Your videos have distracted me for hours in hospital waiting rooms whilst my daughter went through multiple brain surgeries and for the last 4 years since her passing hearing you say how much you love your job and what you do is amazing and i just want to let you know youre not only helping farmers in Scotland and their beautiful animals but also helping a forever grieving father all the way down in South Australia get through the quiet times 1 hoof trim at a time. I appreciate you more then you will ever know GP thank you ❤ i hope you do see this message
Be blessed and know that you are loved 💙!!!
Will think of you to, now when i watch, wishes & prayers for your solace
I am sorry for your loss. I truly hope you find joy and happiness in your future.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Take care, from Sydney NSW❤
I am sorry for your loss. I hope you are comforted .
Harriet looks so sweet! Every time you showed her face I wanted to just reach through the screen and pet her!! ❤️🐄😍
Me, too!
And me
So did I she had such a gentle expression and such pretty eyes ♥️♥️
Same here, she seems so patient and sweet. I just wanted to give her a big hug! I can see why she is a favorite❤
Moooooooooooo
Harriet's owner deserves a shout out for loving his herd! Well done to him or her and you for helping this old dolly live her best life!
She is a sweet face!!!
I love that Harriet pretty much put herself in the crush.
It was almost like she knew what was coming and was excited to get to it because she knew the result was going to make her more comfortable.
Sweet cow, great job Graeme!
Cows that old are often creatures of habit. She is a suckler cow so not like a dairy cow but either sort of cow get used to the routine of life and I think its almost a comfort to them. I used to look after cattle and they get used to their owner, the colour of their clothing, the way they walk. If a different person arrives in the field it disrupts them. Its odd how sensitive they are to little things.
I think a lot of them know they'll come out feeling better!!
I noticed that too she was like “ ok I’m ready for my pedicure now let’s do this “ she walked right in the crush .
I’m 14 I live in the country side but have nothing to do with cows or farms but these videos bring me comfort on a bad day
Good for you 👍 👏 🙌
Never did I imagine, that one day, I would find so much peace and comfort watching a total stranger in another country, tending to cow’s hooves. Sometimes my family members catch me watching these and they always say “What are you watching?!” There’s just something about watching you work that sits right in my soul. It’s such an honorable profession to give these sentient beings relief from pain. Cows are just big joyful toddlers, and I am so happy for them when they leave the crush lighter in spirit. And, with the understanding that you were doing your best to help them feel better. I used to work with a middle school girl that had autism. There was a dairy farm next to her house, and she always wanted to walk over and visit the cows. They would always approach her and let her pet them. It was almost as if they had their own secret understanding. Those cows would never let me get near them, not to mention touch them. I hope there is a place in heaven for cows, because they are such gentle and tolerant beings. They endure so much and mostly for the benefit of humans. If there is a cow heaven, I’m sure there is a picture of you there, and all of the kind farmers who did their best to give them some kind of peace. Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge. You make the world a better place. God bless xo
If we had people like you running the country treating people like you treat the cows, with love, the world would be a much better place.
Harriet is a very calm soul, shes just in the crush, chillin. I usually watch on my cell phone but today Im on my computer and my goodness, what a difference! The breathtaking beauty of the countryside the personality in everyones faces, its quite the change for the better. Wishing you all and your familes the best!
At the end Harriet looked quite proud saying,"look at my new pedicure guys!" Another cow well taken care of.
💚 🐄 🧡 🐂 💚
You are fortunate enough to live in a exquisitely beautiful country !
Thank you for doing the cows on the smaller farms so their lives can be better!
Thank you for reading the comments. I watch ever new video and am catching up on the older ones. I especially like the follow up videos on cow that need multiple trims to get right. You do an amazing job with this channel. FYI, I’ve stolen your Do More ethos!
OMG just realized how long I've been watching the HoofGP, with that trip down memory lane. His Scottish charm got me hooked on cows feet, even though I never had any interest in them or could ever have dreamt that I would. Well done Graham, you truly deserve all the good things that came your way
Harriet reminds me of Tiny, one of the cows my family owned when I was a kid. She produced and raised very fine calves for years and put up with small children sitting on her. Eventually, she retired and became our pet cow. She lived to be a very old cow.
Thank you for sharing that. Such a sweet story.
Harriet says, "Thanks" for fixing her feet. Her feet when trimmed are perfect for her. She knew that you were going to help her and walked right in. I have to say that the countryside that you drive through is absolutely breath taking.
Oh yeah, beautiful country. I hope to get there some day!❤
Just before you said how much you love your job and why, I was asking myself why it is so interesting to watch videos of cow hooves getting cut?
And my answer was: because you love what you do, and you are transporting this love, the passion, the respect, the conciousness of your ability to help sore cows, the experience, the fun, the dirt and everything else in every video.
Thank you very much for being as lovely as you are! ❤
I have seen this lady before while binge watching 👀. You sure have a soft spot for her.
I only started watching your videos in April, it was also when I found out that I had lung cancer, which after a Lobectomy I'm now all clear. Your soothing tone and compassion for the cattle sure soothed anxiety for me. I also enjoy the banter and coffee discussions. ☕️
Fae the banks of the Bonnie Doon 🏴
Many thanks and much respect 🙏
I'm glad you're doing good.
I hope you are well and continue to improve . ❤
Very glad to hear you're all clear :)
I know exactly what you mean by „soothing anxiety“. I wish you all the best. Greetings from Germany.
Blessings to you in your recovery!
Question! I know horse hoof trimmers are called “farriers”. Is there a different name for cow hoof trimming or is it all just “farrier?”
Harriet has the sweetest look in her eyes!🐄❤️ I want to pet her and hug her!!
When you finished and Harriet was strutting her stuff, it appeared to me that her hoofs are different from what you usually do. She is beautiful!. Thanks
No lie, I love it how we all are getting to know the cows by their names/numbers on sight.
Harriet is beautiful and she's one of the very few cows with a name instead of a number.
There's dignity in having a name
💚
Harriet is so calm. You can tell that she knows that this experience will result in her feeling better. I hadn't realized that laminitis would result in permanent hoof issues. Thank you for your explanations. I am constantly learning new things from watching your channel.
Another great video! Thank you for being a bright spot on the internet. Your videos are so lovely, beautifully shot, full of kindness and love. Hope you and yours are well. If you ever want to do another video on mental health stuff, I'd love it. I struggle with depression, and have followed your channel for a while. A while back you mentioned your journey with mental health, and it really helped me somehow. Knowing someone I admire and aspire to be like sometimes struggles with mental health is reassuring somehow. Makes me feel a little less alone in this increasingly stressful world.
I hate to think what would happen to these cows if they didn't have concerned farmers and dedicated, knowledgeable people such as yourself and your team caring for these animals who give so much towards sustaining human life and life on this earth in general.
What a amazing job you have I can't stop watching you videos
She is ready for her pedicure, thank you Grahame. (I thought my toes were bad!)
Kidding aside, it’s a testament to your work that she trusts you so completely. Please know that your teaching is working! Me a few months ago-“Cows feet have to be trimmed???” Me now-“Ach looks like white line disease” **shakes head** 😊
Yep! Same here!
They seem genuinely happy to see you when it's a cow you've taken care of before. When they walk away it shows their appreciation by how they walk.
Thank you for the concise explanations about our comments. I've been watching for about 6 years now and I'm always blessed by every video.
Thank you for showing Harriet again. She has such beautiful eyes.
Harriet looks tired. I want to give her love. She fully trusts you. What a beautiful friendship 💕
You are such a kind man.I wish I could spend some time hugging HARRIET.Animals are so good to heal Depression.....
Thank you for this beautiful video. The views, the music, the story! What a great idea to include an old video of Harriet 😊
I started watching your channel in 2019 to help me through the grief of losing my son(2016). We shared a love of animals. Besides the wonderful content, I love the music and the lyrics they are so different and uplifting. Someday I will try to find them, until then, I have you!
Also, I grew up in ranch country (Northern Nevada). Harriet's face is so sweet! Thank you!!
Houses on the Hill "Fall into You"
I lost a daughter in 2017. Much love, big hugs and healing prayers to you.
Thank you so much. A child's passing is a heartbreaking loss. I am sorry for yours. Hugs to you as well.
@@colleenlogan5211 I have a separate comment with a few other songs in the video. Much love 🤗💜
My two year old son and I cuddle and watch one of your videos every night before bed. Thank you for teaching us so much, God bless y’all 🤍
It is very heartwarming to hear how old Harriet is ❤❤❤
I hope she will reach the end of her normal lifespan and gets the chance to enjoy life as a senior. 🤞
Harriet stood so patiently while her feet were done as if she knew she would feel much better after her trim a job well done for such a sweet lil lassie ..
Fantastic video. Wonderful countryside, great camera/ drone work, what a worthwhile and fulfilling job you have.
OK, so now I know a giraffe, seal AND a cow all with "my name!" 😂❤
Did you spot the heart on the hoof?? At 10:40 when GP said "I love this job..." there was a slightly obscure heart on the inside front claw! 😂❤
In a world that has so much wrong with it these days, it’s nice to have a few minutes of positivity, caring, and sweetness. Thank you for sharing your job with us.
It's healing after growing up on a farm, the nicest person I knew was our ferrier Silva. As a kid he was my hero because he was just the calmest most gentle man ❤ love you Silva, hope life's been good to you
I can see why Harriet is a favourite of yours - she is so sweet!
Job Well Done, Graeme.
Thank you for always being so positive and helping animals. It’s one of the best parts of my day. All our jobs should be like yours. So much value and purpose.
** Thank you so much for bringing back the intro! I love seeing snip its of your beautiful country. Makes me smile. Its the little things that make us happy. Awesome to see Harriet again. Its been a while since you've had her on. 😁
Love the new beginning Graeme and that you kept that song I love it ❤❤❤
I love when the videos open with this song
Only channel where you can watch the numbers just rolling up nonstop as soon as Graeme uploads.😊
I love that you all love what you do. Not everyone is that lucky and to live and work where you do is a bonus. On top of that you are making a difference one cow at a time. I'm in Australia and have lived in a rural area my entire life and i had no idea that cattle needed routine trimming. Maybe the climate makes a difference here 🤔 whatever, I just enjoy the videos.
That was truly an amazing outcome. She may have some issues with hooves, but her personality is so calm and sweet. I can see why you have a soft spot for her.
Harriet is clearly very comfortable in that crush, and it's really sweet to see a cow with a proper name that you have a long term relationship with ❤
The people who did this 100 years ago couldn’t imagine someone reaching your level of fame. The internet is a good place sometimes.
My voice teacher used to say, “Sometimes less is more. And knowing when to apply that is wisdom.”
I wonder if Hariet knows how truly blessed and lucky she is to live where she is cared for completely and how beautiful and serene the countryside is around her.
Harriet looks so warm and fuzzy.
I love that she’s called Harriet..she looks like a Harriet ❤
I can’t believe I stumbled across your videos two years ago, while trying to stay up working overnight, and I’m still addicted to how you take care of cows feet! 🐄🐮 Happy New year! GP all the way from Washington DC! 💯
Whenever I'm sad, i watch your videos to feel better. Thank you and your crew for caring for these sweet animals.
It's been a few months since I've watched your videos, just because of how TH-cam sucks you in different directions over time. I've had so many major life changes in that period of time. Coming back and watching this video brought me to tears - seeing you trim hooves and make such a difference in the lives of these cows, surrounded by the beautiful landscape, is such a strong reminder to me of how beautiful life and the world can be, no matter how much changes. Thank you always for sharing your adventures with us. ❤
No Thank You Graeme for sharing these wonderful videos with us❤
Thank you for these videos. Recently I saw something that described the dairy industry as "torturing" cows. Your perspective shows that the cows are actually treated well.
Big differences between countries I've seen.
No, not always.
I should have assumed that, I suppose.🙁
Harriet is so beautiful 💖
One of the many things i love about whatching your vids is that your never affraid to admit that you still learn new things, so many people in your position with all your experiance and knowledge would claim to be experts but you dont and that means that you will always have your heart and mind open to learning which is amazing 💖💖💖 thanks to all tye HGP team for this and all ypur other vids 😊😊😊
I’m 64 and retired and living in Aruba my husband and I are from MA in the USA …. I love watching this and hearing your Scottish voices and the calming music you play… my husband asked why are you watching this and I said because it is interesting and I am originally from Maine where there are farms and cows and I am interested …. Also I love to see your wife and boys and all your animals and glad Stevie is ok 👍🏼 so that’s why I watch…. Thanks to you and your family enjoy life and stay happy and heaLthy always🙏🏼🫶🏼😇👍🏼💜🫶🏼😇👍🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
Her feet are really interesting. Horses get laminitis too. Only with them, over time they become severely lame and extremely painful. Owners can work with a farrier to shoe horses to help find relief from founder. But a lot of foundered horses are put down. I’m thankful you can help this beautiful lady with her condition and see to her comfort. She’s such a gorgeous girl. Great job!!
Laminitis can be managed with diet as it’s often caused by excess sugar - ponies prone to laminitis were bred to manage on poor, rough moorland or hills and cannot cope with lush Green spring grass in managed fields!
Harriet was looking quite happy after that trim. Shes a beauty❣ Btw, you haven't aged a bit in 5 years. That just means you're happy. More smiles keeps a person looking young. 😊xx
Harriet has my heart too ❤ what a truly beautiful girl❤ Graeme, you love your job and it shows and what's more, it inspired me to find a career that makes me fulfilled. We know you, the crew, the family have tough work, make sacrifices but know we all appreciate it. It's more than hoof trimming, you show us much more....❤ To be good genuine humans to each other and animals, in all forms ❤
👍👍👍
Thank you for your videos Hoof GP!!! I Every time I watch I am reminded when you find you passion you bring light into the world!
We watch you videos together not just to learn but to witness the compassion and healing you provide. :)
Thank you for the new video. Since you read the comments I decided to tell you that I watched this during my lunch break at work. I was spinning around dancing to the music and it really brightened my day.
Hello from the USA 😊. I watch a lot of animal videos. Sometimes I want a cow even though I live in the City. Not. Admire all the work and care you give. ❤blessings, D😊
Absolutely love your passion for helping the cows and people. I know that feeling too when I worked with the special needs students for many years. I am retired now and think of the days I loved my job. Keep that passion as long as you can.
Love your high-flying drone scenes.
Love the shots of Harriet's sweet face and eyelashes.
Love your expressed humane consideration for animals, those sentient little souls.
😻🐄🐄🐄
All I wanted to do was love on Harret! Was surprised you didn't pet her. As always you make me proud of the way you treat the cows you work on. You can tell you love your job.
I know that he had to have petted her, they just did not film it!
@@grannyjenny8603 He has got to be petting these cows. He loves them too much not to be petting them.
There is something very satisfying in watching your precision with the trimmer!
My 10 year old daughter's favorite animal is a cow. My daughter and I have become big fans and love to snuggle up together and watch you take such good care of her favorite animals. "Fall Into You" has become 'our song'. We love your humor and excellent explanations. Your drone shots make us want to visit Scotland. Take care. -Mike and Ellie.
Raised on a farm in Indiana of the USA. Now live in the city. Your videos are the best part of my day. Reminds me of younger days.
Thank you for bringing us along ❤❤❤❤
I can see the real passion you have for the job. Thanks I may have a happy new year. I’ll keep watching.
The care you and the farmers give to these cows is heartwarming
I love how chilled she is! Just wanders into the crush, like she knows she’s going to be more comfortable after. She has such a sweet face too 🥰
I love watching these videos. They help me relax and give me so much piece of mind throughout my day. I watch at least one a day and sometimes just press play all and watch/listen to the playlist of them for awhile. Thank you so much for what you do
It’s amazing how much the crush tech has changed over the years. Congrats on your success.🎉🎉 And thank you for keeping these beautiful animals happy and comfortable.
Sometimes, the enemy of good is better. Harriet is a great example of this, her sweet face says it all. Thanks to you and your team!
Really enjoyed seeing an older setup with a beautiful old barn, etc. New barns are okay, but the old ones have my heart. ❤❤❤
Thank you for being so passionate about the welfare these gorgeous creatures.
To you keep up the wonderful work..... (and the vids!! 😎👍)
How time flies when you enjoy watching the hoof GP. I remember this farm an you doing this trim .
Look at her beautiful old face. She looks kind and with a happy expression. I love watching your videos. I find them relaxing and fun. Also I really enjoy the music you pick.
I absolutely love your videos so dearly! I’ve never worked with cows, never lived on a farm, never had anything whatsoever to do with hoof trimming, but I have a special place in my heart for you and your channel. I want you to know that because you reach a vast audience of people, hoof trimming involvement or not, and you’re doing a super cool thing here. If you gave my little daughter, Lorna from Michigan, a shoutout in one of your videos, I know it would make her entire year. Thank you again for everything you do, we love you!
Thank you for helping them!You are awesome!
She is beautiful and I love the name Harriet thank you for taking care of her you are an angel ❤
Harriet is such a lovely lady! Thank you for making her comfortable!✌🏻🫶🏻
For someone who is 'still learning', you are very knowledgeable at what you do. The care and gentleness you give each animal is endearing, thank you!
You know you’ve been watching too much HoofGP when you start dreaming about it! It was nice to meet you (in my dream) Graeme! 🤣😅
Respect to everyone who is a hoof trimmer
The hooves look so pretty when done with. Cows are amazing animals and I really love them! Thank you for taking care of them.
Love, Love, Love all of it. The educational component. The banter between you and Kevin & Craig. The video and music quality. The kindness to these beautiful creatures. The skills that gives you the opportunity to make all of our day better. Graciously inviting us along to be part of your day. Not sure why my husband’s name shows up, but it’s me watching. Karine. A 52 y old Canadian retired RN. Also, I’m Waiting for my HGP travel coffee mug 😍. We are doing renovations and painting to our backyard and deck. My husband commented that I must be going into Hoof GP withdrawal. Darn it, he was right. 😂. I am so happy when I point out a block is going to be needed before you say it! Keep trimming fine sir!
I'm glad that you show her year after year she number one is a beautiful heifer and number two it's nice to know that she's around
I love learning about your job and how passionate you are! I will be visiting Bonny Scotland from the US this coming June! ( Edinburgh area). Thank you for bringing to light this important part of farming!!
Harriet is a sweety glad you met her 💞🙏💕🥰 and she met you
I’ve been following you for a few years now. I love watching what you do, the beautiful cows you trim, the relationship with your family and the different locations and yet it couldn’t be further from my world.
Thank you Graeme for the expansion you’ve given my mind and the joy it brings following your work journey. It’s appreciated. I know it’s time consuming filming and editing and you & Mrs HGP have busy lives. I’m glad you read your comments, it must be rewarding knowing it’s worth it. Liz ❣️ P.S Thanks Mrs HGP for gorgeous scenery shots, smooth editing and beautiful music 🥰
Harriet looks to be saying “aaah, it’s time for my pedicure!” She’s obviously not objecting at all.
Absolutely love it when they come out of the crush and they look back as to say thank you
It is truly nice to know that you read your comments,"fans"
I always wondered because your following has really grown.
I remember when you had time to respond.
My love was Quarter Horses, many years holding a horse for the farrier and watching how he trimed,made corrections.
We showed our horses so they were done every 6 weeks.
Had a foundered horse colt bought him that way, being new to the industry we didnt realize it , but almost became experts lol lol after trying to keep him sound and to the shows lol, my husband and i could spot a founded horse a mile away lol lol but learned sorta of the hard way lol.
He did become an AQHA Champion through hard work keeping him sound and to the shows
I laugh because it was our start in the industry and we learned alot "the hard way" right from the get go lol.
Love your channel your fantastic humor, love of your work and family .
Thank you from a great gramna 82 years young, who loves what you do.
Bless you and your beautiful family🙏🕊🙏
From USA 🇺🇸
If you read this, i forgot your brother's first name,Who is the artist.
Art is my secound love.I worked in some really Native American galleries when i lived in New Mexico.
Your brothers art reminds me of some of the Natives work.
I don’t comment on videos. But I am always looking to find your videos. They always put a smile on my face. Thank you for all you do. Not just for the cattle, but for bringing us this amazing content. One day the Mrs and I are going to make it there. We want to see Scotland and all its beauty. That’s for sharing the sights as well.
