Saw Mike's hoof ... immediately went ...looks like the start of toe necrosis ... bring in Graeme Parker ...!!!!!

Ball hitch for a tractor needs to be on this years Christmas list 😅

Hoof GP Graham Parker..his work and professionalism on his videos looks fantastic

We lost a handful out of the milking herd to BSE. It came onto the farm in the milk powder. The ministry vets studied our cows family lines to see why only a few were infected. They believed that certain lineages were vastly more susceptible. Probable why the numbers of humans that died from it were also lower than expected.

You just nail this channel. It’s brilliant. Your sense of humour makes it.

Think the other issue with the feed was that they reduced the temperature used making the feed cutting costs that enabled the BSE to be still viable. They didn’t take the risk again. It was similar to the pig farm using imported meat in their swill and shortcuts processing it that caused the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001 causing the ban on perfectly good swill. I do believe that we need standards as the example I use was poultry farmers putting extra hens in a cage to keep up in the race for profit. Even when you want to do the right thing, you can be forced to follow to stay in business 🤷‍♂️

Not so much personally affected, but I do remember all the glowing Pires up and down the M6/M74 when I was traveling up and down constantly. And the Smells😢 Fingers crossed we don't see that again. Oh and get some decent tyres on the Landy🤣

Well Crawford, ye certainly got yer fill of mudding for some time. Hope Mike improves and is back with the ladies soon. Take care, laddie!

Should have gone for a black bull! But I am biased

great video pal 🙂

5:27 that gave me a good chuckle 😄

Thank you & how horrible that MCD is back, I remember seeing it all unfold in the 80’s/90’s & it was heartbreaking, so I pray it doesn’t spread & happen again 😊❤

Hope the Bull’s foot heals quickly. Shocking to hear of a case of BSE. Freddy is clever and handsome boy 😊

Well Done Freddie. Great spot of Pancake 👏🏻

Great video Crawford a ball hitch is a great idea on a tractor 😜🤣🤣👌

Hope Mike gets back in action soon 🤞

I was working as a nurse in the early 90's and I remember nursing a lady who had left her remains to medical science. There was a whole procedure to go through in the event of her passing away. The lady had a dementia diagnosis but on contacting Edinburgh medical school they refused to take her body due to the risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. (The human form of mad cow disease). It was scary stuff at the time. As well as having to give up T-bone steaks. 🥩🐄

I was a regular blood donor in the US at the time of BSE. You could only go to the UK so many times over years and still be eligible. I finally stopped eating beef on my trips (my mother who was with me still ate it). I would then "lie" to the blood bank that I hadn't been recently. I figured it was the beef and not the area itself that was the issue.

If the bull wasn’t injured before that trailer ride he will be now 😳😳😳

Good video as always as for BSE I was hoping I would never see it again once was enough ☹️ with your Landrover did you have it in four wheel drive low range and the diff lock locked in if you did you definitely need more power and some mud tear tyres 😂😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hope Kev made you wash his tractor after having to drive it in mud to rescue the other green beast on the farm😂

Maybe you should get some mud tires for one of the defenders ;)

Is the hoof Gp near you

So what was the beginning and finishing gravities for the beer wort?

If you are still looking for a spreader check out Tony Fast ag he has just demoed a Amazone one what a beast.

I think you need a visit from Clarkson on how to sort the POWER issue!

Good luck making Freddie the Stockman of the future 😊

Poor Mike. I feel very sorry for him. He looks so sore. Maybe a block on his inner claw would help. Maybe a quicker heal than if it was his hip. Anyway, for you and for him, I hope he is up and running soon. I saw a patient with BSE and it resulted in a quick demise. By this point, the supermarkets couldn’t sell their beef, customers were too frightened to buy it and it was hugely reduced for those who would risk eating it.

I remember that happening when I was a kid, along with Chernobyl (mom canceled the milk delivery). It wasn’t until a few years (post 2018) that we were cleared to donate blood, plasma, breast milk, etc., in the US due to the risk of CJD. 😢

Can remember a lot of arguing over bans on British Beef around the world during that time and bans on "Beef on the Bone".

In a way we were all affected by bse back in the day. The government cover up of the outbreak had let it get much worse than it needed to be

Pull the trailer with a tractor ?

I remember all that happening. It was heartbreaking. I'm not in farming but, I am Fed By Framers.

bloody trailer tyres look more mud terrain than the landies you bandit you .. get some

Could do with some weight on the back of that landy. If the bull was near the back of that trailer lifting the hitch you have no hope of any grip. Or get a ball pin for the tractor.

Graham the hoof gp

too young to remember mad cow disease in the 80s but just old enough to remember foot and mouth. Hard times, can only imagine how it affected farmers. Your absolutely class with your niece and nephew Crawford its brilliant to see. Lucky to have you. I grew up working on the farm with my uncle and the memories I have are the best. The love for all things agri is deep rooted by those school holidays on the farm. Been in a couple of times in the last fortnite for breaky with the wife. Bloagburn BLT with the curried banana chutney 🤤 🤌 ohyaaaa.

bse was bad ,but foot and mouth was worse from about feb to sept we lost half our cattle and all our sheep end of august it was hard all year. minstry vet visits every other day for weeks ,i think was worst year in my life first thing your thought when you woke up in the morning. I think im right in saying they changed the method to chemical treatment and they took it up to same temperature but not for as long and thats how it got through, beef prices were not very good for afew years and no animals over thirty months were allowed into the food chain anything over 30 months were burnt in otms scheme £300 for them .i know too many people died of it but thank god not as many people that they thought would die of it as they predicted would . lets hope its just a isolated case and its a simple explanation

I was affected by the BSE outbreak, couldn't eat a T Bone steak as beef on the bone was banned by John Major( the Government).

Yep ball hitch needed

the hoof gp

You need to consult with the hoof Gp and or get him in .dose a grand job . Boy your still wet and soggy .what a day for you .

Hi i worked on a farm for the government that was run by the M.O.D as a helper with the burning off cattle and bringing in lorry after lorry of dead cattle for burning it was grim and very highly protected

Get hoof gp in to check feet , get better tyres on land rover ,

Get some decent tyres on that landy

👀🙄🐾👍

Could be Time to Change one Land Rover for a Classic 4WD Tractor & Loader, True Stockmans Tractor for Yard 2. (Something for Freddie & Co to learn the Basics with) 👍👍

You need to keep those deer away from the cattle,as the can in fact them with tb

Unfortunately his fertility will be affected approx. six weeks after he became lame especially if he ran a temperature. Even if he is sound again in two weeks his fertility will take a hit in a few weeks. You'll have to factor this into your breeding plans.

I had Mad Cow Disease. But i dooont THin.k iT Had aNY LOng teerM eFfectS….. Moooooooo
