12. 0:28you dance in the moment when comes when
13. 0:31I fall then time goes
14. 0:34slow I fall into
15. 0:42you right round two during this video
16. 0:46here we really really struggled in fact
17. 0:49struggled we failed to get this bull in
18. 0:51we tried and tried and tried and tried
19. 0:53and tried it was just for a routine trim
20. 0:55but in the end we had to give up cuz we
21. 0:58didn't want to stress them any more or
22. 1:00anything I'm whispering cuz I'm back
23. 1:01here and I don't want to make them
24. 1:03scared we are back and unfortunately
25. 1:06this big bu has gone lame so we need to
26. 1:10get him into the crush this time Charles
27. 1:12is struggling he doesn't want to upset
28. 1:14the bill but he needs to go
29. 1:19in he's clearly not wild in any way but
30. 1:23he is huge compared to us he's probably
31. 1:27six or seven or eight or nine times the
32. 1:29weight No in fact about 11 or 12 times
33. 1:32think about it those two are not being
34. 1:34much to help the boys are using the
35. 1:36age-old tactic of a
36. 1:38female and it seems to have
37. 1:43worked I'm trying to stay completely out
38. 1:45the way and really really did not want
39. 1:47to scare
40. 1:49them even the cow's hesitating now
41. 1:52though
42. 2:01we try and entice the Carin and once
43. 2:03she's in hopefully he'll
44. 2:27follow we've managed to get the cow into
45. 2:29Crush obviously but you can hear in the
46. 2:31background they're really struggling to
47. 2:33get this guy in but he is lame so we
48. 2:35need to do something we try and try and
49. 2:37try in vain but tempers are getting
50. 2:46[Music]
51. 2:52flared as we've all seen in the past
52. 2:55these Bulls can take an immense amount
53. 2:57of time just to get into the Crush but
54. 3:00perseverance is key and we're finally
55. 3:03starting to get somewhere Come On Come
56. 3:05On
57. 3:05Son yeah come
58. 3:09on I jump the wall and hold the gate
59. 3:11round on him in an effort to tell him
60. 3:14there's no route out here for him and to
61. 3:16guide him in the right direction finally
62. 3:19he makes his
63. 3:24move after all that effort we've got him
64. 3:27into our Crush but the story isn't over
65. 3:30yet his head isn't locked in position
66. 3:33and it could still go wrong from
67. 3:35here luckily though he decides to play
68. 3:39ball as soon as I went in you see that
69. 3:42he came
70. 3:44forward last week he's just is he is he
71. 3:48limping he's slightly zor on this back
72. 3:50right foot and he want to get a proper
73. 3:52look at it so get straight to work
74. 3:59say those words go and just shout it
75. 4:03out just be honest be a that right
76. 4:09now
77. 4:10[Music]
78. 4:14it's unfortunately nothing obvious is
79. 4:17materializing and in becoming frustrated
80. 4:20I really want to help this big
81. 4:23guy just spray his feet with like no
82. 4:27nothing no I was wondering if it had Dam
83. 4:29Titus is his we bit of blood right the
84. 4:31back but he's probably just kicked the
85. 4:32gate yeah that's what I
86. 4:35thought my first Port of Call is to
87. 4:37search all around the feet and then use
88. 4:39hoof testers to apply pressure to each
89. 4:41individual digit in order to determine
90. 4:45if either of them is giving him
91. 4:47[Music]
92. 4:57pain I thought so I was like I was
93. 5:00imagining that or that this bull is
94. 5:03being restrained in a crush against his
95. 5:05will and I'm touching his foot and need
96. 5:08to be sure that what I saw actually was
97. 5:11indicative of
98. 5:12[Music]
99. 5:15pain I'm not completely certain but
100. 5:18believe this is our best chance of
101. 5:20giving him some relief from the problem
102. 5:23which is currently hidden out of sight
103. 5:25so we're going to attach a block to this
104. 5:27outer claw because I'm certain it is
105. 5:36painfree I think I've just spotted
106. 5:39another problem has he ever been lay on
107. 5:41his
108. 5:46front the cracking around the hairline
109. 5:49or Coronet as we call it is a real sign
110. 5:52that there's a problem beneath problems
111. 5:54like these have nothing to do with the
112. 5:56Bull's genetics and everything to do
113. 5:58with the task of just being a b want to
114. 6:01make sure this is nothing
115. 6:10un there's definite separation
116. 6:19there there little bits of grit stuck up
117. 6:22in there this is obviously completely
118. 6:24separated if you got another block
119. 6:27please because this build's not working
120. 6:29can just now he not showing sign of
121. 6:31lameness on here but we're thinning out
122. 6:33this margins thinning out this wall and
123. 6:36he needs it to walk on so if we were
124. 6:38just to leave this unblocked
125. 6:41uned it would end up being a problem
126. 6:44this is going to link up all the way
127. 6:48through this is why we wanted them in
128. 6:50last time to avoid problems like this
129. 6:52happening luckily we got them in now
130. 6:57though we'll get that block on
131. 7:00despite this front left foot not showing
132. 7:02signs of lameness right now Charles
133. 7:04already told me that there had been an
134. 7:06issue on it and I have absolutely no
135. 7:08doubt in my mind had we not treated it
136. 7:10again today properly that it would rear
137. 7:13its ugly head once
138. 7:18again this is tracking right up look
139. 7:21there's actually a bit of the moist
140. 7:23moist stuff in there that we really
141. 7:25don't like to
142. 7:26see still splitting right around there
143. 7:29look at
144. 7:33that currently this bull is not required
145. 7:36to work so this is actually the perfect
146. 7:38time to be messing around with this
147. 7:40problem so that he has adequate time for
148. 7:43it to completely heal and he can be
149. 7:45ready fighting fit for the breeding
150. 7:47season ahead because that blocks on
151. 7:50there I'm not worried about taking
152. 7:51excess to far and away from here I'm
153. 7:54more worried that this would be a proper
154. 7:56problem I'd give him a Jag C for back
155. 7:59foot cuz I was going to say that for
156. 8:01that anyway but it'll help on this too
157. 8:04Metacam is a strong anti-inflammatory
158. 8:06drug which will help to reduce the pain
159. 8:08and inflammation within the Bull's hoof
160. 8:10capsule so we can't actually find what's
161. 8:12wrong with this but he did react under
162. 8:14the hoof testers which is why we put
163. 8:16that block on to try and take some of
164. 8:19the pressure off
165. 8:20this there is a tiny little crack
166. 8:27there wouldn't be good if that just went
167. 8:31no it's not going to
168. 8:35good rather predictably he decides to
169. 8:38sit down in our Crush these crushes are
170. 8:41designed predominantly for cows and
171. 8:42because Bulls are so front heavy they
172. 8:44can slip forward on the belly bands
173. 8:46leading to this situation they're
174. 8:48completely and utterly safe it just
175. 8:51becomes a problem when we need to lift
176. 8:53his other feet luckily for us though
177. 8:56it's also pretty easily fixed so we can
178. 8:59quickly reset get his feet back in the
179. 9:01air and continue on with the mission of
180. 9:04making sure that all of his feet are in
181. 9:06the best condition
182. 9:18possible Bulls can be Troublesome Big
183. 9:21Fellas for us who trimmers and because
184. 9:23they weigh so much this guy for instance
185. 9:25weighs around
186. 9:27£2,400 or just over a ton and because of
187. 9:31all of that weight going through each
188. 9:33and every one of their digits it can and
189. 9:35often does lead to many problems take
190. 9:38this inner digit that I'm working on
191. 9:40right now for example it has a sand
192. 9:42crack running vertically up the dorsal
193. 9:45wall or the frontal wall the one we
194. 9:47can't see right now I need to take my
195. 9:50knife and remove as much of that crack
196. 9:52as possible but most importantly I need
197. 9:55to remove the very top of the start of
198. 9:58this crack
199. 9:59because that is where it emanates from
200. 10:01and that is where it continues to crack
201. 10:04through the foot if we don't remove the
202. 10:06very beginning of the crack we will only
203. 10:08have achieved better Aesthetics we won't
204. 10:11actually have done anything to remedy
205. 10:13and cure the
206. 10:16crack oh here the
207. 10:20stones there are tiny minute pieces of
208. 10:23gravel completely embedded within this
209. 10:26crack and they must be causing pressure
210. 10:29if I'm able to do a good and complete
211. 10:31job I'll completely be able to alleviate
212. 10:34that
213. 10:35[Music]
214. 10:37pressure right out the bat I knew I
215. 10:40loved
216. 10:41you you had that sparkle in your
217. 10:45eyes some kind of Shimmer in your
218. 10:50presence unlike no other I had
219. 10:54met you got me spinning out of cont
220. 10:59not really sure what I should
221. 11:02[Music]
222. 11:04do that's basically a sand crack this
223. 11:06has been a problem I take it right out
224. 11:08this is a job I'm really happy with
225. 11:15sing there ain't no other
226. 11:19way but you
227. 11:21sing to
228. 11:23[Music]
229. 11:26me just to be clear by the way we felt
230. 11:28bad for Charles not being here last time
231. 11:30cuz he likes to be in the videos and
232. 11:31that's partly why we didn't put the bill
233. 11:33in the crush just to be clear thank you
234. 11:36you're
235. 11:37welcome and with that slightly less than
236. 11:39true statement we can finally let this
237. 11:42big boy and his beautiful love heart
238. 11:43tattoo out of the crush and back to the
239. 11:46field it's rare that we put three blocks
240. 11:48onto a bull but he really will feel the
241. 11:51benefit of it just like that he is a way
242. 11:54back up the track to his lovely lady
243. 11:56friends in the field I'm so glad we got
244. 11:59got him in the crush we always always
245. 12:00get them in the end it's just a little
246. 12:02bit of a shame we didn't get him before
247. 12:04he went lame this time had we got him in
248. 12:06the first time he wouldn't have gone
249. 12:08lame and we wouldn't have had this
250. 12:09problem but it is what it is and he is
251. 12:11well on his way to recovery and That Jag
252. 12:14that Charles gave him will make it pain
253. 12:16free for him youve been watching the
254. 12:18pgp thank you very much for joining us
255. 12:21see you next time
