I had cousins that moved into Streamwood in the late 50s, and there was a huge dairy farm just north of Irving Park Rd and Barrington Rd, which was a 4-way stop sign back then. That barn was so big you could see it for miles, and there was a little one room schoolhouse @ Schaumburg Rd.

    You said; "I feel extremely lucky to be able to live here in Southwest Scotland. To me, the land is beautiful. It's lush, green, and full of life." Watching your drone shots is one of my favorite things about your videos for this very reason. That, and I feel a connection to the lands of my ancestors birth. It's wonderful to be able to see not only how many cows you can heal, but also to see those rolling hills, and those beautiful landscapes.

      Hi Lucy! Forgive me for offering unasked for advice but I related to your comment and wanted to offer a “mind trick” that may be of benefit to you. When you notice you are having negative thoughts while trying to sleep, it’s really powerful to know that you have two different mindsets going at once. There is the ‘negative thinker’ and there is ‘the noticer’. Remember the real you, the deeper you is the noticer and this you can reclaim your dominant way of thinking by labelling (and in a way objectifying) the negative thinker. I called it my ‘Night Negs’. It then almost becomes fun catching yourself slipping into your Night Negs and remembering they aren’t the real you’s thoughts, just an unhelpful habit that’s developed. Some people even call their negative thinker by a human name, one funny name I heard recently was ‘Magda Trash’. Hope this helps :) And while you are strengthening your noticer side, notice some great things about yourself during the day and write them down! Read it at night between Hoof GP vids :)

Thank you, Graeme, for doing everything you do, most especially caring about these critters [sorry, old American slang meaning creatures, I think] comfort. You're treating them with the same compassion she raised me to show to others, especially animals. I found your channel one week after I lost Mom or we'd be watching this together until we saw every one of them. Now I will continue and keep remembering everything she taught me about being a Farm Girl. 👒🧑🏼‍🌾 At the very least, I'm a ranch foreman's granddaughter who I was born to this, so it's a good thing that I've loved it since birth. 😭 Anyway, back to finish this video and to remembering.

    18:22 HaaaaHaHaHa! That was a surprise fellas...hilarious. It was nice to see Gracie and good to know she hasn't gone backwards in her healing. I'm one of those people who love to see the cattle on pastures, that's how it was when I was growin' up so when the big fancy barns first came along I thought it was absolute craziness. I've been at few of the updated farms and got to see what went on and why and it made me feel that I kinda wanna come back as a dairy cow on one of those farms, if reincarnation is a thing. Heh, heh. They still amaze me with their automatic power windows, ventilating walls, backscratch brushes and soft floors. One of the larger ones near me has the cows free roaming in a massive barn like that and they are taken into a milking parlour so many at a time. It's a fantastic system, it's clean and you can plainly see that the animals are happy and in peak physical condition. I still get to see cattle on pastures but now they are usually Aberdeen Angus and Hereford and that's cool too. Terrific video and I love how you explain a bit of how and why things are done. Some people live their whole lives never seeing a farm or knowing how they operate and I think people like you who educate are doing a great service. Thanks!

    5:29 I've got something to say to your face, Mr Parker! *serious glare*
    You've taught me stuff I'll probably never need (just enjoy knowing), and perhaps worse, You've made me Feel stuff without my consent!
    You've made me care about the cows and bulls you're helping, and made me happy to see their improvement! Your gentle way with them and prestigeless attitude has made me respect and admire your work, and I don't even know you!
    Sure, I might not help matters by continuing to watch your videos, but I hold You responsible for making me enjoy them!
    The only way I can think of for you to make it up to me is for you to follow your heart and find joy and fulfillment from it. Otherwise I'm not sure I can forgive you for your feel-good/satisfying/enjoyable content.

    I'm glad that there is a way to modify that new blade, and I'm glad Gracie is doing ok.
    These cows look fantastic! Where I live in SoCal, they are on feedlots, which smell of stale pee always, and the cows are "slimy on both ends and meat in the middle". The cows at Gracie's barn are clean and healthy, and have a calm happy demeanor. I'd say that means they are just fine in that beautiful barn!

    2:32 so that's where parmesan shavings come from! Love what you're doing for these aninals and your passion for doing it! Happy food is delicious food. Our friends' parents have cows and they sell the meat to a coop arrangement with their friends. The meat isnt perfectly AAA marbled but it has the best flavor you'll never get with grocery store meat. Better than what most restaurants get. Good husbandry definitely helps the end product.

While the trimming part is fascinating it is your knowledge that keeps me coming back. When you explain something I am amazed at the depth of your understanding and, even more, how long it must have taken you to acquire it. Now I could never work with cows, they are filthy animals and apparently pretty stupid, but you give each one a personality which makes watching much more enjoyable. So thanks for the hours of entertainment and understanding you provide.
