horn) has no nerve endings--it is akin to toenails. The pain is often from the pressure on the inside of the hoof capsule from pressing against the relatively inflexible outer hoof wall (when is isn't caused by something like a rock, a nail, etc). Back then, no one in our part of the country was using angle grinders, it was all done via hoof knife and nippers. If the hoof knife is kept razor sharp, there's little additional pressure applied to the hoof as horn is removed. You can't really see it in the video but quite often I could see as a teen, as soon as the abscess was opened and the pus, etc, started to come out, the cow would relax all over. With the pressure relieved, there was some soreness left, no doubt, but most of the pain was gone. Graeme keeps his knives extremely sharp and his angle grinder blades are also very sharp. You can see that he applies very little pressure as he trims hooves. Also, just being in the crush with a good part of her weight supported by the belly sling (don't know what they call it in Scotland but that is what it functionally is) and the sore hoof firmly supported by the hoof /leg restrainer, she starts the trim feeling less pain. It's like the difference between standing with a rock in your shoe and siting down with the rock in the shoe. As soon as Graeme gets into the abscess, that cow felt an immediate reduction in pain, just as if you started to slide your foot out of the shoe with the rock in it. Aaaaaaaah, the relief! So overall, for the cow, having Graeme so deftly treat her sore hoof is probably the high point of that day. She went into the crush three legged lame (from Graeme's commentary) and came out feeling a bit sore and bruised with leftover pain from the abscess but overall incredibly much better.

[@untbunny]

@@GrainneDhu Thank you for providing this well thought out and educational reply. When the cows are in the crush I tend to watch their front legs to gauge comfort. Graeme is truly gifted. We are blessed to have him represent the trimming business as a caring, professional.

[@GrainneDhu]

@@untbunny Agreed! I suspect that in a crush with so much body support, the front legs are not responsive in the same way they were in the old crushes that didn't support the cow's weight. For the cattle with healthy hooves just getting a routine trim, it's probably a bit irritating to feel trapped that way. It's the cows who have painful feet that probably come out feeling like "OMG, I am so relieved!"

Imagine when we humans are in pain, we can actually tell a person where the pain is, animals on the other hand cannot speak to tell us the exact place that is causing them discomfort ... feel so sad for animals right now after watching this video.

[@bryanfrye8770]

It was probably a huge relief knocking down that hoof. infection causes pressure and pain.

[@lucagimrom4787]

really reminds you that even if you are probably more unfortunate than others, there is probably still someone even more unfortunate than you

[@xeyize6869]

Also many animals, specially herbivores, do not show that they are in pain as a defense mechanism to avoid predation. Only when they are very in a very severe situation of pain will they express by changing their behaviour or showing discomfort

[@PaulFCalder]

Feel worse because wild animals don't deal with this, only animals that are on farms like these.

[@mochi3209]

I dont think that they have nerves or veins in there hoofs so it would not hurt them. It only hurt the cow bc it was most likely pushing into its foot which caused the pain.

[@farmerjohn2262]

These vids make me wonder how long a hoofed animal in the wild like a bison could survive with such an infection. Probably not too long when it reaches this stage. Predators single out the weak to prey upon.

[@Shinzon23]

Wild bovines/buffalo usually have a lot of different terrain to roam in, and have much more durable hoof material, so they don't usually get into scenarios like domestic cows. that being said, it still happens, and yes, usually the animal gets a throatful of fangs from a wolf or cat of some kind, or dies from septicemia from the infection.

[@froogsleegs]

Aye, species like cows that have been domesticated for centuries would have little chance of survival in the wild due to changes in their body structure, if all humans stopped keeping farming animals suddenly for one reason or another they could die out. Domesticated cows have to be milked to avoid infection, cows and horses need their feet trimmed and cared for to avoid abscesses and keratin overgrowth, sheep need to be sheared annually, etc. It's interesting how human influence has shaped evolution in this way and now we're kind of tied together- domesticated animals enabled new innovations in agriculture that allowed a bigger population to be supported. Without them we would struggle, and without us they would struggle. Forever linked and relying on each other.

[@Joodster]

How on earth did that poor girl's hoof get that bad in the first place? I cringed through the whole thing just thinking about how painful that must be.

[@sarahkoebler7428]

Cows, prey animals in general, hide problems very well. If they look weak, sick, or injured they are fair game for predators. So instinctually, they don't show illness or injury until it is a pretty big problem they can't hide anymore. They catch things early on routine trim checks, which is why they are so important. Even if your cows don't seem lame or overgrown. 🐄

[@TerryProthero]

@Torch Singer Aside from what Sarah said, some of these farms take care of their cows extremely well. But then they will buy cows from other farms who don't do the same. I think they might be going out of business or things of that nature. But this is a way to save a lot of money purchasing cattle. But then the first thing they do is have Graeme take a look at them and to correct any problems they have. And I'm guessing the vet as well. Those are some of the worst cases Graeme has to deal with. But if we were watching his normal day, it could get pretty boring with one cow after another having no serious problems. He shows us a handful of his worst cases.

[@marthacarvalho9831]

[@Joodster]

@@TerryProthero I know what you and Sarah have said is true...but it's still a little heartbreaking to see the cow suffer. I know it's not intentional neglect.

[@TerryProthero]

@@Joodster In some cases it might be, but not by the farmer Graeme is working for. It's probably a good thing for the cows that they were purchased by someone who will give them better care. Yeah, the poor cows are in a lot of pain. It's fortunate that Graeme can help them. But keep in mind that these farmers likely have only a few cows like this. We are mainly seeing the worst cases. Because those make more interesting KZbin videos. But Graeme has shown what a normal day is like, and there isn't much to see. Just a lot of cows getting a routine pedicure.

[@michaelmartinez8902]

Growing up, I had kin who raised cattle. An uncle and cousin had dairy farms & others with beef cattle ranches. I never cared beyond having fresh milk for my cereal, or later, fresh cream for my coffee & fresh butter for my toast. Watching your channel has planted & nurtured in me a deep sense of compassion for these sweet animals. You're right. I do like to see you wash the hoof before you start trimming. Also right in that it seemed as if the problem was superficial after the first little bit until you got deeper with your knife. It hurts my heart a bit to see these ugly wounds in the cows, but gladdens me to know that they are now on the road to recovery. If you'd have told me a while back, that I would enjoy a channel about caring for cows hooves, I'd have said you were screwy, but I do.

But this channel is so amazing, and it is so interesting to learn about herd management and how dairy operations run in the UK.
