She Needed a METAL DETECTOR — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00I was just about to start the grinder,
2. 0:02and then I spotted this.
3. 0:04Welcome back
4. 0:05to Nate the Hoof Guy.
5. 0:12After just a couple passes of the knife,
6. 0:14a black oxidation ring starts to appear.
7. 0:17You'll find that anytime a piece of
8. 0:19metal gets lodged.
9. 0:30I actually thought this was just going
10. 0:31to pop right out. Guess not.
11. 0:54A lot of times when you find a piece of
12. 0:55metal, you can't really tell what it is,
13. 0:57and this is no different. It looks like
14. 0:59it's almost round. And after I poke this
15. 1:01hole, or poke the screwdriver in there
16. 1:03and clear the gunk out, guess what? It
17. 1:05is.
18. 1:13Now, even though I'm pretty sure that
19. 1:15didn't go all the way through, I'm still
20. 1:17going to dish this area out and make it
21. 1:19nice and smooth in there. The reason I'm
22. 1:20doing that is because these cows are
23. 1:22going to go out on pasture here pretty
24. 1:23quick, and if I leave that hole in
25. 1:25there, it's just going to pack full of
26. 1:27little tiny rocks, which eventually
27. 1:29could cause problems. So, as I dish this
28. 1:31out, we'll make this nice and smooth.
29. 1:33We're going to leave that sole deeper on
30. 1:35both the top and bottom, so it'll act
31. 1:37just like the kind of like the soles of
32. 1:38our shoes, where we'll have some uh
33. 1:40treads in there almost. So, once this
34. 1:43gets cleaned out, we'll give it a quick
35. 1:44trim, and then this foot will be done.
36. 1:47On to the next one.
37. 1:56I like it when that's the outcome, and
38. 1:58so does 3020 in this case. Now, on to
39. 2:01count number two.
40. 2:04As you can see with this one, this claw
41. 2:06is enlarged, and the problem, well, it
42. 2:08lies right here.
43. 2:16So, a little context with this
44. 2:18particular cow. She is 12 years old. So,
45. 2:21what we have to think about when we're
46. 2:23dealing with a cow of that age is that
47. 2:25this particular claw is enlarged. That
48. 2:28doesn't necessarily mean that there is
49. 2:30something going on in there active right
50. 2:32now. Now, with her, there actually is,
51. 2:35but just because we see that enlarged
52. 2:37claw, that can actually be something
53. 2:39that's happened many years prior, and
54. 2:41that that claw is going to stay
55. 2:43enlarged. It's not going to go back. In
56. 2:45fact, it's not just the outer parts of
57. 2:47that claw that become enlarged, it's
58. 2:49actually the inside as well. That pedal
59. 2:51bone on the inside, that can become
60. 2:53larger as well. So, we have to be
61. 2:55careful of that when we're making that
62. 2:57that trim in future times because we
63. 2:59don't necessarily
64. 3:01want to go too far down with that sole
65. 3:04because once again, that claw is
66. 3:06enlarged. So, if we were to lower that
67. 3:08just as low as that medial claw for the
68. 3:10claw on the left, we could actually be
69. 3:12thin soling this particular claw. So, we
70. 3:15have to kind of read that as we as we
71. 3:17make these trims, and that way we don't
72. 3:19have to worry about creating a thin sole
73. 3:21situation on an already enlarged
74. 3:23compromised claw.
75. 3:34Now, another thing you'll commonly see
76. 3:36with an enlarged claw like this is that
77. 3:38redness modeled throughout that claw.
78. 3:41Once again, because the pedal bone on
79. 3:43the inside has become larger,
80. 3:45then it's going to create a smaller
81. 3:48space in there and put more pressure on
82. 3:50in corium. So, that's why you see that
83. 3:52pinks and reds throughout that claw.
84. 3:54That's really common. Also, these
85. 3:56defects up above, those can be more
86. 3:58common as well because of this claw
87. 4:01being compromised in previous times. So,
88. 4:05you got to kind of take all of those
89. 4:06things into account when you're making a
90. 4:08trim. Understanding her age and
91. 4:10understanding what that claw is telling
92. 4:11you by its appearance helps guide you
93. 4:14through the trim.
94. 4:26Now, a lot of times these will track all
95. 4:28the way out up top at the hairline.
96. 4:30However, this one didn't do that. So,
97. 4:33what I have to do is just work my way
98. 4:34around these edges finding all of the
99. 4:37separated hoof hoof horn that I can and
100. 4:39removing it. Now, with this case and
101. 4:41with a lot of cases where you see an
102. 4:42enlarged claw, I'm going to use a block
103. 4:45simply to allow this other claw to rest
104. 4:47even if there wasn't an active problem
105. 4:49here. Because once again, we know that
106. 4:52that claw is compromised, we can see
107. 4:54those signs throughout that claw. It's a
108. 4:56perfect time to allow it to rest. Give
109. 4:58it some extra time, especially with a
110. 5:00cow of this age. It gives her more time
111. 5:02to to be or allows her to be more
112. 5:04comfortable with that block on that
113. 5:07claw. The only thing you got to be
114. 5:08careful of, obviously, is overloading it
115. 5:10for too long a period, but a good rest
116. 5:12period is perfect for a situation like
117. 5:15this. Gives her a break and gives that
118. 5:17claw break. Now, this white line defect
119. 5:19really is not that bad. In fact, most of
120. 5:21it is healed up. There's just a tiny
121. 5:23little bit left up there. So, we're
122. 5:25going to get that sprayed out and we're
123. 5:26going to get it wrapped.
124. 5:35So, if this cow was 12 and she's
125. 5:37considered to be older, how old do cows
126. 5:39live? Well, the oldest cow that I've
127. 5:41ever trimmed was 19 years old, confirmed
128. 5:43age I should say. I did trim one that
129. 5:46the farmer claimed was 30 years old.
130. 5:49However, that may have been an
131. 5:52exaggeration.
132. 5:53You never know with farmer stories. But
133. 5:56generally speaking, over 10, that's an
134. 5:58older cow.
135. 6:00Average age I'd say of the cows that we
136. 6:02you see on this channel are anywhere
137. 6:03between 3 and 7 years old.
138. 6:06This girl, well, she's starting to show
139. 6:08her age a little bit.
140. 6:10But guess what? So am I.
