Three Days of Hoof Trimming Sheep (HOW WE TRIM SHEEP HOOVES): Vlog 176

- Three Days of Hoof Trimming Sheep.
The last step in preparing the next lambing group due in December! After shearing, we hoof trim and give a very important vaccination that protects the lambs from Clostridial disease as the ewe transfers her immunity to her lambs through her milk.
The job is pretty stress-free, but we often get those ewes who 'think' they're stuck in the trim chute and take a lot of persuasion to exit the machine. Of course, we found one in this group.
Three days was a big pull. Glad to have had Carissa around for some extra help (and company!)

I love how they walk out after being trimmed and walking all funny 😆. As if they say “ ooh that feels different but I like it...”
Totally! Like a new pair of shoes!

@@SandiBrock popcorn is a clever girl
“Shut the door, open the door!” Almost like playing peek-a-boo with a baby. That slayed me! Love it!
Love your vids!!!! Love them even more now you've posted a hoof trimming one!!! :)
Thank you!!! I just found your channel also!!!
Hi Hoof GP. COULD SHE NOT USE A TRIMMING DISC?
Sandi Brock I’m wondering the stress level of the ewes when they’re squeezed into that machine, and also when upside down. I know you’re not hurting them. What is the name of that machine again?
Sandi Brock they’re clever sheep
Love these videos and extra work Sandi does to jazz up content with different pov. I found my self blinking as the ewe tried to avoid her manicure! Can I recommend some WD-40 for your crush roticeri?
I love the “prance” they do after they feel that their feet have been trimmed 😂
Its like oh god oh god ooh mu god my feet feel weird XD

What good girls the sheep are
I love how they "think" they're stuck. LOL.... Silly Ewe.
😂
Sandi Brock your sheep are good girls cute sheep nice 👍🏽 video do you want to watch mine do you give popcorn a cuddle
Sandi Brock popcorn is not stupid
The sheep look so cute with their wool shaven! Little round butterballs 🥺
Popcorn is a clever girl
I have sheep
Happy 😊 Easter 🐣
Did you have a nice 👍🏽 Easter 🐣
I’m glad you’ve gotten your battery operated trimmers, your hands must be so grateful. That one ewe just wanted more one on one time with ewe.
I Remember the vlog where you spent the days doing hooves without hurting yourself then got a papercut
LOL! this was it!
Sandi Brock popcorn is a clever girl
@@SandiBrock hi
@@SandiBrock do you still have popcorn
I like the way the ewes just head right into the chutes, no waiting around for any instructions. Which must mean they don't associate their nearly daily line up with anything bad. Says a lot about how you treat them. You don't even to need to give them dog biscuits!
Love to learning about the farm. You're doing a great job
I love how you interact with your ewes!! They know that they are loved and well taken care of! Do you ever have interns that help out when Carissa isn't there? I don't know how you do it all!
You treat them so well, and I hope that it helps your business by posting every aspect and being so honest and open! I look forward to your videos every day
When Sandi opened the gate & all the sheep ran through- their floppy ears were so cute! 😂
That impatient one made me laugh 😂😂
I need that cage thing for my cat! It’s hell chasing her around when she see the clippers 😁
Veronica Do like I do and give her a tranquilizer for cats. Need to go through a Vet.
@@alvaroakatico9188 gave my cat a tranquilizer for a plane trip. Had the opposite affect. She ran around her carrier - up the sides, across the top - hand screamed. Had to leave her behind!
Because our sheep live outside, we have to do tick, fleas and lice dunk. My funniest story is this while running the wethers thru their 'bath' I had one very stubborn castrated male jump the maze fence. They were all in the barn thank god, but he ran my britches off. I finally cornered him with the help of one dogs and got crook on his neck. As we were walking back to the dunk tank, he decided it was ok. But he took me into the water too. Guess I won't have lice, ticks and fleas for awhile.
Oh my!!! What little brat!! LOL!
I wonder if this squeezy flippy contraption works on 85 lb Labrador retrievers 🤔
LOL! You're the second one to ask if it could be used for dogs!
I would kill for one small enough to put my 6kg (13lb) Lhasa apsos in.
use a towel or baby swaddle blanket...
@@Zimtig It does help to do that, but a very cross little dog is like a snake. They can wriggle almost 360 degrees in any direction.
@@shestewa6581 Yeah had to do that with my cat... it does take a little practice, but it is easier when you do it with a swaddle blanket.
She thought she was at the spa and did t want to leave! Lol
I know this may sound weird, but I find the hoof trimming vids oddly satisfying.😊
I love watching your dog work.
This is the cleanest barn I’ve ever seen!!
Recently found you. Love watching you work with the animals. It truly is a labor of love for you💕
Sandi , another awesome video . It’s great that you educate the public . The care you give your animals is awesome ! This is why your sheep herd is so healthy and - productive . I think Carissa , is a wonderful young lady . It’s so nice to see the younger generation take interest in farming !
May God continue to bless you , and Mark with good health and good yields .
Thanks so much Bill!
You’re so very kind and gentle with them. It’s good to see.
I’m literally taking notes for my thumbnails 😂😂 that is so perfect!
Buying a sheep spinner changed our lives! Turning jobs that we dreaded into just another job to do! A handling system is essential if you’re going to treat your animals right and keep them healthy. The tossing around of sheep and hoisting them into a sitting position between your legs is fine when they weigh 60lbs but once they hit the 360lb mark it’s a different story! Our handling system added another 15 years to our sheeping lives! Looking at your system I think we bought the same setup! It works great but I had to do bit of welding to make it ME friendly! I’m kind of particular about the way I like to do stuff. I found that pregnancy/nursing feed cycle causes rapid growth in hooves so we trim the preg ladies right before breeding and after weaning. The rest get once per year. Many will say more often but it does not bother the sheep.
Clever sheep
Love hoof trimming. I’m used to rolling them up on their fanny but I think that your shoot and “sheep flipper” is most definitely the way to go if you have one or 300. Great to see Carissa and great VLOG as always!
Great video Sandi ! You are so good at detail and depth and a loving person.keep videos coming
I love your lambys. You are a wonderful momma. Baaaa
Lol when you said "outside". Gasp! 😆
That is a lot of work for one person. You work your ass off You can really tell difference between dull and sharp shears. Your gate system is very well engineered
I love how nosy the sheep are :)
The sheep are good girls cute sheep
I would call the sheep behind popcorn miss nosy
Popcorn is a clever girl
I love the ones with black heads, and feet!
The Hoof trimming is fun and good educational vid for me. Thank you Sandi. 😁🇸🇬👍
Very nice job. Thanks for details.
She’s good with the puns! Great video Sandi!
LOL! thanks!
Sandi Brock did put thumbs up in of my comments
Sunday night. Tired. Bedtime.
Ping!!
I’m not tired. It’s Sandi time.
Kinsey the energiser bunny bright and sparky up for action getting in her
10 000 steps a day!
Experienced ewes monitoring work standards in the chase.
Pedicures over. Comfort at last.
Hope you’ve been watching The Hoof GP. I am totally addicted.
Aww! I LOVE the GP! That Scottish accent!
Cool video! I'm a dairy cow trimmer here in Wisconsin 😊
Thanks Sandi love the video.
Sandi, you are amazing. This has become my favourite youtube channel. I have recommended it to my niece who has become very interested in animal care and she and her mother loves it.
Me watching videos even tho I have never had or even seen one of these animals in real life 😅 and enjoying every minute of it
Clever girl popcorn
Farmers are the hardest working Americans! It is my sincere hope that you were able to get a nap after this physical labor.
Great new video Sandi, keep up the great work!
Very commendable job Ms, single handedly carrying the job just awesome 👍👍👍🌹🌺🌺🌹🍀☘️👌👍 🌹🌺
I actually love watching your videos and I dont even farm I just have horses lol
All sheep are clever
Great job Sandi. Hard working lady
Thanks Larry!
What a great dog!!!
Love you video, so informative! Just started to snow ❄️ here in Livingston County,Michigan! We are supposed to get 3-5 Inches over night! Stay safe and warm! God bless you!
When we trim hooves, we wear a glove on our off-hand to minimize injuries -- I'd definitely recommend it! I still have all 5 left fingers thanks to that glove haha
Great idea!
Yes! I learned the hard way to always wear a glove on my left hand. Worst pain of my life was when I slipped and cut a nerve in my left pointer finger. I’ve given birth 3 times and that cut wrecked me. Absolutely horrible.
Popcorn is a clever girl
"No mom, I'm *stuck* in here."
"It's not a phase mom I *am* stuck."
Meanwhile she just wants pets and a pedicure
Wow. I get worried trimming my dog's toenails, and I imagine it would be so much harder trimming literal hooves. Good job!
Very interesting and informative. My daughter has her first line ever for FFA. We have quite a bit to learn. It was nice to be able to look this up and have a tutorial.
Hiya, I'm new here 😁 just wanted to say that I randomly found your channel on TH-cam, have nothing to do with sheep or farming but just can't stop watching you! Your love towards the job and animals is just beautiful. You are a beautiful person! Thank you for sharing and I'll keep watching and learning :))
Happy 😊 Halloween 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷
When you were saying you’re fine I bet she is think I’m upside down this is not ok lol
I love watching your videos 🥰🥰 me and my twin sister showed sheep in 4-H from 1999 to 2002 and had sheep since 1996. We lost our last ewe october 2010 and man I sure miss my sheep.. you are so gentle with your ewes and I absolutely love that you leave little tails on them instead of chopping off the whole tail. I had a Suffolk lamb and she had a ewe and our vet docked her tail and left a little of it like all your girls have..... can't wait to see babies soon 😁❤❤❤
Love your beenie, palpatien nation!
Yes!!!
Sandi Brock have you seen any of my videos before
I love sheep that refuse to walk in water, my last 2 show lambs refused to walk through it just jumped over it, which turns out is good for muscle because there isn't much to do about the muscles in their backs but when they jump the muscles engage so since there was a constant water puddle I would just jump them back and forth a few times every time we walked past. Love your channel! You do a great job!
Thanks Emilee!!
Popcorn is a good girl
Really enjoying yours and Marks podcast . You guys are so good together 🥰
I seriously need to look up one of our local sheep farmers to see if I could use their sqeeze-em & roll-em over things. I have a very stubborn Rottweiler who doesn't like her feets touched. 😂😂😂
LOL!!!
Sandi Brock do you give popcorn a cuddle
I want to cuddle popcorn she is cute
What a lot of work, trimming those nails!
Its a pretty big job, but much better with the right equipment
Clever 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Mark did great good on explaining combine
I don’t know why... but the sounds they make just crack me up! 😂
Luv your dog! She just wants to help!
That 2nd goat is like, come on i want to go on that rollercoaster ride lol
LOL
Sandi Brock I would call the sheep behind popcorn miss nosy
This is great!
I love you videos, We’re starting our own Suffolk flock this year. You’re videos are so helpful. Keep up the good work! 👌🏽
8:08 Can't unhear a sheep going 'Bruuuuh' after the one in front of it is told it is being distracting 😆
Popcorn had all her wool cut off
Nice hat..
Always interesting to see how much has to be done to those critters
I have sheared sheep before on TH-cam Ewan shearing Samantha, Ewan shearing peppermint and Amy getting sheared are 3 of my videos on TH-cam
I've seen so many critters even if you give them a shot go down in a chute and refuse to get up what's most maddening is after you get them up half killing yourself in the process you turn around and there eating hay like nothing happened. The little darlings have a way of getting even i noticed your hand got banged but your were still nice to them .
Thanks
It's very interesting to watch The Hoof GP from Scotland trim cow hooves. Who knew there was so much to keeping a cow's hooves in good working order. I am sure Mark would give you a quick toe nail trim if you asked him
Hi Sandi I have just found your channel. You are an inspiration your videos are amazing thank you for taking the leap to start making these they definitely brighten my day and make me want to get into farming
I love that job , for some reason some sheep think it's great to play up from start to finish.
Totally!
I liked it when you said popcorn is good girl
I just went to the VA clinic and got the same treatment. 🤣😂
18:14 I love how shes just checking her out 😂
Love your Cody Creelman cow get hat!
The ewe that didn’t want to come out of the chute needed some sensory time. Hahaha. I love Popcorn she looks like she has freckles. 🥰. The ewe that was getting in the ay of Popcorn’s pedicure was funny she was impatient and wanted her turn hahaha. What a wonderful video. It was very informative. 🙏🏽🤗❤️
The dogs a ninja
never a lazy day on the farm rain or shine,great video
Right on!
@@SandiBrock do you give popcorn a cuddle
So much interested on this. ♥ ♥
You are so sweet. I really enjoy your videos, even though I'll never do anything with sheep. I'm trying to become a commercial goat milk farmer instead...it is alot harder than I expected.
So hard!! Wish you all the best!
Cutting nails is so satisfying 😍
Clever popcorn
Popcorn is a good girl
I always find the sheep stuff interesting
Thanks Candice!
Damn, i wouldnt mind it, if my school invested in one of those trim-chutes 😅😂 we use shearing-tables when we trim their hooves, and if they are out on pasture, we go down on our knees... Damn, our backs after an entire day wrestling with the ladies 😂
This was one of the first things I invested in! SO glad I did!!
She was confy
I still keep singing ..We're poor little sheep that have lost our way"
I think she felt she was robbed of the parfin wax treatment. Awesome and informative. 💪👍🇬🇺🤙
I need one of those apparatuses so i can trim my Saint Bernard's nails. Haha
Sounds like a perfict use for something not meant to be lol
