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.
Graeme, My mother passed away today from Cancer. I wanted to let you know you brought her joy and entertainment her final months of life, as she was (as am I) a huge fan of yours. God Bless.
@@dbeaumontresident847 I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. I lost my mom 5 years ago. So, im sending you a virtual hug. May your mother be held in the light. Ill keep you and your mom in my heart tonight.
I think I needed to hear that... Things are decent in my general life right now? But I'm also in a long-term long-distance relationship and haven't seen my partner since October 2019, me living in Sweden and he in the US. And we don't know when we can see each other again. And that last time was really stressed and rough. So it just. Hurts a lot. I miss him so much my eyes are constantly bloodshot from holding back tears.
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.
Very well put 😁 and hey my ancestors were from thier so I think I long for home and that's why I love the Scott's and the homeland "Scotland" so much the Scott's hv a different way of seeing things and feeling things "if that makes any sence" than other folks and they're so kind as well 🤷♂️😁 i love this channel thanks for allowing me "thru ur vids" too feel at home 🤷♂️😁🙏✊
I’m an artist struggling with depression and anxiety, and hell this is my first time seeing your videos as TH-cam 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.
Not an artist. A mom and a wife. I have 4 little ones. I’ve never in my life had anxiety until I hit 30 and now it’s a real part of my day. Some days are totally fine, and other days are difficult to get through. Today was difficult. The only way I get through is knowing I’m not gonna feel like this forever. I hope you have help. I’m thinking about you. Hang in there.
Do you have other skills , what type of artist, anxiety seems like its a job requirement . Doesn't it rely on rich people wanting to buy art? I have never had extra money to spend on art or home decorations .
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.
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❣️
In cancer hospital in the middle of the night the nurse comes in what are watching ......... Cows and their hoofs. Her reply was what colour would your crush be?
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.
Father, thank you for giving us these moments of distraction from our challenges. Please hold close Susan as she faces this disease. Be with her family as they also deal with it from the perspective of a loved one. Your already around this corner for them for that we are so grateful. In the priceless name of Yahweh. Amen
I’m in the same boat, Susan. Just discharged from hospital again. The videos help. I am a farmer’s daughter and wife, but have never seen hoof trimmers in action. Cattle are rarely shedded in Australia. Maybe that’s why. Anyone know?
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!
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.
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.
Congratulations on 48yrs. We were married 1972. Best years of my life. Lost her 4yrs 5mths ago. Kinda special to be in the 45+yrs still together hey! Meanwhile I try to be good so she may have me back when “ the meek shall possess the earth and live forever on it”. I avoid the violence and grief by limiting tv and go to bed early with TH-cam. Added this delightful man and his cows to a Missouri saw miller, New York Andrew Camarata, a welder, 2machinists, 3 boat builders, etc etc......Cow GP helps keep me sane.....
@@peternicholsonu6090 I’m sorry to hear of your loss but if you’re a believer, you will be with her again! We’ve only been married 37 years. I can’t imagine losing him.
Load up on vitamins, especially A & D, zinc, calcium, magnesium, & turmeric. I’m 60 with COPD so I’m at risk. I’m also a professional driver so my exposure is high. I’ve had the sniffles twice this last year but no BeerBug so far.
@Patricia After not being able to see him for a year, I'm afraid that my teenage grandson will have to tolerate me smothering him with giant hugs. That's what Grandmothers do, right? Everyone, please stay safe. Follow the guidelines set forth in your country. Get your vaccines ASAP. Best wishes to all of you.
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 had Stage 2 breast cancer in 2019. I went through chemotherapy and a single mastectomy. I know how you feel. It's been 2 years since chemo and 1 for mastectomy. These videos brighten my day.
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.
Congratulations! My uncle passed away from colo-rectal cancer nearly a decade ago, it's a nasty cancer. I think about him frequently. So glad to hear from a survivor ❤️ I hope you continue to do well!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@janealder4877 not sure where the commenter is from but in the US it all depends on the employer; if they want to provide it, and for how long they want to provide it. A few states may require some limited sick pay, but its not that common. Only really good jobs, union jobs and some government jobs have good benefits. Does the gov't pay out sick pay in Australia or do they require the employer to?
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. ☀️
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.
A thousand blessings on you and your husband, Belaayya. May the coming months bring continued healing and renewal. Enjoy your time together - life's a really unpredictable adventure - you two might just be the ones who slide, tires squealing over life's finish line laughing and saying, "Oooooh, that was a helluva ride!"
Stay strong and never be afraid to recreate a memory as well as creating new ones. My partner drives interstate so know the risks (already rolled his truck and ended up with a broken back). Thankfully the time together made us both stronger.
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
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.
@@melissalowrey3459 Thank you for your kindness, Melissa. Unfortunately, my love passed away two months ago. I can't begin to explain how life without him feels except to say it's just wrong. I do appreciate your good wishes, though.
@@LQOTW i’m so sorry for your loss, although i don’t know you i know this world is full of challenges but don’t give up and live a life he would be proud of i know he’s looking over you and will always be with you! god bless and hope life gets a bit easier!
@@maxbrown4154 Oh, my! Thank you for your message of hope - it comes at a perfect time. I shall endeavor to remember your words, especially when 'adulting' seems too difficult to endure.
@@LQOTW I wish you all the best my heart go out to both of you, I bet your husband is so proud of you and is watching over you smiling. Your amazing keep it up ❤
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 :-).
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 !
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.
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
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 !😁
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
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.🥰🥰
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.
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.
What’s really gross is the cow shit on the bottom of his steering wheel is stuck from how the steering wheel rubs on his legs 🤢🤮 it’s a work truck and I get it but yuck 😝
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 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!
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’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.”
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.
Thank you Vivian and Lisa. It's really awesome to see how GP seems to attract like-minded individuals, people who are genuine and care about easing one's pain. It's things like this that helps renew my faith in humanity. :)
@@sariahthomas5915 Aww,you're welcome, hang in there. I have 2 dogs that I adopted and 1 cat that was a stray now and have lost lots more by natural death or it was time for them to cross the rainbow bridge ❤🙏
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 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'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'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.
Prayers. For. u. I'm an intercessor. So. I can. Stand. With you. For. Recovery. Any request. I see here. Are. That. God. Sees. He hears. And answers. Lord. Bless. You. Today
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 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
That’s a big step on a long journey, and I’m glad you’ve made the decision for yourself to take it. I finished my first round of trauma counselling at the start of the year myself. I’m sleeping a lot better, managing to leave the house on my own most days, even making positive plans for the future. I hope you’re able to get a lot out of your sessions.
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.
They get murdered at the end, they live a short life walking in their own shit, just do you can eat them and turn them into shit. What a horrible existence cows live.
@@xenogamerx they are delicious!! I love a nice, juicy grilled rare rib eye steak. Or barbecued ribs (beef or pork) slathered in sauce. Or a leftover meatloaf sandwich for lunch. Hot and crispy fried chicken, bacon and eggs. Grilled salmon is top notch, and even garlic buttered snails aren't bad. After all, even in the bible we are told it's ok to eat meat. And who am I to deny the word of God? On the flip side I also enjoy Earth Grown soy patties, they do taste like chicken! And they are some nice beefless crumbles out there. Daisy makes a delicious creamy cheese sauce that I couldn't tell wasn't real. I am open to both sides, and while I am willing to substitute some vegan options in exchange for meat I will not allow other peoples' opinions to change my mind on what I should or should not consume.
I think one of the things I enjoy most about you is not just that you obviously love what you do but that you're always extolling the beauty of your surroundings: your little corner of the world, the countryside and Scotland. I think that's so lovely that you haven't lost the ability to see the beauty around you regardless of the weather or the season. It's an infectious attitude. People can't help but start to look around at the beauty that surrounds them. The beauty might look different than where you are but there is beauty to be found everywhere. 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!
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?
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.
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.
Dear TH-cam 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 TH-cam. 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.
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.
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. :)
Similar experiences myself. If only I had known in my youth, but at least I know now. And, I worked in prison (as an officer, not an inmate) and believe me, it could have been worse.
I am ecstatic for you. It’s nice to find out why TTH you dont seem like most. Im proud of you and I dot even know you. Hold your head high and feel what it wrong and work on the right.
I just finished Dhemo and Radiation from anal cancer 3 months ago. I was so sick i didn’t know how to walk and lost muscle mass plus25 lbs. I coded, but chest compressions brought me back. My brain lost some function so my speech. And memory of vocabulary was affected. Today for no reason I vomited my dinner out of the blue. I dont know why however I feel a little better. Thanks for asking how we are. 😊
So glad to hear that you are making progress. I too have had a life of struggle...always told, "you are not trying!", when no-one could try harder. Life can be great. Keep moving. Little wins are wins! I wish you many happy years...and relationships. I pray you will also find the love of your life!
I never suspected how much I would enjoy watching someone trim cows' hooves, but here I am. I've watched your videos for a couple of years, and I still enjoy them more than I ever suspected I could. Thank you for sharing your fascinating line of work with us.
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. :-)
Glad you're taking care of yourself and your transplant. Transplant success stories make me happy. (Consider reaching out to your donor family, if you haven't already. 😊😊😊)
Also this has to be one of the most wholesome and therapeutic channels I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thank you. Ive watched most of your videos by now and I really love seeing the improvements these cows are experiencing from your work.
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.
I grew up on a farm in Ohio. Was in the FFA and was on the state livestock judging team. Now live in Florida. Ended up far away from the farm and followed an IT career. I’m also am a licensed drone pilot. Love your videos
after having watched a couple of hoof and shoe resoling videos, I can say that I VASTLY appreciate your 'vet show' style commentary, letting us know what you're seeing and doing so those of us watching at home have an understanding of what you're trying to accomplish it's what sets you apart from several different channels posting farrier videos
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!
@@SupportMensMentalHealth Jacob is great...I love it when he gets a really big one...if your stressed out ...the motions he goes through settles a wired brain...so I binge watch when I need it...🤗🤗🤗
This whole channel brings back memories. I grew up tending beef cattle. That was a long time ago, many many moons have passed & now I’m a professional driver. I bring good things to y’all. I’ve been snowed in however. That grandmother of a storm has me cooling my tires in Rawlins Wyoming USA.
We have a similar saying in Western Washington. Though to "outsiders" we say that it rains all of the time. Beautiful here. If I'm to believe the rumors it is beautiful in your region also.
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 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.
Good video. People teaming up together to help animals do their best, pretty countryside, humor, descriptions of life. Thanks from all of us from around the world. Yes Craig, that is a neat cup you have and noted you were completely ready with supplies when the necrotic hoof was being worked on.
It was SO nice to see the cow again with the lost petal bone. I had searched your page looking for her but could not find her. You reminded me again why I like to watch your channel when you teared up after you trimmed her Hoof again. Yes, we saw it, or at least I did. Such a kind man your are!! ❤
Same as a lot of people on here I seem to have a lot of problems. I’m recovering from cancer, but I’ve had a mild stroke and it’s difficult for me to read anything without causing a lot of residual vertigo. I’ve been watching your videos off and on since you were in the little house in the city, and this is where I come to get calm and relaxed. I think you do as much good for the people who watch the videos as you do for the cows that are in them. I wish you continued good fortune in your life for you and your family. Thanks again for the videos… They’re Lifesavers! ❤️❤️
hey graeme! just wanted to say thank you for sharing these videos with us here on yt. it's been a huge source of easing my anxiety. life is rough but its always great to see how much you help these cute beefy boys, and i'm glad things have been working out for you so well. your hard work and optimism and closeness to your community is such an inspiration as always. hope you're having a good one today!
I love watching the procedures at work here. You're really helping these cows have a better quality of life. And watching them is just satisfying in a strange way too.
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.
Graeme, My mother passed away today from Cancer. I wanted to let you know you brought her joy and entertainment her final months of life, as she was (as am I) a huge fan of yours. God Bless.
So well said 👍 : happiness = be happy with what you have , don't take anything or anyone for granted !
@@dbeaumontresident847 I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. I lost my mom 5 years ago. So, im sending you a virtual hug.
May your mother be held in the light. Ill keep you and your mom in my heart tonight.
@@dbeaumontresident847 thinking of you and your family x
I think I needed to hear that... Things are decent in my general life right now? But I'm also in a long-term long-distance relationship and haven't seen my partner since October 2019, me living in Sweden and he in the US. And we don't know when we can see each other again. And that last time was really stressed and rough. So it just. Hurts a lot. I miss him so much my eyes are constantly bloodshot from holding back tears.
Who here can say his trimming is my therapy
His choice in music makes the entire experience a very satisfying therapy session for sure.
It is my therapy! Great show and a great host!
It's wierd. I'm in america. Never trimmed or cared to trim a hoof. I look forward to these videos. They are absolutely relaxing.
I love watching him and all of his videos mellow me out
Present for my therapy session
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.
AMEN!
Couldn’t have said it better!!! ❤️
Yes, well said.
You expected a heart on that one, didn’t you?
Kinda sorry for you…
Very well put 😁 and hey my ancestors were from thier so I think I long for home and that's why I love the Scott's and the homeland "Scotland" so much the Scott's hv a different way of seeing things and feeling things "if that makes any sence" than other folks and they're so kind as well 🤷♂️😁 i love this channel thanks for allowing me "thru ur vids" too feel at home 🤷♂️😁🙏✊
I’m an artist struggling with depression and anxiety, and hell this is my first time seeing your videos as TH-cam 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.
My heart flies out to you, Gold bless you, better times will come
Not an artist. A mom and a wife. I have 4 little ones. I’ve never in my life had anxiety until I hit 30 and now it’s a real part of my day. Some days are totally fine, and other days are difficult to get through. Today was difficult. The only way I get through is knowing I’m not gonna feel like this forever. I hope you have help. I’m thinking about you. Hang in there.
Praying for you! I agree his videos are therapeutic. I’m also an artist.
Do you have other skills , what type of artist, anxiety seems like its a job requirement . Doesn't it rely on rich people wanting to buy art? I have never had extra money to spend on art or home decorations .
@@katharinapaulina2685 What makes you think so ? Art is wonderful but not a requirement for survival.
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
Praying for you. I hope time and beautiful memories have given you peace. 🙏
Ditto.6 months ago I lost my husband to frontal temporal lobe dementia. I still cry every day. These videos help. I’m sorry for your loss.❤
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.
Best part,when they turn around,like thanks this is amazing 🤣
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❣️
Sure ya did
@@joshuabranson74 cease thine asinine palaver
In cancer hospital in the middle of the night the nurse comes in what are watching ......... Cows and their hoofs. Her reply was what colour would your crush be?
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.
Prayers for you B man, for complete healing and total restoration in Yeshua’s name.
i hope ur doing good!
I am 13 years clear of hodgkins lymphoma. Hang on in there, you will do ok and feel free to chat if it will help.
hope you get better!
Life is good, isn't it?
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
Father, thank you for giving us these moments of distraction from our challenges. Please hold close Susan as she faces this disease. Be with her family as they also deal with it from the perspective of a loved one. Your already around this corner for them for that we are so grateful. In the priceless name of Yahweh. Amen
@@heatherc2 thank you so much. Bless you and your family
I’m in the same boat, Susan. Just discharged from hospital again. The videos help. I am a farmer’s daughter and wife, but have never seen hoof trimmers in action. Cattle are rarely shedded in Australia. Maybe that’s why. Anyone know?
Peace be with you Susan. Will keep you in my thoughts.
If this is something with no cure, I hope the rest of your days are spent in comfort.
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!
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.
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.
Congratulations on 48yrs. We were married 1972. Best years of my life. Lost her 4yrs 5mths ago. Kinda special to be in the 45+yrs still together hey! Meanwhile I try to be good so she may have me back when “ the meek shall possess the earth and live forever on it”. I avoid the violence and grief by limiting tv and go to bed early with TH-cam. Added this delightful man and his cows to a Missouri saw miller, New York Andrew Camarata, a welder, 2machinists, 3 boat builders, etc etc......Cow GP helps keep me sane.....
@@peternicholsonu6090 I’m sorry to hear of your loss but if you’re a believer, you will be with her again! We’ve only been married 37 years. I can’t imagine losing him.
Load up on vitamins, especially A & D, zinc, calcium, magnesium, & turmeric. I’m 60 with COPD so I’m at risk. I’m also a professional driver so my exposure is high. I’ve had the sniffles twice this last year but no BeerBug so far.
@Patricia After not being able to see him for a year, I'm afraid that my teenage grandson will have to tolerate me smothering him with giant hugs. That's what Grandmothers do, right?
Everyone, please stay safe. Follow the guidelines set forth in your country. Get your vaccines ASAP. Best wishes to all of you.
@Lilnate94 Fletcher you are an awful person.
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!
Congratulations. All the best for a long, happy life.
Whoot whoot!
I had Stage 2 breast cancer in 2019. I went through chemotherapy and a single mastectomy. I know how you feel. It's been 2 years since chemo and 1 for mastectomy. These videos brighten my day.
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.
Congratulations on six years of living with your cancer under control! God bless you and keep you healthy!
Congratulations! My uncle passed away from colo-rectal cancer nearly a decade ago, it's a nasty cancer. I think about him frequently. So glad to hear from a survivor ❤️ I hope you continue to do well!
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.
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.
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'm going to retire July 9 and spend quality time with grandkids and my kids. Loving life
The best retirement goals ever! Enjoy your family. 💟
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.
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!
Asking from Australia? Don’t you have paid sick leave? This is old post, I am curious though. Hope you are okay now. All the best. Xxxxx
@@janealder4877 not sure where the commenter is from but in the US it all depends on the employer; if they want to provide it, and for how long they want to provide it. A few states may require some limited sick pay, but its not that common. Only really good jobs, union jobs and some government jobs have good benefits. Does the gov't pay out sick pay in Australia or do they require the employer to?
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. ☀️
My heart flies out to you, God bless you, even better times will come
It's so much nicer to watch people being real and beautiful than actors pretending to be real and beautiful.
Especially when so many celebrities can't even be bothered to pretend to be nice people for less than a few million dollars.
Your statement is most definitely truth but can I also just say that I love your pic.
This is what reality TV should be. Real people doing real jobs with joy, pride, and care. No unnecessary drama just the best part of life.
Your so right this reminds me of being on the farm my step dad if the hooves got a little bit out its takes days to do them we had a lot of cattle
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.
It sounds like you two need to stay of the roads. Final destination is hunting yous down😂😂 glad you and your husband are ok👍🏻
A thousand blessings on you and your husband, Belaayya. May the coming months bring continued healing and renewal. Enjoy your time together - life's a really unpredictable adventure - you two might just be the ones who slide, tires squealing over life's finish line laughing and saying, "Oooooh, that was a helluva ride!"
Belaayya so glad hubby is on the mend. You sound so positive, God bless you both
Stay strong together.
Stay strong and never be afraid to recreate a memory as well as creating new ones. My partner drives interstate so know the risks (already rolled his truck and ended up with a broken back). Thankfully the time together made us both stronger.
Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine myself watching and falling in love with this channel. So therapeutic thank 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
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.
Hope you both are doing well
@@melissalowrey3459 Thank you for your kindness, Melissa. Unfortunately, my love passed away two months ago. I can't begin to explain how life without him feels except to say it's just wrong. I do appreciate your good wishes, though.

@@maxbrown4154 Oh, my! Thank you for your message of hope - it comes at a perfect time. I shall endeavor to remember your words, especially when 'adulting' seems too difficult to endure.
@@LQOTW I wish you all the best my heart go out to both of you, I bet your husband is so proud of you and is watching over you smiling. Your amazing keep it up ❤
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 :-).
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 !
This is certainly a Labor of love, your job. It’s nice to see somebody who actually does care about the animals they treat..✨
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.
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
Any progress?
I think we all like this so much is he just seems so happy, loves his job, and he heals sick cows.
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!
🎉 he does Now❤
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 !😁
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
Also , haha sorry for such a long post
@@tinyt-rex9271 Absolutely NO worries. Thanks for sharing such a swweet story with us. XO
You sound like a warm hearted, strong soul! Thank you for living agape!
Love the story. I admire your dedication and career choice. Also that you obviously have a caring nature. Good luck with it all.
Which Fair? State or Laurel?
I usually roll my eyes when a TH-camr asks how their viewers are doing, but he seems genuinely to care.
I’m looking forward to some warmer weather and spend time with family & friends. Stay safe everyone, hang on in there xx
I agree and I'm happy and also sad because my nephew is 18 months old as of March 12
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.🥰🥰
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.
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.
I love how the crush is absolutely pristine and sparkling, but the inside of your pickup looks like a ploughed field! 😂
And it has a bash on the rear wing.😄
I think that happened a while ago.
Cant hose out the drivers seat at every farm 🤣
my thoughts exactly :D
What’s really gross is the cow shit on the bottom of his steering wheel is stuck from how the steering wheel rubs on his legs 🤢🤮 it’s a work truck and I get it but yuck 😝
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! 💛
Today is a gift... that's why we call it "the present". Each day I wake up is a good day!
You wake up Thank ( I am ) Father Gods Name) Every Morning For Giving You GRACE To live Another Day. 🙏
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!
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.
If someone calls me a “heifer” now, I can say “Thank You” I’m part of the “Hoof GP” herd.🤣
HA HA HA! MOO TOO!!
Me as well
@@alisonfink474 you nailed it!
Hahahaha!
I love this commit lol
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.”
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.
So sorry for your loss! Magnesium and water, lots of water for the migraine. I had them for decades. I truly feel your pain! Bless you.
I'm sorry for your loss Sariah...
Thank you Vivian and Lisa. It's really awesome to see how GP seems to attract like-minded individuals, people who are genuine and care about easing one's pain. It's things like this that helps renew my faith in humanity. :)
@@sariahthomas5915 Aww,you're welcome, hang in there. I have 2 dogs that I adopted and 1 cat that was a stray now and have lost lots more by natural death or it was time for them to cross the rainbow bridge ❤🙏
I too am a life long lover of cats and horses. I know how gut-wrenching it😂 is to have t😂o have them euthanized. I am so sorry for your❤ loss.
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 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'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!
Hang in there. God cares for you..
Hang in there! You and your family will make it thru if you can stay strong! There is a light at the end of every tunnel!
Hugs!
Hope you and your family are ok x
We don't know each other, but there are those of us who truly care 😘... praying that God will turn things around for you and your family...

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.
Praying for you and your family.
Keep going David.... I am thinking of you .... a prayer for you up to the big man ...

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 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 could watch an hour long video of only hoof trimming - even just the routine ones! Thanks again for a great video!
I just my first counselling after years of avoiding it, suppose that's a win.
How's everyone else?
That's a massive win. Glad you're on the road to recovery, and thank you for sharing.
It is a win. I’m glad you went and got started.
Well done, I hope all goes well and you get better, its definitely a big, big win xx
That’s a big step on a long journey, and I’m glad you’ve made the decision for yourself to take it. I finished my first round of trauma counselling at the start of the year myself. I’m sleeping a lot better, managing to leave the house on my own most days, even making positive plans for the future. I hope you’re able to get a lot out of your sessions.
That is huge!! You can do it! Hugs...will be thinking of you Aaron!
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.
They get murdered at the end, they live a short life walking in their own shit, just do you can eat them and turn them into shit. What a horrible existence cows live.
@@xenogamerx they are delicious!! I love a nice, juicy grilled rare rib eye steak. Or barbecued ribs (beef or pork) slathered in sauce. Or a leftover meatloaf sandwich for lunch. Hot and crispy fried chicken, bacon and eggs. Grilled salmon is top notch, and even garlic buttered snails aren't bad. After all, even in the bible we are told it's ok to eat meat. And who am I to deny the word of God?
On the flip side I also enjoy Earth Grown soy patties, they do taste like chicken! And they are some nice beefless crumbles out there. Daisy makes a delicious creamy cheese sauce that I couldn't tell wasn't real.
I am open to both sides, and while I am willing to substitute some vegan options in exchange for meat I will not allow other peoples' opinions to change my mind on what I should or should not consume.
He has a calm voice and it soothes me to hear him talk. I love that he can help the cows so much. Farming and farm animals is how I grew up.
I think one of the things I enjoy most about you is not just that you obviously love what you do but that you're always extolling the beauty of your surroundings: your little corner of the world, the countryside and Scotland. I think that's so lovely that you haven't lost the ability to see the beauty around you regardless of the weather or the season. It's an infectious attitude. People can't help but start to look around at the beauty that surrounds them. The beauty might look different than where you are but there is beauty to be found everywhere. 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!
Best of luck on full recovery! Hang in there!
@@Otingocni man I appreciate it, the constantly being winded sucks.
@@clintonmohr7734 I had it about a month ago but I was lucky to have a mild case of it.
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?
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 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.
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 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.
My life is going pretty well at the moment. Just re-met a guy I worked with 10 years ago and we really hit it off and things are going great. 💕
Dear TH-cam 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 TH-cam. 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.
Graeme, your interactions with the beasties, be they bovine or canine, makes me smile while it warms my heart. Thank you.
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.
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.
Sadly, the jabb doesn’t prevent Covid, never did. I hope you are doing well.
I’m in my 70s so everyday is a gift!
Ditto! I hear you!!
Congrats! 😁🥳
You keep on MC ... live that life .. it's worth every day xxxxx
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. :)
Hope you have more magical experiences.in
Similar experiences myself. If only I had known in my youth, but at least I know now. And, I worked in prison (as an officer, not an inmate) and believe me, it could have been worse.
I am ecstatic for you. It’s nice to find out why TTH you dont seem like most. Im proud of you and I dot even know you. Hold your head high and feel what it wrong and work on the right.
I just finished Dhemo and Radiation from anal cancer 3 months ago. I was so sick i didn’t know how to walk and lost muscle mass plus25 lbs. I coded, but chest compressions brought me back. My brain lost some function so my speech. And memory of vocabulary was affected. Today for no reason I vomited my dinner out of the blue. I dont know why however I feel a little better. Thanks for asking how we are.
😊
So glad to hear that you are making progress. I too have had a life of struggle...always told, "you are not trying!", when no-one could try harder. Life can be great. Keep moving. Little wins are wins! I wish you many happy years...and relationships. I pray you will also find the love of your life!
I’m not even really into farming, but this stuff is pretty interesting, and I also love the positive energy!
I never suspected how much I would enjoy watching someone trim cows' hooves, but here I am. I've watched your videos for a couple of years, and I still enjoy them more than I ever suspected I could. Thank you for sharing your fascinating line of work with us.
"Yes they have dirt on them, because they're cows" Is the answer to half the thoughts I have. God I love these guys.
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. :-)
Glad you're taking care of yourself and your transplant. Transplant success stories make me happy. (Consider reaching out to your donor family, if you haven't already. 😊😊😊)
@@jenkeep8123 I was lucky enough to have a live donation from my mother, 17yrs ago. She's fine and I have a new lease of life.
Also this has to be one of the most wholesome and therapeutic channels I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thank you. Ive watched most of your videos by now and I really love seeing the improvements these cows are experiencing from your work.
That’s so nice of you to ask about the stories of others. Not many think outside of themselves. Thank you for giving someone a chance to share.
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.
I grew up on a farm in Ohio. Was in the FFA and was on the state livestock judging team. Now live in Florida. Ended up far away from the farm and followed an IT career. I’m also am a licensed drone pilot. Love your videos
So calming to see the cow just walking with no stress great job, Graeme ! ! !
Nothing like hoofgp to lift the spirits. So calming and therapeutic. 👏🙏🙌
after having watched a couple of hoof and shoe resoling videos, I can say that I VASTLY appreciate your 'vet show' style commentary, letting us know what you're seeing and doing so those of us watching at home have an understanding of what you're trying to accomplish
it's what sets you apart from several different channels posting farrier videos
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!

Me: why would youtube recommend cow hoof trimming to me?
Now
Me: Oh ya she's gonna need a block!
Look up lubuskie centrum czystosci
He cleans rugs, you think it sounds weird, you'll thank me later
You win the Internet today. Great comment.
lol, me too. Can't pass up watching it. Learned so much.
@@SupportMensMentalHealth couldn't agree more
@@SupportMensMentalHealth Jacob is great...I love it when he gets a really big one...if your stressed out ...the motions he goes through settles a wired brain...so I binge watch when I need it...🤗🤗🤗
This whole channel brings back memories. I grew up tending beef cattle. That was a long time ago, many many moons have passed & now I’m a professional driver. I bring good things to y’all. I’ve been snowed in however. That grandmother of a storm has me cooling my tires in Rawlins Wyoming USA.
Your weather seems just like here in New England. The saying goes: "You don't like the weather? Wait a minute."
I've always wanted to visit New England. It looks so beautiful.
We have a similar saying in Western Washington. Though to "outsiders" we say that it rains all of the time. Beautiful here. If I'm to believe the rumors it is beautiful in your region also.
The same way with Florida 😂😂
Yep, I keep snow scrapers in my car year round
Sounds like Alberta weather. Hell, even the seasons vary wildly!
Proof, I might add, that climate changes no matter WHAT the hell we do!
I am from Northern Virginia USA and I was a city girl. I like you and your show. I am happy to have my health and my grandchildren. Granny 77
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 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.
Here in California, we're finally working with students in school! As their librarian, I'm thrilled to finally be doing my full job again!
Fellow Librarian (but at a college in Florida) and we share a profession and the HoofGP. Very cool. Cheers
Good video. People teaming up together to help animals do their best, pretty countryside, humor, descriptions of life. Thanks from all of us from around the world. Yes Craig, that is a neat cup you have and noted you were completely ready with supplies when the necrotic hoof was being worked on.
It was SO nice to see the cow again with the lost petal bone. I had searched your page looking for her but could not find her. You reminded me again why I like to watch your channel when you teared up after you trimmed her Hoof again. Yes, we saw it, or at least I did. Such a kind man your are!! ❤
Same as a lot of people on here I seem to have a lot of problems. I’m recovering from cancer, but I’ve had a mild stroke and it’s difficult for me to read anything without causing a lot of residual vertigo. I’ve been watching your videos off and on since you were in the little house in the city, and this is where I come to get calm and relaxed. I think you do as much good for the people who watch the videos as you do for the cows that are in them. I wish you continued good fortune in your life for you and your family. Thanks again for the videos… They’re Lifesavers! ❤️❤️
hey graeme! just wanted to say thank you for sharing these videos with us here on yt. it's been a huge source of easing my anxiety. life is rough but its always great to see how much you help these cute beefy boys, and i'm glad things have been working out for you so well. your hard work and optimism and closeness to your community is such an inspiration as always. hope you're having a good one today!
I love this show, I’m a veterinary technician and I’ve learned so much by watching!
Everytime I hug my husband I hear you opening song 'I fall into you"
I love watching the procedures at work here. You're really helping these cows have a better quality of life. And watching them is just satisfying in a strange way too.
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!
