Chapter 194: Chapter 192: Trimming Cattle Hooves, Ultimate Relief!

Jiang Feng just had a simple chat with Liu Yiyi.

The first conversation went well.

But neither of them was in a hurry, and they didn’t say much.

Life at the ranch remained peaceful.

The next morning, Jiang Feng started his livestream as usual.

There was new livestream content today, so Jiang Feng felt relaxed.

The video of the Nadamu Festival was still circulating online. The internet has its immediacy and lag; many people would enter the livestream room praising Jiang Feng’s performance in archery and horseback riding.

Even a few days later, people were still coming in to say so.

But in Jiang Feng’s mind, the Nadamu Festival had already passed.

He still focused on the present life.

"Today we’re livestreaming cow hoof trimming. Trimming cow hooves is similar to shoeing a horse; it’s all about taking care of their hooves."

"Cows’ hooves are easier to manage than horses’; you don’t need to shoe them, just trim them nicely."

"It’s more like clipping nails."

Jiang Feng explained to everyone.

As he spoke, Niu Erhu brought over two cows.

There were about a dozen cows with hoof problems, needing to be trimmed one by one.

Hoof trimming doesn’t require external help; any slightly experienced cattle farmer can do it.

Niu Erhu planned to handle it himself.

The drone’s camera focused on the hind hoof of one cow.

One could see that this cow’s left hind hoof was no longer in a regular shape, with a strange protruding chunk of keratin at the front.

When the cow walked, it would limp slightly when using this hoof, looking quite uncomfortable.

Viewers also felt uneasy watching this.

[Why does this hoof look so weird?]

[Hurry up and trim it; it’s making me uncomfortable!]

[Is it mutating?]

[This kind of hoof is okay, but the most satisfying is trimming hooves with interior lesions!]

Barrage kept pouring in.

Many people usually don’t watch relieving videos.

Now that they saw it in Jiang Feng’s livestream room, they couldn’t help but stay and watch.

Niu Erhu skillfully bent the cow’s hind leg, then clamped the hoof’s ankle with a fixer to ensure the hoof wouldn’t move around.

The drone filmed the condition of the cow’s hoof.

Jiang Feng watched and slowly explained:

"This cow hoof is relatively simple, just a bit deformed, but looking at its walking situation, there’s no problem inside."

"Just need to trim the shape."

As he was speaking, Niu Erhu began to work.

Niu Erhu used a small knife, continuously shaving the keratin off the cow’s hoof, looking just like peeling a potato.

With each cut, the white sole was exposed, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding dirty sole.

Cut by cut, the hoof became more regular.

After cleaning off the excess keratin, Niu Erhu picked up a grinder from the side, turned on the switch, and the grinder spun quickly.

Niu Erhu used the grinder to smooth the hoof, ensuring even pressure distribution.

The trimmed hoof was clean, and the sole looked brand new.

Then, Niu Erhu released the fixer and let the cow walk a few steps.

The cow immediately wobbled forward, looking quite leisurely.

"Done."

Niu Erhu nodded satisfactorily.

Jiang Feng also smiled slightly while watching the strolling cow.

"The first cow’s hoof is trimmed, and it’s easier since the internal tissue isn’t necrotic."

"There are two more cows here, whose hooves have obvious necrosis inside, and must be cleaned promptly."

Jiang Feng told everyone.

Viewers felt comforted by the cow’s normal walking.

Seeing an animal escape from its plight gives many people a satisfying feeling.

At this time, Niu Erhu brought out the second cow.

This cow limped when it walked, and when it stood, one hoof was lifted, not touching the ground.

That hoof was regular but bent, not bearing weight, as if stepping on the ground would be very painful.

It was apparent that this hoof was injured inside.

The cow’s eyes had tears, looking somewhat pitiful.

Jiang Feng couldn’t bear it either upon seeing this.

"This cow likely has necrotic tissue inside its hoof, which is a common situation needing our intervention."

"Otherwise, hoof injuries can last a long time, gradually growing deformed."

"It could even cause them so much pain they die."

Jiang Feng led the cow over.

Niu Erhu and Jiang Feng worked together to lift the cow’s injured hoof and secure it with a fixer.

Viewers felt a pang of compassion.

[Looks so pitiful, what does necrosis mean?]

[This hoof looks normal from the outside; why can’t the cow walk?]

[How do you fix this kind of hoof?]

[Today’s video is great; it’s another relieving day!]

Without needing to say much, Niu Erhu was already using a small knife and a water gun to clean the cow’s hoof.

He first used a high-pressure water gun to rinse, then began shaving the hoof with the knife.

The cow’s hoof splits into two parts, both the left and right sides needed trimming, revealing white marks.

After only a few cuts, the left side was fine, still new, but in the middle of the right part was a chopstick-sized blood hole.

Seeing the blood hole in the hoof, viewers shuddered.

Whoa!

This feeling was quite strange.

It was somewhat like Jiang Feng treating the dog a few days ago, cleaning the fly larvae from its skin.

Niu Erhu continued to scrape downward on the cow’s right hoof with a knife.

The hoof was scraped open a bit, and black pus and blood began oozing out of the cavity.

Some viewers felt uneasy and commented:

[Someone said horses don’t feel pain? Everyone can rest assured, even if you cut off its leg, the horse won’t feel pain, because this, my friends, is a cow!]

[Does it not hurt this way?]

[Not only does the cow not feel pain, it might even feel the wound is tickling!]

[What’s being scraped is the hoof, which is a thick nail, so it doesn’t hurt!]

[This kind of thing needs to be scraped open to remove all the necrotic tissue!]

The comments kept rolling in.

At this point, Niu Erhu was still scraping downward.

It was originally a cavity, but as the connective tissue was scraped away, the size of the wound grew larger and larger.

You could see that it was all necrotic inside, but because the hoof was sealed, the pus couldn’t flow out, so the wound kept deteriorating.

After all this effort, a large irregular wound was exposed.

Niu Erhu used a water gun to rinse out the clotted blood in the wound.

This wound was at the junction where the skin tissue connects to the hoof, equivalent to the nail bed.

Occasionally, when a cow’s hoof gets injured, the inside ends up like this.

Seeing the wound deep in the cow’s hoof fully exposed and the pus cleaned out, the viewers felt a sense of relief.

This is the feeling they wanted.

This stuff you can’t clean out gets cleaned out, and it just feels satisfying.

But at this point, the left and right cow hooves were asymmetrical.

The left hoof was still intact, but the right hoof had been scraped deeply, exposing flesh and blood.

Staring at the crimson wound, the viewers wondered how it should be treated.

Then, they saw Jiang Feng hand Niu Erhu a medicine jar.

Niu Erhu poured the white powder from the jar onto the cow’s hoof.

In an instant, the white powder directly filled the wound on the hoof.

Jiang Feng told everyone:

"After disinfecting the wound, you need to apply salicylic acid powder and then wrap the hoof properly."

"Then just let it heal slowly."

Saying this, Niu Erhu put a layer of cotton on the hoof, covering the thick salicylic acid powder, and began wrapping the injured hoof with bandages.

This injured hoof was quickly wrapped up.

A cap was added to the other hoof to prevent it from becoming taller, so that it wouldn’t hurt the injured one when walking.

With that, the cow hoof’s repair was complete.

This process of clearing out necrotic tissue was very stress-relieving.

The viewers felt all their pores relaxing.

[So satisfying!]

[Clean up another one!]

[Stream more of these things!]

Niu Erhu put the hoof down, and this time, the cow finally rested its hoof on the ground.

It mooed softly, then stared at Niu Erhu and Jiang Feng for a moment as Gelya led it, swaying, back to the dairy farm.

There were still a few cows needing treatment, as a guy from the farm led the injured cows over.

Treating the cow hooves was quick, just carving open the wound, disinfecting it, adding powder, and then bandaging it up.

One cow’s hoof was in particularly bad shape, with a stone deeply embedded inside.

The viewers found the treatment satisfying.

After giving the cow hooves a fix, the cows could recuperate well at the farm, and they’d be fine once healed.

The streaming remained laid-back as usual.

The viewers also found it relaxing.

When the stream ended, Jiang Feng saw a message from Liu Yiyi on WeChat.

Liu Yiyi is 20 years old, studying Chinese at Inner Mongolia University in Hohhot City, currently in her fourth year. She got an early start in school because of family connections, so she’s younger than others in her major.

Inner Mongolia University is the best in the province, and her family preferred she didn’t go elsewhere, so she chose to study here because it was convenient to go home.

Liu Yiyi is the type with good family upbringing but slightly introverted, with mild social anxiety.

She has excellent qualities, high looks, a soft personality, a small circle, and many pursuers at school, but she’s never accepted any.

She has an aunt who’s a vice-dean and professor at the school, and she just followed along with her. Her aunt is very upright, and Liu Yiyi listens to the elders, being a well-mannered girl.

Liu Yiyi loves life on the grassland, with cats, dogs, cows, and sheep. She enjoys herding them at home and especially loves gardening, growing flowers and plants.

She admired Jiang Feng’s confident and bold demeanor during his stream.

When she sends him messages, she hesitates for a long time, wondering if she shouldn’t, or if it seems too forward, and so on.

Jiang Feng, however, is easygoing. At least for now, the chats between them have been quite pleasant.

"Hulunbei’er Grassland is beautiful. This season, it’s the best."

Jiang Feng and Liu Yiyi were having a casual chat.

Hulunbei’er Grassland is one of the world’s four major grasslands, and in terms of beauty, it indeed surpasses Xilingol’s grasslands.

Liu Yiyi sent a photo, showing a sheepdog with white and gray, mixed with some orange patterns.

It’s an Australian Milk Candy, looking very similar to the merle-colored Border Collie.

This Australian Milk Candy’s biggest feature is the orange imprint around its eyes, looking like eye shadow, especially pretty.

Jiang Feng loves dogs and was instantly drawn to this Australian Milk Candy.

"This shepherd dog I raise, called Milk Candy, looks great, doesn’t it?"

Liu Yiyi sent via WeChat.

Seeing this shepherd dog, Jiang Feng replied:

"Such high beauty! This dog is really nice."

As he chatted, Xiaojin Hua ran over to lie beside Jiang Feng, acting cute.

Looking at the over-one-year-old Xiaojin Hua, at this age, Xiaojin Hua is considered an adult.

"Xiaojin Hua, look at this dog, isn’t it pretty?"

Jiang Feng zoomed in on the phone photo for Xiaojin Hua, who stared at the screen and burst into a smile upon seeing the Australian Milk Candy, wagging its tail, and looking at Jiang Feng excitedly.

Clearly, it’s very satisfied.

Seeing it like that, Jiang Feng laughed: "No rush, we’ll definitely find you a girlfriend in the future."
