I am learning so much from your videos. For instance, I am ashamed to say that I never knew that cow's hooves needed to be shaped and ground on a regular basis. And I never knew that the farmer probably has the equipment to do it himself. This was wonderful. All blessings upon you and yours.
Thank you very very much explaining your disc and why you use what u use and why other hood trimmers should use what they should use!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼😇💜
Thanks for sharing I always wondered about the blade's that was used to trim hoofs now I know, I learned alot just now. Thank you for this video, besafe and God bless you and your family
@@Rx7man work great there is a learning curve to it . got to go slow and light to no pressure just use the weight of the grinder wear a good face sheild only use it on animals use to loud noises. I trim my percheron hoofs with it his hoofs are very hard the trim-tec makes trimming way fast and easy. and again go slow trim a little at a time these blades will remove alot horn instantly and you hurt the animals severely .you got to have full control of this tool it will shave off just about anything it touches so be safe if you get this tool.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I would like to ask you about a grinder. What are specifications of a grinder that you recommend such as how many Watt or RPM or we can use any spec of the grinder? Thanks in advance (from Thailand)
Thank u that was very informative.. does using the grinder save ur wrists at all ?.. not more so I know its faster.. but does it add longevity to ur hands and wrists at the end of the day?
Yes it definitely does - the speed the grinder brings is important to only for me but it let's the cow away as soon as possible too which is obviously waaaaay preferable. But yes it definitely saves my wrists a little
I’m absolutely incompetent and will stick to knives. Of course my father-in-law simply trades service with a neighbour and they check up on our herd at calving, branding and banding times. Open pasture and pretty soft ground, (we keep them off the roads) so it’s rarely necessary for our beef. Additionally the vet comes through about twice per year unless we have an issue and we get significant discount because my mother-in-law works in town at their pet clinic, although we definitely don’t get priority.
I wonder if a cordless power plane would work? I have loads of experience with angle grinders but perhaps not the finesse to use one on a living animal. Maybe I’ll ask about and try out some on animals who have unfortunately been stricken down and died. (Still for me at least it is definitely a niche skill although it’s always great to watch a master at his task, no matter the task).
Hey G have you ever tried using a Dremel tool for those hard-to-reach cracks between the hoofs?? I saw someone use a Dremel tool on a horse's hoof that was split. Made me think of you with your knives struggling with very hardhoofs.
I would think the copper one (for small numbers) would work well, you won't have the size of hoof to work with so removal rate shouldn't be as critical
@@mikeyd5969 You know, after I posted that comment looking at a few more videos I watched that video. I thought, well there you go, if I had just wondered for a few more minutes I would have known the answer. Thank you for replying to my question .
I am in the states and I have a large herd of dairy goats and use a Hoof Boss disk tool $389.99 on amazon, with a variety of disks depending on the goat I am trimming. The orange handle hoof shears work great the more expensive version are the best about $40.00, cheaper versions available for $10.00, depending on your budget. The Hoof boss has now made a battery version sadly I only have the corded one but like anything you work around that. One day hope to get the newer battery version. I have no connections with this company other than being a customer.
Sanding disks can work on extremely hard feet but are very very slow and need changed very regularly. Some people who use a method called "Kansas Style Trimming" use sanding disks.
I actually feel that its safer for me and it gives you far greater visability. If/when you hit you hand with the grinder if the guard was on you hand would bounce into the guard and the blades would "bite in" to your hand more this way itll still cut you but you hand is thrown away from the blades
They are all pretty dangerous, this is why it very important to keep up our trimmers work shop day's and training day's. I like the old Wopa disck just because I have a better feel for it than the trim teck. Thanks for the video, great work. 👌
You are a great teacher and I love the way you say aluminum with your lovely accent.
Excellent job in teaching!! Thanks for doing these videos.. Not everyone has anything to do with cows but we still enjoy learning..

I just think of it as a rotating planer. Such a neat tool and how accurate it shaves the horn. Keep up the awesome work and videos!

Thank you! This helped us decide to get the first copper trimmer because we are new and inky have 3 cows, whom we love.

What kind of discs do you recommend for sheep and goats?

Fricken excellent, answered many questions!!
I also use the trim Tec discs.
I enjoy watching your videos!

Nice one mate 👍🏻
What disc do you recommend for your own toenails?
Great video (they all are)

Love your videos!!!
How long does the average grinder work for you? I'm sure you're not using cheap, but considering how much you use it....
Thank you
looks like the blades on my new plainer
What do you do with the titanium discs after they wear out, send them back, throw them away, or just chuck them on a pile with other worn-out discs?
They don't really wear out to be honest- I've had the same ones for 8 years!
@@TheHoofGP That's some amazing value in that case for what you get, that's down to just a few p per cow then not counting replacement blades.
Is the same true for small ruminants like sheep and goats? What would you recommend for hoof trimming in that scenario?
I would think the copper one (for small numbers) would work well, you won't have the size of hoof to work with so removal rate shouldn't be as critical
This is perfect. I was very curious about what disc's you used. Thanks.
I love how y'all say aluminum!!!!!
Why not add your disc to your merchandise line?
Can you tell me where i can buy one online please
Is there any other things that are made to trim the hoofs ?
How did you get interested in your profession and what kind of training do you have.
Thresia Ross he explains in another video it was his stepfather who used to do this and got him started reluctantly.

What about trimming horses
Hi. I’m looking for a disc to trim goats and sheep’s hooves. What can you recommend 🙏🏻👍🏻😊
I cant I'm afraid I don't know what would be best for you - a lot of people use electric pruning shears though

Como se le hace Filo a las navajas del disco??? Me gustaría su respuesta
ouff, hard to understand with all that wind noise and the intro music is SOOOOO loud ! when you have time to spare, can you remake this one ?
What's price of blade
So you shouldn't use a sanding or grinding disk?
Sanding disks can work on extremely hard feet but are very very slow and need changed very regularly. Some people who use a method called "Kansas Style Trimming" use sanding disks.
Is that a standard grinder?
what would happen if i used these on wood?
I’m sure this another stupid question from me but are the grinders you use made for this job or are they just like general use grinders?
They're just general everyday 4 1/2 inch grinders
Why do you remove the safety guards from the grinders?
I actually feel that its safer for me and it gives you far greater visability. If/when you hit you hand with the grinder if the guard was on you hand would bounce into the guard and the blades would "bite in" to your hand more this way itll still cut you but you hand is thrown away from the blades
