Virginia Farmer's Pregnancy Check Reveals Unexpected Hoof Injury

A Virginia farmer, Kristen Beamer, known online as 'marleysroselife,' recently shared a video detailing her cow pregnancy check-up. The video shows Beamer palpating her cows, a method she uses to determine pregnancy and gestation. She notes that out of 90 cows, only four failed to conceive. However, the video also highlights a bull with a severely damaged hoof. "The pain is coming from where his toe grew out," Beamer explains in the video, showing the cracked hoof. Beamer's team helped the bull lie down and treated the hoof by grinding down the crack and applying a copper-top. This incident, while specific to one animal, provides a compelling visual element and contrasts with the largely positive pregnancy results. The video's popularity suggests interest in both farming practices and animal care, making it suitable for a short news piece.
