Pulling a calf & draining an abscess... just a typical Wednesday.

- Опубліковано 26 січ 2022
- The cow that prolapsed a few weeks ago unfortunately has some more trouble and is unable to deliver her calf. The calf is dead, but we make an attempt to get it out of her to save her life. Then, as we are checking on the rest of the herd, we find a pretty nice abscess on one of the newborns that we end up draining. Thanks for watching, eat beef, and God bless!!

poor moma cow. she must be so uncomfortable. glad you could help her. ty for filming
Thank you! Glad to report that she did make a full recovery
Real life should not be subject to censure. This was very educational. Thank you for the fascinating video!
Thanks for watching
Totally agreed 😊
One can always change the channel.
Part of life raising cattle 😢
Life happens as well as death. Unfortunately. Good job helping her. Love life on the farm. ❤
That’s right. Death is a very natural thing. I think that is one of the major benefits to raising kids around the farm. They learn those realities and how to deal with it at a young age. Thank you
Thank you for making this video it is educational for others who may find them in this situation. The calf is dead and he is trying to save cows life
Exactly. She did end up making a full recovery. Thanks for watching
I watch all animal shows. Farming is hard work, all of you I appreciate.
Thank you. We do it because we enjoy it and it sometimes offers a little financial reward. I don’t feel like we deserve thanks anymore than anyone else doing their job, but we do appreciate your appreciation!
I wish more people that had cows were as caring as you are. You're a good guy...thanks
I think you may be surprised to see that most care just like we do. The bad apples are certainly out there & they often get exposed. We are all trying to turn a profit & that almost always means taking good care of them. Thanks for watching!
@@HurricaneCreekFarms Yep. It's the exceptions that make the news.
@@HurricaneCreekFarms , I love how you a pro at holding back puking on video! Lol!!
Baby calf really needed draining!
Can we have an update on mama!
@@sheilad83 yes, she did make a full recovery
ALL farmers are very caring and love their farm animals. Hence the reason they got into farming to begin with. They literally dedicate their whole lives to their animals.
You don't see a lot of farmers as young as you these days! You're a fine farmer, hard work!
Yeah, the average age of a farmer is close to 60. I’ll be 40 this year, but it’s crazy to think that I’m still 20 years younger than average!
Oh my goodness…..I don’t normally watch anything like this…but your video came up on UTube ….you do such amazing work…. I almost cried when the momma cow was all over her baby when you were treating it. Thank-You for your kind work on these animals. ❤️
Bless her, so sad ❤xx😢 she,s got me pushing to get it out quick for her,, to carry full term and to loose it,that is sad then have to get it out,I feel for her, I'm really sorry she,s and you have lost a baby bull xx
I love how all your cows are acclimated to being around you, they don't bolt away but let you just touch the calf and be right next to momma. Great video
Yeah, being a part-time farmer, having animals that are easy to handle is a must. Thanks for watching!
The farmer is usually the head of the herd
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Poor mama. My heart breaks for her. This is the first time I've watched one of your videos, and I truly enjoyed it. You did a great job showing and explaining everything.
Thank you. We try to show all aspects of raising beef cattle. Fortunately, the cow ended up making a full recovery. She was one of the first cows we bought when we started our cow/calf herd, so she’s always been just a little more special to us. Thanks for watching!
@@HurricaneCreekFarms so glad to hear she made a full recovery. Glad u were able to help her. Grew up on a farm and we lost two mama's to similar situations.. thanks for showing the truth and explaining what it's really like.
@@HurricaneCreekFarms my first time watching also! I checked the comments for an update and was glad to see 'almost momma' survived. 💓
This was my first video as well. I’m so glad Momma made a full recovery.
1st video for me also and a very revealing look into the reality of life on the farm and how you are coping with the situation. You are showing us your strength and determination in dealing with the hardships of life.
It only takes this video to see how much those cows trust You and viceversa. It's beautiful.
Thank you!
Poor mamma and baby cow this actually made me cry
Yeah, it’s a harsh reminder that things don’t always go the way we want. The cow did go on to make a full recovery.
@@HurricaneCreekFarms Good to know thanks
Damn. God bless you brother and thank you for all that you do.
I appreciate it, but we really are just doing what is necessary. We care about the animals, and if we take care of them, they’ll take care of us!
@@HurricaneCreekFarms I haven’t watched all of the videos after this one yet but can you tell us if she made it?
@@chrisc395 yes, she made a full recovery
Wow, that was a huge calf! It's no wonder she couldn't deliver it on her own. Thank you for watching her to make sure she would be okay.
Thanks for watching!
Wow that is amazing,, I'm a city guy from NZ. And I've never seen that before.....you truly care about your cows....truly awesome!!
Thanks for watching!
I am glad you could save the cow, that calf was huge
Yeah, that was the best we could hope for in this case. Thanks for watching!
It looked like it was starting to bloat.
Thank You for sharing. I know most people my be offended, but like you said it is life.
God Bless you.
You have a new subscriber here. I’m a retired RN, the vet I took my to little dachshunds to was also a farm vet he spoke of having to pull a dead calf. I wanted to see the process, you did a wonderful job explaining. I know hospital and nursing smells. This was very educational ( it’s life and sometimes death ). Thank you so much for your upload, I will be back.
Thanks for watching!
Me, too, retired RN
Greetings from New Mexico, stay blessed and continue to be great my fellow Americans
Howdy! Thanks for watching!
Sorry you lost the calf. Hopefully momma's going to be okay. Great video thanks for sharing with us..
She’s doing good so far (about 30 or so hours after we filmed this video). I’m becoming more and more optimistic
He was a big one. wow!!
Thank you for sharing this video
And for taking care of the cattle.
You rock godbless you 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
Thank you!
Love how they trust and love you. Your care shows in your livestock . ❤️
Sorry for Big Mama trying so hard and losing her baby. Hope she recovered
Thanks! Fortunately, she did make a full recovery
God bless you for helping her
This is nature , youtube shouldn't flag these types of videos, it is educational too! Sorry for the loss of the calf!
Agreed 100%. I didn’t even realize they had it flagged or age restricted, but I’m not surprised. Thanks for watching
@@HurricaneCreekFarms you are most welcome, I grew up with many friends who lived , and worked on farms, the farms are all gone now, quite sad to say the least, hope 2022 brings you many blessings!
Thank you for posting this video about real life on the farm. ❤ Im Old an disabled now, but I think all teens at least 15 on up should spend at least 1 summer or whenever calving season is at its most intense to help them learn about what goes on behind the cameras.i wish I would of had that chance to do it,maybe I would have learned more.
Thanks for watching! I definitely think it’s a privilege to grow up on a farm, even if it is a lot of hard work
@HurricaneCreekFarms that was the one thing our parents taught us us due to the fact that they grew up with the Depression Era, My Dad's side was not as well off as my Mom's but my Dad and his Younger Brother both left School after the 5th grade to get job's both brothers were raised around Mechanics an that's what they both did go to work at differenti Gas Station working as a mechanics not much money but lots of hard work. So that what we were taught hard work neve hurt anyone but it made your a better person. Over the Years ive had some really dirty hard jobs for a girl but im here. 😀 Never been the delicate little flower. Helping raised my Brothers and Sisters an house work an everything to go with it and the job's later in life. That's me.
I hope the mother cow recovers. I know that a calf that has died in-uterus is harder for the mother to pass as the calf doesn’t “assist” during contractions. I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Thank you & she did make a full recovery!
@@HurricaneCreekFarms Oh, thank goodness, poor Mama.
Vaseline woulda helped
better than Dr. Pol.!! good job very informative
Thank you!
Lovely video! Very educational and entertaining
Thank you!
That was fascinating! What a caring rancher you are! Sorry for the loss if the baby.
Thank you
I agree! I’ve never been around ranching except for watching tv and movies and there’s so much involved that I never even thought about!
I love this stuff ! Dr. Pol really caught my heart with this ! I just love it! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰
Things can definitely get interesting out here. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant days work.
This is living. Right on
Sorry for the loss 😢 you saved her, though, and that's a blessing 🙌 🙏 ❤️
Thank you, and yes, she did make a full recovery
I hope the mom makes it. That’s a shame she lost her calf. You definitely put in a full day!!
Fortunately, mom did make a full recovery. Thanks for watching
@@HurricaneCreekFarms I’m so glad she made it. Thanks for the update!
If he would have shut up and did his job the calf might be alive
@@demetriusfinley5848 The calf was already dead.
@@demetriusfinley5848 ummm the calf was already dead. Why are you so angry and rude? Do you need a hug?
Poor momma. I'm glad you were there to help. I'm sure infections would start fast if it stayed much longer. So 😔 sad.
I am a city boy and I work with my hands all my life with a hammer. I have a new respect for farmers !!! 😳👍🏻✨
Thanks for watching!
I meant to say you are an excellent rancher/farmer!!!
🇨🇦 🙏 I really hope that the cow that had the dead baby recovers well. Good luck.
She did make a full recovery! Thanks
Kudos to you for keeping your animals safe and doing what's necessary...
Thanks! If we aren’t doing those things, then we wouldn’t last long in this business.
This is what farming is partially about. I remember when we had to pull calves. Farming is a gamble the crops, livestock and finances! Poor cow and wife!
Thank you! We can report that the cow did make a full recovery.
Poor cow God bless and her farmer ❤️
Thank you!
Ty you for sharing and showing us farmers the correct way to pull a calf and more importantly what to do afterwards pulling a dead calf!!!!!
You can tell this calf has been dead for some time …. It was swollen and starting loose it’s hair.
I would love for you to make a video of rinsing that womb.
Ty again for your videos!!!!
You're so great with your cows. They appreciate your help. 💙
Thank you & thanks for watching!
@@HurricaneCreekFarms you're welcome
As a former cattle farmer i loved seeing you out in the feild amongst your cattle and not fearing them or them fearing you. Thats rare these days shows how much time you spend with them. Thats great farming god bless you and your farm.
Thank you & thanks for watching!
I’ve seen some bad mommas, pulled a few calves sired by a bull too big for first calf heifers but nothing like that. Good on you doing what needs to be done.
That's why we use Hereford and
Angus over our Friesian heifers
Instead of Friesian bull. They are
Way too large on small frame
Cows. Plus the beef X prices
Are through the roof here in
Australia.
Thanks for being so loving with your animals. Sorry about your little baby calf. God bless you!
Thank you for your video. I respect you so much for your caring touch with the animals. You're a good man ❤❤
Thank you!
God bless you for getting that baby out of there. And like you said that's part of life.
Thanks! Yes, unfortunately, the farm reminds you of how harsh and unfair life can be from time to time. Thanks for watching
The mama cow is so sweet and concerned about her calf! Beautiful to see nature and nurture!
They are smart enough to know their baby didn't survive but still have an overwhelming instinct to nurture. Poor girl
Mad respect and so grateful for all you farmers. I hope the poor mama that lost her calf is doing OK. The second mama was watching you like a hawk while you were lancing that abcess!! :)
Thank you & she did make a full recovery!
So sorry for the Mom’s loss, pain and suffering.
IT IS PART OF FARM LIFE GOOD VIDEO!!
I got to tell you this came across my feed this morning and thought I'd give it a shot good job brother nice original everyday content of farm life you're good in front of the camera and you're good at what you do. Thank you for sharing and educating everybody
We appreciate the kind words & thanks for watching!
My dad swore that's why he always kept a flask of whiskey on him when he was a farmer. He said whiskey made a good antiseptic when you're out in the field.
We pretended to believe him. 😉
It's been a pleasure watching your channel for the first time. Brings back a lot of good and not so good childhood memories. That's why I subbed.
Stay well. ✌🤟😊
Thank you!
I live in a rural area in SWern VA and have been around a few farm animals.Watching these type videos have helped my "gag reflex". I enjoy watching but hated to see that big calf dead.
So sorry you all had to go through it 😔. Cows 🐄 seem to be lovely creatures that care very much for their babies and people.
You are the most compassionate farmer I've ever seen. Most are just another day on the farm!
I’m not sure about that. Most folks in animal agriculture are very compassionate with their livestock, but they may not show it like we do. In my opinion, if you aren’t compassionate, you probably aren’t going to be very successful. Thanks for watching!
Awwww sorry you lost the calf. Thank you for loving your animals.
Thanks
So sad! She will be mourning for her calve!😭😱🙏I hope she survives!😇
She did make a full recovery
She,s a tiny little thing, beautiful,she,s hungry little girl I think that baby is gonna make it, know camara to high, sorry didn't see it, keep us informed how she does THANKYOU, baby lucky xxx
The baby with the abscess did just fine. We actually sold her as a yearling last year. The mom that lost the calf also made a full recovery. Thanks for watching!
Pulling out a dead, dry baby is extremely difficult! Lots of lube required. You did well!
Thank you & thanks for watching!
Happy
To find your channel tonight! Congrats on 4+k subs! Appreciate fellow farmers educating the world!
Thanks for watching!
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
That's a huge calf
Start pulling!!
We got him. Fortunately, she did make a full recovery.
Calf-jack! I'd never heard of that--that's ingenious! Aoh, poor sweet mama. Glad she's got you looking after her. :)
Thankfully, we don’t have to use it very often! Thanks for watching
Do you know where the word cowboy come from and who was the cowboy or a person who attends to the Cavs and cows they were talking about a black man who cares for the cow and they called the black man (boy).. a lot of American History has been lost on purpose.
@@demetriusfinley5848 Oh there were a *ton* of black cowboys! I wanna say like 1 in 7, though I absolutely do not remember where I heard that number, so.... grain of salt and all that. :)~
No doubt, farmers and ranchers are the heros of the us
Finally a farmer who is smart enough to use gloves
😬 Don’t watch too many of our other videos! I don’t always set a good example!
I'm a retired nurse. Do you consider how the farmer got bird flu from treating a cow's pink eye? All it takes is a microscopic crack in your skin and contact with infectious discharge from your animals and we have a new pandemic. I'm not being paranoid. This is just science.
She's one quiet momma usually they won't let you near their calf Be careful never turn away from cattle that's what the farmers say here Stay safe
Yeah, she’s been fairly attentive to the calf but she isn’t too protective. I really prefer them to be a little more protective than her. Thanks for watching!
She’s a Beautiful little calf! I love her face ❤️
OMG! Bless you for your kindness❤
If you’re going to have animals, you better be willing to take care of them. Just doing what just about any other cattleman would’ve done. Thanks for watching!
Greeeat video..and truly shows the life of a person that is a good animal care giver
Thank you!
This was great to see. I love how passionate you are about your work. Hoping that cow is well too.
Thanks! She did make a full recovery!
Sometimes we have to get the dead stuff out of our life so that we can live!! (Sorry I’m a preacher lol)
@@dahottestyet so true!!
Sorry about the calf. Never seen anything like that before. Always up for learning new things.
Unfortunately, it happens. That’s why we video it all, so we can show things that folks may not otherwise get to see. Thanks for watching!
It's sad, but it is a part of farm life, just like it happens with people. I hope the cow has made it and is flourishing now as well as the bottle calf.
@@warpedalice yes, they both did very well!
Same. Gosh. It's amazing with what you can learn.
Loved hearing the squishy sound of the draining
thank you for your vidios dry nice
Wow. I don't think I could ever do this. Great job. I hope mom will make a full recovery. 💗
Thanks & she did make a full recovery!
@@HurricaneCreekFarms that is great news.
You can really see the trust in you that they have.
Sometimes they do seem to realize that we are trying to help. They have a natural fear of humans, but our daily interactions with them have most of them very calm with being handled.
Farmers know what they are doing ❤️
Sometimes!
Talk about a dry birth, thank you for caring 😟
Thank you. Fortunately, she did make a full recovery.
OMG that poor cow and baby.....hope she's alright
Yes, the cow ended up doing great & making a full recovery.
My Uncle had a dairy farm, every Sunday we went there for supper. First place I went after saying hi was the barn. I love cows, I'm so glD I got to grow up around them even if it was only one day a week. I live in Mass. Not many farms around any more, but they are coming back slowly. So you got yourself a new Sub, time fir me to go watch some videos..
Glad to have you here & thanks for watching!
Poor cow, 😢heartbreaking for the mommy, so sorry, yes this is real life.
Yes. We are happy to report that she did make a full recovery.
I loved your video
Thank you!
Poor momma...but so glad she is going to be ok
Yes, that was the one silver lining. Thanks for watching
The ups and downs of farm life. You seem to have a good handle on things.
Thanks! It doesn’t always seem like it, but our problems are generally small compared to what some folks are dealing with. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for show all you do!!!
The land is beautiful
Thank you!
Sorry you lost the calf and hope mom makes it. I love watching the babies feed from the bottle they are just adorable!! Hope you don’t lose anymore babies!! You do a great job with showing what real farming is all about.!!
Thank you. Mom did make a full recovery. Bottle babies are cute, but I hate them in the sense that it means something has gone wrong! Thanks for watching!
Hahahaha! I love how the little calf thinks you’re its mother. 🤣 Too cute. I hope the other Momma has a successful recovery. I can’t imagine how bad the smell was. 🥺
Fortunately, she did make a full recovery. Thanks for watching
Abscess would impair suckling ability too.
@@susanmarsh4351 yeah, that was a concern. Fortunately, she never had any issues in that regard.
Thank you for sharing.
@@JbirdL2233 thanks for watching!
She is a beautiful cow
The questions I have. Lol. 1. How is the cow who lost her calf? Physical and emotional? 2. How is the bull doing with his feet. 3. Did you ever give that calf medicine on her little cut you had to make? 4. How do you dispose of the deceased animals? I know some farms burn them . Thank you so much for showing us real life on a farm. It’s good to see both sides. ❤🙏🏻
The cow did make a full recovery. We sold her about a month later (waited for antibiotic withdrawal period to expire), as we didn’t want to breed her again for obvious reasons. We didn’t ever have to give the calf any additional treatment. She is doing great as a yearling heifer for us right now. We usually dispose of the dead by taking them away from the other animals (so as to not attract predators or scavengers to the herd) and leaving the body to decompose. There was a rendering plant in our area that would pick up the dead carcasses, but they stopped servicing our area years ago. Burial would be nice, but we don’t have the equipment to do so.
Hello to you AWESOME folks of Hurricane Creek Farms! Brand new sub!! I love the graphic (blood & guts!lol) things!! Anything that could be deemed "medical!" I have a 20 year career in mental health (worked in a mental institution!lol), HEY! I HEARD THAT!! Someone in the back ROLLED THEIR EYES VERY LOUDLY & said "Well, THAT explains a lot!" lmao Over the years I've accumulated a lot of medical knowledge/experience, as well! Both subjects fascinate me & I try to NEVER stop LEARNING!! A great deal of the medical training has come in EXTREMELY handy! I've WITNESSED car accidents, have stopped & helped at MANY accident scenes (Ok, who am I kidding! I stop at every single one that I see!lol) & at EVERY scene, I was the ONLY person that had ANY training!! Anyway, I love seeing HOW procedures are done, animal OR HUMAN!! And, with humans, I analyze EVERYONE!lol The psychology of ppl & figuring out what makes them tick, is my favorite!lol. I know it's probably too late now, but, in a case like the cow that's not making milk for the calf and, since you ALSO just had a calf that wasn't alive, is it possible to milk the mother of the stillborn & use THAT in the bottle to feed calves in trouble?! I know it's happened when a cow that miscarried, will sort of adopt the calf & let them nurse, but, if mommy is that protective of her baby ALREADY, she probably wouldn't tolerate her calf nursing from the other cow? Just a couple of thoughts/questions that popped into my little coconut! And, I'm an OLD FART, so I HAVE to blurt things out, or I'll forget! lol
Yes, that is an idea that could work. An orphaned calf can also sometimes be grafted onto a cow that may have lost her calf. Or, if a cow has twins around the same time another loses a calf, you can try that. That’s even better if you can get them to do all the work for you! Thanks for watching!
I had many years of night shift at the nuthouse. Retired from state mental hospital. I had some amazing experiences.
I respect cow farmers so much after seeing how much hard work they put into caring for the cows and bulls. I never thought about what a cow farmers life would be like until I came across a few videos a few weeks ago and today finding your video.
Is it normal for cows birthing to be difficult? Many videos I have seen so far look like some have a hard time giving birth. Also, the poor bill calf looked extremely dry, never seen something like that before.
Not normal at all. Out of 40 cows that calved for us this spring, this was the only calf we had to pull. This one was very dry as a result of it dying probably a day or two (maybe longer) before the mother started to show signs that something was wrong. Thanks for watching!
The calf was dead. Normally they are slimy and lively which helps a TON with making delivery easy. This isn't typical.
He was a really big boy. Poor momma 💜
Yeah. Big calf and she had previously prolapsed. Fortunately, she did make a full recovery.
Love this!
Thanks!
I know the smell and once you have smelled necrotic tissue and abscesses/pus/drainage of all types to manure you never forget the smell and can very quickly identify it. I walk onto a farm and I can tell what animals they have from the manure smells and everyone says "how did you know that?" because at one point I have shoveled it and had to deal with the animal. Necrotic tissue like he mentions in the video is a scent that lasts and it lingers on you and you feel/smell like you need a decontamination shower before you go in the house and sometimes we would just undress and use the hose from the house to wash ourselves and possibly our coveralls or you roll them up and they go into the wash immediately. You walk into the house in your skippies having an outdoor shower with the hose because your family (for me a Mom) wont let you sit on the couch otherwise.
Well said. Thanks for watching
Only those who have had the need and responsibility to do this really understand how much you want to help and just how hard and difficult it is to do. The aroma challenges everyone.
Y'all should keep a washer and dryer in the garage with a shower. What my rancher relatives do.
Welp I was not familiar with the term "pulling a calf" but I sure as heck know now. I initially came for the abscess 😆
It’s not much fun other than the rare occasion when the calf is still alive. Thanks for watching
Great vieo
Precious ❤
Thanks for watching!
I just got your video in my feed. I love how you really care about what you do. You talk to your cattle like they are one of your kids. 😊 How did the mama do after you were able to get her calf? I hope you didn’t lose her. How about the little one with the abscess? Did her mommy ever her milk in?
Great video!
Thanks for watching! Fortunately, this cow did make a full recovery. The baby with the abscess is doing great and we have been able to stop supplementing with the bottle.
Gosh dang
I'm so sorry about the calf
But I wanted to say you did a beautiful job with her best you could
My Dad (RIP lost him last October)
Used to raise cows
And I just loved how you handled her
Thank you
Edit
Also great job with black 🖤 and white 🤍 face baby!!
Thank you & thanks for watching
