A man who says "it stinks" when he spends day after day at the back end of a cow is a man to be believed.
As someone that works at a dairy farm I can tell you that there is a huge difference between the smell of cow/cowpoop and infection. The first one may stink but it doesn't give you the same feeling of wrongness of the smell of infection.
@@j.v3896 Makes perfect sense. Thank you!
@@j.v3896 so true!! the countryside always has a fresh smell, always accompanied by some sort of feces smell lol
but infection just smells so awful!
Back in the day, you could take the 10 freeway E, in S Calif, just passing Chino, take a whiff and say, 'We're passing Chino!' Dairy farms. Still have one of my Grandfather's 5g cans...
@@j.v3896 100%! I used to spend a lot of time with horses when i was younger, took riding lessons for 10 years, worked extra in the stable etc. The smell of horsepoop never ever got to me, but now as an adult that has worked with the elderly and smelled some truly unbelivable stuff, i would take horsepoop anyday over infection, bedsores or cancer-wounds..
I remember around age 9, my Dad, for some reason, had the feed trough near the fence, so I was always standing on it talking to the cows. (I was the only child on the farm at that time, so no one else to talk to 🤷🏼♀️) I notice that Leo was limping and I went and told my Dad. He checks him and removed a metal wire that had wrapped around the coronary band area. It has started to cut in, causing the limp. I was the hero for the day ☺️

Aw ❤

The little Jersey is adorable. She's got a little love heart in her face! I'm glad she wasn't injured.
I hope they don't eat her
I know, adorable…..but I still love a T-Bone, SOOOO conflicted!!!
@@Bungle1809 Jerseys are dairy cows, and she looked young. That said, in 5-6 years or so, you might want to switch to pork or chicken.
Thank you for rubbing her leg after you removed the wire. Your love for these animals is beautiful. 🥰
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
All I can say is, I’m sure glad those little cows have you in their corner. It’s wonderful to see them get the care that they need from you. 🥰
Graeme, I’m sure the Jersey cow won’t hold any grudges after she realizes how much better she feels! You might want to add a pair of needle nose pliers and a pair of wire cutters to the kit you keep in the crush for the “How on earth did she/he do that?” situations that occasionally crop up.
It seems like cows are naughty toddlers, too curious for their own good!!
considering the number of situations those can solve theres a reason most toolkits include them.
Probably be good for removing all the metal bits the cows are always seeming to drive into their hooves
Linesman pliers may be the better pliers to allow for more force application when grabbing screws out of hooves or, in this situation, to untwist the tangle
@@LadyAnuB I’m sure your suggestion is better than mine because I know very little about the kinds of pliers available!
She looked at you with what my grandfather called 'soft brown cow eyes'. As if she's well aware that you just rescued her from untold pain.
Would agree! That looked like a clear sign of appreciation to me. It also appears she's a brighter bulb among the bunch
And then your grandfather killed her a couple of months later.
Cows are such sweet animals. They are a prey animal so I can imagine the fear at first and the relief after he’s finished helping them.
That's funny you said that! That's what my Uncles used to say 🥰❤ You know both cows were happy the HGP came to see them!
Ya..love the thankyou-lookbacks..
Mr. GP should be Knighted for the happiness he spreads around the world, to both cows and humans. Rock on "Sir" GP
Yes! This is what I'm calling him from now on! Sir GP, yes!
Aww the poor dears, I’m glad you could help them. I can’t imagine the pain, and discomfort they were in before you helped. I’m glad you got the wire off before it injured the cow, or caused severe damage.
5:09 farmer here with some experience dealing with wire around cows legs. What happens is the cow(or calf) will put it hoof through a loop of wire and it will pull tight. As the cow pulls they might just happen to start spinning around in circles and that will twist the wire enough that it can lock on around the leg. You should get yourself a set of good fencing pliers and put them in your kit as this will happen a lot on farms that have been around for a while and haven't been immaculately maintained as fences get slack and such.
When he mentioned pliers and wire cutters, fencing pliers came to my mind too. Good catch..👍
My aunt had cows when I was younger. My job was inspecting fences for breaks and loose wire. The cows followed me to supervise my work.
Fencing pliers are too big for the tight spaces Graeme works in....
Thank you for explaining how this could happen. I was wondering about that. 👍🏻
I'm just home from work, (night shift nurse), and one of my tasks involved dealing with an abscess with iodine, then wrapping it. Come home, sit down and watch another health professional do the same...fortunately I don't need to trim hoofs! (I guess that's the podiatrist's job!) Thanks again for a wonderful video.
After the wire came off and you rubbed the area underneath for her, that was pure kindness 💖
Hello 👋 how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
I was watching one of your videos earlier today. I had to message my sister with “Watch this, I need a job that makes me feel like this guy feels.” The respect and genuine care you show for your clients and their owners is inspiring. The way you lift everyone you interact with is also incredible.
I grew up having a family farm we went to every weekend, and never saw the caretakers do anything like this (Colombia). Yet, I haven’t been involved with farms or cows for 30 years, yet your videos I find incredibly interesting and engaging.
Thank you for your positivity.
I started watching your videos a few months now after coming from The Toe Bro and Dr. Pimple Popper. I came for the videos and satisfaction, and I've ended up staying for the health and updates of the cows, your kindness and adoration for the gentle giants, and your wonderful accent and sense of humor. Thank you for doing what you do and deciding to share it with us.
I started with Dr pimple popper, then moved to toe bro, now I'm here!
Who else is battling depression and finding these videos somehow helpful?
Somehow yeah it helps
Dear, if you want to beat that try taking all sugar and flour/carbs out of your diet for 2 weeks, then reevaluate yourself, mood, weight, etc. Also try to stay away from internet and tv and see how your mood changes. Blessings
BPD. Trust me. I understand. You are not alone. ❤
Me, you are absolutely correct.❤
I've had severel depressions. Luckily not right now. But I love watching this. I hope you are doing ok. Hi from Lene
117 is already happy 😃 thank you Graeme !!!!!!💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💜👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼🐄🐄🐄🐄😎🇦🇼
Your channel gives me so much joy. I grew up a half mile from my Grandparents farm and spent a lot of time with my grandpa in the barn and fields. I learned to hand milk a cow at age 9 or 10, drove the tractor running the hayrake, making the wind rows for baling at about the same age. You transport me back to those fond memories
How fun would it be if you could find a dairy farmer who would let you spend your vacation working on his farm in exchange for food and lodging. Kind like a "dude" ranch (farm) experience.
I love watching a good team operate in tandem. Half the time for the cows, half the time for the trimmers, half the time prepping for the next job. Just all around good business.
That's half..three times...
Even Shakespeare could tell you , Scotland is an uncanny place....! Three halvs just....normal.
It always tickles me when you put all four feet of the cow into the air. It’s not just a crush, it’s a flying cow machine 😂
Hello Renee how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
🤣😅😁 It tickles me as well! (Flying cows, indeed! 🐄😃)
@ Renee Kincheloe...I don't think it's funny at all. I feel that kind of crush hurts the cows. I mean, the belly strap goes right in front of her milk bags and her whole weight is putting so much pressure that you can see the veins in her milk bag popping out! That has GOT to hurt, if not feel sooo uncomfortable!!!
Id be tempted to paint a moon on the floor of the crush.... For jumped over the moon.... OK not funny. But id still do it
"when cows fly" as opposed to pigs
❤ All I can say is, the cows in Scotland are in great hands with the HGP around. God bless you and your crew!
😁You're a good man Graeme. Without a doubt your positive and helpful attitude has rubbed off on those who surround you. May you keep enjoying your profession!
I am not a farmer - have nothing to do with animals . But as a 64 Yr old women I love watching these videos. Very relaxing n love when u find goo and fix it all. Whatever rocks ur world. IRELAND
Thank you for the great care you give to all of these beautiful animals. I was just at a county fair and couldn't help look at the cow's hooves and wonder who trimmed them!
me too
I love the work y’all do and the manner in which y’all do it. But your humor just cracks me up!! That’s what makes your channel so enjoyable. Your “poor pitiful me” speech at end is a hoot.
They walked the lane together/The night was studded with stars./ They reached the gate in silence/He lifted for her the bars./ She raised her brown eyes to his - but there's nothing between them now/For he was only a farmer's boy.../And she was a Jersey cow.
Crack on mate!!! THAT was perfectly timed. Graeme should REALLY appreciate that!!
Oh my, lovely, lovely! Thank you for sharing this lovely poem. 🙋😊
I am not claiming this as my own work, by the way! This has appeared in numerous comical poetry anthologies down the years. Still makes me smile, though...
I don't know how many times someone has written about something (unnamed ) but, there has been numerous arguments........ Until someone spoke with the author. But, this was revealed at the very end. Still lovely. If you have great respect and love for your animals............ I enjoyed it. I love animals.
Thank you for the video. I can not imagine a smell that makes you say it stinks, given the many smells of a 🚜. Your work is so important and complex.
Graeme, I live in Georgia USA & I for 1 appreciate all that you, Craig & Kevin do for the cows of Scotland. I honestly didn't even know that "hoof trimmers" was even a thing till I ran across your YT page a while back. You're awesome & the cows knows it too!!!!!! 😊🐄🐃🐂
Hello Barbara how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
What a testament to the farmer’s care that they were able to find her so quickly and get you in to help!
Hello Holly how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
I really appreciate how you care about the cattle you work on, they are sweet animals
This little jersey was gorgeous. So glad this farm is able to afford such good hoof care.
Before too long you'll be an entire F1-team, with one hoof trimmer at each leg, one at the front to control the crush, one at the back to prepare the next cow, and one last one to bring coffee.
Sounds like an excellent plan!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like a NASCAR pit crew
@@littleredhairedgirlsteph3922 NASCOW!
@@cassondramurray6100 ,love it!
What a beautiful Jersey cow! I love her personality ❤
You should invest in a pair of bullnose pliers. They might go by a different name in your neck of the woods, but they will let you easily remove any metal in a hoof, and cut wires like that one. They are normally used to dig up buried nail heads
I am surprised they don't have multi-tool pliers as part of their everyday kit.
Or bolt cutters 😊
We love the hoof GP!!! You’re awesome funny and sincere!! Making the world a better place!
You guys are a blessing to all these farmers. The animals I'm sure appreciate what you do for them. I know I feel blessed to be able to watch these videos and I pray that your channel keeps growing. God bless you all. 🐄❣❣
That guage of wire is very difficult to bend by hand. You might've been able to do it with a couple of pairs of pliers. She looked very thankful at the end of the video
I was wondering if some mean person put it on her. But I don't think she would have stood still for that to happen.
You have such pride in your work, the job can't be done just "good enough" it has to be done right and that is so nice to see! And those cute cows reap the benefits 🐄🐄🐄
Hello Ann how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
I come from a farm growin up and I love to see the care and patience you put into this!! Thank you!!
Hello kat how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
I'll talk with ya about cars any day lol. But I find this stuff super interesting as I went to farrier school (horeshoeing for those who don't know) and am very familiar with horse hoofs, but you got your game on a whole other level. Love the channel bro.
I love all your videos and enjoy the way y’all get along. I do wish you would put the intro music back into your videos…. I fell in love with the song and the view of the countryside you shot with your drone. I knew from the moment that the music started that you were going to take me for another magical ride through a small part of your day. I always feel better when I hear the “fall into you” music. You and your family truly make my day! God Bless
You always leave me with a smile.
Hello Karen how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
You are kind and caring with them. ❤️❤️
I like how when you started complaining at the end you slowly faded out, that’s exactly how my ears work with my kids. 😂😂♥️
I'm a city girl who loves your channel! I love seeing the beauty of Scotland and how much you care about the cows! Much love from Kent Washington USA
Been having a tough time recently. Your videos have always made me feel better. Thanks!! 😀👍 Jonny.
Take good care!
I hope things improve for you.
Yes, your kindness endears you to the cows you care for and all of us fans who admire you❤❤❤
Grahaem, please tell Kevin that he is doing an awesome job👍☺️
Keep up the great job 🙂💯
Hello Bonnie how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
So glad to see both lasses are on the way to better healthy healing ❤️🩹
Big cute eyes full of praise for taking wire off, another great video.
That Jersey cow LOVES you for helping her. ❤️
Hello Carol how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
If I could resubscribe if I could! Great to see the team getting stronger
Hello Joyce how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
The 2nd cow has such beautiful eyes 😊
This reminds me of growing up in Arizona. Barbed wire is part of life, and it has a real knack for getting wrapped around animals and people, when it's least expected. I'm glad you were able to help her so easily.
Thank you for loving those sweet animals 💕💕💕💕
Hello grace how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
Wow. She looked back as if to say "thank you so much!" It was adorable to see. How the heck did that barbed wire get on her leg anyway? I would want to investigate if I were the farmer so it wouldn't ever happen again.
We like you for your interesting content. We LOVE you because you take the time to give that cow's leg a bit of a rub after you take that horrible wire off. I could feel her relief from here in Arizona!
As someone who has had a very painful abscess in a very sensitive area, I know the immediate relief when it bursts open. The pain disappears right away. I can sympathize with the cows whose absecess burst on the spot
Hello Laura how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
Give 117 my love. She’s adorable. Those eye lashes!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Jeanette how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
Graeme spraying the barbed wire made me think of the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, who thinks every problem can be solved with Windex 😂😂😂
Also, it's always interesting how different they sound when they talk to each other as opposed to talking for the camera. It sounds so Scottish. Kinda beautiful and plaid. 🙂
So thats why its such a fast spoken lingo...they've gone plaid!
(Extra point for the quote...lol)
@@RICDirector 😂
Great to see you three boys working so well together
I LOVE every video! I would subscribe again and again if I could!
Hello Brenda how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
I LOVE the look she give you! She obviously turned around to look at where she had been for all that time, and suddenly she saw you and it was like, “Oh crap! He’s following me!” And she took off.
“I’m not going back in there!!”
I know they are cows and all, but I think they are pretty cool. no idea why you keep calling them lame.
Thanks Graeme. ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Hello Ann how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
Hate to say it, but could the wire have been snare?
Hello Sarah how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
What a beautiful face little Jersey cow has, and gorgeous eyes! What a beauty, and very thankful to you for what you did for her.
It looks like someone twisted that onto her foot ! Weird......
I agree - but why!?! 🤷♂️🤔
Hello Eileen how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
Jerseys are my favorite breed of cow absolutely beautiful with a big doe eyes and light colored coat
So it “wasn’t embedded”…. Bordering on clickbait
I love that you help the poor little cows. Travis and I really enjoy watching your videos, though I have to look away when there's lots of pus. Thank you for taking such good care of the moo cows!!
That Jersey has the prettiest eyes ! TY for helping her and it it will not get worse now.
Good job Graeme. Another happy customer. I always like to see their reactions when you let them out of the crush. Most turn and give you that thank you look.😁
Always love tuning into the videos. Working on a Dairy Farm in New Zealand it’s always good getting more and more knowledge everyday
The little 117 is a BEAUTY!!!! 😍😍😍
That is a beautiful cow... 4:27
That 2nd cow was so beautiful.
Hello Rita how are you doing today 😮,happy new year 🎊.
I don't know why I enjoy your videos so much but thank you for them
What sweet girl. Thanks for helping them!
That is a beautiful little cow. She's really glad you got it off without any pain . That other cow was walking really good . Well done.
I love that little Jersey. She's so cute ❤️
