Graham when I first started watching your videos and I was in a very dark place because I had lost my husband to a brain tumor. Your kindness and hard work helping these hurting animals helped me to move forward one day at a time. I’m 71 and meeting you is on my bucket list. You’re a fine young man who it’s obvious you love your family and your work. Bless your heart and soul for being a healer to animals and humans alike 💕💕💕
He helped me get thru my sister dying of bile duct cancer. My sister watched too, to take her mind off of pain and impending death. She was 44. She's been gone a year. I understand and empathize completely!
My heart breaks for both of you who have lost your loved one. I'm glad you found a measure of peace in someone who clearly has a massive heart of his own. I hope you continue to heal ❤
Every time you have to use a nozzle to separate the claws, I can only think of the foam toe separators that get used when they're painting toenails during a pedicure. It's nice that your ladies are getting such nice spa treatment.
@@user-cq7sg3ok9h That might come under medical treatment which would need a licence. Also it might cause issues when the cow leaves the crush as they wouldn't have feeling in their claw/feet and they could injure themselves further. Plus it might take time to take hold which is more time the cow is in the crush which would stress them out and you can't leave the cow in the crush until it wears off as that would cause stress. The best thing to do in this case is work as swiftly as practicable so that the problem is alleviated and the cow is back with its herd mates.
@@user-cq7sg3ok9h hoof trimming doesn't touch living tissue, is literally cutting nails. Hoof horn is dead tissue, no point on using some numbing agent on it.
I love how G speaks to and about the the cows, the “girls,” as if they’re human, as if they understand everything he says. Very cool. It shows his deep and true compassion for the cows and their well being.
Graeme, this was difficult to watch. You can almost feel her pain. I extend gratefulness on behalf of all the girls for all the effort you put into caring for them.
Hi Graham & the team, i watch your videos religiously and have never mentioned this but i suffer from depression & watching just takes my thoughts to a different place & feel so much better for it, so please keep them coming.
Hey Neil , Hang in there Fellow Herd Member we are like a 2.27M Family here & Greame is our Guru with his calming & soothing voice . Then you throw Kev & Graige in the mix OMG they are so funny together . Also go watch him playing with The Highland Calves OMG I could watch that every day 🐮they are beyond Adorable . Love Anita
I appreciate the chill vibe of: “hanging out with your dad on the farm as he teaches you his craft and sprinkles in life lessons”. That gentle but stern: “Yes, I make mistakes too” Made me want to forgive myself and be better 😅
Thank you Graeme for all you do! You definitely are: The COW WHISPERER! ✨🌟🐮🐮🐮🌟✨🎉 Not only are you a Blessing to the Sweet Cows, you are a Blessing to all of us as well! We love all,of your Support Team too!! U GUYS ROCK!!! Keep up the good work! God bless all of you and all the Beautiful Cows! 🙏🏻💜🐮🐮🐮💜🙏🏻🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨
Your love for those critters shows! And the fact that you teach your skill is wonderful for the cows and those you are teaching! You're a good man, Graeme
I should have found your channel way earlier as i amstudying veterinary medicine and want to get into cattle and your video shows and explains everything so nicely + i just had hoof infections and ways to treat them where we exactly spoke about that cow shoe. Very fascinating
@@supernova11711 I've reported them when the RU-vid algorithm sends it to me (versus search for them). Haven't seen them in a while, hopefully enough people reported them.
To start I am a retired disabled veteran from the US air force, and I have been watching your U Tube show for about 6 months and love your shows. I live near Witchia kansas the temp hear was 82 F or 40 centigrade. My wife and I were in the highlanbmds back in 1983 (my wife was from Peterborough Cambridgeshire England). We have been married for over 43 years. I love watching your show when you cragieboy and Kevin are with you. Keep up the shows. I watch your shows about 4 hours daily. And I plan on getting some of your merchandise soon.
You remind me of my dad, he was navy and loves youtube videos! I've been thinking of showing him Hoof GP videos lately, they're so easy to watch many of. Very satisfying. Thanks for your service & I hope the hot weather isn't hitting you all too much!
Graeme that was impressive! It was a very delicate area around the wall horn and you absolutely aced it! I hope she gets to feeling much better now!! Thanks!
I while ago, I noticed that I automatically stop breathing each time you make a stroke across the hoof! Sometimes I clench my jaw and even my stomach muscles (the tougher the "cut", the more I clench 😂). 🤷🏻♀️ I am convinced that each time you uncover a problem, the animal is so relieved. I saw how she was much calmer from when you first exposed the issue compared to before you did it. Just goes to show how much pain relief you're giving, and how quickly you can do it!
I love that you always address how sharp the knife is and how dangerous it can be if you're not careful. It's comforting to hear how important it is each time 😊
I'm sure she's feeling a lot better already! That had to hurt like the dickens! Thanks for helping all of these cows out! You do such a great job! Stay blessed! Love you guys! 💖🥰❤️🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wait did you get the new Highland Cow t-Shirt already ???? If so that means mine is on it`s way ,🏃♀that is me running to the post office or checking my email 😉
i loved it when you apologised to the cow for saying her foot smelled bad. this is why you are the only hoof GP i can watch.. i haven't seen another one be so kind to the coos x
I like the farm noises and the cows...it adds a sense of satisfaction to the whole process...I hope this little lady is feeling better after her time with you. I'm so glad there are caring hoof trimmers taking care of their feet.
I introduced an elderly friend to you videos as she has dealt with farriers and blacksmiths etc and she Saud she has never seen anyone so considerate and caring with animals like you are.this is very high praise from someone who isn't easily impressed but you definitely get a huge thumbs up from her and me
This was an interesting one, Graeme! Very detailed trim for the lady. I'm sure she will thrive and do well healing. Love me some scummy pus 😂 Retired Nurse here 🇺🇸 Cheers to all of you🎉
Like this wonderful woman down me wrotes... you are such a kind man. We need more humans like you in this world. Respect for all living things, kindness and sense of humor in a sad situation teaching us everything can heal and get better no matter what, is a tremendous lesson. My son has severe autism. Im a single mom cuz my marriage failed because so much suffering between my exhusband ptsd from war and our son sindrome. My days are very difficult full of stress and loneliness but i watch one episode of your show before go to bed afterr my son fall asleep ( he has sleep issues too) and I get relax with a smile on my face knowing tomorrow can be a better day and time helps to heal....god bless you all!!! Thank you!
The smell is the thing i hated more than anything. We didnt have a fancy crush nor power tools when i was a teen and learned. Got the scars from a half down sharp hoof ripping me open. Gor the scars from a knife or a rasp when they pulled loose and kicked it into me. Grew up on a hobby farm and all we ever had was about 15 maybe 20 head at a time. I was a hard head gen x that pestered them down until they finally let me get in there even with the dangers. I have ZERO regrets and loved my upbring.
Hey Graham! I work for a company that grooves rubber belting for barn floors, anytime we are at a farm, hoof trimmers thank us because what we do helps TREMENDOUSLY, I watch your videos every time a new one comes out! Keep up the great work!
I love cattle. I love milk cows, beef cows, bulls, steers and bovine of all kinds. I love their moos and groans. I just think they are so neat.. especially their tongues- they are the weirdest things but wow.. just kinda cool. yea.. I love cows.
Love your work! Watching you has helped me through dark times and the loss of my father to cancer earlier this year. Just here to say i also do miss the old intro with the music!
I’ve found you a year and a half since I lost my Sister who was my everything being without her has left me lost, but your videos have helped me so much to start to heal your love for your family and the animals and your unstoppable positive attitude has really helped me thank you for all you do.
Love you Graeham and crew, the quality of your videos has improved, both the sound and video are super crisp and clear. The love you show the animals keeps me coming back to see you ❤
Love the content, just started the video! But I also love how, whomever is *filming* didn't note that when you lifted the flap of hoof horn at the start... Ya got BUBBLES!
Love how much love you get just by being a decent human being and doing your job (which also happens to be very wholesome) this whole channel and community restores my faith in humanity
I used to work in college at a milk farm, and ever since, I've been in love with cows. I love your channel and love how you work on these suffering animals
Graeme, I appreciate your descriptive narration of what exactly you are doing and WHY; it’s a real learning experience and your description of smell is also very important as our sense of smell is our first clue of infection.
I hope I'm not becoming a nuisance, but I am a really really a big fan(even though I'm basically unknowlegable). Something about what you do and the way you do the things to make the cows and bulls as comfortable as possible. Just for fun have you thought about doing a segment speaking your native language (with English subtitles)? Ithink it would be a really big hoot😊. Blessings on you and all your families and friends!
The cows knew “the famous HGP” was in the house so they wanted to get a moo shout out on camera - their 15 mins (or secs) of fame - compassionate, professional job as always 🥰
Saying Hello from America, I'm a direct descendant of Kenneth MacAlpin, the 1st King of Scotland. Maybe someday my wife and I will be able to make a visit to my ancestral homeland, until then, I hope you will keep the turf cut and the cows happy.
A very interesting hoof, I feel so sorry for the heifer concerned, I'm sitting in my living room fascinated by your work on her hoof. Your explanations of what you are doing and why. Thanks for giving us a window into your work.
Good to watch you taking the time needed to get through this trim. I enjoy your explanations and of course, the cows, scenery, and Craig, Kevin, and everyone. -Cindy 💕🐄💕🐄
I just imagined this from the cows perspective. “Yes girl, I am getting my mani pedi again! Oooh my hoofs are sore!” And then while he is working she’s like: “Omg yeah! He got that thing out- woah be carful that’s me!” *gets out the flame thrower and gel* I bet the warming up of her toes and that soft squishy gel feels way better. Ok one last thing. Can you imagine the cows comparing? “Ooooh! He knows I’m a spring/summer. And girl, that salmon pink? On you? Goals! 🤩”
This is one show where I'm glad NOT to have smell-avision! 😂 That poor girl, I hope she's a lot more comfortable with your treatment, Graham. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
