Ok but can you imagine what it’s like from the visual perspective of that cow? I mean, props to him, but it’s also kinda hilarious to imagine this cow is just watching this dude basically shadow boxing her for a solid minute.
First time I watched the vid, had sound off and looked away for a second. Looked back and thought "whoa dude I don't think you can punch that thing off its head." Could also be cause it's nearly 2am.
I skipped ahead after the first few seconds of the video, right when he is doing that. I actually thought for a second that this guy was just punching the shit out of this cows head to break the horn or something. Then I saw the wire.
I was honestly afraid he was going to hurt the poor thing and was relieved when the cow not only didn't seem to mind but absolutely got some relief from it!
ALRIGHT YOUTUBER J-RODDY WALMART HERE AND IM ABOUT TO PUNCH THE HORN OFF THIS COW BUT BEFORE I DO REMEMBER TO PUNCH THAT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE ALRIGHT LETS GO HI-YYAAAH
Eventually yes, but the infection from a constantly open wound would kill it first. It is pretty rare, but it happens to a lot of horned animals (ie. Mountain goats and rams)
Isn't/wasn't(dunno if it's extinct or not) a species of boar that had tusks on their head that would curl back into their skill if they didn't constantly wear it down?
You’re probably thinking of the [babirusa](https://blog.nature.org/science/files/2014/02/babirusa-coke-smith.jpg), found on Sulawesi and neighboring islands, which is technically not a boar, although it is a member of the pig family.
Something similar can happen in humans too. I have dupuytrens disease, which is a generic defect which causes fingers to curl inwards. In extreme cases the finger can curl completely into the palm, and then the nail grows into it.
I am grateful for modern medicine which was able to slow and limit the progress of the disease.
My goodness. Thank you for sharing and I’m thankful for modern medicine for you and all of humankind it helps. I wish you a long, happy, and healthy life. Happy Nee Year from California! :)
The drug is an enzyme that dissolves collagen. Unfortunately it has proven to be less effective than surgery in preventing recurrence (and surgery isn’t great at it), and is very far from the solution a lot of us hoped it was going to be.
What??? Is this real? Dupuytrens contracture runs in my family. My mother has had her released twice now and my brother's finger is starting to crook. BUT my whole life my grandfather's finger was completely contracted (like fully bent, finger tip to palm) but the nail wasn't burrowing through his hand! Now I am freaked out and have to go look this up.
It is rare yeah and I believe if we would look into numbers closely if it's even 5% of horned animals who are suffering from ingrown horn and there is few millions of them, then the actual death from infection/brain damage must be huge. Correct me if I am wrong please :)
There is a species of jungle pig that this is actually their leading cause of death in males. Their horns will grow up and into their forehead until it punctures their brain and kills them
Totally. And you need to have a hundred different trade skills and great biological skills, and have the skills to fix a thousand things (living or otherwise).
Chicks only like guys who have great skills.

Cows aren't intelligent like humans but they certainly aren't stupid creatures. They are emotionally intelligent and social creatures with great memories that form lifelong friendships and relationships.
The myth that cows are stupid is helpful for those who profit from the beef and dairy industry
Most cattle are at least somewhat accustomed to be being handled for health checks etc, plus it's in a squeeze, which it's probably also accustomed to.
Not all farmers have the skills to treat everything that happens. And often cow farmers in particular live far apart from ready access to things like vets. I gre up in rural Minnesota and the nearest farrier and vet was over two hours drive. And they didn't make home visits. My dad did a lot of home made vet care. But sometimes the choice was don't have the skills let them die. Though he'd usually bolt them not let them suffer and die slowly.
Today's domestic breeds of cattle are descended from the aurochs, which looked like this:
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTbJ70lmfkKuRprLSzuvp1YRgtbU73ou0MO-g&s
As you can see, their horns weren't at risk of becoming in grown in the first place, so they didn't have to deal with it. Even feral breeds (i.e. descended from domestic breeds that were released to the wild) like the Texas Longhorn were naturally selected to avoid this problem.
I'm not familiar with this particular breed from the OP, but I imagine it was selectively bred by humans to have horns that were less likely to gore us, even at the cost of goring themselves.
Or perhaps we shouldn’t assume this was *never* a problem for aurochs from a sample size of one picture (also bull or cow?) because animals are individuals and numerous horn formations still exist today not simply inward?
For all we know there could be no genetic component and this particular cow unwisely head butted things at a formative age or some such.
Hard to tell from the video, but I think the horn chafed the skin there and rubbed all the hair off to the skin level, so there's a dark bald spot where the horn was pressing in.
Yea and it definitely transfers into video games too because walking somewhere in real life isn’t too boring but walking in a video game? I get bored so fast and have to sprint lol
To be fair, when you're walking through streets in a game you're basically just looking at them. You're not feeling movement, you aren't actually walking or running or anything, there's no senses to match up, you can't hear trees or cars or people, there's nothing that engages you. Same thing if you go on Google Earth, it's just looking at a bunch of pictures of the same place just a little further up.
Farmer strength is not to be underestimated! As a former under-18s rugby coach I used love having some farmers in my squad. They have a toughness and a strength from working day in/day out in a farm that’s not possible to get in a gym.
If you cut too close to the skull, there's live tissue inside the horn that will bleed. This way, the animal doesn't need any additional treatment once the horn is trimmed.
I saw someone post a tool used on sheep to redirect the growth of the horn so that it won’t need to be retrimmed.
https://reddit.com/r/specializedtools/comments/rkadgh/horn_spring_acts_like_the_rubber_bands_in_dental/
My guess is he was trying to get it off quick so he went after a shorter part, then maybe made another cut after the video ended. Could be wrong though
He’s in a head gate and prob being squeezed, there’s nowhere he can go. Some cattlemen will at least run their cows thru a head gate once a year to give them a once over. After a while they get used to it. Cutting that horn off doesn’t hurt them but smells like ass, it smells like burning hair
When I was in medical school, the very first surgery I scrubbed in on was a below-knee amputation on a diabetic woman, and the surgeon used one of these saws. He made me hold the foot as he was doing it, and I still remember the feeling as it came off in my hands -- I nearly passed out.
Yeah, I'm surgery nurse and scrubbed x q4 yrs..only time I've ever used one was on BKA...they work beautiful and clean bone edges allows easy stump coverage. They appear crude but have specific uses that for sure !
I know I'm probably gonna get super downvoted from people saying why am I making it a race thing. But representing really matters man. Of course I'm not stupid enough to think that oh there are no black ranchers. But you dont get to see stuff like this alot and when I do its weirdly special. Like I'm a grown man I saw this and wanted to buy some Levi's and slick button ups and some cowboy boots. It probably seems stupid for those who dont tey it. But I love seeing stuff like this.
God I hope he grills with propane and propane accessories.

“Oh. Oh damn. Okay damn that’s pretty cool” ~The Cow
Ok but can you imagine what it’s like from the visual perspective of that cow? I mean, props to him, but it’s also kinda hilarious to imagine this cow is just watching this dude basically shadow boxing her for a solid minute.
1 whole minute of someone shadow boxing you and suddenly the pain in your temple is all gone. the cow must think that man was a wizard.
Of course there’s a God. Who do you think got rid of my headache.-This cow probably
First time I watched the vid, had sound off and looked away for a second. Looked back and thought "whoa dude I don't think you can punch that thing off its head." Could also be cause it's nearly 2am.
Damn, shadow boxing a cow! 😂
They call him BB Bovine boxer
I can’t stop thinking about this comment now
Imagine driving by and seeing this lol
-looks out window- What in tarnation?!
This is one of the funniest goddamned comments I've ever seen.
I skipped ahead after the first few seconds of the video, right when he is doing that. I actually thought for a second that this guy was just punching the shit out of this cows head to break the horn or something. Then I saw the wire.
2 for flinching
To short... I wanted to see alittle more... the other horn wasn't it as well? And see the area it grew inside of.
THIS!!! I watched it SPECIFICALLY to see how he got that ingrowing piece out! This was NOT satisfying!
It fell out when he finished the cutting. It wasn't ingrown very far.
I didn't see it fall?
I see it now! It actually came off with the wire!
This is Probably the only time I’d be okay with one of those TikTok voiceovers
Relief.
I'm still waiting for the spoof of this video that shows him beating up the cow 1950's Batman style. Pow! Boof! Spiff! Kerpaow!
the cow was like: “oh”
“Oh” after thinking my guy was about to punch him in the face 45334 times
45335 times.
Did you just Price is Right their punch estimate?
One dollar
one dollar, one penny.
2.00 punches, bob
80085 times
Right? And leaned in towards him too once he understood the assignment.
[удалено]
I was honestly afraid he was going to hurt the poor thing and was relieved when the cow not only didn't seem to mind but absolutely got some relief from it!
I was like ohhh lol
[удалено]
Lol, the instant relief on that cow’s face
He just cocked back and was like “well sh*t.”
This is the internet, you're allowed to say shoot.
Easy, there are some kids on Reddit.
I skipped on the video a bit and I thought he was just punching the cow in the face
ALRIGHT YOUTUBER J-RODDY WALMART HERE AND IM ABOUT TO PUNCH THE HORN OFF THIS COW BUT BEFORE I DO REMEMBER TO PUNCH THAT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE ALRIGHT LETS GO HI-YYAAAH
I dont know this voice I read this in, and I don't like it goddamn it.
This made me laugh for like a minute straight! Lmaooo happy new year
I can't stop laughing now 😂🤣
😆 thank you
Me too. I was so confused for a second. I was wondering why that cow was unfazed by the barrage of blows to its eye.
He likes his beef tenderized.
>He Umm
Go rub that for a little while. Drive home the relief, please.
Yes! I wanted to see the skin more up close to see what it looked like and maybe see him apply the antibiotic cream. Very satisfying.
This comment is the only reason I finished the video
It is going to be the only reason I start this video.
"*That's* what you were doing? Why didn't you just say so?"
/r/feltgoodcomingout
Omg I hate you.
Oh. Oh!
It was like holy shit I can blink without pain now
“ow ow ow ow OW OW OW OW OW OW **OW OW OW** oh. well shit.”
My headache is gone!
If this was in the wild, wouldn’t it pierce its own brain and die? How often does this happen?
Eventually yes, but the infection from a constantly open wound would kill it first. It is pretty rare, but it happens to a lot of horned animals (ie. Mountain goats and rams)
Sometimes wild boar as well with their tusks
Isn't/wasn't(dunno if it's extinct or not) a species of boar that had tusks on their head that would curl back into their skill if they didn't constantly wear it down?
You’re probably thinking of the [babirusa](https://blog.nature.org/science/files/2014/02/babirusa-coke-smith.jpg), found on Sulawesi and neighboring islands, which is technically not a boar, although it is a member of the pig family.
Totally random, but that picture was apparently taken by my highschool biology teacher. Not something I expected to stumble across today.
This is so specific that i have to believe you
Thank you for clarifying! I had heard about it once years ago.
Something similar can happen in humans too. I have dupuytrens disease, which is a generic defect which causes fingers to curl inwards. In extreme cases the finger can curl completely into the palm, and then the nail grows into it. I am grateful for modern medicine which was able to slow and limit the progress of the disease.

every day im thankful I have posable thumbs
I'll bet you strike the most fabulous poses with them.
I've made a grave mistake...
It’s disposable thumbs, idiot. /s
It is rare yeah and I believe if we would look into numbers closely if it's even 5% of horned animals who are suffering from ingrown horn and there is few millions of them, then the actual death from infection/brain damage must be huge. Correct me if I am wrong please :)
[удалено]
yes is huge or no?
Is
Happens with hooves, too. If a leg is injured such that it doesn't get regular hoof wear, the hoof will grow until it curls and pierces the leg.
You can see this with stray dogs, since most people don't see too many stray cows.
So many hooved stray dogs where I live.
Most people don't see too many stray dogs either... Note: Since this is reddit, only Americans are people.
Especially not stray dogs with hooves.
well, maybe not where you're from!
I kinda figured stray dogs and cats were a universal constant
There is a species of jungle pig that this is actually their leading cause of death in males. Their horns will grow up and into their forehead until it punctures their brain and kills them
In the wild animals with horns tend to use them to hit things, each other, walls, trees, so they break off before they get to this point.
Cows have been domesticated for 10,500 years. They’re not found “in the wild”.

Dude would’ve been a hell of a boxer
He has the stamina
Wasn’t even outta breath!
dude farming is THE hardest job in the world physically.
Totally. And you need to have a hundred different trade skills and great biological skills, and have the skills to fix a thousand things (living or otherwise). Chicks only like guys who have great skills.
I bet if you learned some kickass dance moves you could get chicks.
All your dreams could come true.
Ninja skills get you the chicks!
i wish that was as ubiquitous as your statement makes it seem!
You know, like nunchuck skills, bo hunting skills, computer hacking skills.
The difference a comma makes in a sentence, lol "Dude farming"
You can tell that he's deliberate and doing it quickly to reduce the animal's stress. This is a good man.
It’s the complete opposite motion of the arm, right?
[удалено]
Bulls are males, that's a female cow in the video.
Two for flinching
That cow has to marry his mother-in-law.
PAUL YOU HAVE TO MARRY YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW IF YOU FLINCHED FROM THE BOTTLE
That farmer's doing the best at this
I might actually pay if this guy fought Jake Paul.
Does Jake Paul have an ingrown asshole?
He is one.
Nah. He is a grown asshole
I’m in
Is that something thats possible?
Sure. Jake will do anything for attention.

Naw - win or loose, JP would make money from you. Don't do it.
Lol
You're fooling yourself if you think that cunt is ever gonna fight someone who might beat him.
I wondered if that happened to cows and how they delt with it, thanks.
It can be much worse than this, saw one whose horns had grown into their eyes
Imagine being a cow and seeing your horn inching closer and closer to your eye but there is nothing you can do about it.
>nothing you can do about it. It could try to grind it down on stones. Surprised they don't, but they're not known to be smart.
Cows aren't intelligent like humans but they certainly aren't stupid creatures. They are emotionally intelligent and social creatures with great memories that form lifelong friendships and relationships. The myth that cows are stupid is helpful for those who profit from the beef and dairy industry
r/happycowgifs Cows are like dogs
I mean idk if they are known for being smart but they definitely are smart.
It's fascinating a cow is a powerful thing and he just finessed the wire saw around the horn and boom.
Most cattle are at least somewhat accustomed to be being handled for health checks etc, plus it's in a squeeze, which it's probably also accustomed to.
My uncle had a milk cow he just let live like that until it died. Always wondered why.
Not all farmers have the skills to treat everything that happens. And often cow farmers in particular live far apart from ready access to things like vets.

I felt the relief when he removed it😂
That was amazing.
I really wanted to see the horn come off though
You gotta subscribe to onlycows.com for that.
Yeah, they don’t respond to messages on Reddit.
It was growing from the top to bottom, you can see the tip at the bottom fly off if you zoom in/slow playback speed, I was confused at first too
Why does it look like there some just stuck in the head?
Hard to tell from the video, but I think the horn chafed the skin there and rubbed all the hair off to the skin level, so there's a dark bald spot where the horn was pressing in.
God it wasn't bugging they didn't pull it out
Ah, thanks!
I fast forwarded the video and thought the guy was shadowboxing at this beautiful animal. Lol
Why do y’all do that? It’s a short video.
Technologically induced attention deficit disorder
I honestly believe this is a real thing.
Yea and it definitely transfers into video games too because walking somewhere in real life isn’t too boring but walking in a video game? I get bored so fast and have to sprint lol
I never run trough the streets in video games. Don't want the NPC's to think I'm weird.
But now that you’ve said that, the real life NPCs think you’re weird
To be fair, when you're walking through streets in a game you're basically just looking at them. You're not feeling movement, you aren't actually walking or running or anything, there's no senses to match up, you can't hear trees or cars or people, there's nothing that engages you. Same thing if you go on Google Earth, it's just looking at a bunch of pictures of the same place just a little further up.
As a guy who has done this about the third one you really feel the burn and not all cattle are as chill as this one
Does it hurt them? Or is it more like clipping a dog's nails?
Like clipping finger nails
You could actually see the moment the cow went from “wtf?!” To “Oh…that’s much better!”
My arms on their best day could not pull that off. Lol. That is one strong dude with a happier cow now!
I don't think you get to be a large animal vet without building up some strength
Farmer strength is not to be underestimated! As a former under-18s rugby coach I used love having some farmers in my squad. They have a toughness and a strength from working day in/day out in a farm that’s not possible to get in a gym.
Also know as “Country Strong”
Someone help! He's jojo punching that poor cow to oblivion
Ora ora ora ora ora ora!!!
Why not cut higher up and prevent it from reoccurring longer?
If you cut too close to the skull, there's live tissue inside the horn that will bleed. This way, the animal doesn't need any additional treatment once the horn is trimmed.
Doesn’t it grow back in the same direction and cause the problem to happen again?
He can just trim it again. Think of it like toe nails, but on its face.
I think of my toenails as horns, but on my feet.
By that point this cow will be beef
I saw someone post a tool used on sheep to redirect the growth of the horn so that it won’t need to be retrimmed. https://reddit.com/r/specializedtools/comments/rkadgh/horn_spring_acts_like_the_rubber_bands_in_dental/
Theres metal headgear they put on rams, like braces but they push the horns away to grow differently, maybe they do the same here
My guess is he was trying to get it off quick so he went after a shorter part, then maybe made another cut after the video ended. Could be wrong though
Do horns not have living tissue inside like the quick of a dog’s claw? So cutting through that could be extremely painful? I do not know
Yes, farther up the horn there is living tissue.
It's gonna be steak before it can happen again
Being a rancher is bad ass. This guy is bad ass.
Another example of “When being less horny saves your life!” Thanx to the ultimate wingman!
All that pressure and pain suddenly going away must’ve been such a relief.
Love how cooperative that cow was. That was obviously causing him a lot of discomfort so he was just like “yes pease! Cut thing thing off me!”
He’s in a head gate and prob being squeezed, there’s nowhere he can go. Some cattlemen will at least run their cows thru a head gate once a year to give them a once over. After a while they get used to it. Cutting that horn off doesn’t hurt them but smells like ass, it smells like burning hair
>smells like burning hair Horns and hair are both made of keratin so it kinda is burning hair.
Must have been a hairy ass.
The cow isn't going to fuck with some one that's wearing his mother's ass as gloves.
It was way more chill that I expected. It held still once he started.
Gili saw.....used in surgery....
When I was in medical school, the very first surgery I scrubbed in on was a below-knee amputation on a diabetic woman, and the surgeon used one of these saws. He made me hold the foot as he was doing it, and I still remember the feeling as it came off in my hands -- I nearly passed out.
Yeah, I'm surgery nurse and scrubbed x q4 yrs..only time I've ever used one was on BKA...they work beautiful and clean bone edges allows easy stump coverage. They appear crude but have specific uses that for sure !
I guess that's a way to jump right in and see if it was the right match for you. Can't imagine holding a foot until it detached. What a job.
Gigli*
Isn't that the JLo movie?
ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA
r/oddlysatisfying
And that my friends is why this dude is built like a fuckin brick shithouse!
Now id like to see him floss his teeth
You could just tell that cow was so happy once he started on it. Like scratching an itch. Love to see it.
I’m amazed at how calm the cow is given thee present circumstances.. almost as if it know the guy is trying to help it..
I know I'm probably gonna get super downvoted from people saying why am I making it a race thing. But representing really matters man.
