    It’s incredible that a cow can recover from an injury like that after receiving the proper care. As a layman, I would have assumed that their weight and environment would make recovery from an injury like that impossible, but I’m happy to see that there are professionals like yourself out there to help animals live pain free.

    I'm amazed too and I've kept a small herd of cows for 15 years. There are some biologic differences that make them able to recover from things that would surely kill a human; they have a higher body temp so some bacteria can't survive in their bodies. Also, their feet have a LOT of blood circulation b/c they can stand in the wet, cold, freezing conditions (of the upper midwest in the US) over a length of time and not get frost bite. Finally, their hoof horn grows really fast, much faster than say, our finger nails. And as Graeme has pointed out the environment they live in has a big impact. My beefers live outside year round and in 15 years I have had only one hoof problem of note and I have never had them trimmed. My pet dairy cows are a different story, partly I think b/c they are on a higher nutrition plane compared to the beef herd.

    @@gorillaau as far as my knowledge goes it actually depends on the type of horse. to my understanding the problem is that most horses are just bone, sinew and skin from the knee down, which is an issue when their legs get damaged, injuries to the lower leg of most commonly seen horses almost always go down to the bone, where there are also arteries and injuries to the bone almost never heal properly. cows and larger draft horses have a lot more soft tissue on their leg bones which keeps them protected and allows for them to heal better. another huge advantage cows have over horses is that cows have two hooves on each foot, so if one is injured you can put a block on the other so the bad one can heal, horses only have one hoof on each foot and if that goes bad, there is little you can do.

    The term "doe-eyed" didn't actually come from deer when it was first coined, it came from female cows. In the medieval era, to be compared to a cow was usually favorable/a compliment, due to how much cattle and sheep were prized. So, I get what Graeme says about their eyes. They're such beautiful creatures.

We all loved him and had a hard time saying goodbye. I believe that cattle are much more intelligent than we give them credit for and are actually easy to love (other than on the grill). I am hoping that we collectively rethink how we treat them (not the ones the Hoof GP visit but I’m thinking more of the ones in the US from an industrial standpoint).

    I could listen to you talk all day long with your Scottish accent. I live in Michigan and we don’t have hear to many people from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 That poor cow must have been in so much pain with the hoof problems and rotting flesh. I’ve never smelled that but when you said it smelled like rotting flesh all I could think about was an old chicken part or old hamburger that didn’t get thrown out on time. You do explain your procedures and why your approach to hoof issues so even an, Old Crazy Cat Babe like me could appreciate your work. Thank you for taking the time to post your skills I look at farming in a more understanding what my grandfather and father’s lives were like on their farm. My grandfather had a farm here in Michigan up in the thumb area before tractors, back then he had to grow food for his family and his animals; all he had was a work horse that was a mix between a Belgian and a Clydesdale. He took such good care of his animals because he had to depend on each for its job. However come Saturday night there was a dance and pot luck dinner at somebody’s barn, my grandfather was the one who made the moonshine, his shine was so good J. Edgar Hoover tried to arrest my granddad for his shine. The shine was kept cool in a dug out under the chicken house and the geese kept bitting Mr. Hoover so he offered my father $20. to slide under the coupe to get the shine so they could arrest my grandfather, my dad threw a big rock at Mr. Hoover and told him to, “get back into his fancy car and leave my father alone, there ain’t no shine under the chickens.” So Mr. Hoover got into his car angry as heck because nobody fears him then he wasn’t the big FBI guy he was later in his years. People had to do what they could to feed and clothe their families back then.

He believed they look into your soul, and where my eyes teared up and ran down my face. I have had little contact with cows unfortunately. As a kid, I would ride my bike to where a lot of cows lived. As soon as I stopped, a herd of them lumbered up to the fence very curious. They were gentle and let me scratch the top of their head briefly. I wasn't sure if they were just curious or liked the attention. I loved them and still do. Now, watching these clips, I have thankfully learned so much more.
