1. 0:01all right guys on today's video we are
2. 0:04looking at this foot right here and as
3. 0:06you can see there is a lot going on
4. 0:07we've got some heel horn erosion to take
5. 0:10a look at we've also got some incomplete
6. 0:12shedding and once again yes we've got a
7. 0:15white line defect right here that is
8. 0:18what's causing the discomfort for this
9. 0:19cow so that's what we're gonna get
10. 0:21started on right now
11. 0:27one of the questions that I get on
12. 0:29occasion is why don't you do any
13. 0:30trimming in the heel area of the foot
14. 0:32and in this case I actually am going to
15. 0:35trim some of that area because we've got
16. 0:37some heel horn erosion in that area what
17. 0:40happens basically is the slurry eats
18. 0:42away some of that horn and you get these
19. 0:44deep ridges in there that can Harbor
20. 0:46bacteria and stuff so we like to clean
21. 0:48those out on a on a lot of cows though
22. 0:50that area will be fully intact that heel
23. 0:53area we don't need to remove that that's
24. 0:55usually softer horn so that's an area of
25. 0:58cushioning don't tend to trim that I
26. 1:00like to keep those heels deeper for the
27. 1:02most part that helps with foot angle now
28. 1:05in this case I'm gonna use my knife for
29. 1:06a little bit of this trimming just
30. 1:07because we've got some incomplete
31. 1:08shedding here it's kind of satisfying to
32. 1:10remove some of those larger pieces with
33. 1:12the hoof knife let me get the grinder
34. 1:14out here to do some finish work in a
35. 1:15little bit
36. 1:25need a better look right now at the
37. 1:27problem at hand the effect that's
38. 1:29causing the discomfort and you can see
39. 1:31as I push down here that's telling me
40. 1:33there's a layer of false Soul there that
41. 1:36I need to remove
42. 2:14[Music]
43. 2:28whenever you have a false Soul you're
44. 2:30bound to have some debris packed up in
45. 2:32there that's we've got here a stone up
46. 2:34underneath that false soul
47. 2:43throughout my career I've trimmed nearly
48. 2:46a million feet now and it still
49. 2:48surprises me how much debris can get
50. 2:50packed inside a single hoof
51. 3:07even after all that trimming and
52. 3:09cleaning you can see there's still more
53. 3:11in there we got to go after
54. 4:00thank you
55. 4:17the knife work may seem meticulous at
56. 4:19this point because it is you're never
57. 4:22really sure what it's going to look like
58. 4:23underneath there so you got to be
59. 4:24careful as you work your way down
60. 5:10finally worked our way down to the
61. 5:12source of the problem and as you can see
62. 5:13here we've got some dermatitis that's
63. 5:15colonized on that corium and that's what
64. 5:17we need to take care of
65. 5:25and if you hadn't guessed it yet yes she
66. 5:27is going to need a block on that other
67. 5:28claw to elevate the problem claw off the
68. 5:31ground
69. 5:37a thorough spray down a salicylic acid
70. 5:40wrap and this girl is all done
71. 5:43coming up in future episodes guys we've
72. 5:45got some interesting ones for you you
