Loving the cameos from Mrs GP and Craig the legend. You make these videos with such passion which really pulls the viewer in and certainly captures the eyes and ears. Much love and thank you 🙏
And the Hoof GP liked my post!! Awesome 👏 beaming like a Cheshire Cat!!
Let's keep the women of this channel
I think 'craig the legend' is a better nickname than craigy boy.
He could change the name of his channel too.
Oh was wondering who’s voice that was
Love your comment! Craig the legend!
The farmer had the nicest accent! Loved hearing Mrs. GP too!
It's so rad that you got Mrs. GP to do some voice over work. Super awesome of you.
It's wonderful to hear about Adam's way of caring for his herd. I wish all cows all over could be managed as such.
20 years ago I took a job milking cows early in the morning. It was horrible. 200 head, so they had to go through super fast, laden as they were with milk. My job was to lead them into the milking stalls, hose off their udders (their pen was practically a cesspool), start a stream, and attach the mechanical milkers. It was February, below freezing, and pitch black outside, but the cows were warm and docile and eager to be milked. But then that blast from the hose was freezing! So the milk didn't let down, they'd get touchy and try to knee you, and I was taught to use a kicker bar if they didn't cooperate. Milking took forever that way and seemed cruel, so I'd let the hose water run a bit til it came out warm, and the warmth helped the milk to let down, and the cows didn't kick. The other milker went on blasting them with ice water and seemed to think the cows were fussy just to spite her; so she used the kicker bar with relish, like it was sweet revenge. I loved the job, but I felt so guilty, I quit. And now I do cry a little bit on the inside over spilled milk because I know cows go through so much to give it to us, it's a shame to waste any of it.
Thank you, HGP, for striving to make them comfortable.
That sounds like a *horrible* farm. I can't imagine treating animals that way. Washing off their udders, sure, they tend to lay down with no concern as to if they'd just pooped there, but the rest sounds *mean.* I grew up in dairy country where all the farms are family run and the few farmhands who need to be hired grew up around cows, so that rather affects my perspective, too.
Every time I see a milking parlour with the stations where the cows can enter and be milked whenever they want I always think what a sensible idea it is. Of course they want to release their milk. And being milked stimulates more production. The more my kids ate, the more milk my wife produced. That seems like a win win for the farmer and the cow - farmer gets higher production, cows are more comfortable.
@@brigidtheirish it's always good to hear that other farms DO treat their animals with kindness. I know it's a business, and efficiency is key, but I believe it's our duty to find a way to be both kind and efficient. Thank you for your reply. 🙏🏻
@@wendysnelgrove5870 exactly. I remembered what it was like to nurse my daughter, and warmth always caused me to let down, be it from sunshine or a shower, and it was uncomfortable - therefore I was eager to nurse. And absolutely, it's a positive feedback loop - the more you nurse, the more milk you produce Same for the cows. A little empathy goes a long way. Thanks for your response!
@@carbine090909 Generally speaking, kindness *is* efficient because the cows are healthier and so produce more milk. There's always going to be *someone* who doesn't get that, though.
You're welcome.
Hoof GP: (talks)
Cow: "Look ma! I'm on GP!"
Hoof GP: "How rude".
I love your interpretation ❣️
Can't stop laughing....😂😂😂
🤣😆🤣😆
Hearing experts talk passionately about their craft and their decisions within that craft will never not fascinate me! Both you talking about hoof trimming GP and this farmer talking about his farming decisions are just the best!
Is that Mrs HoofGP? Has she called for the shearer yet? Lol!
😂😂
Excellent episode. Adam was very interesting and Easyfix’s rubber flooring seems to be a win-win for the cows! 👍🥰❤️
Quite right. I understand why concrete is used, it's a lot easier to keep clean than sod, but it's rough on *human* feet, never mind a thousand-pound cow's hooves.
This episode was fascinating! Thank you for interviewing Adam. He obviously loves his animals and takes the best care of them he can. ❤❤❤❤❤
I learned so much this episode! Adam is a really caring and smart farmer. Thanks for caring about the animals and environment and teaching us about it!
What an excellent video. I honestly didn't view this as an advertisement, but more as an informational video. Your videos are always enjoyable to watch, and educational ! Thank You !!!
Having broken two vertebrae at the base of my spine (one of which has kept re-breaking over and over every year for the last 43 years!) and having to sit on it all day (for various reasons - I won't bore you), I truly do feel for that lovely lady with her bruised feet. So good to see her on the mend!
It was a really interesting chat with Adam. I found it fascinating even though I am not a farmer!
I love how much focus there is on the health, comfort, and wellbeing of the cows. I know it doesn’t represent every farmer but it’s nice to see someone making the industry better.
The passion for the care of these animals by you and the farmers is great to see. Keep up the great work.
I absolutely love how much you care for these cows!!!
In Southern California, the “ground” in childrens playgrounds is made from recycled tires. It’s almost spongy and a great surface in case anyone falls.
And those ground up tires contain some of the most toxic things known! Keep your kids off it!!
It also causes cancer.
@@dpeter6396 but it is good for the kids to eat it very high in Iron,
I totally agree with your philosophy! Happy cows are productive cows!
I love how he cares about everything not just one or two aspects of their lives and to be more eco friendly!
Really really interesting! It’s great to see higher welfare cattle farms. If we are going to farm animals we have a duty to make sure they are healthy and well cared for.
It's also cool that he cares about lowering the farms carbon footprint! Very informed and enlightened gentleman!
I'm not a farmer, I don't drink milk or eat meat but I love this channel and find it soooooo interesting! I love seeing how farmers really do take care of their livestock. There's a lot of pressure out in teh world for various different things but Graham, your work and teh work of teh farmers just warms my cold icy heart just a little ♥
Man I love how well you inform people about the change in Farmyard techniques and what they do for theire animals and that most of them care as much as they can.Gain more understanding and respect for the hole industrie what they really deserve for one of the thoughest jobs since the world is spinning.
I loved learning about Adam’s farm and rubber footing slats! Interesting and great knowing that he is trying to lessen his carbon footprint ❤️
happy cows with sweet curious faces. You've made this veterinarian's wife very happy
That's very interesting about the rubber in the pens and the slats. My dad used to have a furrow to finish hog operation and it involved a waste system similar for the hogs. There wasn't any rubber. I think it was straw, but it sure upgraded the way things were done. 😁👋🧡
I absolutely love listening to farmers and ranchers talk about their animals. It's immediately clear which ones are in it for the love of the critters and those who are in it for greed. 💚 These cows 🐄 have it great!
I don’t know about the US but in the UK it is pretty much impossible to be in it for greed💰😅, there is bugger all money in farming, you are never going to get rich as in independent farmer!
This is brilliant! Adam is really innovating and not just looking at his wallet but at how his operation impacts his neighbors. Love it!
Thank you Adam for taking the time to explain why it's such a good idea to use the rubber and not just concrete. It's very interesting. It was nice to hear from Mrs. HGP.
If you’re not doing so already, you need a Hoof GP hat or t-shirt with the “code brown” slogan on it.
Yes! 🤣 I would totally wear that shirt!💩🤣
Code Brown Happens
I’d buy one for my hubby! 😂💩
@@lesleywatkins1172 me too lol
Code Brown, 😂
This guy knows more about the environment than most greenies! Well done!
He knows about cattle and cattle farming. I bet if you asked him, he knows fck all about trying to save the planet from destruction. Which is what the "Greenies" as you so politely put it do. You made a disparaging remark but what are you doing to help the planet? Fck all, I bet.
CRRRRAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIGGGG, best hoof trimming barista this world has ever seen. Also shout out to Mrs. GP, she has such a nice voice.
Such a simple change yet the benefits are enormous.
Hello Maurice how are you doing?
I am a teacher now however, I grew up in a ranching family in Colorado in a large dairy area. 99% of the ranchers and dairy farmers I personally know are good stewards of livestock just as Adam and Grahame are. Please keep making your videos to show the positive stewardship of those working to feed and nursing our world. There is so much bad press we need you Hoof GP.
Adam has such a pleasant voice and just seems like a pleasant person in general
As the grand daughter of a dairy farmer I love to see the details of what he would have had to deal with. You are wonderful with the cows and bulls and I truly enjoy your videos! Hello from New Hampshire, USA!
I love hearing people talk about things they’re passionate about. Thanks for sharing Adam’s knowledge with us!
Hello Danielle how are you doing?
Adam is a really smart farmer who nows his stuff
We say that here that farmers are the best environmentalists and should be supported not hindered by the activists
Yep! Them and hunters, since they have a vested interest in wild places and healthy wildlife populations. Theodore Roosevelt was a rancher and hunter as well as an environmentalist.
My goodness I know it's a good day when hoof GP posts. And I know your loads busy but ima need you to post longer videos because I just love them so much and they seem to be getting shorter and shorter some are like only 4 minutes and some seconds I love it when you make 15 to 20 minutes long videos but I know you're busy and have a life other than making TH-cam video for us but I just love them so so much I Binge watch them all over and over again. Much love to you and your beautiful family all the way from VA 🇺🇲❤♥
I promise I’ll try to make more longer ones - I personally love them - it’s just the huge amount of time they take
I like that farmers recognize that making the cows comfortable adds to their profit. That's a win-win situation.
Yes, eventually these animals are killed and we eat them, but there is no reason to make their lives miserable before that.
Thank you for highlighting the fact that farmers are in fact very aware of the needs of their livestock. Thank you for the extra farmers talk as well as the great trim!
Woah! I got here really fast! I love how eager you are for nasty jobs to help the animals! Your work is great, you're a real inspiration!!
Love when Mrs HoofGP narrates!!!
No idea why but I watch every video. I have no connection to cows or hoof trimming except this channel and I love it.
I love that cow who was backtalking you throughout your trying to talk to the camera.
I found this episode to be very interesting and really enjoyed the free education! All the information we learn is so interesting and timely - greatly appreciate your sharing such!
it’s THIS kind of video that got me watching, following and supporting the work you {all) do! Education about bovine care, farmers being responsible, hoof structure has been , and will continue to be fascinating. Your humor keeps it far from boring, and the genuine kindness and concern you show for animals and farmers, and family are much appreciated.
I started watching this channel because I was learning new things. I keep watching because the hoof gp and the rest are interesting to watch. They seem like people I'd enjoy having a drink with!
Hi
Mohamed Ahmed.
Absolutley love the content, what an incredible person you are. Oh and ya can't forget Craigie Boy
I really enjoyed this video. It's always interesting to see each farmer's take on cow husbandry and how they do things on each of their farms. It seems that each farm you visit has it's own unique plan to care for (and make profitable) their herd.
Hello Autumnskyes how are you doing?
Thumbs up to Adam and all his happy cows, thank you for sharing the kindness that works Hand in hand with your business.
Hello Marisa how are you doing today?
I loved to hear Mrs. GP narrating. Her voice is lovely and the tone and inflection are spot on. Well done Mrs. GP 🥰🥰😍😍😘😘
Hello Susan how are you doing?
Ive always 'worried' about cows on concrete when you send them out of the crush on a cold icy day with fresh slippery hooves - so the rubber makes total sense!
Excellent conversation with the farmer
Love the surprise voice, hello Mrs GP.
Enjoyed your explanation in this vlog
Very cool .I like it that not all about trimming feet , but animal welfare, which is in many cases more important. Big thumbs up Greame
TH-cam tries to suggest all these other videos of people doing what you do but I don't stray. I did a couple of times and I was instantly shocked by the cruelty in what I saw. In one video the guy more or less gave up and had the animal put down. After watching scores of your videos it was an easy to realize that your compassion, care and knowledge is far superior to other trimmers. Great job, great attitude and great videos. Gob bless you and yours.
This channel is fascinating. I never knew so much knowledge was required for farming. Great interview. Keep up the good work Graeme so those of us living the city life continue to grow in our respect an appreciation of those whose work feeds us.
Hello Louise how are you doing?
Fascinating interview. Those cows are lucky to receive such care.
I think we need to get Graham a coffee sponsorship, with the amount of coffee he drinks lol
Her impression of him is spot on!!
You are amazing at the way you advertise and take care of the cows feet all at the same time
The cow interrupting him and his response was so funny.😂😂😂
If they'd had crushes like yours when I was a young woman, I'd have become a hoof trimmer. I only ever saw farmers do this the hard way. A bit late for that career change now, but I love watching this channel.
Hello Cassondra how are you doing?
Your interview was huge in helping us for our little family farm! Thx
Mr. Adam Quinny was an amazing speaker on your channel, he had no problem in explaining things and showed no nervousness at all. Everything was interesting and he kept the audience's attention very well. Love your channel and wonderful content.
Loved listening to Adam....so intelligent and has such a wonderful program
GP: One of the best things...
Cow: IS MEEEE!!!
GP:...🙄 how rude!
Very interesting!! Craig thank you for getting our Hoof GP some coffee!! Rockstar!!
That is a very smart man who has the condition of his cows health on his mind.
I love Adam's accent! He should narrate documentaries ❤️
So glad this one popped up! Farmer Adam explained why he does what he does for his cattle and the cows seem very happy for it! 🐃🐄🐂
You helped another sweet girl and Craigie fixed coffee right on cue ☕ All is right💚💜💙 Love to your Mrs.!
(Giggled when the cow 'talked' over you! They are the real stars, after all⭐)
Mrs GP voice is very nice and soothing.
Love the broad. Excellent touch. One of the best channels on TH-cam
again as someone who basically knows nothing about cattle (my mum's 'extended' family owned alot of cattle in Minnesota, meaning she did labor work for them but little else) I still deeply appreciate all the work you do to promote products that in an 'ideal super universe' would put you 'out of work'... because ... farmers CARE about their animals ... if they eat them or work them, they still care and so few outside sources understand that aspect of being a farmer. Bringing your animal to milk or slaughter .. farmers aren't madmen - they don't like excess suffering, and generally excess suffering doesn't actually produce better products.
tldr: I loved listening to your farmer man, because he knows what it means to be a cow farmer :)
The good work is done by many.
A very good Wednesday afternoon to you all from Wellington Somerset
Love the voice over from Mrs GP (hopefully, im right in assuming that).. love the interview of the farmer.. education is everything! Keep up the great work! Love your videos and cheers from Southwestern Indiana, US!!
"How rude" 🤣🤣🤣 you so funny. The cow was just giving a shout out. 📣🐄
Wow that one cow just wanted to get her nails done so much, she's telling you to hurry up lol.
You have a critic there at 10:29.
That reminds me of when I took my niece to the State Fair once when she was 5 or so. We were looking at the cows and one of them took a dump right in front of us. She thought it was the greatest thing ever! :)
I loved this video! Hearing new voices and seeing new faces always makes it interesting! Chatting with the farmer raises awareness about farm life and the problems/solutions encountered.
Craig is looking well! Excellent video!
Hello Michelle how are you doing?
HEYYYY MRS GP!! You're given Mr GP a run for his money on the commentary!! I love it
Very interesting listening to Andrew and how he really cares for his cattle. He is a really good advertisement for this flooring. His heard look so healthy, happy, and calm. It’s lovely to see how our farmers in the U.K. are constantly worrying that their cattle are healthy and happy. I always try and buy British for everything I can. From hoovers to settees, to meat, to carpets. We need to make sure we support these farmers as much as possible. Thank you for a wonderful, informative video 😊
Hello Rachel how are you doing?
So interesting hearing a cattleman’s point of view. Love your videos, so cool to see how the cows feet are treated.
Hello Nena how are you doing?
Thank you. I like when he talked about 'better performing cattle' etc. I immediately had pictures in my head of cows doing songs and dances with top hats and canes!!! hehehe!
Funny!!! Dancing Cows🐄🥰💚
I wouldn't want a sore bum either! Thanks Ashley 🙂. It's great fun and informative seeing other facilities and how they have worked to make changes better for their heard🐄
Thanks for another new video, my 4 year old wakes up at 9 and asks to watch hoof gp every night
Love to hear so much Adam cares for his animals ❤️
Hello Pamela how are you doing today?
Often something overlooked is the Whole Life Cost of something. It may well be expensive at the outset, but the WLC will be cheaper. By preventing something, or planning for something that might happen in the future, the overall cost over the lifetime will be less. Often when you choose a cheaper option, it becomes more expensive through its life as it needs more intervention. Adam may have had more expense at the time of installation of the rubber, but it's probably paid for itself over the last decade.
Loved that interview with farmer Adam. In particular, I'd love to hear more about how he's managing his herd to reduce his carbon footprint. As a consumer, I eat about 90% of my meat from local farms which are grass fed or free range as the case may be, and limit antibiotics to medical needs. Not sure if there is more I should be looking for.
Hello Wendy how are you doing?
Hi Graeme all I can say is thank you. what a good memory for me and my five year old granddaughter. I went to North Carolina and was watching your video. Oh it was a movie night with them so we finished up and I turned over and hit the hoof gp. She was watching it with me so when we had another movie night she asked to watch another when we finished up movie night again. I explained to her the cows are getting their hooves(fingernails)done like she does and you’re the one who makes them feel so much better. Gigi’s granddaughter and the hoof gp what memories. Thanks again
Bring comfort to all of us , and the herd
Hello Cynthia how are you doing?
Yes it's advertising, but I thoroughly enjoy the information,and find it fascinating. And I'm just a city girl from SoCal. Keep up the good work, and the informative ads.
Mrs. GP, it's nice to hear from you. Cool video Graham!
I totally love your videos, your attitude just makes me smile and laugh.....thank you for such a positive experience!!!!!
Hello Deborah how are you doing?
Tell your better half that I love her brogue! She should be on here more. Lol! Just picking on you. But no kidding, she has a lovely voice. I could sit and listen to her and you talk all day long. I am from Alabama in the United States. That is in the south.
I have absolutely no idea why I’m watching this. I live in a major British city and that isn’t rural. However I’m fascinated by this and love it. 🤷♂️
I love this channel. I've always had a soft spot for cows & have learned so much. Thanks for taking us to Adam's farm. It was very interesting. You have a lovely family & I love how you bring them into your videos.
I respect this Man. He takes care of his cows. They are living, breathing animals and I never want any animal to suffer for people's needs.
Thank u when my farm is ready I’ve got rubber so I took the first step to help
I miss Birmingham. I lived there for 11 years. I know you weren’t there per se but close enough. Great video.
