Haven’t watched the video yet but I wanted to thank you Graeme. If I hadn’t learnt about the head lifting thing from you then I would have missed my dogs bone cancer for weeks, but we found it before he starting hopping. So thank you
I am so relieved to read that. We had no idea that our last girl had anything wrong. No nodding head or limping until one morning when she pulled up on her walk and had to limp home. We thought she'd pulled a muscle, or got a stress fracture - she was a greyhound. They're either the world's biggest babies or totally stoic. We hadn't a clue that one of our old boys had kidney stones until he literally screamed like a human on passing one! Needless to say, like with our girl, he went straight to the vet. But in her case it was too late. Though she outlived the vet's prognosis of two weeks tops (I said she showed no pain until that day; I really meant it!). I didn't get "the look" for over 2 months. She was on good medication. Though I still - after 5½ years - feel guilty for not spotting it earlier. She'd had the mildest limp about 6 months earlier which didn't last a morning. That _might_ have been when it started but after that, nothing. It didn't even look as bad as a mildly tweaked muscle. I'm *_very_* glad you didn't have to go through that guilt. I hope that whatever it is you have chosen or been forced to do, it has been with the knowledge that you do it with love that your dog really understands. They _know_ we love them, I have no doubt. If not, they wouldn't trust us the way they do. And they give back every ounce of love they get and more. I shan't probe for details, but I am sending you my love and empathy because by god I know what you are/have been going through. ❤
@@ensign_poo When a painful front leg hits the ground, the head will lift to help shift weight to the rear. When a painful rear leg hits the ground, the head will drop to help shift the weight forward.
I love how when you walked up to her, she gave you some serious side-eye. But once you started petting her, she visibly relaxed. It's almost like you know your way around these animals!
Im an American with no connection to any farm but I’m in Costa Rica and was just talking to a Canadian farmer about trimming his dairy cows, lol. Thanks GP for giving me enough info to have an intelligent conversation with a real farmer. Your talents are universal!!!
Cows all around the world are mowing in delight I think that's awesome that you could have a cow hoof conversation I think that's awesome in Costa Rica wow. That makes you a world traveler, with cow conversation info..rock on 😅
Here I am in Canada, drinking my morning coffee, watching a guy in Scotland fix cows feet. I really need to re evaluate my life choices. But seriously, good video's.
As someone with arthritis in her feet, I think I have a clue what she might be going through, especially when it really flares up in the cold or hot weather. It makes my feet swell too. I'll bet she's incredibly grateful in her own way, because if anyone could stop my pain in a few minutes, I'd love them for life!
for me it is everytime the weather changes and I cant use painkillers anymore. I always tell myself pain is only in my mind and it is not going to stop me from having fun. merry christmas from another with sore feet.
I always get so much relief watching this channel. My favorite channel. Seeing Graeme help another creature out of pain means a lot. Sending Graeme, Mrs HoofGP, Craigie Boy and Kevin and their families a happy Christmas.❤
I never thought I would enjoy watching hoof trimming. We can see how much you care about your "Patients" and you explain so well, so even I can understand it! Thank you Dr Graeme!
Bless I bet she's so grateful you come in today, people don't realise but animals show us so many subtle hints of pain before they show symptoms like limping after all limping like she was is a signal to predators that she is weaker than others in the herd the last thing a prey animal wants especially when in pain. Thanks for all your awesome work, hope the weather doesn't get too bad for you all in Scotland 🤞
She was giving you such side-eye at the end there, and you could see her visibly relax and feel happier as you gave her pets. Well done on another happy cow. Love watching your videos, because you can see how much the three of you care about your "ladies".
I adore how you explain what these poor cows feel with these issues because it shows your kind heart and teaches everyone to just be a little more sympathetic and understanding. Helping better humans by bettering cows 😂
I am always astonished at how much you care and all you do to help these beautiful field puppies. Has there ever been a time where you have unearthed a problem and your heart drops? Not because you can’t help but because of the suffering the animal has endured.
It really hit home when you said the hoof was the biggest problem in the world to the cow. We go through life dealing with our daily issues but we don't think about things from the perspective of animals who have pretty basic lives.
I love watching the cow completely relax when you go up to pet her! She becomes so instantly calm and almost sleepy. Cracks me up and warms my heart every time. They know that you are a good person who is just trying to help and you can see their appreciation and trust.
Graeme, I don’t really know how to express my gratitude for your kindness, care, and support of all the cows that you care for. You can tell that you are educated about your craft, but you definitely have a definite natural intelligence for your craft. On top of all of that, you have the ability to take complex medical issues , and deliver it to us in a way that that we(your viewers) can utilize the information into our own lives. You are the best and will always be my favorite person on RU-vid ❤
You're a saint, Brother Graeme. I wish you, your family, your colleagues and friends a very Merry Christmas. Thanks for helping out our wonderful critters!!
I love how these cows are not only taken care of so well, but you speak about them so lovingly. It's beautiful. Thank you for doing what you all do so well
I have plantar fasciitis, so my heart goes out to the cows you help. It is a blessing that you do the work you do, I love watching the good you create!
My friend, your videos have given me such satisfaction and joy. I know it may sound strange saying that. My life has been nothing less than pure chaos and pain for decades now. But Seeing the work you and your partner do brings peace to my heart. Thank you for what you do.
You are one amazing hoof repairman. You know what I mean I hope. The cattle you treat can feel your care and compassion. I think it takes a special crew to do these cows justice. Thank you so much for your dedication and for sharing all the posts and the stories. Quite remarkable. ❤
I used to take care of horses and Murray Grey cows for a small breeding facility but now just have my own horses at home. I apprenticed twice to trim horses, (shod and then barefoot). If only i had learned about cows' hooves years ago. I'm in Texas, USA, and I love watching your work! Awsome storyteller and teacher. And thanks for putting me onto your brother's channel about Scotland. I'm hoping to come back someday
I like how he's so humble and he never takes full credit for anything, and that's TRUE GREATNESS that's something you don't see everyday , especially in the US! But side note I can't help myself every time I see the Cow utters, just imagine holding out a big bowl of cereal and asking the cow, "can I have some milk please!!!!!
✍Hello Graeme and The Guys... Good to see you and sharing with us this evening how you're going to help this poor cow and give her some relief. I wish All of You and Your Families a Very Merry Christmas 🎅🎄 and a Prosperous and Blessed New Year 2024🍷🎉God Bless LuvYa! Bye from your digital pen pal from Ohio USA 🇺🇸
Aw Graeme, please don’t put yourself down! I know I and many others have learned a LOT from you, and even if you turn out to be wrong about something you still use it as a teaching moment and take it with grace. Nothing stupid about that!
I always think I'd find this fun to do as a job, then I remember that the sense of smell exists. Takes real special kind of person to just brush that aside and get to work.
Graeme, you make my day every time I watch your videos! I am positive you make that cow's day as well because she will have less pain and the healing process with commence. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Graeme, You teach me plus so many others about cows 🐄 hooves. Things to look for. You seem to really care. I love to watch your videos. God Bless and Yours❤❤
What a great Christmas present you gave that cow! I think pain relief is one of the greatest presents you can give, Go Santa GP! Merry Christmas y'all! 🌲 God Bless!
Great video, i hope that the hoof gp team, and the hoof gp family all have a wonderful holidays. Thank for all your positive uplifting content through the years. Your a true gift to the cows that you trim, with your caring nature😊😊😊
I can honestly say that you are doing the Lord’s work!! Been a fan for a long time…I come from the mountains of NC in USA…been working as a cop for the last ten years and what you do is out of pure love for these cows…extremely admirable!! Keep up the good work my friend!!
I always get so much joy watching this channel. top 5 favourite channel. Seeing Graeme help the animals out of pain means a lot. Sending you Graeme, Mrs Hoof GP, Craigie-Boy and Kevin and their families a happy Christmas time and lovely new year
I love this channel. I started watching it for the ASMR effect of the hoof/feet/horn trimming process. Now, I know more about cow hooves and feet than I ever imagined. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Happy Holidays, Graeme! And to Craigie-Boy, Kevin, Mrs. HGP, and all the rest of the crew. My son insists on watching your channel every night. He delights especially in seeing “the gross stuff.” So while it’s not good to see any animal suffer, know that your job is entertaining to one seven year old boy over here in the States.
so it's like walking around with one high heel on to supplement the sore one or perhaps just a medical boot to ease it while it heals... great job graeme! say HI to the wife and kids!
We don't have cattle, but get to enjoy our neighbors. They're beautiful animals, and since our back door looks out into their pasture, we get visits at the fence frequently. My mom enjoys them very much as she grew up on a farm on an island in the Pacific Northwest. Since she has Alzheimers, it's always nice to see her watching the cows.
Phew - just when my head was about to explode due to the insanity that is the internet - your video popped up in my feed - because I'm a subscriber... Thank you for replacing my rage with the calm that is "The Hoof GP". And thank you from the cow now more comfortable due to your ministrations. Merry Christmas to the whole herd of you for bringing "pleasant and wholesome" to a whole lot of us who don't get to experience that much these days. I live alone, still rurally, my only external contact the internet - a pretty bleak and mostly ugly scenario. So, coming from a horsey background I can connect with your care for an animal's feet. You cheery demeanour and obvious concern for animal welfare and comfort brings me hope in this dark Worldwide self-centered spiral into goodness knows what... Just glad I'm a childless OAP. (A small mercy as I need a ton of help on my acre.) Cheers. (Little old lady in rural Mayo.)
That’s funny that you worry about looking stupid to us, Graham, but I’ve been watching you guys for a while now and the level of your professionalism & experience shows the concern/care for the animals is paramount & the level of commitment to your work & family shows how important they are to you & to do your job right & always to the best of your abilities, so my friend you could never truly look stupid to me 😊 cheers from USA
I've a couple questions for you. First some background, here in the USA, we milk 365 days a year. I talked with a dairyman in Irelad, and he said they dry off all their cattle of durung the winter and then start back milking in the spring after their cows delivered their offspring. How do the Scottish dairymen manage their cattle? Do the milk 365 like the US, or do they manage their cattle like the Irish? Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and thanks for taking the time to answer my questions! 😊
Count down to Christmas is on! Happy Christmas and thank you for all the wonderful, informative posts this year, which I watched as my husband sat in his easy chair with his mug of coffee! 😂🤣😂
It’s 28.3 degrees Celsius in Western Australia at 8 at night. So yes I’m warm. But my husband is used to me watching your videos…. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎉
I’ve had foot and ankle problems for the past year, due to an injury, so I really feel for these bovine gals. The way she looked at you, Graeme, when you were rubbing her head was just adorable. I think she knew you were there to help her. A very Merry Christmas to you, Ashley, the kids, dogs, cats, Craig, and everyone at the Hoof GP. 👍🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻🇨🇦
Hi Graham, my son Cole is one of your biggest fans and loves watching your channel before bed. He loves answering your questions and seems to get his fair share correct. 👍😊
Your description of how everything is held together reminds me of the Mythbusters episode where they wove two phonebook together and even two tanks almost couldn't pull them apart.
