*HUGE HOLE* in YOUNG BULL's HOOF — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00This extremely hyped up little bull has
2. 0:02got an incredibly sore fun right foot.
3. 0:04So sore that he doesn't want to put it
4. 0:06on the ground. And we're hoping there's
5. 0:08something we can do about it. This is
6. 0:11the hoof GPU.
7. 0:14[singing and music]
8. 0:16When I see you dance and the moments
9. 0:19[singing]
10. 0:19when I fall and go slow,
11. 0:24I fall into you.
12. 0:33This we guy is absolutely mental, aren't
13. 0:37you, pal? But he does not want to touch
14. 0:40the floor with his front foot. Do you?
15. 0:43He is scared wetless. And I'd love you
16. 0:46to be able to see that he can't touch
17. 0:47the ground with that front right foot.
18. 0:50Well, there's no way I'm letting him
19. 0:51back out of that race now that he's in
20. 0:52there. By the way, if you're watching

32. 1:18one car in the truck right now that
33. 1:20Craig's just trimming away just now with
34. 1:21a very small problem and then we're
35. 1:23going to get him in. Whenever you're
36. 1:25dealing with any lively animal, you're
37. 1:27always slightly apprehensive about how
38. 1:30his journey into the crush might go.
39. 1:36It's important to remember that Castle
40. 1:38who act in a wild way are just
41. 1:40absolutely petrified of us.
42. 1:42>> So, he is only really sore on one of his
43. 1:44feet and he's really young as well. So,
44. 1:46he probably doesn't need the rest of his
45. 1:48feet trimmed. We'll check the rest of
46. 1:50his feet, but probably won't trim them.
47. 1:52Yeah, his back feet are absolutely
48. 1:53perfect. So, there's no point whatsoever
49. 1:55doing that. Something's clearly gone
50. 1:56wrong with this front foot, and it is
51. 1:58pretty obvious. He's got a hole right up
52. 2:01into his foot. That is not good. Right,
53. 2:04this foot actually isn't a bad size at
54. 2:07all. We can get it ready for a block,
55. 2:09though, because clearly he's going to
56. 2:11need it. I'm not using the grinder
57. 2:13because my hand could not take it right
58. 2:17now.
59. 2:23And you can do everything that we do
60. 2:26with a grinder. You can achieve with a
61. 2:28knife. It just takes a little bit
62. 2:29longer. That is all.
63. 2:35And just model it out. Right. We'll get
64. 2:38rid of that bit of pith as well and that
65. 2:40bit of duct. And that is nothing. This
66. 2:43little scratch, I don't want to take it
67. 2:44any thinner than it already is. And this
68. 2:46little tiny bit isn't really a crack.
69. 2:48It's just a slight indentation. Path is
70. 2:50basically just when the hooforn is
71. 2:52naturally shedding away, it turns into
72. 2:53this sort of powdery stuff. I'm assuming
73. 2:56they call it pith because it looks like
74. 2:58the pith of an orange, a kind of powdery
75. 3:00white [music] substance you get
76. 3:01underneath the edge of skin, right?
77. 3:11Now I think it's pretty plain for us all
78. 3:13to see why he is walking or rather not
79. 3:18walking on this foot.
80. 3:23[music] I'm just going to work our way
81. 3:24backwards
82. 3:26reducing the entire size of the whole
83. 3:28foot.
84. 3:31And the idea is we'll work from the
85. 3:33edges in and that way all we take away
86. 3:36is [music] the hoof horn. That is no
87. 3:38use. His foot actually sort of curves in
88. 3:40the way as well.
89. 3:44[music]
90. 3:47Going to reduce the heel as well because
91. 3:48he's not going to need it anyway cuz
92. 3:50like I said, we definitely are going
93. 3:53[music] to put a block on here. Well,
94. 3:55not on here, but on here.
95. 3:59I asked the [music] farmer off camera
96. 4:01the history of this little guy, and it
97. 4:04turns out that he probably had an
98. 4:06accident when he was a young [music]
99. 4:07calf last year. His foot was never quite
100. 4:10the right shape.
101. 4:12>> Wow, look at that. [music]
102. 4:13>> And as he's gotten older and heavier,
103. 4:15it's become a real issue for him.
104. 4:17[music] As we saw when we first lifted
105. 4:19it, it wasn't particularly overgrown,
106. 4:21but [music] as I told you, it was
107. 4:23incredibly sore.
108. 4:30We are [music] obviously going to attach
109. 4:32a block to his good claw to raise the
110. 4:34sore one up off the ground, [music]
111. 4:36thereby allowing it to heal and giving
112. 4:39him some very much needed pain relief.
113. 4:42So, [music] we've prepared that outer
114. 4:43claw with the grinder just to speed the
115. 4:45process up a little bit. Right [music]
116. 4:48now, the finer details. This is where
117. 4:51the trim can completely fall to pieces.
118. 4:53[music]
119. 4:54It's where we make our money and it's
120. 4:56where we make the difference.
121. 5:01[music]
122. 5:08[music]
123. 5:14His food is clearly a mess, [music] but
124. 5:17strangely enough, I'm fairly happy with
125. 5:20how it's turned out. I'm happy that
126. 5:22we've removed [music] everything that we
127. 5:23can from the front of his foot. And I'm
128. 5:25happy that this clot will be up off the
129. 5:27ground, not causing him the pain that it
130. 5:30was 10 minutes [music] ago.
131. 5:34All that remains to be seen now is how
132. 5:36he leaves the crush and how he walks on
133. 5:39that block.
134. 5:41[music]
135. 5:50He was maybe scared earlier on, but now
136. 5:52[music] I'm the apprehensive one and I'm
137. 5:54not going to give him any more
138. 5:55opportunities. He already has. [music]
139. 5:58I'm glad to say though, he seems to be
140. 6:00walking pretty well.
141. 6:04>> He was thinking about that for a minute
142. 6:06there,
143. 6:08>> my chest,
144. 6:11everything.
145. 6:13I don't know if he liked you.
146. 6:15>> Lovely. All right. Cheers, James.
147. 6:20>> He is [music] definitely walking better,
148. 6:21but he's got his back up. His blood's up
149. 6:23because he's scared of us. It's hard to
150. 6:25know how well he's going to walk and
151. 6:26we're not there. All I do know is, and
152. 6:29you didn't see this, he was touching the
153. 6:31ground maybe every third step before we
154. 6:33put that block on. And now he's touching
155. 6:35it with every step. So, for me, that's a
156. 6:37win. And I'm going to take it. Remember,
157. 6:40[music] by the way, I did ask you to
158. 6:42subscribe. So, if you haven't by now,
159. 6:44you should think about your life
160. 6:45choices. Catch you in the next one.
161. 6:48Bye-bye.
