1. 0:12Hello everyone and welcome back to Nate
2. 0:14the Hoof Guy. Today's video we are on
3. 0:16one of my grazing herds and we have
4. 0:18found this foot right here and it
5. 0:19doesn't take long to figure out what the
6. 0:21problem is.
7. 0:31And yes, you guessed it, there's a
8. 0:33defect high in that white line and some
9. 0:35small stones have found their way up
10. 0:37into that defect.
11. 1:00And you all know exactly what we have to
12. 1:02do now. That's right, we need to remove
13. 1:04this loose horn.
14. 1:48I get questions quite a bit asking how
15. 1:50do the cattle react to your equipment?
16. 1:52Are they afraid of it? As you can see
17. 1:54here, they're not afraid whatsoever. In
18. 1:56fact, they're very curious. One of their
19. 1:58favorite things to do is sniff and lick
20. 2:01all of my equipment and pull my grinders
21. 2:03on the ground
22. 2:04until they get bored, then they head
23. 2:06back out to pasture.
24. 2:08This one here, well,
25. 2:10we're not going to milk that one.
26. 2:15And now back to our cow from today,
27. 2:17let's finish cleaning up this white line
28. 2:18and get her back to her herd.
29. 2:28When removing loose horn, you got to
30. 2:29remember we only want to remove what we
31. 2:30can safely. We don't want to take off
32. 2:32too much of this outside wall, and we
33. 2:34don't want to take away anything that's
34. 2:35still attached.
35. 3:00From this angle, looking at that outside
36. 3:02wall, it may look like I should remove
37. 3:04more of that. When we do this close-up
38. 3:06here in a minute, you'll see that it's
39. 3:07still attached.
40. 3:28And of course, right on cue, as if she
41. 3:30knows what I'm trying to do, she moves
42. 3:33her foot when I'm trying to set that
43. 3:34block. Luckily, I had enough time, got
44. 3:36it in place without any problems.
45. 3:38As we zoom in here, you can see that
46. 3:40outside wall in this area there, it's
47. 3:42still attached. I don't want to keep
48. 3:43cutting any more of that. That's a
49. 3:45perfect spot to stop. Now all I got to
50. 3:47do is clean up all around the edges a
51. 3:49little bit better, and then clean that
52. 3:51really well up above, and you should be
53. 3:53ready for a wrap.
54. 3:56Now, you might also be wondering, why
55. 3:58not remove that entire sole and make it
56. 4:01one level completely flat all the way
57. 4:02across right now? The reason I don't do
58. 4:05that is because sometimes those rubber
59. 4:06blocks that we put on there, they fall
60. 4:08off. And, like I've shown in other
61. 4:10videos, when a cow takes a step, it's
62. 4:13that outside claw that makes contact
63. 4:15with the ground first, and specifically
64. 4:17that heel area. So, if we remove all of
65. 4:19that, and that block does come off, she
66. 4:22will be putting pressure directly on
67. 4:23that open area. We don't want that to
68. 4:25happen, so that's why I leave that on
69. 4:27there. We can always check that later at
70. 4:28the at the
71. 4:30at the recheck or the follow-up, and
72. 4:32take that off then. And this girl
73. 4:34is ready to go. Get this foot down, let
74. 4:36her out, and you're going to see, just
75. 4:38like a kitty get something stuck to its
76. 4:40paw,
77. 4:41she tries to get it off, but she can't.
78. 4:45All right, guys. As always, thanks for
79. 4:47watching, and we will see you all
80. 4:49on the next one.
