DEAD COW WALKING .... 1 COW'S LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY 

66 years old, cowboy for many years, and this damn cow makes me an emotional WRECK!!

So many are commenting that this cow should retire and move to his place without seeing how much these wonderful farmers are doing for this cow and for her to keep going. I have nothing but respect for these farmers, not that many would go this far for their cattle. Im luck to work for people who are much like these farmers, they do what ever they can for their animals no matter what it costs.

Gracie has earned a happy retirement as a pet cow. You need her as a mascot at your place ❤️👍🏻🥰

I had no idea dairy cows had such short productive lives.😕🐄 Graeme your mentioned that they are usually done by 5 yrs of age. And yet Gracie was 8 in this video. Hopefully she kept having a good life. 🐄🙏❤️

I have a cat named Hardy-Gracie. She was bone with a cleft palate and a suffered an injury sometime later that fused her jaw. She has issues with her teeth - a very small jaw with adult-sized sharp teeth - which have injured her tongue, plus the teeth are decaying because food stays lodged between them. Long story short, when I see your Gracie, I think of my little gray cat and compare how much they both have gone through but are still here. I give credit for Hardy's success to my wonderful country vet who never gives up, even when the "specialist" vets wouldn't touch Hardy. And Gracie there has you, watching over her hooves and giving her the best life she can. It's professionals like you and him, inventive and caring and intelligent and compassionate, who make the difference, both in cows and cats. The world is a better place because of you.

"I don't care what the human is saying as long as he keeps petting me!" ~ Gracie probably

I’m always amazed by how high the pain tolerance is in cows. My horse had the tiniest of abces in her hoof and she was acting like she broke her leg and refused to put any weight on it. I can’t believe these cows are still walking with these huge abscesses or half their hoof missing.

I really appreciate the love and care you put into each and every cow or bull. I’ve seen other trimmers on here but you by far are the best. Each cow in pain, I always catch myself saying out loud “omgosh poor baby” and then seeing them walk out of the crush is so rewarding. Thanks for the relaxing late night videos. I’ve learned so much from you 😊

Thank the farmer for not giving up on Gracie. It shows how much they care to go through so many treatments . She is blessed to have you helping her. Yes it is wonderful to watch you work your magic and heal these bulls and cows. Stay safe and god bless .

It's heart wrenching watching Gracie with her sore feet. It can't be healthy that they stand around in their own muck all day.

I did not realize cows went off to ‘freezer camp’ after 6-8 years of producing. Well done Gracie you have beat the odds.

Pregnancy is hard enough without baddy feet. Poor Gracie. So glad she's slowly improving. Im so emotionally invested in her 😭

If they get rid of her PLEASE bring Gracie back to your new farm :)

GOD BLESS GRACIE I HOPE AND PRAY THAT SHE GETS A LOT BETTER

Oh, Graeme, I hope Gracie can retire to your farm. That would be a perfect ending to her saga. As you might say, "she's a poor wee thing" that after her career as a dairy cow for more than 8 years deserves a cushy retirement.

Gracie has beautiful eyes. I’m glad she is improving. Kudos to you and the farmer.

Bless her! She loves you because she knows you helped her. Animals can sense that!

I love following Gracie, 8-12-51 is my date of birth. Love your show.

Grew up with cows and love them. Thanks for the care you give to such a magnificent animal.

It's really interesting to see how the layers of the hoof change. What looks like a "problem" can become ok and what looks ok can become a problem when just cutting away a few layers.

Oh, Gracie. Brought tears to my eyes when we first saw that back left foot. Gosh. I am so invested in this cow.

As always, Gracie is a special girl and it’s obvious you are the best person to take care of her and the herd! 😊 thank you for sharing these videos! 😊

I remember watching Gracies story from the very beginning. She's the sweetest brown eyed "lass" and thanks to you I'm sure she'll live too have a little Gracie..so excited for that and would LOVE to see her baby when it gets here. Once again, thank you Graeme for your kind heart and the amazing job you do....and of course Craig to!

Love Gracie but what an emotional roller coaster thank god she has you Craig and farmer.

Have to admit, after being around livestock most my life, I’m in tears for Gracie.😢😢 Still praying for a continued full recovery. Miracles do happen & she’s in excellent hands.

Have followed Gracie's journey from beginning to present day, she looks such a kind, caring and gentle cow. I really do hope that the farmer will either allow you to let her grow old on your new area of land or keep her at the farm as a mascot and to prove that no matter how old they can and will pull through. Keep up the amazing work

Awww, God bless Gracie! She's a determined old girl, isn't she? So very sweet, too. You've done a really wonderful job with her, too. God bless, you, and the farmer, too. Poor old girl, I hope she continues on the road to recovery!

Poor Gracie, she really tugs at my heart strings. I cry every time I see her feet still not better. I hope she heals and has an easy birth and can enjoy retirement. Blessings to you all for your constant care and attention. The cows of Southwest Scotland are lucky to have you and the dedicated farmers.

poor Gracie, glad she has you and Farmer giving her good care

Gracey is lovely. She obviously loves you. She seems to enjoy your attention. Animals have a sense for who cares. I am thankful for you and your gifts of skill and commitment to animal husbandry. Craig too! 👋 From North Carolina, USA.

At the start of the vid when she is in the crush and you're talking to the camera she looks pleased to see you, its amazing to see her so calm and relaxed. Its like she knows your going to do whatever you can to help her. Its just lovely and is a clear sign of how well they are all looked after by you and the farmer. You definitely have the best job ever !

Thank you for taking care of Gracie. It is quite obvious that you love what you do and love your cows. I appreciate you and love your concern for Gracie.

Did anyone else find themselves holding there breath when he was modeling out that bruise?

gracy will be a great asset to your farm, a grandmother to them all, and saved by your work! respect!

Poor Gracie...having to endure this while pregnant also...praying for as much recovery as possible! I know she is getting pain meds and all start care....but man...nothing should have to struggle so much. And she is so sweet to boot...

So happy for Gracie, 812

Thank you to you and the farmer for caring so much for her. Often the older ones would not be deemed worth the bother. So pleased to see she's improving

It’s great the love & kindness you show to this cow, Gracie. Glad she’s making progress. ❤😮🎉🎉😊

I don’t even know how I stumbled across this page but I’ve been watching for months. And I can’t tell you how much it heals my heart knowing that farmers care so much for their cows. I feel like it would be so easy to just put her down and dodge the GP costs. Gracie is obviously a lovely cow and her farmer values her enough to keep her healthy and comfortable. Thank you for what you do, GP!

Hope Gracie makes a full recovery 🐄❤️

Poor girl, thanks for your compassion for her suffering!

Gracie is my favorite cow. I’d honestly never thought I’d care about a cow so much, but she’s lovely

She is such a sweet, sweet, beautiful creature to be so patient through all of this. The pain she has been in and must still be in breaks my heart. 🐄❤️

You are so sweet to the cows!!! I love it!!

It was so good to see Gracie again. I’m happy she is healing under your gentle hand and incredible knowledge. She’s a lucky lady. ❤️🐮

Gracie is like an old friend It's good to see she's doing better.

I love your compassion towards the animals. The effort you are putting in with the farmer is wonderful. Great work, she is a very fortunate cow.

it's really sweet that even though Gracie's a senior citizen in cow term, she's still getting the best treatment available. it's comforting to know the cows are so well cared for

Gracie's such a sweet girl hope she can be healed it brought tears to my eyes to see her walk. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Such a pure soul. He cares for these animals more than most people treat each other. Thank you very much for the positivity.

I’m so happy to get an update on Gracie. I feel like she’s part of my family. I hope we can see her calf when she has it!

I love these videos. I feel like when people say how much they hate the meat/dairy industry they picture every farm to be a factory farm that cares more about money than the animals. This channel shows that there are still good farms that take such good care of the animals. Consuming/producing meat and dairy doesn't automatically equal cruelty. It's really only industrialized farms that do that

Oh dear sweet Gracie! How special you are and we are so hopeful that between Graeme’s and your owner’s wonderful care and watchful eyes you will get back to a better level of hoof health. ❤️🥰

So happy for Gracie ! Thank you and the farmer for keeping believing in her recovery.

Poor Gracie, I'm crying for her, and sending her prayers, thank you for taking care of her. May you and her farmer have good luck with her. Love from Canada. 🇨🇦🐘🐃❣

Poor Gracie. Congrats on your new home.

My heart sank when I saw Gracies back left foot. Shes such a sweet thing 💕💕💕💕 I hope that she can go to your farm for her retirement. 💗💗💗

They are such massive creatures with such comparitively small feet. I hope Gracie gets better.

I appreciate the updates on Gracie. I see how hard this has been for you and the farmer. I am so glad you never give up on her.

You are a true gentleman.

It makes me smile when I see how much affection that you give her while you where talking about he condition..She seemed to like it as well. Good Job

I am so invested in Gracie!

As someone with horses who have/have had laminitis, I understand the struggles of it going up and down. One of my mares even got to 30 years old! I've even had to wrap one of my geldings feet because of an abscess and he's still alive today and 23 years old. Thank you for caring so much about thise cows. It really makes a difference for them. 💚

Poor girl. It's so disappointing when she has a setback but you are doing everything and it shows. She looks so much better.

I'm not sure if this was a first viewing , or a repeat viewing, but, either way, it still moved me to tears. Firstly, for the plight of Gracie, but, secondly, with hope, and joy, that she appeared to be improving. Certainly her walking was much improved! It must be really gratifying, and satisfying, to see the improvement!

Nice to view how our Gracie is doing, think this girl has been taken into viewers hearts so nice to catch up on her progress. Lol I know alot of old cows but they are not as nice as our Gracie just abit of kiwi banter.

It really shows how much you care about these cows. Thank you for caring and taking such good care of these cows.

It's funny...each time the opening music starts, I imagine Graeme and Mrs. Hoof GP dancing in the kitchen.

So glad to see that she is better.

She's such a beautiful moo! So calm. It would be nice if they could name the calf after you G.P.

Omgoodness she's walking soooo much better!!! Absolutely brilliant to see the love between you and Gracie. Beautiful old girl.

So happy to see miss Gracie again!!! She is such a sweet girl and you are doing SUCH a great job helping her heal ❤️

I'm so so glad Gracie is getting better, such a beautiful cow

0:44 what an unfortunate shot LOL I've been watching out for videos about this cow, ever since you first uploaded her story months ago. I'm very glad that she is getting care and compassion, rather than being sent to slaughter. Gracie is a strong gal!

I know this isn't exactly "main stream" content.... but I have fallen in love with these videos. The compassion is evident and infectious. I'm rooting for Gracie... she is so adorable! Keep up the good work! Blessings!

When you started trimming that back, left foot, my heart sank! I’m so glad you have been able to help her!

Bless you ,and Gracie.

Dang, those two claw on the same foot in such a bad state felt grim. Good things seems to be going in the right direction.

Love the haircut 💇🏼‍♂️ Graeme!!! My did would’ve called this “high & tight” he cut my three brothers hair … good to see you today peace and good health to the whole family !!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

Seriously getting overwhelmed. I'm Soo relieved. Graeme and Craig, you guys are awesome and totally rock stars!!!

That poor baby, Gracie. I'm so glad she has a person like yourself helping her. Your dedication to the wee beasties is admirable and makes me think good things about people in general.

Huge respect to yourself and the farmer. Clearly you both care greatly about Gracie and have done all you can for the old girl; here's hoping she's more comfortable as each day goes by!

I hope your videos. Inspire other people to prevent other cows from become so severe.. you are doing great job thank you so much in a name of all cows in the world.

Gracie is one of the reasons I would keep waiting on updates, it has been a long journey and I even tho there has been up and downs I really appreciate all the updates you have provided on this gal. It's amazing how big of a star she has become.

When your just hoping things are going well and your heart just sinks when you see that opening on the back left hoof... your doing your best and that is all we can do. Best wishes

Awe sweet Gracie. She is such a pretty girl. I’m so glad she is doing better and is retired. Be happy Gracie.

I always give each of your videos a thumbs up even before I watch the entire video because I know you’ll deliver high quality!! Love from Iowa, USA!

Aww she is so sweet. Enjoying the attention🥰

She will make it. She has you in her corner helping her. Well done m8 great job

Prayers for Gracie....At least she is lucky enough that she has you that loves and cares for her! Wonderful video🙏🏼🍀♥️👋🏼🇨🇦

There’s a product you can use on horses with compromised hooves called formahoof which they use to create an artificial hoof around damaged ones. Maybe look into that and create a mold of a health hoof in her size?

Thank you for helping Gracie. May god helps you In your hour of need as you have for her. Ameen

So happy to see Gracie ♥️ She is looking great! Thanks for the update! Pretty sure she loves you 💕😁

You are so good thanks for caring for the cows 🐄 .

Its always great to see an update on Gracie and that shes actually doing well. Thank you for telling her story!

Poor Gracie girl. She is such a good girl and hope she heal up

Gracie should definitely come home to your place once she is retired...

I love how caring and loving you are to Gracie. It is beautiful to watch I can tell how much you love her.

OMG I love Gracie x I have her picture by Helen and the book x Well done to everyone who helped with her and you Graham for keeping us up to date x👍🥰

I like the close up shots of the trimming.
