      The hoof GP from Scotland calls the contraption " the crush" his videos are also interesting but a bit more messy😮

    I watch a Scottish channel, The Hoof GP, which is mostly about cow hoof trimming. Fun to watch a Scotsman trim hooves and now watch mini Scottish cows get their hooves trimmed. Good video.

      @fluffyfeatherfarm Prepare to fall in love with Scotland. When Graeme isn't hoof trimming with one or more of his brothers-in-law, he's showing us his beautiful country.

    • @habslover2306
      @habslover2306 Місяць тому +2

      @loveisall5520 I, too, have watched for years, and as is true of a good percentage of his viewers, I have no connection to farming. I was blessed to meet Graeme and his lovely family at an agricultural fair in California. I drove five hours each way, and it was well worth it. He was kind enough to attempt to call Cammy Wilson from The Sheep Game for me (huge fan), but Cammy didn't answer.

    I knew cows needed their hooves trimmed and I've seen them get turned on their sides, but I had no idea this way was an option. I also had no idea that cows get warts. That's weird. This was so great. Thank you. I also noticed the warm weather. Wish we had that now.

    What Eric uses is a crush and what you described is a table crush.

    Highland are a special breed to trim.

    Another interesting video! I've been wondering if cattle ever need their hooves trimmed and if so, how often. I suppose that big herds that are driven from pasture to pasture for grazing (I'm thinking cattle ranchers) wear their hooves down more efficiently? Maybe that's another reason for cowboys -- to check the herd for problems? Anyway, I appreciate how well you tend to your animals and how much time and effort (and money!) you've put into learning how to best manage and nurture your farm animals. My eldest sister worked as a veterinary tech her entire career for a big and small animal clinic, so I've heard a gajillion stories! Anyway, I loved seeing the process.💗

    That was interesting. I noticed he doesn't "clean out" the area between the 2 sides of the hoof.
    Keep in mind, I've only ever seen this done on horses, where they scrape out the center of a hoof.
    I don't know if I'm the only person curious about this..
    not a criticism - just a curious question. Thanks for educating us.... ❤

    • @fluffyfeatherfarm
      @fluffyfeatherfarm  Місяць тому +2

      Yeah different than hose feet… that’s just the area between the toes… honestly it’s always dirty because they walk around in the dirt and mud… it’s not really part of the hoof

    It’s called a crush not a chute but I knew what you meant
    You don’t want their pidal bone growing too long
    They go into the race and cows are herd animals so they will follow each other
    Does Eric do the Dutch 5 step method or a different method
