Hello, when you were getting the first bull to move around you said "don't you dare". Was he fixing to get mad at you or something?
Ha ha you couldnt really tell in the video but he put his head down and snorted at me which is basically a warning!
The boss was taking control.
Those are usually my famous last words b4 I'm running for my life from a cockerel 🤣
The Hoof GP his eyes were wide to where you could see the whites of his eyes. Either fear or just plain “get out of my face”. Pretty dangerous and hilarious to look at on film.
Head below the shoulders and a dropped tail means you need to acknowledge his posture and make it obvious that you aren’t scared. (BTW if you aren’t scared you are numb or stupid, but you have to let him know you aren’t). These animals are way smarter then you think, way faster then you are and able to deal out and receive incredible amounts of pain and injury. I like to keep a pair of gloves handy to slap them with or simply slap them together to make noise because if they realize that’s all you got they may simply plow you over.
Well I must get to bed now I could watch it all day I have spent 5 hours today.. can't stop watching i love cows. age 89
Enjoy 😺
You absolute legend!
I know, they are so delicious!
💜
I have seen like 40 of his vids. I don't even like cows. But this channel is addicting to watch
I'm an old lady and can remember my granddad being a dairyman. and watching you trim hoofs and think about hard it was 70 plus years ago. I love to watch you you trim and correct hoof problems and can't stop watching. I have is ducks, chickens, my dog and turtles/tortoises. I feel I'm at home with you on your rounds. God Bless and keep safe..... Turtle Granny N.C. USA LY!
I rewatched this one... and you were happy you had just reached 52K subscribers. At the minute I watched this...again... you were at 520K !! Congratulations on all your media success Graeme, you work hard and you deserve the success. Farm on !
I'm not a farmer at all. Know nothing about farm animals but I find watching your videos so satisfying.
I’m binge watching hoof trimming and I own no cattle. Please help
lol i'm right there with ya!
Same
Hey at least you’re not watching pimple popping videos.....uh oh, what did I just doooo?!!!
I switch it up and watch horse hoof trimming too !!
Same...
Hahahaha
Lets face it, not only are you providing and honest service and putting in an an honest days work, but your positive attitude and perseverance shines through. Thank you for allowing us to come along with you for the experience
Hi. My husband thinks I'm crazy but I can watch the cows for hours. I just happen to come across a video and I was instantly hooked. I love that you care for these animals. Keep us the good work. P.S. I like the infected feet videos the best. 😄
I love how you care for each cow. You treat them like the living animals they are, not a piece of property. Plus you are hilarious. Lastly, your talent is remarkable. You are a true craftsman. Keep up the amazing work.
You know, I have to thank you for your video's. We are in Canada, Alberta and raise Beef cows. There is no hooftrimmer anywhere near us and if you want one to travel all the way to us you need to have enough animals to make it worth while for the trimmer. Which means they are only in the area maybe once a year, if that. So if there is an animal with an acute foot problem and is lame because of it....... it's a bad situation all around. Vets around here don't deal with foot problems anymore either, none of them has a tipping table or is set up to treat cattle with bad feet........ so the only option would be to load up the animal and take it for a 3 hour drive to the closest Vet being setup to help. Not my first option really. Tried to find hoof blocks or even trimming discs, nope, nobody carries them and one vet even said....... that's a waste of time, they fall off right away anyway.
And here I was with a bull severely lame on a front foot. Thanks to you and your videos, finding a supplier across the country who carries hoof blocks, good glue and trimming discs I was able to take care of the bull and a cow of our own. Of course I'm not as efficient and trained as you!!!! But I did as good as I could under the circumstances and both animals are back to being sound on their feet and have nice regrowth coming in.
So thanks again for what you do, from the other side of the planet.
How are they doing now?
Still good?
That's AWESOME to know that GP has been of assistance to you half a world away!!!
He has raised our awareness too, for our house cows feet on our little 55acre hobby farm in Western Australia.
It’s sad we don’t show more compassion for them, ❤️👉🏻🇨🇦 #yyc
Why not take a training course and service your area?
Area farmers could all chip in for some used equipment to share, maybe the local vet wants in too??
Why can’t I stop? I own no cattle and have no need for this information.
Rose Tyler I will never own cattle but we must learn every step involved. Especially if the hoof is very dirty, or infected. It must be fixed and we must see it fixed. Tune in.
Seriously why am I watching these? Car detail videos turned into this. Cmon TH-cam lol
SO FUCKING TRUE
I find all his videos soothing and entertaining.
I feel the same lol just randomly watching farming videos... But it's very interesting..
I appreciate how much you respect the cattle you care for. Our small farm dairies love the Jerseys. It's like milking a herd of friendly deer. I just love the Jersey.
It’s nice to see your empathy for the cows & bulls, watching you interact with them, Craige, your sons & your wife.
Didn’t know cow pedis were a thing I needed to know about but here we are 8 videos deep😂
I really love the fact that your French Bulldog seems well bred, in the sense that it actually has a snout. I’m veeeery happy about that.
TeguEggu absolutely agree!
It is because Americans desire that pig snout to exaggerate the "bulldog" look. I don't know why, but American breeders do alot of things much much different when it comes to breeding. Europe is very anal about that kind of thing which is good. Check out the European Dobies and American Dobies difference, also the GSD.. Americans bred that poor backside into the GSD for "more powerful lunge"
It’s such a pleasure to watch someone who loves what he does and who has real compassion for the beasties!
I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. I especially like to see you talking to the cattle and petting herir heads. It's not just a job to you, I get it that you have respect for them. Best wishes and warmest regards.
You would love working with my cousin's cattle! She makes sure they're all being handled regularly, and her bulls are so chill that you can climb on them and they just flick an ear back like "wtf?". You don't even really have to retrain them. They're quite friendly and happy to let people look at their feet.
I never would have guessed that I'd be so fascinated by a series of videos about hoof trimming but here we are. :D
Right here with ya!
Isn´t that the truth!
Same here! I grew up around dairy farms, but had no idea farmers needed to do this. HoofGP, you're a joy to watch & listen to!
Same!
Same here, I just love it
I think myself, like a lot of people, got algorithmed into these videos. But I keep coming back because you seem like such a genuinely nice guy. And someone who actually cares about the animals. So keep doing the thing and we’ll be here watching.
Thank you
I grew up as a kid working farms in upstate New York. I love your videos. People like you who are so compassionate,caring and so talented are far and few between.keep the videos coming!!! Can't stop watching👍😁
Nobody:
TH-cam Algorithm: We recommend watching this hoof trimming video
Me at 2 AM: "I mean I guess I have 17 minutes to spare"
potones me af this morning
potones I'm caught up in the same algorithm lol
That was me last night lol!
This is me rn 🤣
Saame, and you stayed?
Hello! I'm a woman in my late thirties in the Northeast United States. I have never owned or lived on a farm but love your videos. I love seeing the the great progress in the healing process of wounds/nails/hooves. I am a Registered Nurse and find all types of medicine/healing fascinating! Also, love your accent! ; ) Keep up the great work!
I love all the positivities that your channel tries to have. You don't bad talk your brother in law or the work Craig does but instead build them up. It's amazing to see a person or family like that.
You are a breath of fresh air! I can say that because I can’t smell the cows, barn, poop, etc…Your passion to make these animals comfortable is amazing and I love watching your videos! Thank you for taking care of Gods creatures so lovingly!
Why is this so damn interesting? Every time I see a cow in a field now, I wanna go check their hooves.
In quarantine and your videos are enjoyable. I became interested in the behavior of cows from the movie, “Temple Grandin,” a woman who revolutionized how farms treat cows. Your Crush reminds me of the sensory device she made to help calm herself and cows. The fact that you use something similar in trimming and are kind to the cows is comforting. I also enjoy the music. Thank you!
That crush rig fascinates me. I wish Graeme would do an episode showing in-depth how it supports the cow, not just how it enables him to pick up their feet. Love to see someone who earns a living from animals *really* caring about their comfort and welfare. It should be the least we do. 🐃🐄🐂
Being raised on a farm as a young girl and having to help my uncle with our dairy cows was my life. You've brought back so many incredible memories. I love the work you're doing and I will never miss a video!
I just discovered this channel a couple of days ago. I'm hooked solid because you're so very entertaining and you're Scottish! I can't wait to go back, it's been six years since we were there. The views of the country side are spectacular. It's so obvious you love what you do.
Dave: Nice and sweet to the girls
Dave: Yells at bulls
:D
Has to be more aggressive because of their temperament and size.
As he should. Bulls are ornery!
Soooo yeah. I don’t live on a farm. I don’t have cows. But I could listen to you talk all day because I love your accent and watching you trim is so satisfying for some reason. 😂
Nice farm. Sweet nephew! Beautiful cows! Your brother-in-law sounds like a very smart, capable man.
This is fascinating. I know nothing about this kind of work, but I’m in awe at the skill, the strength and effort and understanding in the animals. I LOVE learning about this. Thank you for all the work you do for these animals to help them be more comfortable and healthy AND the amazing job you do with your VIDEOS!!
You're just a good genuine dude and watching the healing process is so gratifying and you explain what you're doing really well, 1 million subs in your future
For 70 years I have being learning about new skills and the people who do them !! I just found your channel and subbed!! 🇨🇦
I like how maintained and crisp your tools are. You do your profession proud.
You are such a perfectionist! I for one think its amazing how dedicated to the comfort of your patrons animals.
A 30 yr horse owner I stumbled across your channel and I was mesmerized . Than you for putting it all together into hours of entertainment.
It's great to see a man happy in his job!
Right??❤❤
Hello. I love watching your hoof trimming escapades, your genuine concern for the animal's welfare is obvious, and your love of the land and those who live upon it is refreshing. I am living a life vicariously through you. Thankyou.
So this is what my life come to on a Friday night
Daniel Rios ME. TOO.
It’s Saturday for me😂😂
You should be proud
5 months later and SAME 🤣🤣🤣
You know at least your not getting into any shenanigans 😂
I never knew there was so much work to raising cows. I didn’t think about the hoofs. My hats to all the men and woman working with these animals.
I really enjoy learning about the anatomy of the hoof, the different problems you run into, and the before and after photos. Thank!
I just love the bulls the most, watching them plod along like “okay okay! I’m going!” Is just so cute
I love that you compliment the farmers. And I love that you allow the children to help you.
I love watching you trim hoofs. Your subscribers just keep climbing! Congratulations!!
Hello from Seattle,
You, my Scottish friend are as we Americans say “the real McCoy” !
Sincerity, honesty, and care, come through in every video. Many channels try to be those thing but fall woefully short.
Keep up the good work.
You had asked us to comment what we like about the video, and I know I'm a wee late on the comment, but I randomly found one of your videos in my recommended and I can't say I'm disappointed. The things I like about your videos is that you are very educational, you speak well on a subject you know intimately but with respect to the viewers and the farmers. Your work shows that you care for the animals you are trimming and you genuinely care more for their health than their purpose/product. You're a genuine character and it shows, which is hard to come by these days. Looking forward to your next video as I am binging the lot of them now.
🙂👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like that you take your work seriously and genuinely care about the animals.
You are such an up lifting guy! I love your attitude and I love the care and respectful you treat all the ladies !!
When I was much younger, it was a treat to watch my uncles care for their beef cattle when we visited their farm. Watching this channel brings back happy memories.
Had never seen a cow's feet get trimmed before I came across your channel. In fact, I had never heard of such a thing before.... But now I try to watch every video. Very informative and entertaining.
A very nice job young man!! I am almost 60 now, and doing that as a child, well you sure make it look easy. God Bless you and your family...
I was in nursing for over 20 years, and I love learning new things. Your personality is a joy to see you work with the cows. Keep updating I love these videos.
I'm a farmer in Wales. Find what you do intaresting and educational, I like how you explain things, and you are just great to wach.
Until you came up in my TH-cam Feed in Recommended, I had no idea Hoof trimming for Bovine was even a THING! Fascinating.
I work at a butchers in the states, and it's really interesting to see how much care and effort is put into helping cows lead relatively peaceful and comfortable lives. Things like hoof maintenance really never crossed my mind before watching these vids. Thank you for giving myself and everyone else a chance to see all of this.
I just happened to come across your videos and I absolutely love them. My grandfather had a farm so I appreciate that you are taking care of the bulls and cows. It's very important. Thank you 🙏
It was the best “good morning” I have ever heard!!!!
Maybe Robin Williams Just a bit better but he was not singing it either
I wouldn't mind if every video was like this, just a normal workday and stuff.
Things like this is ASMR to me. Well, this and homesteaders that I follow. Not something that I do, but something that is interesting and educational.
I enjoy watching you guys move the cattle around, and obviosly trimming them. Also - adorable pictures in the end here. Keep up the good work.
Even though I have nothing at all to do with cows, I love to learn. Especially, something new. I enjoy watching someone who loves what they do. You’re excellent at what you do. You are an excellent teacher; as well. That’s just some of the reasons why I’m addicted to watching.
Why is this channel not more popular!?! I love your videos ❤️ You do amazing work and you can literally see how much you are helping the cows. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks Sara
Your videos are great. You obviously enjoy your work 😊
Love the ones where the poor animal has had a problem or an abscess.......to see them walk out of the crush afterwards with their hoof sorted, clean and bandaged is lovely. You take so much pain away for them 🐄
I’ll keep watching x
It's growing like crazy! He's added 1,000 a day every day this week (It was at 47K Sunday)
Sara, he’s really pretty new, his subscribers are growing by leaps and bounds. His channel will be very popular....just share it to all your friends so they find him!
Those are some big boys!!! Thanks for your kindness it’s great to see your work and I love to listen to your explanation of what is happening with the hoof and what you do to correct the problemWishing you a wonderful weekend!!!
I watch your videos to learn! And also as a way to de-stress and relax and smile because your content brings a lot of joy and interest. So thank you! I’m really glad I found your channel! 😊
Hi Mr Parker, Thank you so very much for letting us into your life. I am 66 years young,live in a little town in southern Indiana. Love your accent, and I can see your true love in making these cows feel the best they can. Thank you again.
3:54 I know your time is precious
Love how your hands on trimming is literally saving these cows lives. As a retired Oncology nurse, I am amazed how you are able to salvage such horrible feet like terrible abcesses or bone displacement. My Scottish husband was born and raised West Coast then family moved to east coast, so we always enjoy seeing the landscape. Interesting to see differences in dairy farms between Canada and Scotland. Thank you and congratulations!!
Ex ITU nurse here too and I'm always amazed at the healing power of these animals and the awesome skills Graeme uses to help them on their way. Without these skills these animals would be in severe pain and possibly euthanised.
I love learning about new things especially when it comes to helping animals. I am quite entertained, loving the Scottish accents n seeing the countryside over there. Love the zoom n the explanations, wish I could see it for myself, its fascinating. Good job.
Hi there Graham, Al here. I know nothing about cows or bulls, I’m learning a lot from you and Craig. I love the banter between you, 17:19 it really makes the show so pleasant and funny,also I love the way you look after the animals. Alan
I like how he shaves the hooves with ease,they look like coconut shavings😂😂
Fascinating as always mate. Love watching you keeping the dairy cattle healthy. A cow podiatrist. Magic.
Completely hooked to your videos. You care so much for the cows. Such a wonderful human. I sit up late watching. Keep em coming!
Recently had my toenail removed and I’m in pain rn I’m watching this and it’s actually satisfying me 😂😂
Mate, the sound I made upon seeing Steve was no where near human. 😂 That wee boy is too cute to handle!
You treat the cattle with so much respect. I can tell you treat all animals with respect. Plus you seem like a very nice man who works hard. Hi from Atlantic Canada
In fanfiction circles, they have a term called "hurt/comfort", which refers to stories where one character gets hurt (physically or mentally) and another character comforts them and makes it better. That's what I like about your videos - they're basically hurt/comfort stories involving cows with sore feet. Plus, you're just such a kind, wholesome, cheerful man who seems to genuinely enjoy his work - and you have a fun accent!
Hey. I’m from NB Canada and just found your videos. Can’t seem to get enough. My kitten curls up on my chest and watches with me. You guys do amazing.
My late mum loved to watch John Wilson Go Fishing she had never been fishing in her life but John loved and enjoyed what he did. So don't be surprised. Rick 🚣♀️
I love learning things even if I won’t have any real life practical application for it. It’s still fascinating. I love seeing Scotland and hearing the gentle moos and listening to you explain things. I like to even rewatch ones I’ve already seen because it’s very relaxing.
I especially like the updates on the cows and bulls whose feet start out very bad and then to see the progress throughout their healing process.
350k subs later, nearly to the day, I'm rewatching this passing a rainy evening. Well done Graham.
How can anyone dislike this video? Cheers to you, my friend! Always look forward to your videos!
Honesty, openness, interesting content and you as a person are just some of the things that keep me here and that have contributed (I am sure) to the 50,000+ subs. If I was to ask for anything more it would be views of the countryside that you drive through during the course of your day. Thank you for the time you put into your videos and please keep them coming.👍
Thanks John!!!
I LOVE the aerial shots
John Long i see that you beat me to the views of the countryside. Yes you are wonderful at giving info and showing what you are doing. I to have learned so much. Thank you
131k now and a new subscriber here just two videos in. I'll be binge watching this, GOT be damned.
@@varunhebli Another new Hoofster, welcome aboard.
I love how in this video you're so thankful for the 50,000 subscribers you had at the time! It's at 504K now!! Keep up the great content!
I think one of the main reasons I watch the hoof go videos is because it's great to see someone happy with their job, not complaining about problems and encouraging co-workers. Graeme always acknowledges the good work of others.
People watch because you’re real, informational and overall make it interesting. The fact you have an accent may help just a bit. Glad your channel is doing well!!
There is something wholesome and calming about watching hoof trimming (well as long as the animal behaves themselves)....
Love the videos .particularly the before after and during treatment nice to see how you help these animals .and the progression of the healing of their feet. info re age value and purpose of the cows is interesting too.
I'm addicted. Binge watching! I feel such pity for these cows suffering in silence.
Thank you farmers for caring, thank you trimmers for helping. Let's donate andpray as hard as we can for all of them!
him flippin the bird...Funny lol ... and those bulls are so cute... They are dangerous but when they are in the chute they are such babies lol
A bull is NEVER a baby .
Underestimate a bull and you could be dead .
That goes for a heifer , cow or steer as well , by the way .
Just saying ...
I'm was born & grew up in Derry, Nth Ire, from milking cow farmers :-)
Live in Brisbane, Australia now.
Love yer work & accent.
Love watching you and your moo moo magic! Your heartfelt caring shows through all your videos! Priceless! 🐄💞
I never thought about hood trimming, but you make it so interesting. Thank you for showing and sharing your knowledge and what you do.
I don't know why I find this fascinating, but I love watching you trim their hooves. So glad you're getting more subscribers, I tried to explain to a friend about the channel but she didn't" get" it. I think we must be an unusual bunch! 😁
(By the way, great music too!)
Thanks Julie lol
Hey Graeme, love your vids, I'm here in South Louisiana USA, they say we talk funny too!!😂😂
I love the abscesses and then you fix them and show the recovery, cool!!!
I grew up in DeRidder, and most of my encounters with cows there involved mushrooms...
@@Canthus13 lol. Yah
Canthus13 , I'm from the New Orleans area but live in Moss Bluff, not far from DeRidder, small world!!!
Middle finger I guess it universal
I'm a retired NHS worker, and I started watching your site when I retired. I'm fascinated by your work. When I see how some of the lame cows/ bulls walk before you do your job. Then after you work your magic most of the lame animals walk well. Keep up the good work.
You’re a pleasant guy. No high drama. Just a good guy treating these lovely cows and taking away their foot pain.
"Don't you dare" he says to the big fella and the it listened!! I can't even get 1 my 2 little 15 lb chiwennies to do what I say yet he does it with authority and love... No matter what kind of "Bulls**t" they are giving him!!! That right there is a good man who is blessed. Stay safe.
What i like about technology and the information that we've gathered over the years, is our capabilities and opportunities to take care of animals.
Those who are looking for the previous video of this bull that he showed clips of in this video, it's the one titled "BULL BREAKS OUT | The Hoof GP " ^^ he uploaded it June of 2019. Enjoy!
Amazing work as always. Thank you for doing so much for these animals
