Another great video. Always a bonus when you’ve posted one. Question. What are the red bands around the cow’s tail for?

@TheHoofGP Жыл бұрын

Thank you - they’re purely for identification - I think in this case the cow has stopped milking because she’s heavily pregnant and the red tapes tell the rest of the people on the farm

I love it in cases like this, when the cow (or bull, of course), starts to walk away after you've treated them, and after the first few automatic limps, as it were, they realise it doesn't hurt anymore! Graeme, forgive me if you've already done this, but when it comes the time for calves' first trim, could you do a video on it please? I've been trying to think when the best age is as a first go - whether it's more tied to teaching them about the crush or trimming the feet. Do you let very young ones run through the crush after their mother goes through first, so they get desensitized to it? I would really love to see a video of this subject. Again, apologies if I've missed one, but I can't think of one from the list I've gone through!

@13thMaiden Жыл бұрын

It's probably after the first weaning. Cattle usually have new vaccines and update checks at weaning, which involve crushes (along with scales too). But I do agree it would be cool to see how they do it!

@b.a.erlebacher1139 Жыл бұрын

You would be amused to know that actual scientific research has been done that shows that bent and straightened nails, even rusty ones, have superior holding capacity to new, straight ones. Each one is different and it's unlikely that any combination of stresses could work them loose. When I lived out in the bush decades ago, we used to buy rusty sap cans full of used nails for a pittance at farm auctions and used them for our building. My partner was a mechanical engineer and found the used nail research in a paper from the National Research Council of Canada, a government body.

@b.a.erlebacher1139 3 күн бұрын

@@awaredeshmukh3202 A straightened nail isn't as straight as a new nail. It's crooked in random ways. A bunch of straightened nails are all bent differently and would each need a different combination of forces to drive them back out. You can pry off a board nailed down with new nails fairly easily, because pulling them all the same way works since they are pretty much the same shape and orientation. Not so for used nails. But the rust and corroded surface help increase friction, too. There are a lot of "mathematician, physicist and engineer" jokes out there in which each one evaluates a situation and comes up with an analysis and proposed solution. The jokes are mostly about what level of abstraction is most useful in addressing a problem. In different jokes, one comes up with the best or most amusing answer. See if you can find some of them. Most are pretty good.

I like how it says 8 comments but there nothing here oh and it's so satisfying to see you care for their hooves. Also this why you shouldn't leave those ends on the ground. Or at least try to check around for those if you snap an end off by accident. Like even dumping ends on ground on purpose for any farrier is just not responsible if it wasn't an accident.
