HORRIFIC BULL's HOOF ... & it all goes WRONG! 

I should have said - off camera, whilst the bull was still in the crush the farmer administered strong pain killers and anti inflammatory drugs to help the bull with his foot - those drugs would also help massively with his other issue

Does anyone else just sit here and watch videos like this at like 4 in the morning

I don't know how I ended up on this channel, but it's been 3 weeks and I can't quit watching.

I have a big crush on the hoof GP. He is married, lives 4000 miles away and I am older than his great grandmother so, he is safe. :-) Bless his heart. He brings me joy.

It pains me to see your reaction, let alone the bulls injury. It’s clear you care deeply for the animals you care for. Thank you for being a wonderful person.

I have learned in my 73 years of life you can do everything correctly and still have results you didn’t plan for. Your body of work speaks for itself Sir.

That's farming, it's not always rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes the clouds and storms roll in. I'm grateful you showed me this and hopefully everyone else understands. Hopefully the big lad makes a full recovery!

I was horrified to see the condition of the bulls foot but then relieved to know you were the one the farmer called. The care you show towards all the animals you trim is awesome. This bull has a long road to go before his hoof is healed and the trouble he had for being in the crush so long showed all of us the reason you work so quickly. Thank you for going back to check on him so often, it only proves how much you care about all the animals entrusted to you.

In my untrained eyes, he went from not even wanting to touch the ground with that one foot to standing on all four feet. That's a great improvement.

Remember that you aren’t a vet and you have stated yourself many times, there is only so much you are able to do for them. I have watched enough of your videos to know you care deeply about each cow, bull, heck even that calf you had to work on. You do the best you can, that is all anyone can ask

I am glad the farmer despite being organic, was very quick to run to the vet so quickly and get what the bull needed. Thanks for showing us all the details as it gives us a full scope of cattle care. The good and the bad.

I love how much you really care about these animals. The fact that it hurts you when they are in pain says so much. Hoping the big guy recovers quickly ❤

As my grandmother taught me: Some days are diamond, some days are stone. We look for the memories in diamond days and look for the lessons in stone days. Sometimes a day is both, and that's okay. I don't comment on videos much but you have such genuine care for these animals that I had to share, for whatever it's worth, this little grain of wisdom that's helped me.

This is why I love your videos. They always feel honest. Not every day is a good day, but your work is helping animals, and that is why every day still is a good day in some way. You can't save them all, and because the bull had been such trouble before, it was common sense to leave him in the crush while waiting. This time it went wrong, the other twohundred times it has been fine.

Without you, I never would have the knowledge of what hoofed animals go thru in their lives. Truly an eye opener. Thank you..... love your videos......

Thank you for not editing the video and showing us what that poor big guy had to endure. It’s a great learning experience and some harsh reality that some need to experience. I hope he was able to heal from his wound and is doing well.

It broke my heart to see the bull suffering so.. I’m so glad though he recovered and to see the compassion you have for your patients is so heartwarming! Cheers from a large animal Veterinarian’s wife in Ontario, Canada! 🐄 ❤️

You can see the pain and devastation on your face watching the cow. I just wanted to give u a hug. You did everything you could. I appreciate you showing us your heart

I never knew that leaving a cow in a crush for 10 min would do that now I understand why you do your job right but ALWAYS try to get them out quick. Love the transparency Graeme and how u go out of ur way for the betterment of the cow/bulls🐃🐂❤️❤️🐂🐃

Heart was literally breaking when this big guy couldn’t get up. Couldn’t even look at my screen. This is not an easy job. Really takes someone with heart ♥️

Sharing the bad with the good makes sense, it adds to your authenticity. You are not doing a show, you are working and caring for animals. We love you for it, and your concern for a lame bull, with a horrific injury, is so amazing! Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy watching what you do. Some of us have been around live stock, I worked at the state fair and in several stables growing up so its a flash back to a past. You are much kinder then many I saw, when I had a horse I was very particular about who my Farrier was!

This was rough to watch, but I’m so glad that you shared it. I’ve heard you talk about wanting them in and out of the crush as quickly as possible before, and this really helps solidify why that is so important.

Love how devoted you are to your work and your upbeat personality. You deserve all the success and the spoils that come with it. I never knew I would be interested in watching hoof trimming. Thanks for the videos.

No wonder that poor boy was grumpy he must have been in so much pain. ☹️☹️. You are just so caring and compassionate, the way you react when the bull goes down was so moving. You do such amazing work. ❤❤

I never knew there was such a thing as hoof trimming (city kid here) I'm 72 years old and am impressed with your genuine concern for each animal. Cows are part of our cycle of life. You treat them with respect. If I had a herd, I'd want to care for them. Nice job young man. All the way from the state of Florida, USA.

Please do a FOLLOW UP ON THIS BULL PLEASE, he has fans now that care! Thank you for sharing & caring animal love.

Graham you might not see this but you’ve been helping me a lot recently with depression issues. I love your positivity and the mindset you have. Thank you for what you do

I am so glad he's doing better. He still has a Ling way to go, but with the care you give these animals, I have faith in you. God bless you and your crew . Stay safe.

Oh Graeme, that poor bull. 😢 I hope he improves enough to resume his duties!! And he earned the right to his attitude. If my foot was like that I'd have an attitude too! Thanks for sharing the good as well as the bad. It's brave of you. Ignore any haters and don't let them bring you down.

I remember a few months ago, replying to a comment from someone who had a background in veterinary nursing, but not in farming. They gave it all a good song and dance about cleaning the cows' feet, keeping things sterile. Myself and others tried to tell them it was impossible and impractical in a farm setting; both because of a cow's general lack of cleanliness and also because the aim was to get them out of the crush as fast as possible. But they weren't really having it. As far as they were concerned, when they were immobilised in the crush, you could take the time to clean off the cows' feet before you start work. I hope that person has watched this video. Because THIS is what we were trying to tell her at the time. Good on you, Graeme. There are a lot of people nowadays that get very offended by reality. You never want it to happen, but unforeseen circumstances and - heaven forbid - accidents do happen. I respect you a hell of a lot more than I already did anyway for being brave enough to show us the bad, as well as the good. It makes things that much more real and relatable. Fingers crossed this mardy moo ends up feeling better. :)

Please keep us updated on this bull, even if the news isn't the best. My fingers are crossed for him! Keep doing what you're doing and thank you for being so honest with us ❤️

You can see in your eyes the compassion for the bull! What you do is such a labor of love! I'm so glad that you return to check on him!

You can clearly see how much Graeme cares for the cows and bulls he treats. It’s good to see the hard/bad things as well as the good things. Keep up the good work Graeme!

I appreciate that you are showing all sides of business. You have stated several times that it’s not always a good ending. Like everyone else I’m looking forward to seeing updates on this bill.

Your love and concern for these animals is so abundantly clear. Sometimes it’s just a bad day for everyone. I hope your spirits and Mr Bull’s foot are on the mend.

I’ve seen several of your videos and already had a huge respect for what you’ve been doing to help these creatures out. Your response and words at the end just added a whole new level of respect and admiration. I wish more people learned from things with the grace you showed.

I discovered you while I was unwell and waiting for surgery. Surgery just happened and you have been a lifeline. I hope I can survive recovery .. this is so hard. You are a delight and I wish you much luck and happiness. Hello from Rocky Mountain House Alberta Canada. I work as a librarian which is the polar opposite from what you do but I really enjoy your passion! Thanks for everything!

It’s just heartbreaking when you see an animal struggling. You did everything that you could do. It’s just very stressful when recovery isn’t going the way you had hoped. I completely understand your situation my friend. Being a retired Certified Nurse Midwife, things like this turns you inside out . Relieved that the boy has taken a turn for the better. You did well; thanks for your openness.

I’m sorry this happened to you. It was a perfect storm. The trauma to the hoof, the resulting infection, the pain killers and sedative along with the length of the time in the crush. This is not a failure by far. He was standing in the sun in the end and you did make a difference. I love watching for the cows, they are my favorite animal. You are so patient, kind ,and caring. I like to see the good and the bad. It makes the transformation more rewarding. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’m sure you know , we’ll keep watching.

I dont know how you popped up on my phone, but i love watching you, Graeme!! And your crew You are NOT fat. You're a hunk. Your care of the cows and bulls you trim is wonderful to watch. I never even thought about cow's feet until you. Keep on keeping on😅😂

We had black Angus cattle when I was a kid, and the bulls were always really friendly. Like scary friendly-at 7 years old when a 2,500 lab animal takes an interest in you and follows you around the pasture like a dog, it can be a bit frightening.

Graham you have such a tender heart! It’s heartwarming to see just how much you care for these cattle. You are awesome and I hope you know that. I hope he gets better soon too ❤️

You as a person are so kind at such a wonder. As I see others saying they “use” your videos/persona to help them feel your posturing vibe. But man! I love and I can’t state this enough, I love being here for both sides of our life. And that helps me trough my tougher time with stress. Thank you so much for being you and thank you all (fans) to have this positive vibe as well!

You're a Star G..........so VERY 'touched' by your compassion for dear, relatively helpless bovines. Was once a cowman & adore the beasts to this day....am now rising 82 but was all ~@15yo~ but 'rubbed out' by a Guernsey HORNED 2yo bull! Your 'way' brings a tear to my old eyes......bless y'all, bless you dear lads.

So sad to see this bull in such pain. You helped him so much and showed such compassion for him. Thank you for your kindness and caring for these animals.😢

You and Sandi Brock are the only ones that I have to watch as soon as the notification bell rings. You do cows hoof. And she raises sheep. I really love watching you both. You have a great day and I pray that God blesses you and your family. And that he keeps you safe.

Before I could even watch the beginning, I had to watch the end to make sure there was hope for the bull. But I promise I started the video over and watched all the way through. It is soooo hard to see an animal suffering! Thank you for your compassion, that is the only way I could get through this video. Please, please, PLEASE keep us updated on this beautiful grumpy soul!

I have viewed this video 3 times over the last year and appreciate your caring for all of the cows and updating us, too. Hope by now the bull is fully recovered and back to his full time job!

Aww, that poor guy. 😢 I'm glad he has caretakers that work so hard for him and feel so deeply for his pain. Please update us on his progress.

Graham don’t beat yourself to a bloody pulp with the fact this bull got severe pins and needles brother. You did all you could to get him in and out of the crush as fast as possible. This is one of the worst injuries we’ve seen so far on the channel. These cows and this bull are very lucky to have someone who cares so much about them. You’re a good trimmer and a caring man. Thus proven by the fact you came back to that farm to check on the bull on your day off. So keep fighting the good fight man. You’ve always done more good for these cows than harm. Keep that in mind.

Having grown-up with livestock, sometimes this is the harsh reality and I commend Graham for his honesty

Out of all the videos I've seen of yours, this one was heartbreaking. I'm hoping he made a full recovery. As always it's so wonderful to see how caring you are with the animals.

He's a big beautiful boy. He's strong and feisty; That can help. You're giving him a chance. That's more than he would have had otherwise. No matter what though, it WAS a good day. You helped him get relief from the pain and THAT, kind Sir, IS a BLESSING! Prayers for Mr. Blackstone the Bull for complete healing and a long happy life, Prayers for you as well Graeme and your beautiful heart. Never stop being the incredible man your beautiful wife and children love!

It is one of the saddest footage of cattle, it is truly heartbreaking to see an animal in those conditions. Thanks for your sensitivity, GP, if updates are possible, good luck and thanks.

How is the Bull now? I was absolutely devastated for the Bull and of course for you. I literally gasped and covered my mouth for the duration after he stepped out 🥺🫣

16:27 The compassion that you show for your patients, speaks volumes for the man that you are.

Mr. Parker, yours is a brilliant heart of compassion and kindness and honesty; qualities of humanity our race is in desperate need of in trying times. Were I a rich man, I'd fly to Scotland just to buy you and Craig a round of beer to thank you for all the hard work you put not just into your job, but your videos also.

I have nothing to do with farming. I came across your videos by accident. And I’m a vegan which makes this slightly more odd. But. You treat these animals with respect and kindness. You try to make them healthy and have a good life. You do so much more then I think you realise. And despite not being the dairy and cattle industries biggest supporter I’m so glad these animals have you. Thank you for sharing the ups and the downs of your work. You show the reality of this world and educate people at the same time

You and the farmer have both tried to help this bull and that's a monumental statement to how much you care for the animals. Thank you for caring and for sharing these cases -- the bull may pull through yet, but if not, he was at least given a solid chance.

You did the best you could, Graeme and we all know or should know everything is sunshine and roses in life even with animals. I just hope he has gotten better. Bless you for being so helpful for these beautiful animals. ❤

I applaud your honesty. It’s so rare to see someone show the mistakes as well as the triumphs. 😎🇨🇦😎

The look he gave you, in that little field, when you went back to check on him, was like, "If I could run, you'd be a dead man." I've watched several of your videos, and you seem to genuinely care about these animals, and that's all that matters.

Thank you for showing the good, bad, and the ugly. It’s important that viewers see this side too. Your compassion and empathy for these animals is more than clear, and you are absolutely incredible at what you do ❤

This is exactly why I love watching your videos. You always keep it real and authentic, showing that not every day is perfect, but the work you do to help animals truly makes a difference. Even when things don’t go as planned, like with the bull, your dedication shines through. It’s clear that you're doing your best, and it’s inspiring to see that despite the challenges, every day still has its victories. Keep up the amazing work!

I for one am glad you didn't edit out anything. While watching this I felt devastated to his condition. It's like my own pet was hurt. I can't imagine how you felt being a caretaker to this animal. My heart breaks.

I appreciate that you're keeping it real. Especially when these videos are really supposed to be teaching moments. You can't sugar coat every lesson. This is a teaching moment. You handled it with sincerity and tact. Thankyou.

This video got me a little teary-eyed, poor bull... he's a beautiful creature and deserves to have a life as comfortable as possible.

You are so endearing! The way you care for all the cows and bulls (even the ones with attitude) warms my little heart. I'm so glad I found you on Tiktok because now I settle down after work and watch these videos to chill to! Keep doing what you're doing. You're educating people who are "city girls and boys" into the realities of farming and cattle and its so informative!!

You did your absolute best and I'm sure that bull knows it (even with his attitude). not every time will be perfect and not every time will be magically better. Sometimes things just happen, and the fact you checked on him so often shows how much you truly care. I'm thankful you showed this. I'm thankful for the level of care and love you show. You didn't have to but you did.

I’m glad you leave it all in. Thank you. It helps us have a good sense of what this looks like when it happens. Words sometimes don’t and can’t paint the picture of reality like a visual. So thank you

Graeme congratulations on your home addition. Can't believe someone would say you need to work out, you look great. More importantly Im sure Mrs. Hoof GP thinks you look great!😉 The Midwestern Hoof Trimmer had a cow that ripped her entire hoof off too about 5 months ago. So thankful you all are out there taking care & giving relief to these wonderful creatures. 🖤🐄🤍🐂🤎

Was introduced to your channel by my co-worker supervisor who watches your videos regularly. Being raised around farm animals, this resonates with me. Shades of the wonderful James Herriot books. Honesty and showing the good with the bad is part of life and the reality of having animals all round. If the farmer had not been able to catch and bring him in, the suffering would have been much worse for him . Bless you and your family and coworkers for your dedication and deep concern for the animals. You are the kind of person that all who work with animals should be like. Thank for all you do!

My heart breaks For that poor boy! Sending all my prayers that he recovers.

Are there any updates on this beautiful bull? I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now and really enjoy seeing the countryside and watching how you take such good care of these lovely animals with such respect and kindness. Thank you for your honesty and thoughtful manner in which you inform us about something I for one had no idea about. I hope this bull is doing better now. I hope you’re ok too.

There's a lot of care that goes into the treatment of the cows and bulls. The way that HoofGP tells the story and wants to see them improve is so wholesome. Thank you for the authentic content!

Thank you for sharing the ups and downs. The good and bad of your work. You are a great guy to have such compassion. It just goes to show how compassionate you are!! Great job!! Just keep doing what you do and being you!! 💖

I love you for showing this .. even though it hurts. This is life .. I've lost my man almost a year ago and I know that's just the harsh reality of life. Thank god there's so much more .. so much you do good for these animals. Be grateful for all you have (I know you are) Much love.

I thought you edited this video brilliantly, everyone likes the good days , unfortunately there will always be bad days, one thing this particular video highlights is that you genuinely and sincerely care about what you do ,the animals under your care and their welfare , your a credit to the industry ,well done sir.

It’s so nice to see someone who genuinely cares about their work and the animals they care for. I hope he makes a full recovery

I dairy farmed with my dad and his brother,for 25 years, now I’m disabled, but that still doesn’t explain why your channel is so fascinating to me. I absolutely love your videos and your sense of humor. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person work so hard for your family.

Hi I'm a country girl from Louisiana that now lives in MN. I love your videos. It reminds of working with animals with grandma. Congrats on the home extension!

Oh that broke my heart. That poor bull. The way he couldn't stand properly and kept falling. Poor little thing 😭💔 Thank you for helping him as much as you possibly could!

I've literally just finished reading some of James Herriots books and everything time they mentioned cattle i wondered what they'd have made of your videos. You seem to care so much for the cattle you deal with. Must admit to having a chuckle along with your videos and my hubby is now hooked too.

We want him to be better, too, Graeme. He needs all the cheerleading he can get, so it's great that you shared him with us. I hope he's a lot better.

After having seen Gracie's journey, this is hardly a downer by comparison. Given how stubborn the bull was about being treated (reasonably so), the fact it got treated at all towards recovery certainly gives him more of a fighting chance than he had the day prior. Here's hoping that leg eventually regains its vigor with the rest of him.

Graeme your genuine concerns for these beautiful animals is so heart warming. I like many had no idea what it takes to care for them. Prayers from Maryland for you, your family, and of course the big guy.

You have a heart of gold & these cows (& farmers) are so lucky to have such a compassionate guy taking care of them!!! One of the things I admire the most about you is that you are very upfront & honest. It takes a lot to share the bad stuff, but it's part of life & people need to see & know about the bad stuff you have to deal with in this job. Thank you for sharing this with us & I hope the bull is able to recover. Don't be so hard on yourself!!

I just subscribed. I live in cattle country myself - Far West Texas, US. I’ve never seen a “crush” before but we’ve got lots of old cowboys with stories like, “I remember the time when we were branding and a young bull stuck a rear hoof in my ear and almost cut it off. I got so mad, I went around and slugged him right in the middle of his forehead and knocked him out…” You often don’t know whether to believe what you hear or not 🤣 You got that bull standing and walking on that left leg - and that’s amazing❣️I hope you give an update on his progress . This is a fascinating channel. I’ll be back!

I wondered if he hadn’t already overstrained the front left by bearing more weight on it to keep his injured hind right off the ground. He has a lot of muscle/weight over his shoulders, so leaning away from the pain for months may have been more than his tendons/ligaments could handle when stepping down after being overlong in the crush. All my hopes and well wishes that he recovers. He’s a very handsome fellow, and crankiness is understandable.

Your compassion is endearing and serves to remind us the harsh truth of life. It is necessary to be reminded sometimes that we are stewards of animals, not to have dominion over them but to hold their care as important as our own. We do what we can with what we have. ❤

I never thought I would cry through a Hoof GP video, but I did today. When the bull couldn't stand up I was in tears. I hope that bull can recover from this.

What you’re doing is pure, honest, difficult work and you deserve all of the rewards that come from it.

I could feel your anguish, I had tears. You should feel proud you did everything you could. In 46 years of animals, I've not ever seen anything like that. I have heard of it, not seen it. I'm glad you didn't edit it out. Sometimes people need to see reality. Welldone, buddy. Great job.

I'm so sorry this happened. You did all you could. I'm praying he'll be alright. I can tell how much you care about every cow you work on. Take care. Thank you.

You can truly understand that you care about your patients. They may be animals but they are still patients. The love and care you show them makes me very happy someone is out there fighting for them. No wonder you have so many subscribers.

Thanks for sharing... this is a gut wrenching story, hopefully the bull recovers from being in the crush *and* his hoof recovers, and I hope you and Craig recover from this episode. It is tough to see anyone/any animal in this kind of pain.

I really like how you are tender and concerned about how they feel and do your best to resolve the situation. As you show a lot of love and care which is awesome. I just found your channel and I really enjoy the music and the type of individual you are to these cows. I'm sure that they are happy to, as you are very gentle and kind and not mistreat them. My new favorite channel.

Your videos take me to another place away from my stresses, thank you!

Im glad you shared this with us. I hope that he feels better soon. Grame your a very kind person. They are so lucky to have you.

Your care and compassion for the animals is everything! Makes me like you even more😊. You are one of a kind. Thank you!
