HUGE HOLE THROUGH COWS HOOF! 

If this channel has taught me anything its to appreciate other people's stories - it's awesome to see people opening up here in the comments. Right now my life feels great and Im lucky to have what I have and to do what I do - but trust me, there are hidden darknesses in my life - so if you're having a tough time of it right now - believe me when I say... You're not alone.

Who here can say his trimming is my therapy

2 weeks ago Me: why would youtube recommend cow hoof trimming to me? Now Me: Oh ya she's gonna need a block!

I was enthusiastically telling my sister about this channel a few months ago. She said, “You mean Hoof GP with Graeme?” We found you independently and love you collectively❣️

I lost my husband to cancer 6 months ago nearly and the calm wonderfulness of your channel really helps. I love the care and attention you pay to each and every cow you visit. Thank you xx

I love when the cows leave the crush and you can tell they are expecting to have pain, but after a few steps you can see them being like "Oh, hey, this feels so much better," and they begin walking more steadily.

Graeme, I’m not a farmer. I don’t know anything about cows other than where beef and milk come from. I don’t have knowledge or understanding about hoofs or trimming. I”m not even into the ASMR aspect or fascinated by “the chips flying” The reason I keep coming back to your videos is because of how much you care about what you do, and how well you go about sharing it. Your videos are so well put together. The countryside is gorgeous. The music is wonderful. And your true care and appreciation for all the living beings around you always shines through. You are a shining example of who the Scots are. I have that blood in me as well, and I’d have come home long ago if only my grandfather had been born a year earlier, before his parents emigrated. Thank you for thinking of us as well, and thank you for being who you are.

I'm not a vet, I don't own a farm or have never worked on one. I don't work with animals. The closest I've ever been to to cows is the summer county fair. I have a small dog and a few goldfish. That said, this is one of my favorite channels. Hoof GP just seems like a genuinely nice human being.

I’m battling deep seated depression right now, but your videos always cheer me up. It’s nice knowing that you care about us, and the animals. Love your stuff. Keep up the good work!

If someone calls me a “heifer” now, I can say “Thank You” I’m part of the “Hoof GP” herd.🤣

Currently stuck at home after being hit head on by a boy racer. Husband just got back to work after a semi truck rolled over him on the freeway. He was off for six months and sustained brain damage, but he's slowly recovering. All that being said, things could be worse. I have a warm home, food to eat and a husband who has never stopped loving and supporting me. Even when he didn't recognize me when he was in the hospital after his accident, he told me that he didn't recognize me but he knew that I was his soul mate and we needed to be together, despite my age. Lol! He is actually 13 years my senior, but the accident put him back about 25 years, right after his divorce and before he met me. He now remembers our 23 years together, but it took many months, and the new personality he has since the accident is quick to anger, but also more fun, more loving, and better.

I’m an artist struggling with depression and anxiety, and hell this is my first time seeing your videos as RU-vid randomly recommended one to me, but I just wanna say thanks for reminding me there’s still good people like you in this world. The way you care for the cows is beautiful, and it warms my heart to see them feel better.

So many in the comments going through exceptionally difficult times during an already hard time....I'm sorry for you all. :( I hope things get better! It was so hard reading some of the comment. Sending good thoughts everyone's way! Even if this video and its comments are a bit old, I'm still hoping everyone comes out on the other better than they started.

I found out in my late 30's and 40 that I have a learning disability and am Autistic. School mentally broke me and now with some answers I'm just starting to build a life in my 40's after feeling broken for 40 years. I've never been on a date and get painfully lonely, a few years ago with the help of a great therapist I saw an escort for the first time. The first skin contact hugs I had ever had at 40, as you can imagine I was a nervous wreck. I saw her a few times and then Covid happened so I just saw her again for the 5th time last weekend after not seeing her for two years. I was a lot more comfortable and it was truly magical experience, most likely the best experience of my life. Now I have to keep working on growing my broken sense of self-worth so I might be able to find a partner one day. Being alone for decades makes a mess of mental health. Thank you for asking how everyone is. :)

I love how the crush is absolutely pristine and sparkling, but the inside of your pickup looks like a ploughed field! 😂

I’m battling a terminal disease. But I love the distraction you’re videos give me. I love the respect you give all the animals

I’m stuck in a Hoof GP rabbit hole! 😂 I grew up on a dairy farm but left it when I was 11, but your videos bring back so many happy memories of times with the Friesian herd. (I used to use the crush as a climbing frame growing up) Your videos are wonderfully therapeutic and calming.

I've been on disability for 4 months, diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. I hope to be cancer free soon, I'm tired of being sick. The bright spots of my day are when you post a new video healing those cows who need it. I like your sense of humor and your taste in music. Keep it going.

I usually roll my eyes when a RU-vidr asks how their viewers are doing, but he seems genuinely to care.

Lost my father and father in law in the last 4 months from covid. Kids are taking it in stride but it's alot to take on. Your videos make a bright spot in this dark time. Thank you for being so positive and uplifting.

It's so much nicer to watch people being real and beautiful than actors pretending to be real and beautiful.

"Yes they have dirt on them, because they're cows" Is the answer to half the thoughts I have. God I love these guys.

Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine myself watching and falling in love with this channel. So therapeutic thank you GP:)

I was a middle school teacher and got Covid at school. I’ve had a tough recovery and haven’t been back to work since getting sick over a month ago. I literally didn’t know how to feel about not being in my career and being at home unpaid, so I look for ways to relieve my stress. Your channel has been a source of calm and peace for me through this time. I enjoy watching hoof trimming and the way you restore each one. Thank youuuu for all you do!

If your subscribers are part of your herd, you should offer merch (coffee mugs) with your logo and "Herd Member" as part of the design!

Just had my first vaccine shot, second in a month and I'll be on my way to prevent Covid 19! Daughter's family of 5 moved in with me due to economy. But we will survive . looking forward to things getting better.

This is certainly a Labor of love, your job. It’s nice to see somebody who actually does care about the animals they treat..✨

Hi from Mississippi. I stumbled upon your channel tonight and I think I’m like 6 or so videos in row now. Haha. I’m a first responder (currently at work doing my homework ) I’m in paramedic school to further my education. It’s been pretty rough working in and through COVID. But seeing how genuine and kind y’all both are , and the care y’all take in your job makes me feel like there are people who are still like that. I like your positive outlook and your lighthearted jokes. Finding your channel has honestly made me smile. P. S. I love cow. And live around a lot but working so much I never got to pet one or feed one until the state fair came and I was able to work it as an emt. On my breaks I would go and feed the calves and play with them as much as I could. It was there for two weeks and the men who ran it saw how interested I was in them after close every night I was allowed to come tell them goodnight and on the last day they let me hug all the cows. Sounds silly but it was the best thing

As I raised my three kids by myself to wonderful adults , they really shine in 2020 when on my 63 b-day I was told I had breast cancer but caught it in time. The Things they show me what giving back is all about I didn't need any financial support but inside their hearts support made me a very bless mother and grandmother. I am one year cancer free on March 20 my 64 BIRTHDAY life is great!

I woke up with a migraine and to a text from my dad telling me he had to put down my beloved cat because she was too old to the point she could no longer walk. This was a cat I had rehabilitated and helped socialize in my late teens, and she became one of the most loving cats I had. Didn't get to say goodbye. So I'm here watching your videos to try to help cope with the loss. Thanks for being you, GP.

I am a disabled veteran suffering from chronic pain that seems to just get worse every day so watching you relieve suffering in these animals makes me very happy

Graeme, Life is great when you’ve got family and something to look forward to. My sister and I are both nurses but finally are moving out of the big city of Chicago. We just bought a small 16 acre cow farm in Tennessee, US. We’re not going to be able to have the cows ourselves because at our age it is a little hard to start a whole new career but we’re going to lease some of the land out to a cow farmer because owning cows has been my lifelong dream (yes it truly has been) and just knowing I’m going to be waking up looking out over my own land and seeing those beautiful big girls walking around is the Greatest gift we could ask for.

We are retired, and we have been together 48 years, so we're OK in ourselves, but missing our grandchildren as they grow up so fast. We should both have had our shots by June, and then our daughter will think it's safe for them to see us. They live in a higher COVID area and she is so afraid of being the one to spread COVID to us! I enjoy seeing your little boys. Anyone who has children with them during this isolation is really blessed. I love your work. I love the cows. You are performing a service to your viewing public, little though you may know it, taking us on an adventure in Scotland.

It's been a good week, so far. Husband's chemo for stage 4 renal cancer is showing some improvement and we've managed to put 4 pounds back onto his too-thin frame. I'm hoping the trend continues, now that his appetite is returning. Simple things like afternoon tea on the porch or our unique ability to riff on one another's jokes are like gold, these days.

Im 69 yr old grandmother who cant physically do what I love. U uplift my day watching ur working w animals, makes my day happier and brings back great memories. Blessings to ur show. PS. Love ur accent !😁

Some of my happiest memories are of spending time with my dad in and around the cattle courts of the nearby farms. I got to know cattle quite well as every summer a herd of stirks were pastured in adjacent fields. Huge animals; timid but curious and as I spent a lot of time strolling round with them, leaning against them and rubbing their necks and faces, they would gradually become less worried when I arrived in their field. I adored the way they would come up to me and lick my jumper.These sweet, gentle giants. How I loved them. And that is why I love these videos for bringing back these wonderful memories.

So glad things are well in your life Graeme! After several years of surgeries, chemotherapy, & radiation I'm in remission from breast cancer. I couldn't ask for anything more. So grateful to be alive. Ty for asking! Cheers. To anyone struggling, huge hugs sent to you and I hope tomorrow is so much better. ☀️

Starting my 6th year with my Colo-Rectal Cancer under control and still in remission. At 71, that is indeed a blessing. I firmly believe that God walks with you until the journey gets tough and then he carries you the rest of the way. I would like to spend a day with you as you go about your work. I didn't appreciate Farm Life when I was younger, but all of you guys and gals remind me of what a blessing I had for such a short period of my life. Now - THAT'S A WIN!! Be safe and God bless you, Craig and your families. Ave Maria. Amen.

No problems in my life. Became a grandma for the 1st time @68. 2 beautiful granddaughters, 2 1/2 year's and 2 !/2 months..God has been good to me way beyond what I have earned. Then a few months ago I found myself watching a young man and his best friend trimming cow's hoofs. The nearest I get to a cow is the meat department or dairy department of my local grocery store. I'm loving this, and you and your families. Seeing you doing a top job and enjoying it is a blessing. God bless and keep you and your families, now and forever. AMEN. Actually glad to seeing you put a block on that one.

It sure is...rather watch Graeme than somebody poppin' pimples! I enjoy Graeme's sense of humor and positive attitude!

We're doing alright. It's me and my elderly mother living here now. Dad and my Nick are gone now, so it's just us widows being merry together. She's had both of her COVID shots, and I'm scheduled for my second one at the end of the month. What I miss the most is being able to visit my sisters and their kids. I've a two month old niece I've only seen pictures of, and she's so stinkin' cute there ought to be a law against it! Cheers to you Graeme, for helping to keep us all entertained and educated during lockdown. Hope you and yours are all doing well.

I’ve tried to make the best of the situation. Couldn’t go out to eat, so I went on a diet and have lost 60 pounds (so far). I’ve been working on all those projects that needed doing but hadn’t found the time. The wife and I haven’t talked to each other so much in years! My dad would say, “Got lemons, make lemonade.”

This video is 10 months old as I watch it, and I must say the last 10 months have seen many good and bad things come and go... the good things have come because of bad things happening. But I must say this is so relaxing and enjoyable. Some part of my family come from Scotland at one point or another in the past and I so love seeing the landscape you share. It is on my bucket list to get over the sea one day to spend a good month seeing the different parts of your beautiful homeland.

I Love Cows!!! And I love your channel!! I am fighting Stage 4 Breast Cancer and when I settle in at night, after my meds, I get comfortably set up in bed at night and watch Hoof GP 🤩 before you know it I’m relaxed and fight sleep because I enjoy the videos so much…..You, Graeme and Craig are a dream team. Thank you for your hard work and for being lovely to us…..Your Herd 😍Much Love to you both and your families, from me, Cheryl, in Bath, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 xoxoxo

I'm going to retire July 9 and spend quality time with grandkids and my kids. Loving life

Dear RU-vid algorithm: I have no idea why you thought I'd be interested in cow hoof trimming, since I don't have cows and haven't lived in the countryside in decades....but thanks. This is the most relaxing and uplifting channel on RU-vid. It always raises my spirit a little bit when I'm having to deal with my crappy job, to see someone who loves his job, makes animals feel better, and gets to live in one of the prettiest landscapes in the world.

I am catching up on all early videos I missed before I started watching the Hoof GP. I have acute myeloid Leukemia for which all treatment has failed. So I am terminally ill but find these videos really relaxing for some odd reason. I am lucky with great support from family and friends and distraction from the various hoof trimmers. Started with Graeme, now Tech TV and the US ones.

So grateful for all the healing you bring to not only the cows but the herd as well. I have been watching your channel for 4 months now and enjoy the care you show and your personality. You seem to be made for both of your jobs.

I noticed that the cow with the ”toe hole” was turning around once she got into the sun. I’m sure it was to say thank you!

I just found this channel the other day. I don't know what's better, seeing a bad hoof get better, the awesome drone shots while you are driving or listening to your lovely accent. A little of my story is that I'm in Upstate New York and I'm the sole caretaker of my mom who is 85 and most days now isn't sure who I am. I'm 1 of her 4 children (I turn 60 tomorrow and I'm the youngest) and with COVID lockdowns, no one has come in, in a year now so I've had no breaks at all as mom can't be alone more than a couple hours.

How nice to be asked how my life is. I wouldn’t say it’s a lovely dream, but I feel each day is a gift. I live in Northern California and work in a plant nursery, I have two grown daughters and a partner I love. Life has its ups and downs, but generally I’d say life is good, and I appreciate the little things, including your wonderful channel that lets us peek into your world once in awhile. Cheers and hugs to all.

I enjoy watching you help the cows. I am a farm girl, 65 years young. My Grandparents on both sides of my family. My parents tried to farm but things happened and they lost their farm when I was young. I am fighting pancreatic cancer and watching your videos helps me think about something other than what I am going through! Thank you for sharing your family and your helping farmers keep their cattle healthy. May God Bless You and Your Family and Craig & His Family. Thank You!

I just my first counselling after years of avoiding it, suppose that's a win. How's everyone else?

Thank you, my life is good again, after a horrible year. I'm a tourguide, and through covid, I've lost my business that was just taking off the ground, had to move out of that fancy flat, find work gigs outside of my industry. Now I'm getting back by finding a new, more modest home, a wonderful parttime job and I'm returning to my career doing virtual tours. I've discovered your channel during those long, empty, depressed days of last April, and been a fan ever since. A lot of times when I'm sad, I think of cows, hooves, applying blocks and walking more comfortable, and it makes me happy. If you ever come to my home city of Prague, give me an echo and I'll give you the best tour ever, free of charge. Promise not to be a fanboy too much :-).

If you had asked me a few months ago whether I would look forward to watching mucky cows' and bulls' hooves getting trimmed, I would have laughed and said, "you have got to be kidding." But Graeme and Craig, you make it so entertaining and educational that I am now a devoted follower. Of course, I also love your Scottish brogue:)

I started watching your channel in the middle of my Masters. I did my undergraduate in biology but I didn’t like being in the lab. My masters is in computer science and I finish in a few weeks. My PhD actually starts even before my Masters ends. Im excited because it means I am using both my strengths, and I may actually get to make a difference with my work

I’ve become paralyzed in my legs and had to have a spinal fusion to see if I could walk again but I’m not seeing much progress so thank you for everything you do

Today is a gift... that's why we call it "the present". Each day I wake up is a good day!

Graeme, your interactions with the beasties, be they bovine or canine, makes me smile while it warms my heart. Thank you.

I was born and raised in Wisconsin where there are cows-a-plenty. Now, I live in a suburb of Chicago. Watching these videos, I am brought home. Thank you.

I don’t comment often, but this is the first video of yours I’ve seen at home in over a week after being in the hospital from covid and pneumonia, but I can say I got a lot of enjoyment out of your videos this last week or so. Keep on keeping on and keeping helping those moo cows!

Your weather seems just like here in New England. The saying goes: "You don't like the weather? Wait a minute."

I'm pretty happy right now. I just got my passport, and I'm taking my daughter to Canada in ten days for her 30th birthday. I'm taking classes half time, sign language and Spanish, and I work full time at a university. It's the best job I've ever had.

Life is good. I know you posted this over 2 years ago, but I thought I would pop in and tell you that I am blessed! Thank you for all your videos! Our little family loves them so much!

I was a professional pet groomer for 35 years, it takes special caring people to work with animals, you have to have compassion...I am happily retired now living the life of a permaculture gardener in Florida...I goof off 24-7 and love it...life is great and so are the bananas fresh off the tree !

I think we all like this so much is he just seems so happy, loves his job, and he heals sick cows.

What a good doggo. He deserves all the pets and treats he can handle

I take care of my 95+ yr old Mom. She is wonderful and she needs a lot of help because of arthritis etc. We have a great time together, but she needs more and more help as time goes by. She lives alone, but I'm just 4 minutes away and am there most of the day. I really look forward to unwinding and watching you and all of the wonders that you do with the ladies and the bulls. Thank you. :)

I’m in my 70s so everyday is a gift!

I'm not going to lie, life is pretty rough right now. However, my family and I are coping and we will make it! I love watching your videos. They take me to another place for a short time. Thank you for sharing!

I love the positivity and Graeme doesn't just trim cows, he's helping farmers and interacting with cows and teaching us! I love how he talked about interacting with people around small towns being different than big cities and it's so true. This series is so calming and peaceful, even when there's stress or a long day. It's still refreshing to hear the music and watch another cow get trimmed up. This is my break from Nursing school! 🥰 Thanks Graeme!

With all my mental health issues I love this channel. You are awesome with helping your channel family. Right now I take care of my 86 year old grandmother. I have been taking care of her going on 4 years now, she's my only grandparent left alive. My go to companion is my 10 year old dog I rescued at 7 weeks old when I found him in a hamster cage he's been a spoiled boy ever since

Everytime I hug my husband I hear you opening song 'I fall into you"

My goodness! I’m going to cry! I am blessed to have been able to teach throughout this whole COVID thing. My fellow teachers/work family are a bunch of wonderful people. We drop everything to help each other! My son is graduating high school, Magna Cum Laude. He was accepted to to two colleges and having such a loving and supportive family to help me raise him.🥰🥰

Again, I'm new to your channel but right away, you're so positive and I'm already feeling better. I finally took a few days off of work because I was one step from going to the hospital with my recent relapse of "we almost know what disease it is" (Lyme disease type deal) so, my mood isn't great. But your channel is so full of genuine passion and compassion and warmth and just everything so infectiously positive, pun intended, that my mood always improves. But life is improving!! At least we almost know now. It's just lovely that you even ask your viewers how their days are and it's obvious that you care. I'm glad I found this channel! Thanks for the healing vibes.

If I would have seen this last year in March I would have said that things were starting to look up for me. In 2012 I suddenly started having seizures and by 2020 had suddenly stopped. Doctors could find no reason either to have happened. I got my year of no seizures in and was waiting to see the doctor about getting my driver's license back (which I did in April of last year). Now my life has flipped upside down again as I am now taking care of my 78 (almost 79) year old father who is in stage 5 kidney failure. It's tough but he is still kicking it. I like watching videos like these ones because it makes it seem like I am getting out in the world, learning new things. I know almost everyone in the world is fighting some sort of personal fight which is why I try to be so understanding of others. Thank you for filming your job, it's actually taught me a lot more than I would have thought.

I could watch an hour long video of only hoof trimming - even just the routine ones! Thanks again for a great video!

I don’t have cow, I never will have cows yet I love to watch you fix the cows and make their life better. I hardly ever miss one video and catch up quickly. I choose not to live my life according to my circumstances. I choose to be happy all the time. I know the best is yet to come.

I actually truly love you guys. Thank you. You are not alone and the very best way to deal with the hell of life is to provide the absolute perfect contrast. I loooooooove Hoof GP. Thank you very very much for caring so much and showing us all your amazingly gorgeous days.

Must be satisfying for a teacher to see a foormer pupil with a good, settled and fulfilled life.

I live in Canada...if I knew that this service exists, I would have got training and do this for a career. Can't now tho. 50 years old and a bad back. Thing is. I dreamed of doing this, people around me said this was a stupid dream. Now I know I ain't crazy, and love watching you Graham. Thank you for opening up my mind. U and Craig are good men. With hearts of gold! 💛

I live in Australia so apart from the very occasional outbreak from quarantine hotels we are almost back to normal. Yes we are now in economic recession but we are as safe as we can be. I’ve never been more grateful to live here. Wishing the best for everyone during theses tough times.

I follow this channel for a while now ..I live in Norway I am sitting on my sofa I am knitting and watch for hours videos from this channel..God job sir 👍👍👍👍👍

My life’s good. I had a cancer scare last year, but it went away with surgery. So I’m good as gold 😊! Glad to hear you’re doing good Graeme.

Before I saw one of your videos I never realized how much care and attention was paid to the feet of cows. I'm glad that there are people like you and your brother in law who are so passionate about what you do.

My life is amazing at 63, I'm engaged to be married! I guess you truly are never too old to love again ❤️

I’m not even really into farming, but this stuff is pretty interesting, and I also love the positive energy!

Love the Scottish country side and the weather, four seasons in one day!!! Can not beat it. I just love watching this channel, and seeing the cows "skipping out", when they were limping in. Love the music Mr Hoof GP

What's not so good: living on my own and continually having to shield due to a transplant. What's going to be good: returning to work next term (I work in a school) and seeing my amazing colleagues again. I literally cannot wait. :-)

I'm going through a very tough time because of an illness in my family, and some mental health struggles. Your videos are very soothing and they help calm me down so thanks for making them.

The other day, i walked past my mom and she heard your video. Both of love watching your videos and listening to you talk.....adore the accent!

Just got back from a camping trip with my friend and our horses and looking forward to our next trip. Love your videos, keep up the good work!

I’m looking forward to some warmer weather and spend time with family & friends. Stay safe everyone, hang on in there xx

Can you someday show us how you kit out your crush? Checking the supplies, maintenance wash it down and so forth? How do you get them fixed if there's a mechanical issue?

This channel helps me relax. Windswept for insomnia. The musical choices are perfect.

How does it feel to realize you are teaching the whole world about bovine feet! Buddy, you are awesome.

Please never change the into song....it's so calming ❤️

Life is good, my family are healthy, I’ve worked all the way through and spend days with people who appreciate me being there for them. Can’t ask for more, thank you for asking.

Well, … my son passed away a few years ago from an infection called endocarditis. We are having a really hard time moving on from that and don’t know what our family looks like without him because of the grief, it’s very very hard! My husband and I both have beginning stages of dementia and I was just told I have an issue with a valve in my heart. Sooo I escape to utube! Thank you for making this possible for me!

Hey! I live in western Canada but my maternal side of my family I have traced right back to the 1700's in Scotland. Balquhidder, Oban, Stirling, Fife - you name it we had a big family. Names of Robertson, Nicholson, McGregor, Syme, McIntyre and I could go on. I was VERY, VERY close to my maternal grandmother and all that side of the family. She lived to 82 but her brother (John) lived to 109. I miss them all so much - I was their favourite!! They were AWESOME to me. Fantastic people. I wish I could come to Scotland!
