My uncle is a farmer raising mostly hogs. He was a real fanatic when it came to animal health and comfort. I remember being a stupid kid and telling him that they’re all heading for the slaughter house anyways, what’s the big deal? He explained about what he called the contract men have with farm animals. Our side is we will keep you well fed, warm in the winter, cool in the summer, protected from predators, healthy and disease free. They will want for nothing. But in exchange you will feed my family. Whether that be directly or indirectly by selling. He even went as far as providing toys for them. Old balls and tires that I watched them play with. So what you provide is part of the contract. Keeping them healthy and pain free. Even though every single animal has the same fate in store. Until that time, the onus is on us to uphold our end of the contract
The animal should have only one bad day is what good farmers think. And don't forget this is a milk cow. Bluntly, the milk yield will reduce if the cow is in pain. Treating your animals with care pays, whether in fattening hogs or milking cows you get a better yield.
I think the 'contract' idea is a bit of a conscience-soothing cop-out because any contract is entirely one directional. The animals get no choice over whether or not they sign it.
Humans have a duty to look after what they've created - domesticated animals are 'unnatural' and rely on us entirely for their welfare. Most have been so altered by selective breeding that they could not survive without constant attention.
So... I think the contract idea is kinda specious. Farm animals are more akin to slaves than our autonomous equals. They're fully sentient beings, but have no choices, no options, no freedom, and no future.
The occasional bit of grass and a cow-brush is more about maximising milk/meat output and minimising vet bills by reducing stress. Of course farmers care deeply about their animals - but only because of the affect not doing so has on profits and expenditure.
To many farmers they're essentially vegetables, only more expensive to raise and a lot more trouble to harvest.
“We are as gods to the beasts o’ the field, my jiggit. We order the time o’ their birth and the time o’ their death. Between times, we ha’ a duty.” - Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men
@@EleanorPeterson Sounds like you think farm animals are vegetables
@Elli P animals aren't sentient in the same way humans are. The animal has pure ignorance and (if looked after by a good farmer) should know relative bliss, they have no ability to grasp higher concepts so as long as their needs are met, they won't know its coming and it will be instant without pain. If you've seen no country for old men, the serial killer in that movie uses the tool farmers used to use (idk if they changed methods since) to kill cattle. Just a pressurized canister of air and a steel rod that does it in an instant with little mess.
Man, I'm an aeronautical engineer, but somehow I came across your videos and it's addicting. I think you are doing great work. All the best.
I can put my feet up here and everybody would be horrified! Been to 8 different doctors. Have 4 different bacterial infections. I truly empathize with these cows!
You could tell immediately that she felt better!!! I sure hope we get to see a follow-up on this cow. You're always so gentle with the ladies Graeme. Another reason I love watching your videos!!! Tell Craig I hope he feels better very soon!!! Stay blessed!!! Love you guys!!! ❤🤗🙏🏻
💙💓💙💓🥳💓🥳💓🥳💓
Yes!
"so gentle with the ladies".... I love it!

I am a retired business owner and grandmother of 6 from North Dinwiddie, Virginia. I have no idea why I started watching the Hoof GP. I like cows but I did not grow up with them or do I know anything about them. I like the fact that you teach as you go and that you care for them so much. You have a beautiful wife and great kids. Appreciating what you do, why you do it, and how you live your live your life. Hello to Craig and Kev too!
Hi
That cow looked so relieved when she realized her foot didn’t hurt as much. Keep up the great work and I hope Craig feels better soon.
Can't imagine how much pain she was in, but luckily she had the expert to give her some relief! Well done as always, Graham. Hope Craigy Boy feels better soon!
its Graeme! 🙂
I’ve been really feeling for these cows. I broke my ankle two weeks ago, and I’m pretty stubborn, so my fiancé will compare my splint to a block, and remind me that even the cows will keep their blocks on until they fall off (I have been practically pulling the thing off)
take it from someone who's been where you are many years ago - let your ankle rest, and DON'T skip or skimp on physio when the cast is off. mine took six weeks to heal, and i was a springy teenager at the time 😭
When I broke mine I had to wear the huge boot up to my knee, when I broke my foot too. I hate that thing.
Have you suggested that your fiancee glue the splint on? I'm telling ya, that's the only way I'd keep that damn boot on 24/7
Seriously though, get better soon. Ankle injuries suck.
My moms foot hurts years later and now can’t walk for long periods of time Please actually take care of yourself
It's not a flex to not rest, or to be one of those people who "can't stand not being independent." To be blunt, it's kind of dumb to be that person. Take care of your body. It's the only one you get. Don't be stupid like I was.
@@DelphineTheWorstBladeEver I’m not flexing? I’m saying how I relate to the cows and use them as an example of how to treat myself. I’m aware because I already broke this ankle, and didn’t rest, which is how I broke it again.
It's wonderful how much you care for your family. In two days it'll have been three years since my little brother took his own life. When I need to remember there is still kindness in this world, it helps to watch and listen as you look after cows and brothers (in-law). Thank you for your kindness.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I too lost my little brother, though it's been much longer (20+yrs) I miss him terribly. Graeme's personality and lovely passion for his charges remind me of Andy. I visit often for that "contact".
I lost my son to covid in 2020. He became ill before they knew what it was. I really miss him.
😱Poor girl! Can we please have an update on her progress in the coming weeks?? Oh and ... Get better soon Craig, Graeme doesn't wrap as nicely as you do!😉
Graeme usually does updates on stuff this bad.
It took a bit for the cow to figure out that weight can now be put on that hoof, but looking a whole lot better. (I was going to say hole lot better as a pun but will refrain from it.)
No
I'm a Toolmaker/Biomedical engineer. I spent 1/2 my life on a 1/4 horse breed farm/farm. Which brought me to you.
First let me say ur channels presentation is "top shelf"! If I have a question?..stay turned. It gets answered.
And it's always A to B. Thank you for that!
I like ur style!
One of the things that impresses me most about your videos, Graeme, is that you do not presume that your methods or products are the best. You say things like "whatever product you are using" or "I do this, someone does that, and that's a matter of preference." The respect you have for your peers, your clients (human and bovine), everyone, is so comforting to see. Thank you.
I've told my small-town vet to watch your videos. I told her that she would learn so much. She said that she will take a look. They work on a lot of cows.
I told my butcher to take a look at these videos, I wonder what they will learn
@@MrMonkey2150
The quality of cows he's getting maybe?
@@MrMonkey2150 They could gain more respect for the farmers and farriers taking care of the animals that produce the offspring that eventually end up at their afacilities. Also, these are dairy cows, so the butcher wouldn't be seeing any of these anyway.
@@Dandylion567 yo chill it was just a joke 😂😂
I have absolutely no idea why I watch these videos but I do and I'm hooked. I think it's a combination of your compassion and my love of all animals. You do a wonderful job, thank you.
I love that they always turn around and look once they get out, as if to say thank you🐄
I was never into anything farming. Then I ran across your channel, and the work you do for cows, actually made me check out a few of your episodes, and now I'm hooked. Top marks how you explain the what and why of your job. Couldn't ask for a better person to actually get people interested in farming.
This is what youtube is for. Finding amazing niche things that you'd never have otherwise come across.
Poor poor wee girl . I gasped when I first saw her. Thank you Hoof gp for helping her . She received high quality care , thank goodness for people like you . If I rocked up to the doc with a sore foot like that I’d need surgery and then hospital rehab that’s how much care I would need. 😎😎😎🐄🐄🐄🌻🌻🌻
I have had a really rough day and seeing how bad and obviously painful the cows hoof was put tears in my eyes. But seeing how much better it looked and her walking so well after the amazing care you gave her just warms my heart. Thank you for doing what you do.
I'm not a farmer, never grew up on one. But I have the upmost respect for you and what you do for these cows. I know how vital the dairy industry is to every day life. Thank you for everything you do sir!
I am in Palliative Extended Care and we had Covid run though our unit - Craig I hope you and your family are feeling better and recover very quickly , Take Care . Cheers from Falkland BC Canada .
I never thought watching a cow have their $hit covered hoof get repaired would be so relaxing!!! I love what you do!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
Totally agree with you 😁
Welcome to the club:D
Maybe she's starting to wonder if the red headed stranger IS actually helping her. It's starting to add up !!
🤣🤣
Get well soon Craigie Boy. Love the way cows turn to say 'thank you' for making them feel better. What a difference & a huge reward knowing you've lessened this girls pain & she's on the road to recovery.
they look around and think "what the heck was that about !!??". Then thank Graeme for taking the pain away. 🐄
@@KindCountsDeb3773 die Tiere sagen Danke. Doch, das tun sie wirklich. Und sie sagen, wenn es ihnen nicht gut geht.
Dafür muss man sich allerdings auf sie einlassen. Das ist bei Rindvieh nicht anders als bei Hunden
@@hellaschuenemann OK, I got your text translated from German (?) to english. So, thank You for your thoughts, I agree! Danke und Segen
@@KindCountsDeb3773 yes, it is German.
Animals are clever , we never should forget. We are just another species of beings. One day they give their best for us. Until this time we should give our best for them.
I hope, Google translated well.
Greetings from Lower Saxony.
Egads! That had to hurt a whole lot!
Get well soon Craig! Hope you and your family are well!
I chuckled when you said a person wouldn’t expect to be healed after 5 minutes if the had an ulcer like this on their foot. I work with a wound doctor in the US. Yes, some of our patients do except to be healed after one or two visits. 🤦🏼♀️
Lol that's my Grandma about chiropractors. She thinks the whole industry is a scam she was sayin "they want you to keep coming back...!" My Dad was like "yeah...it's called a treatment regimen. Years of spinal damage doesn't go change overnight" Lol 🤦🏾♀️
@@juicyparsons I’m slightly suspicious of chiropractors myself. I prefer going to a sports medicine or spine specialist when I need to
@@KatieLHall-fy1hw Physical Therapy.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 the one by my house knows me well 😆
@@KatieLHall-fy1hw Both my Neice & her husband are Dr.'s of Physical Therapy. I'm not ALLOWED to have a stiff neck. That suffices for the medical help I get from them. lol
You said during this episode could you imagine how that cow feels. I don’t have to imagine I know exactly how she feels. I tore my Achilles tendon. I had it surgically repaired I was put in a cast while still asleep. 10 days later they took the cast off. I had a hole that went down to the bone that was big enough to fit two fingers in it. We finally found out that I had a reaction to the stitches he used. It took a year for my foot to heal. Now 20 years later it only hurts if you touch my heel. I hope that cow heals much faster than I did. And I do know how bad it hurts. I barely touched my toe to the ground right after they took the cast off and I saw stars .
Please tell Craig I hope he feels better.
Ouch! Sorry that happened.
Omg I tore mine as well but I didnt have to have surgery but I got a staff infection that attacked the torn tendon and they had to cut a hole in my ankle to drain the puss so when ever Graham drains puss and says imagine how good it must feel to have that pressure released I dont have to imagine I know exactly how good that feels.
Very sorry to hear yours got infected. My Achilles tendon never showed any signs of infection it was open to the air for a year. But I do know how releasing that pressure feels. I had an infection in a hernia repair on my navel. The doctor glued shut with crazy glue. And within a week I was doing 105 fever in my stomach look like I was carrying twins. I go into his office he has me lay down, he takes out a scalpel and cuts a 9 inch hole in my stomach. It shot pus into his face . Considering what he put me through I thought that was a just dessert.
@@kathybrandt6060 Im so sorry you sure have been through a lot.
Wish Craig a full and fast recovery from Covid, and I hope you and yours stay healthy
Never did I imagine finding such a subject so so interesting! Love the videos and it’s clear the passion you have for both your job and making the lives of these animals so much better with the work that you do
The way she looked back at you, before you released her, was sweet and with curiosity. It didn't look like freaked out to me. You are so awesome to heal them. ❤️
She was a gorgeous cow, love the breeds with lots of white fur!
I notice how a couple of cows usually hang around, watching and keeping an eye on their sister. Lovely.
I appreciate you explaining what you are doing and why. It isn’t common sense to those of us who are “city people”. But it is fascinating. I like watching you work.
I slipped and gouged the bottom of my foot on some barnacles on a rock once when I was a kid.... can empathize with this cow 100% she looked great coming out of the crush. That bit where she held her foot up when she turned I imagine was more her thinking it was going to hurt as turning left probably puts more strain on that claw than turning right
This is just unbelievable what you do! Looking on TH-cam for something different to watch I saw the cows foot and thought what is this about? Never knew that the cows had to have their feet taken care of! I am just fascinated with the work that you do and the care that you give each individual hoof!! Love your humor and think you have a fabulous family. Great music also.
I was flinching every time you took your knife to her foot. It was like I was feeling it, too. You made such a HUGE difference in her hoof. It had to feel better; it certainly looked miles better… it looked like a foot that could heal. Thanks for sharing your work and passion with us.
You are a joy to watch !! Your excellence in your craft is admirable, and helping an animal in need always touches me. When I saw the first view, I thought HOW is he going to fix that, it's a massive hole and deep. That cow walked away happier and healthier. Well done !!
YES, I can imagine how much pain that cow's foot was in until you did your magic on it. So wonderful to know that it's not suffering as badly after you tended to it's needs. Hopefully, it was brought back to you to be checked back out, and you were able to help it again.
I know it sucks when you know you're hurting them, but you always try to leave them more comfortable in the end. Even if you could use a numbing agent, it probably wouldn't be good to do. You need to know when something is tender. The video can't show how careful you have to be with that razor sharp knife on hoof horn that likely goes from rock hard to soft plastic in consistency.
I think Graeham has x-ray eyes. So much of the time he instinctively knows what an area might have underneath and investigates. He knows his craft exceptionally well . It's really great to watch an expert in their work, with an animal's welfare at stake.
@@KindCountsDeb3773 leider gibt es viel zu wenige davon.
Mein Vater hat diese Arbeit an seinen Kühen selbst erledigt. Wir hatten allerdings auch nicht so viele. Festhalten mussten wir Kinder, Schürze umbinden, Fuss hoch, halten... Es ging auch. Wir hatten aber nur wenig Probleme, meist war es die Pediküre.
@@hellaschuenemann Danke, I would have liked to live on a farm or keep farm animals.
Having stepped on razor wire in a swamp as a kid, it's much better to suffer the process to get it set up to heal properly even if it hurts, than to let infections make it possibly a permanent injury. She will be better once it starts healing, so you are doing great work!
I love looking at those sweet cow faces!! Ugh poor Craig.. I pray he gets better fast! Kevin is also handsome.. I am glad he helped. Loves from Oregon..
Well now we know what Mrs Hoof GP’s channel should be called: the Bovi-Blonde!! 😆
I always feel so bad for these poor babes. Walking around on grass or in muck with such an inflamed open wound must hurt more than I can even imagine. I love watching the follow up videos to see how well they are healing. Speaking of, I wish all the best and a speedy recovery to our Craig!
I hope Craig has a fast recovery. And he doesn’t get sick too bad. And I’m sorry to hear that he’s sick
Please do update us on this lovely lady Graeme. We'd love to see how her hoof is recovering.
Graeme, I listened to the podcast. My favorite line was about your "12 year hangover", that's a brilliant description, just brilliant. Hahaha!!! Love to you and your family. -GC
Just listened to the EweTurn podcast! And, yes, you DO sound far more “Scottish” when you’re talking to the locals versus when you’re speaking to the camera. I think we all have our own “accents” that we only realize we have if someone from out of our area points it out to us.
Also, I can confirm, most American women do love a good European accent (personally speaking, I can also confirm that a properly strong English, Irish, or Scottish accent, not necessarily in that order, really melts my butter!) 😉🤣
I agree...I love accents, Scottish, English, Irish...ect, r my Achilles heel...lol most of the channels I watch on TH-cam r by ppl with those accents.. 😂
Totally agree. Please don’t be offended but I like the calming sound of your voice and Scottish accent so much that I use watching your videos to help me sleep at night. Sorry I do like the content but the sound of your voice is why I watch/listen.
Watching the care and comfort that you brig to these cows lives is remarkable- who know that there was so much about the foot care of these animals- I'm learning so much and becoming addicted to watching your videos- between your videos and Tom Pembertons - you both give hope and being a smile to my face - thank you so much from Connecticut USA
Hope you feel better Craig! Love your videos!
I am an IT professional and have recently started following your videos of Hoofs cleaning. It's so satisfying to see these animals getting healed and getting manicure. your knowledge is incredible. I seriously feel like attending a personal session to see this thing happening practically.
My grandparent used to be farmer and once we also had cows and buffalos in our shed. my uncle use to keep up with them.
you doing very noble work. :)
Why did I click so fast.
Watching your videos is so calming. Thank you for the journey
Poor girl, that's a horrid problem, I flinched with her. I'm so glad she has some relief. I hope she overcomes this and heals. Great job.
Thank you for making these videos. You increased the cows comfort and boosted her productivity. I noticed that your grinder has a chip “guard” (shield) on it. Hope it keeps you safer and more productive.
It is so nice to see the immediate effect of your treatment on the gait of the cow...the relief on her face is immeasurable, what a wonderful job you have! Thank you for sharing! Hope Craig feels better soon. You guys are amazing! Love from across the pond in FL.
Craigy Boy, hope you feel better soon!
Just wondering, is it possible to add some mild topical anesthetic to the wash for these situations where there’s so much exposed corium? It looks so raw and painful. If there was a way to numb it up while you work, it would help her and probably make your life easier. She might not try to jerk her foot away so much.
It's possible that only vets can apply it, or it might need prescribing for the individual animal. Although I do agree it would appear to be a better thing if possible.
Maybe they can’t use anything because it will get into the milk??
And salicylic acid is actually a part of aspirin so it does have a painkiller in there
The pain she's experiencing in the crush is from the vibrations of the grinder for the most part. She probably has some pain from the hoof knife, and it's possible that a topical lidocaine might help, but lidocaine stings initially before it numbs and in humans it can take 10 minutes or more to kick in depending on the patient. Here in the US some topical lidocaine patches are available over the counter but an ointment, cream or injection would have to be prescribed to the person by a dr, I'm assuming the same would be true for animals and a vet would have to administer an injection. The cream used in hospitals can take up to 30 minutes to work. Bearing all that in mind, its probably just best to get her in and out and get that salicylic acid on there as soon as possible.
All great responses, thank you!
I'm a retired advanced trauma paramedic and fire officer. I actually find your work satisfying because it is "humanitarian" bringing relief and healing to the cows. One of my seven sons, a combat wounded Sergeant of Marines, has a heard of belted Galloway cows. I've always had an interest in that breed. Do you do follow up videos showing the healing process?
Best wishes to Craig! Get better soon, we miss you.
Always enjoy seeing the cow walk away from the crush, and how instant the hooth triming works on them, hope Craig feeling better soon
I am so glad she had you as her trimmer. You take such pride in your work and it shows.
Here I am, a hospital pharmacy tech in the US, going to pieces over a poor cow's predicament. I almost never interact with patients. Rather, I would be like the supplier making sure that salicylic acid is there in the first place. Thank you for making these cows feel better and sharing that with us all. (and maybe making me reconsider paying extra for that imported butter)
Get feeling better Craig! I always look forward to new videos from you and Craig. Your relationship is fun to see.
The way she looked back at you like “how dare you do that to me!” for a minute and then realized “oh wait! It does feel better!”Priceless!!!🤣
Hope you get better soon Craig! I've been recovering from a shoulder decompression and rotator cuff repair.
Was so scared of catching it before xmas that I didn't really go out. Then just as I start to rejoin life again, those hayfever symptoms turn out to be Covid, and once again I'm stuck indoors.
But at least I have The Hoof GP videos to keep me entertained!
I hope it's just the sniffles.
That has to be one of the most painful I've seen to date! The lady must truly be happy from the relief you gave her. Thank you Mr GP for doing all you do to help those beautiful animals! You never disappoint!
Oh the poor love. It’s good to know you have given her the first step to her recovery 😊
Hi from the Kingdom of Fife. After spending around a month watching all your episodes from the very beginning I’m finally caught up. Love what you do, even though I have no links to farming. I totally get your passion for what you do. I’m a nurse and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a human or an animal having treatment, it’s so interesting and I’ve learned so much. One question though.....what is the deal with your hair?? You’re starting to look like Cammy 🤣 Get well wishes to Craigie Boy.
The other day I was about to show my class a video from TH-cam. When I pulled up my account they said let us see your history, so I just laughed and showed them. I had spent the night before catching up on Hoof GP episodes -- the screen was filled with your videos. They were so confused -- You're watching cow foot videos? Yes kids, yes I am. And so should you....
Loved the Ewe Turn podcast. Someone, Ted, owes Lori an apology for watching Craigieboy apply Salicylic Acid instead of the birth of his child. Everyone loves the Hoof GP. Graeme you were so good on the podcast. Listing again.
Its so satisfying to see that walk after she realised it wasn’t as painful anymore. It must be such a proud moment for you when you see what your work does 👏🏻
She looked to be walking really well as she left the crush, then stopped and looked around as if to say "what just happened?"
That poor baby. I just feel great empathy for anyone suffering. So fortunate to get good help for her from you!
Get well soon Craig!
Did anyone warn your poor brothers in law that being your assistant was a requirement? 😂
My 4 year old daughter said that cow looks like a pretty princess with one pretty pink glove on.
Always waiting for your videos❤❤❤
Never in a million years did I think I would find myself watching videos about hoof trimming yet here I am again 🤣🤣🤣
I haven't heard this mentioned yet - what extra stress does a block put on the toes, ankles, etc.? Is there a time limit under which it doesn't bother or strain the anatomy?
I thought about that as well!
He mentioned this a while ago. It does have an affect if it's left on for months at a time. In the short term it only causes minor aches. but in the grabs scope of things it's more beneficial to the cattle as it helps fix a problem that could become long term.
Think of it like walking in a shoe that's higher on one side. It's uncomfortable especially on the joints.
HI KEV ! Nice to meet you and thank you for helping GP! CRAIG feel better soon !!
I can't wait to see how she is in a few weeks. That looked like it hurt.
That is so wonderful that she is feeling so much better. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm guessing that in the podcast the hosts were insisting on pronouncing salicylic acid in an unusual way; again that's my guess as I haven't hear the podcast.
My best wishes to Craig, although you might feel awful try to eat some stew. It's important to keep the body hydrated and give it some food during sickness, even if you aren't feeling hungry.
That’s what I was thinking.. like the way he says iodine
Did you find the podcast? I could not find it.
Every time my two year old hears the music she is so excited she loves your show so do I of course keep up the good work
Not only are these videos are addictive, his accent is also with how soothing and pleasant he talks.
You have some great work ethics, relaxing to watch make the animals feel better.
This man does heavens work. GET BETTER CRAIG!!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness. That looked so painful!! You did such a wonderful job trimming and preparing her hoof and bandaging it. Please let us know how she is doing please. Feel better Craig. God bless.🙏🙏💖💖🇺🇸
That was a good chat on the Ewe Turn Podcast. I think part of why you don't get much flack on this channel from the anti meat folk is because you genuinely care about the welfare of the cows you treat. It shows through that you actually care and seeing a person who cares treating animals injuries is something anyone can love. Keep up the good work, sir.
Came across this randomly. The urge the go try is growing. I randomly think about cow and bull feet. Wonderful stuff.
It's really a good thing that you were the one to address this poor bulls problems...That was definitely not a job for an amateur... It's obvious no one has even touched his feet, maybe ever.... Really sad .. 😥 You can tell how upset Graeme was, without even saying a word....
You are such a Godsend to these animals. You’re amazing Graeme
It's always so sweet to see how they turn around after they take a few steps as if to say Thank You❤️
I enjoy watching you make these cows feel better. Bless you! Farm Girl from IOWA, USA
Wow what a nasty injury! Great job, I look forward to her update.
Get well, Craigie Boy!
I really hope that the cow properly and fully heals, and the farmer in charge takes the proper precautions and follows up on her until the wound is healed. This is definitely one of the worst injuries I've seen, and I can't imagine how long it would take for the dermatitis to eat through the entire hoof like that. As I said, wish this animal the best, and love these videos. Much love from a random internet stranger.
I love this man. Such care, precision, and compassion for his cows.
I had planter's warts removed when I was a young teen, one went to the bone. I couldn't walk on that foot for weeks. It was soooo painful! And, yes, I had to see the doctor several times while it was healing. I mean, it's the dirty feet thing; shoes, socks, floor, ground, school, home.
Sorry to hear Craig is sick. Take care of yourself. Very informative. ❤️
Sha baby that looked so painful! Hope her recovery is speedy and complete!! 🐄👍💜
Loved listening to your interview with Ewe Turn. Learn a few things I had questions about. You are right we Americans love your accent and the Welsh accent wasn't bad to hear either. We like to think about what our ancestors left in Scotland, England (and Germany too but not nearly as much as the British isles) Your brother's TH-cam is great.
Your gentleness , patience,loveand devotion to these cows is beautiful and inspiring!!!!
What a wonderful thing you’ve done for her! Thank you so much for caring for them. Tell Craig that we’re all thinking of him.
HGP, you’re great the way you help cows feel better. Thanks from Texas!!
I actually have had my foot peel back. The meat will separate under my toes and pull out to raw flesh and nerves if my feet are hot and wet for a prolonged period of time. I couldn't afford the doctor, so I had to superglue the meat back together and hobble on my heel. I wish I were making that up.
Many well-wishes to Craig. Covid is no fun at all.
Shit!!!! Are you in the USA by any remote chance? Sounds like you took the most effective route you could, but utility superglue isn’t made to the same standards as the medical variety - sterility, contaminant free, etc. It’s also usually only used for small/medium wound closure, not anything as big as sticking a foot back together!!! I’m glad you got away with it, but at the sane time it’s completely outrageous that you had no choice.
@@Twittler1 Yup. It was about... geez, 25 years ago now? (edited number of years because I keep forgetting I'm as old as I am.) I made sure it never happened again once I learned about what had actually occurred to make it work like that. My grandfather was a medic in WWII, and he gave me a right scolding when I asked him about it. Luckily, I have decent insurance now, so it wouldn't cost the entire leg to go into the doc.
I don't know why I keep watching these video... it is satisfying
It’s amazing how easy it is to tell when they are even slightly overgrown now that I’ve watched a few dozen videos - something I never thought I’d ever notice in my life !
