Initially I was slightly offput by the casual displays of wealth like his super awesome kitchen, absolutely love it by the way, and the garage at the end. Then I realized I was thrilled someone so pleasant and genuinely helpful to the world could have such things. Someone who deserves it, a rare blessing.
When he started this channel he was actually living in a tiny apartment after a family member managed to take over the farm he was supposed to inherit. He’s worked very hard for success.
If you go back even 18months you can see the barn and cars weren’t there. He has worked for all of it, and the channels growth has helped which he has said a few times.
Dont ever let the objects of others cloud your judgment of them, hes rich he worked hard for it and he entertains us well deserved. Instead use it as motivation to earn that yourself too, all love 💪🏽
I started watching and saw the CARS and was like WTF? But when you hear Graeme talk about how long hes been working on cows and its obvious how hard he works...as you said, well deserved.
Congratulations on your glue taking off!! The fact that YOU use it, and designed it as someone that needed a better glue than what was available makes a HUGE difference!! I LOVE your videos in Michigan, U.S.A. I never even knew this was a thing! I have never seen a cow in person, But I absolutely LOVE the compassion you have for ALL animals!! Congrats on the New " funny looking dog" lol Cats are awesome!!!
I remember when Mrs. HGP didn’t even want to be videoed. She’s absolutely beautiful and such an asset to your business. I’m glad she’s showing up more in your videos. There’s a saying, “Behind every successful man is a woman.” Some might find that offensive but I think the saying means that there’s a supportive spouse who does a lot to run her house in a way that her husband can focus on success. I’m probably far from being that type of woman but I hope I keep improving. Love you all sharing your lives with us. God bless!
I REMEMBER when the HGP didn’t have a huge working shed full of race cars, but instead an older barn with a run down pickup and a used cow lift. Times have changed, eh?
I don't think it's offensive, I think it clearly shows that it's easier to be successful with a supportive spouse doing a lot of the behind the scenes work that enables a family & business to do well. Women tend to take on a lot of managerial, administrative, physical, and emotional household work. My grandfather ran a successful farm, because my grandmother was doing the accounting books, expenses, taxes, cooking, cleaning, and so many other tasks that enabled the farm to run efficiently and let my grandfather focus on the animal husbandry & crops. Hers was a full time job. They made a great team, shoring up each other's weaknesses, and I miss them.
It's not offensive, but it is heteronormative ;) (just jokes, the saying has a lot of truth to it, regardless to whether the origin of the phrase is good or bad)
PLEASE keep an eye on your new cat's heart. Maine coons have been bred into having a heart condition that shows up around age 2. I adopted a kitten and when he was 2 he started to breathe funny. I went to the doctor and then a specialist who put him on tablets. Three weeks later I came home from work to find him lying paralyzed on the floor screaming in pain. I rushed him to the vet but there was nothing they could do because he had thrown a major blood clot due to his heart condition. That was over 20 years ago and I will never forget the pain and fear in his voice and eyes. Still gives me nightmares.
That poor cow must have been in so much pain with all those stones. You could actually hear them clink against your knife as you were trimming. That must have been so painful. It’s great that these cows have a person that really cares, looking after their hoof health. Well done! Keep up the good work! Much love from North Lincolnshire xx
It would be the equivalent of putting Lego in your shoes and trying to go about your day. So so painful. Every step would have been awful. It's a beautiful thing to watch the cow walk away barely limping. ❤
Hello from Canada. I grew up on a diary farm in Ontario, Canada. Watching your channel has given me a whole new understanding of cow health (got to be honest, never saw this when I lived in the farm). I even told my bro about your channel at a family function and he was surprised at how much I knew because of you. He is the farmer (had diary, now beef). It is awesome to see how much you and your crew care for, love on and do your absolute best to heal these animals. Keep up the great work.
Out of all the hoof trimmers i see on youtube, your channel is by far my favorite. Its obvious just how much you care about the animals you treat. You are truly a lifesaver. Keep up the amazing work
And your technique of cutting appears more gentle, smooth than others I've seen. I'm startled by the jerking motions of others style, yours are soothing to watch!
Congratulations on your new family member, Bear. I’m sure everyone will enjoy having him in the home. Great job on the poor cow’s hoof, I’m sure she feels much better after having the stones removed.
Amazing how a few pebbles can impact quality of life and of course the farmers bottom line if not found. Your channel has definitely given me a wider view of the dairy industry and wider appreciation. Mrs HGP has earned her title and right to be called that. Lord knows she works hard keeping house, kids in line (you included) and keeps your books too!! A very talented woman.
There's so much love in your family. It's so wholesome. And yet you still have enough love in your heart for all of the cows, and farmers, and fans. You're an amazing person, and I'm glad I found your videos.
Bear is adorable! It will be a right monster kitty, the bane of every crow! And Mrs HGP is a beautiful woman. Your love and pride in your bride is lovely to see! So do Kev and Craig get the pay of 2 half men? 😂
I remember every early on when you first started posting these videos. Many changes in your life for sure. You work hard and have built up a thriving business, family and lifestyle. Well done, my friend!
Bear made me burst into tears. Back in 2003, my husband and I visited a local Maine Coon breeder and fell instantly in love with a three-month-old blue tabby and white kitten who looked VERY MUCH like Bear; we named him Benjamin. He passed away near the end of 2019, but we think about him a lot. May your new friend spend many healthy, happy years with you, and teach those crows what-for!
Sorry to hear about your cat. The website Petfinder is a rescue site that has a lot of Maine coon cats & kittens around the country who need homes if you’re looking in the future to rescue.
My kitties are quite weird to be honest I once caught one of them throwing, pouncing on and then eating a mouse (actually two but he only actually finished one, left the other 🤦🏼♀️)
I’ve been so depressed lately and not to be a cry baby but these videos are one of my coping skills they relax me idk why but they do and your positive energy does as well. Thank you
Both my brothers in law and their families are farmers,combined dairy,beef and sheep farmers,Thanks to you,I have a new respect for their love and care they have for their herds.thank you
I love Scottish humor. One old one from Cape Breton in Canada goes. A man came home for the first time in ten years after living in Toronto since he was a young man and stopped in at the general store to pick up a few things. An older fellow recognized him even after being gone so long and started chatting with him in Gaelic. He understood but had to respond in English. After a bit of this back and forth the old fellow got frustrated and said to him "what's the matter lad, have ya lost your proper tongue" To which he responds " well, I understand you well enough, I just can't speak it back to you" "Ah yes" the old man nods understandingly "I have a dog at home that's the same"
Ashley (AKA Mrs. HGP) is absolutely stunning! I have been following your channel for a few years now and have enjoyed seeing your growth with your business and the amazing work you do to keep all those cows happy and healthy! Congratulations on the success with the new glue as well. Keep up the amazing progress!
Oh my goodness. That poor girl. Your care for her is so obvious. Having had small bits of gravel impacted in my heal (don't ask how) I can speak for how much a little bit like that can hurt every time you step. I can only imagine how much that poor girl hurt. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Graeme & hello to "The Herd". I ❤ Bear, Maine Coons are the best! They really are a dog in a cat suit.🐱 Graeme you need to get a little girl cat now & name her Gracie after well you know, our original mascot. The OG's know. Every time Graeme it warms my heart seeing the difference you make for these sweet cows. A rewarding job, indeed. 🖤🐄🤍🐂🤎
Yep, Maine Coons are not only affectionate mousers, loyal family pets, and laser busters, they’re smart and big. I’ve known some Maine Coons grow as big as medium-sized dogs like beagles and border collies.
@TheHoof GP - I have watched a lot of your videos. I'm not a farmer, nor a hoof trimmer but, I do love animals. Just wanted to thank you for what y'all do for these animals. Thank you for explaining the process and, how you identify a problem and, what you do to help them heal and recover. I live in the U.S. &, I watch your videos daily. Just wanted to reach out, say hi & thank you! Kind Regards, Rick
Congrats on the new kitten! I have a Maine Coon, and they are the best. I live in Colorado and write books for a living. I have nothing to do with farms or cows or hooves, but I love your videos.
Bear is gorgeous! She's going to be big girl - I love Maine Coons! That was a great trim. I kept imagining walking with a shoe full of tiny stones...ouch!
I never would’ve thought you could make such a fine living from trimming cow hooves. Your home is beautiful and that car collection is nice! Live your videos by the way.
I am so jealous about your new coffee maker lol. Anyways my granddaughter lives watching your show when she stays with me. ❤❤❤ Thank you so much for your clarity in what you're doing for the bovines. 😊😊😊😊
A lovely video, as usual and a happy cow! Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear that you're getting a new KVK because even though I'm so far away from hoof trimming (I'm a retired writing professor), the cows always seem more comfortable in that crush than the previous ones you've had (or at least from what I can see.) And you seem very happy with the KVK too, so win/win! Love (love!!!) your videos! ❤
Bear is beautiful, Craigy boi we love all three quarters of you, Graeme you are smashing the job of making the cows feel better and Ashley/Mrs HGP, you look stunning!!! You are all amazing ❤
Congrats on you glue from Saskatchewan 🎉 We have beef cows and your videos are giving me even more insight to what I need to watch for ❤ I keep learning more and more from you!
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. HGP for letting me in on your hard working, hard playing, busy life. I really appreciate all of the time, effort and skill that you all put into the final product of the HGP. I'm always looking for a video I haven't seen yet because they're so good.
It's so crazy I've been here since the old crush before kvk and bovibond etc before tons of followers. To see how your life has changed the opportunity presented through social media all because u decided to record hoof trimming who would of thought it would be addicting to us !!!
When I get a new smart phone (everybody seems to talk about everybody buying new ones all the time, but once you want to buyba used from your friends, nobody has any) I'm going to start a YT channel about my neighbors cat. I train it like dog, and it's so cute. Wouldn't schock me, if it became a cash cow for me..
I have discovered I can watch the same video here again and again. I have also become so committed to Graeme's best practices that I want to correct other RU-vid hoof trimmers both in knife work and editing skills. Graeme is my perfect human living a perfectly balanced life. 😊
Beautiful kitty!!!!!! Almost as Fluffy as a Highland!!!!! Thanks to you guys, Highland calves have been added to my list of cutest animal babies!!! And a new crush in October! Just in time for my birthday!!!!!! Have a pint to celebrate the new crushes arrival and this old lady's 47th birthday! (Although I feel about 97, I'm told I look like 27.....🤔🤔) Graeme...I'm an Amazon junkie, too! Hello, Ashley!!!!!!!
It's always amazing to see how something that looks so small and minor can actually turn out to be a bigger issue than first thought (that hole initially looked so small but the stones had still made their way in and caused a bigger issue. Even better that you managed to help ease her pain 💖)
I have a cat I suspect is part maine coon, and he's a terrible hunter. He has a phobia of flying things due to getting harassed by crows as a kitten, and with rodents he's just inept and they escape.
You're very welcome. Happy to return a little brightness to your day when that coffee is needed and my way of thanking you for the time it takes to make & edit these videos. Might make it a yearly thing..... what flavour syrup would you like to try next? 15:15
Thanks Graeme. Those stones looked so painful. So glad the cow is on the mend. Love ya Craigie Boy. Great to see you back. Shout out to beautiful Ashley ❤
Bear is the bomb!!! I didn’t realize you could get a Maine Coon cat there!! Cool!! And that you for your theme song at the intro! I realize the last line applies to us followers!! We fall into your videos and podcasts!!! I also love the Hallman song you played! You’re right! It is a great piece!! Enjoy your trip whether you’re with Ashley or Mrs Hoofgp! Lol!!
Love your new kitty! My mom played with all the barn cats; it’s where I got my love cats! Great ! Your glue is taking off…much success to you. Nancy, Nashua, NH
Bear is wonderful!!! Good to see you making use of a Thermos and travel cups. Those open coffee cups in the truck make me crazy. The thrills and spills!
If I were a cow trimmer...I would definitely trust a glue that was developed by a person who actually uses the stuff in the field. I bet it really is as good as you say Graeme ! 😎👌
Great job. The way your explain the damage to her hoof just goes to show how much you care about the job that you love to do. Keep up the outstanding job that you post.
You truly love you job and family. Your kindness and helping of injured cows is amazing. I wish you all the luck and happiness to you and your family. It's so nice to see someone who totally cares about cows and had a great time doing it.
The doggo is gorgeous and I love the name, very fitting for how big he'll get and how much furr he'll have. When you said to think about how painful it would be to have stones in the bed of your foot, got me thinking. I managed to break a bone for the first time in my 41 years, it was my ankle but I didn't break just 1 of the bones in my ankle I broke all 3 of them. The 2 side bones and the back bone of my ankle in one very short fall. It got me thinking this has been the most painful thing I have ever done so far, I'm guessing having stones trapped in your foot would be much more painful.
@@teshlafreeman4040agreed! I used to pet sit occasionally for a couple with two. When they fell asleep on you ... there was no moving. 😂 Wonderful creatures.
I grew up working on and with my grandparents beef cattle farm, I really enjoyed it, but we never had a professional hoof trimmer come out, my grandfather always just used nippers to shorten the slipper like feet. Your channel has shown me how much more could have been done and just how much was already being done. Thank you for showing me more.
It's great to see the success of your channel ♥️ Been here since the start and have thoroughly enjoyed your content. They say if you want to be successful in life, do the thing you're passionate about, and positives will naturally follow you. I truly know (I'm an old boy, not easily duped!) tgat your career comes first 🥇 to you, and funnily enough the money follows that. I'm so glad of your success. WELL DONE 👍 !! Truly deserved and earned ! That 2 million party🎉 is not far off 😎 (Ireland 🇮🇪)
I think your work and care for these beautiful animals is amazing. You’ve actually got me wanting to take up this profession myself after watching all of your videos 😅.
I love how he constantly walkes and moves when talking to the camera. I constantly have something new to look at and my neurospicy brain doesn't lose focus in the video because of it ❤
It is so wonderful watching you and your family. Ashley is beautiful and so are your sons. You have built yourself a wonderful life and I truly love watching you. I grew up around farms and one farm in particular was always glad to see me. The farmer taught me a lot but trimming hooves wasn't one of the things I was taught. It's fascinating. Thanks for sharing with us.
Now youve made your own glue, the next step has got to be designing and building your own crush surely? 😂 Love the channel and love how much you care for all those beautiful cows, keep up the hard work!
I don't have anything to do with this type of work but watching your videos has become an every day thing for me. Love you love your videos. You're awesome
Just loving your videos. It's so relaxing watching more or less helpless animals getting comfortable again. And you guys joking around and smiling gorgeous. Makes me happy and smiling too. ❤
✍Hello Graeme...So good to see you and your new member of your family "Bear"🐈 He's very beautiful. Man Coon or (Maine Coon) cats are a very special breed and he's oh so beautiful. I'm A cat lover but my daughter is allergic so I have a little Havanese dog because my daughter is Not allergic to dogs🐾 Congratulations on the new product and it's success. I really like the music tonight🎶 You are such a wonderful person to make sure these cows 🐄are taken good care of and that you're totally committed to these animals and it shows in your work and care of them🐄 Mrs.HGP Ashley is very pretty. God Bless LuvYa! Bye from your digital pen pal from Ohio USA 🇺🇸
I like that you call your beautiful wife Mrs. HGP. I think it shows respect to her for everything she does to make HGP a success. ❤ Just because she is not always on camera, does not mean she is not and important member of the team!
I haven’t yet had the opportunity, but I wanted to congratulate you on your creation of the HoofGP glue!! You’re quite an inspiration!! My best to you, your family, and the whole team!! 🐮🏴
Can’t believe that little one let you carry her all over the house! Maine Coons are great! Always enjoy the interaction with Craig! Another great episode!!❤ Question: has there been a hoof so bad on both sides that you could not use a block?
yes he has had a cow with both feet that are bad but if i remember correctly he put the block on the worst of the two.. i might be wrong but i think i remember that right
I know he has used a block for horses. They are shaped like half a horseshoe so the center of the claw is open and just the rim takes the weight. Then the other claw ca have a whole block.
Greetings from Vietnam! This channel is absolutely phenomenal regarding of how much cows you guys have saved, and I've been binge watching every vids ever since I encountered one of your shorts Very epic, thank you.
How awful it must be/have been for wild cows who don't have the benefit of having someone able to relieve their pain. They'd have to live with it their entire lives. It's wonderful that this beautiful girl has the help she deserves.
You’re seriously an inspiration! I would have enjoyed doing this for a living, but I’m old now and I spent my years helping elderly people. Now I work in account management at a mobile billing company. 😂 I still manage to be told I’m an angel. I never expected that.
I miss the days where this channel just got down to the nitty gritty and showed the fixing and healing of the poor animal! Now it just showcases all of Graham's toys and wealth! It was halfway before we even saw the poor cow! The most pleasant aspect was the new kitten!
It's totally fair to express your opinion but I'm just going to point out, one of the lovely things about RU-vid is that you are free to skip around in the videos and only watch the parts you are interested in.
I mention to people I know, I'm hooked on a hoof trimming you tube channel from Scotland and EVERYONE has said they have seen that channel before. You are known all over America
Hi from 🇨🇦I was right when I guessed that last chute would be a KVK and now I guess it is the new orange KVK. Hope I’m right again but hey. Always watching your program but the funniest was to find my brother from Edmonton Alberta watching the same program when we were in Toronto to celebrate our mother’s 80th birthday. I’m from northern Ontario so we had quite a laugh it is for sure that our growing up on a dairy farm still follows us. I have been a nurse for 35 years now and the youngest of our family. Our roots sure follow us. Quite a hoot to find you are both our favourite RU-vidr. So enjoy your job and your family. Love from the two of us Canadian
I am So very glad that you attended this lady!!! That foot made me really wince, and I'm on the other side of the world, so it must have been bad, to get to me here! Good job, guys!
The cows all staring: " the hoof man is here with the squeeze thing" 🤣🤣 From someone who has owned and trained horses my entire life, I love cows and these videos are very informative and educational, I thought I knew more than most about hooves in general, but this has shown me I did not!! I also appreciate your love and care of the animals. BEAR IS ADORABLE!!!! Clearly, Bear will need his own section of Bear Channel in the future. 🙂
