Accidents happen. I thought you handled it with incredible calm. Most people would have been screaming, cussing or crying - you may have been screaming at yourself inside, but you were totally professional during the whole thing. Tip of the hat to you! The first thing my da said after my first accident was, “Are you ok.” And then, “Don’t worry - it’s just metal - that’s what insurance is for.” So glad you’re all ok.
A supportive boss is hard to find and this is exactly how you should handle accidents. Getting angry never helps the situation and fosters an environment of fear. The safety of our guys is all that matters. Good on you!!
And THAT, my friends, is what business insurance is for. Stuff to equipment happens. Kudos to the farmers for the awesome tag team righting of the crush.
Actually it was interesting, watching all the big expensive things the farm has to have. They must always be hiding. Sure did step up the respect for the owners and workers at the farms.
I thought that too, the farm workers came in with the digger and other machinery and managed to right the crush without making it worse or causing any more damage. Good job.
I thought the recovery was lacking, myself. They picked it up from the bottom first, and dragged it across its top and made the roof worse? Why would they do that?
@@dethmaul The chassis of the crush is the strongest part, it was the only way to lift it without causing way worse damage. It's a heavy piece of equipment and metal likes to bend and even snap under pressure. The way they did it was the only way to do it without destroying the entire thing. The roof may be gone but everything else about it is in perfectly good working order. If one of the doors or mechanisms to hold the cow was damaged the crush wouldnt be able to be used at all. Better a roof that isn't important to the structure or function than the entire thing being broken.
Man needs to get a French press! Even make travel press for when our at the farms. If you’ve got time for tea to steep, you’ve got time for coffee to steep in a press. Espro makes an absolutely amazing double wall insulated travel press.
I just LOVE how you have Craig's back in this event, and just generally too. It's a credit to you that you fully understand and embrace the importance of a safe, secure, non-judgemental setting for others when they are learning, which in turn enhances the learning environment and ensures learning opportunities are maximised. You even turned this incident into a learning opportunity. Well done Graham, you should be very proud.
first off, how lovely was the farm where everyone came together to get it back upright!! Also Graeme you must be the best father. Everyone could learn a lesson for you in how to handle stress and things going wrong. Nothing to do if it's an accident but everyone gather to help make things better! Everyone feels better when tempers are kept and everyone helps to make it right.
Craig, that little error at the end of your week doesn't take away from the fact that you did an AWESOME job trimming hooves. It's understandable to feel silly after making a mistake, but you made more of an impact on the cows (for the better) than the crush.
I'm so glad that your relationship is so trusting and healthy with your employees that you didn't yell or act upset. We can all strive to be more like GP!
The crush is repairable. Craig and your brother not so much. I’m glad no cows or hoof trimmers were harmed in the making of this video. And Craig, job well done to handle a literal bump in the road. You got help to right the crush and assessed the damage. All in a days work for a businessman.
Poor Craig! I would have been in tears and just a mess. Letting your boss down like that, even if everyone tells you that they would have done the same thing, it was an honest accident and not to feel bad....it feels soooo mortifying. Craig, hat off to you, and thanks Graeham for being so kind about it
Don't know enough to know how the trims are but I remember back when Craig only did one hoof a cow and had Grahame check it each time so regardless of the trim it's great to see he's built up his confidence and skills so much.
Nicely handled Graham, a fantastic attitude! Craig shouldn’t feel too bad if others have went over there…maybe some bright yellow paint on the edge be good 😉
There should have been a marker or steel pipes there to show that drop It's a danger waiting to happen don't understand why it is there in the first place The crush can be fixed but what if there was someone standing there Farm safety always not just for the cattle Could have been a lot worse
... And add those plastic poles (that will bend) so drivers can see that step. It wasn't just Craig, the farm should fix that drop off. The driver can't see it from their vantage point.
Sorry but I don't agree here, yeah yellow paint and all that would help. But situational awareness would be far more important . Driving that jeep with a 4 tonne trailer in the wrong hands could be an absolute death trap, that's why they brought out trailer driving tests. And to drive of the edge of a 2 foot drop and say you didn't see it ?? Sorry I would say that is where the main problem lies. I now expect to get abuse for not following the awk it wasn't your fault Craigy boy line. But then Farms are dangerous and farm machinery even more so, and knowing that a child was killed when an empty horse box toppled and crushed them, I'll take the abuse as long as one person takes heed of what I said.
In all honesty, I’ve seen people do worse who have been driving the same place for years. Accidents happen. That’s what insurance is for. Graham is a great, supportive boss and I have enormous respect for both of you. Well done, boys
He was saying insurance is for accidents like this, which should still be rare. No one is suggesting Craig threw caution to the wind knowing he had insurance. He just made a mistake and a business should carry insurance or set funds aside since it's foreseeable accidents will happen one day. So it's perfectly correct to say "this is what insurance is for" it's to manage risk to company assets if loss would be detrimental to the company. The fact the owner immediately was not too worried about the equipment just about safety of employees/friends speaks to that he is good businessman having likely funds or insurance ready for situations like this.
@@matthewsaari6577 yep, insurance is not a safety net for the carless but for thoes who know their stuff but somehow have a laps and an incadent happens. even a jobless lazy bum that i am knows this
Craig is a novice driver who was tired after a long day trimming hooves. It is such an easy mistake to make. The Appleton is built to cope with bulls trying to break out so is robust. Do send Appletons the video of the crash and another showing how well their work survived, please! They can use it as proof of how well made their crushes are and worth every cent!
@@helenfitch3440 agree...what an idiot..if you watch closely you can see that when the front wheels of the truck go over the curb his body sways from side to side so he must of been aware he had gone over something..me thinks he put he's foot down..
I’m sure Craig was feeling nervous, scared, frustrated, angry and downright devastated. Graeme you handled it amazingly. Way to be encouraging and having Craig’s back and being so understanding. 👍👍
Awe, the crush just got a little character added with Craig's customization. I'm sure he just wanted to curl up and cry when it happened but he handled the recovery well. Some days just suck and you just have to deal with it. A little bright orange paint on the edge of that step would be helpful for people visiting that farm.
@@kimberly_erin Yes, absolutely. Farms can be pretty dangerous... obviously you can say to pay more attention but humans can't always, the best is to make it as safe as possible.
My heart just sank when I first watched this. I too felt so bad for Craig. The way it was all handled by both Craig and Graeme is a testament to your friendship and both of you as human beings. One of the reasons why I like both of your channels! I am so happy no one was hurt!
Poor Craig. If this were in Australia, you wouldn't live this one down. It would be fondly remembered and you'd likely be ribbbed for it intermittently. You did a great job and you're lucky your boss is a level headed bloke. Hoof'n on the pair of ya. A team only performs as a reflection of it's leadership. Craig has a good teacher.
I'm not surprised that this happened. There´s no indication that there is a step there, and from the driver's position he would have just seen an expanse of grey, no warning signs, no paint to mark the danger. What was the farmer's reaction? Farms are notoriously dangerous places: this was an accident waiting to happen. I hope the farm makes some changes, it would not be difficult to make it safer. Full marks to Craig for a great week!
yeah, I was looking at that edge same way. It costs next to nothing to stick red plastic indicator posts on it. It costs only a bit more to to install a metal stopper bar so wheels cant go off. I assume tractors drive that ramp... They roll over MUCH easier than pickups do, are VERY expensive and and unlike crushes do contain people.
@@Joe-kx7bl Private property. The contractor is responsible for a site inspection before starting work. Also, this is why people carry insurance. No need to throw blame around.
Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed: all same color, driving into the sun (so no shadows) with no apparent markings, plus a right-hand drive vehicle so Craig had the whole hood between him and the drop; throw in some fatigue and "end-of-the-day-itis"...I could easily have made a similar mistake. I understand Craig was standing next to the drop to clean the crush, but just because you see a hazard in one context doesn't necessarily mean you internalize the hazard in a different context, even if the two are only seconds apart. The fact that it's a known hazard that hasn't gotten fixed...the medic in me is just shaking his head. I know the farmer doesn't want to hurt someone, and I know this is all inadvertent and unintentional, but...I've seen similar minor issues turn tragic. I hope that all of the parties involved take it as a learning experience, rather than just a reason to rag on poor Craigy, and I'm glad nobody got hurt this time.
Wow! That was a dangerous drop off with no warning. I'm sure that was very traumatic for Craigie Boy. Graeme is a great boss and friend. Thankfully no one was injured.
I would've crapped myself 20 times over. Congratulations to Craig on doing such an amazing work all week and much respect to Graham for being so supportive.
That there is the difference between a great employer and just a “boss”. That was handled wonderfully. I am proud of all involved. So glad to see that you all work be up and running, just like the cows! It was another “white line issue”.
I'm so glad no one was hurt and the crush wasn't ruined. Accidents happen, but as long as no one is hurt then things can be mended. It's so amazing to see Craig becoming so confident with his trimming! He's come so far and I can't wait to continue to see his growth!
I thinkin' the funniest part was the liquid coming out (hydraulic fluid perhaps?) of the tipped crush was reddish. It truly looked as if poor Craigy-boye did indeed wound the Appleton.
Poor Craig!!!! 😮You did such a fine job all week!!! 😊Yes accidents happen. 😢I m so glad it turned out well and Bless you Graeme for your kind outlook!!! It is a true learning experience 😊
I think Craig did well! Except with the crush….I really feel for a raid he looked devastated! It’s a testament to what a great boss you are Graham that you were so chill about it.
Craig, a year from now it won’t seem as bad as it does now. Graeme, you’re such a gracious and kind man. You know how bad Craig feels. Maybe off camera you weren’t so forgiving….no, I believe you were. I believe you are that good hearted. And that’s one mistake Craig won’t make again. What a good lesson for us all! Be kind to one another. Thanks to you both for taking care of the cows 🐄. Thanks for sharing!
2 reasons why I enjoyed this video: it was longer than 15 minutes, second is Craig did a good job. You can tell he has passion for his job too. Please give us longer videos even I'd it is just normal trims. I enjoy watching the whole process regardless if the cow has a problem or not. Thanks Graham, much love from Iowa in the United States.
OUCH! No one was hurt, the cows were not injured...all good! The Crush....not so much but Craig these things happen. We always learn from our mistakes...I bet it never happens again. Hang in there and keep trimming. 👍🥰
I feel sorry for Craig, Murphy’s Law. After this accident I hope measures are put in place so it doesn’t happen to anyone else, it doesn’t have to be fancy, just a warning about the drop. After a few near misses in the past this could have been addressed earlier. Keep the faith Craig, I am so glad you have a wonderful relationship with Graham. 👍🥂
@@joem5332 That is very unfair. It isn't stupidity! The farm should be responsible for providing a warning at the very least. I am assuming they have vendors and equipment going in and out of that barn daily. At some point there are going to be people that are not familiar with everything in there! That drop could very well be in a blind spot and if you are unfamiliar with the building or just unfamiliar with DRIVING in the building, heck even walking(lol), an accident like that can happen. A warning of some sort needs to be posted.
@@missyscaletta5446 no..they really aren't responsible for providing a warning... It's private property they don't HAVE TO adhere to anything like that. I agree it was an accident and that does not equate to stupidity, but the farm really doesn't have to have warnings for such things. If i have a ramp in my yard I don't have to have warning signs and stickers all over. Yes I should inform anyone doing work in the yard but I'm not obligated to do even that much let alone more. They knew the step was there and even said as much, but accidents happen and you can never fully account for such things. (and before you say...lets assume they mark the area, if someone still goes off must they then add guard rails? and if that's not enough change the layout to remove the step? Maybe even build a small wall that potentially gets in the way of equipment?)
Considering how much time the farmer lost, getting the crush picked up and all, I think he might at least put some pylons around the step to warn the drivers of the drop off and guide them toward the ramp. If only to avoid the wasted time in the future let alone the chance of someone being injured or killed. Frankly, I'm surprised that the truck wasn't damaged.
@@joem5332 All they had to do was put a simple fence or stone pillars along the edge to see that there was a drop. It should of been installed when that ramp and ledge was poured in the first place. Huge miscalculation on the farms behalf
The Japanese have a saying, “Even monkeys fall from trees.” Well done Craig - dealing with everything going wrong at the most unexpected time - & looking forward to watching more episodes!
And a Chinese proverb that roughly translates to “even old, wily cats can end up with burnt whiskers” that means something similar! Interesting to know these similarities!
Graham you are such a good person and wonderful boss. Most people would be upset at possible damages, and you were very positive and supportive through everything. People follow you for more than just your hoof trimming, it’s your awesome personality as well.
No one was physically hurt! If the person watching has ever pulled a trailer, they understand exactly how and what happened to poor Craig! It's hard to remember there's a trailer following if you're not used to pulling them! I've driven farm equipment and pulled trailers of all sorts around the farm since I was 12 (and could reach the pedals)... Never had a trailer spill over on the side of a ramp, but I've seen others that have.
Moreover, it's a right hand drive 4x4. From Craig's POV coupled with the vehicle height, there was probably no way he saw the step until it was too late.
At least he didn't drop a fully loaded 53 foot, 5 axle flatbed trailer loaded with coiled steel wire like that... I saw it happen once... It was TERRIFYING since the coils of steel didn't stay coiled and went flying like Demonic 4,000 Lbs. Slinky's...
Graeme you are such a wonderful role model!! Someone in my house demolished the top of food processor and I was going to hop ballistic on the family but I stopped to watch this. The fact that you're able to be so calm and forgiving about the crush being damaged makes me ashamed of how I was being overly upset by a simple kitchen appliance. Thanks for putting things into perspective. Cheers.
Oh poor Craigie Boy! What an absolutely mortifying experience. Hopefully the farm considers painting that ledge so it's more visible! He's been excellent covering while you're gone, and his trimming looks lovely! Seems like the main thing he has left to grow is his confidence by doing exactly what he has been this past week or so! Trimming is certainly one of those skills that gets to a point where you just have to get out there and do TONS of it, see hundreds of thousands of feet, and deal with all the differences and issues that come up. Life goes on Craig, you'll be forever paranoid about your driving route on farm, but you very likely won't get caught by a well disguised step again. You have a lovely boss who is very understanding, and lots more cows who need your assistance keeping comfortable and sound!
It’s ok Craigie Boy! Accidents do happen. And you handles it so well. I’m so proud of you. Even when you’re under pressure you stayed calm and got the help you needed. Keep up the amazing work. Being thrown into the deep end of the pool where you sink or swim, you are swimming like a pro! Much love from Texas. 👍🏽😁
Thankful everyone is well and safe. Can replace equipment. People, well, another story. Handled the situation quite well, Graham. Craig, accidents happen. Learn and move forward. You've done an amazing job substituting for Graham. You have to know he truly appreciates you and your work ethic. Irreplaceable.
It’s okay Craig, the first time i took people to tour our farm by myself the donkey and mini horse got out, the gator went through the fence, one of my coworkers was almost electrocuted by the electric fence, and our highland steer came charging at us. But my boss wasn’t mad so it made the whole situation a million times better. Good on you Graham for being so kind and understanding to Ole Craigy Boy✨
Graham, you are an incredibly kind person/employer!! If all people could realize they're not perfect & they makes mistakes, too, this world would be a nicer place!! God bless you!!
I think that farmer could do well to get some bright orange paint and go on the edge of that step. Or black and yellow stripes? Something eye catching, touch it up every few years.
1:13 "I'm just a hoof trimmer in Scotland, living a simple life, trimming cows every day and owning a hot Mclaren car!" :) The Hoof GP really has been treating you well, Graham :)
What a relief that the crush is not too badly damaged! Whew! Hugs, Craig! Stuff happens. Deep breaths, and you'll be fine. That's what insurance is for.
Craig, s**t happens to everybody and it’s just part of life - you learn a lesson and move on. Luckily no one was injured and there is no serious damage to the crush. We love you and look forward to seeing you and Graeme working side by side to improve the lives and comfort of cattle.
That is an inherently dangerous step down and honestly they should’ve had at the very minimum a small curb there and it should’ve been painted caution yellow. Honestly you’re probably not the first one who’s done that and you sure won’t be the last if they don’t make some changes
@@Edna2u You can tell all the people that dont spend much time on a farm in the comments, talking about reflectors and yellow paint. Theyd be spending more on yellow paint touch ups than feed.
Holy crap!! I feel so sorry for Creigy Boy. That was a heart sinker. Luckily, no one was hurt, and the crush survived. Just remember how good a job you did on the hoof trimming. 😊 🇨🇦
Thank the Lord no one was hurt! That’s the most important part! Nice work, Craigieboy! Glad to have the dynamic duo back together again. Sending positive thoughts and love from snowy Wyoming!
Oh Craigie-boy……I could see how devastated you were when you got out of the truck and saw the crush. Props to the farmer for having such amazing equipment and the skills needed to operate it. Graeme, thank you for being such a great boss/friend. You knew how bad he felt and were only concerned with their well-being. On to the next day………🐄❤️🐄 As far as the hoof trimming, I noticed that Graeme seems to do a deeper mottling out. Is that the case or am I seeing things?
he aired on the side of caution, it was never “he took too much” it was “he could have taken more” which is smart! he knew better than to go too far. very professional. A+ for me!
You really handled that like a Don,,,,, it was an accident, no one was hurt,,,and it can be fixed,,, I can imagine how devastated he was when it happened,,,, what a boss 🙏
Ah Craig, we have all had something like this happen to us and we feel for you. I was amused though to see red fluid coming out of the crush and it looked like the crush was bleeding! lol I'm sure it was hydraulic fluid or something but it looked like blood. lol Thanks to the farmers who set it upright! You're doing fine, Craigie boy, and Graeme has taught you well! Awesome to see Graeme teaching his son the business! Cheers!
You could paint a caution sign on the concrete ground just before the 2 foot ledge. They also sell plastic collapsible barrier bollards that are attached to the ground and are hinged at the base to allow them to lay down if you should accidentally drive over them.
You need to send this video to Appleton Steel and ask them if they'll sponsor you since you can show how incredibly tough their crushes really are. I'm so happy that no one was hurt.
Oh poor Craig, many of us have had accidents while driving, the main thing is noone was hurt (apart from the crush) and you now have hopefully learnt to give that turning a wider turn 😊
👍👍 I feel badly for Craig because he is such a conscientious guy and I know what it feels like when something goes wrong. You have come a long way Craig. “Lesson learned” and move on. 😁❤️
Well Craig, between you and Kevin, you were doing well remembering long lists of "to do" and "how to cope" things. Nice how well you are at being functional with hoof trimming practical knowledge. Sorry you were the one that caught the trouble spot at that farm. (Maybe you go help them plant some warning posts? :) ) Thank you to all the farm people who made time to help sort things out. I did have the feeling that Appleton Steel makes such good equipment, that the crush was likely to be fine. Glad that turned out to be the case. Thanks to all that made it "just something to set right" and back to "crack on".
I love watching Craig trim and go over his thought process. It feels like we're learning along with him! I think he's doing a great job with these cows and I'm so happy to see anyone who cares for them as much as you two do.
This is exactly the kind of thing that just never happens when the boss is around. Sods law, every single time lol. Graigs custom crush conversion service.
By the look of it, he wasn't the first one to flip a trailer over there. But I feel with him, I know the stomach sinking feeling of calling your boss and tell s/he that you have possible destroyed some expensive work equipment
Graham, you have to be the most understanding, awesome boss to work with. This why I love watching your videos. Craig, you are one lucky man. So glad you guys were not injured.
Graham you’re a great boss and good man. Craig felt bad and rather than be a stern boss you did him with kindness. Craig, you handled the whole situation very well and great trimming also.
I'm so happy to see his confidence continues to grow and he will continue to improve as time goes on and Craig things happen it was an accident not on purpose it's going to be okay as long as no one or animal was harmed so chin up buddy you'll be okay. Thank you for going easy on him Graham because it could have happened to anyone.
I'm so happy everyone is safe and unhurt. You have now officially graduated from the program ☺️ nice job keeping a cool head and handling the situation. Awesome job Boss, being so supportive and reassuring Craig. Your growing relationship is so awesome to watch!
So Craigie boy crashed the crush... and he is doing great at those hoof-trimmings! It's nice to see the positive way you guys handled the tragedy! I love how your team, even working hard in the muck, do it with such love and gratitude. You are inspiring!
Craig does so well. Love your attitude Graham. And Craig - this is what happens when the boss hogs all the driving and the farmer doesn't have a safety barrier or sign. If the crush had been more damaged, then it should be covered by insurance. All up, lucky for everyone with no injuries and only minor damage and entertaining for the viewers.
What an amazing boss you are for being so understanding with your staff! Can I just please as an engineer ask to have safety bollards installed at that ramp on the farm in the future so this never has to happen to someone else again. I am very impressed with the design of your crush, and how well it held up to the accident, and best of luck to you all, keep you the fantastic work guys! Watching from Australia.
What an understanding boss/friend Graeme is! We've all had accidents...but when the other person is as kind as Graeme, it certainly takes away some of the sting. Craig, you're doing a great job! My daddy always said, "It'll be all right." 😊😊😊😊😊
Anybody else notice the McLaren 600LT Apex in the beginning next to the donut tire tracks on the floor @ 1:12 😂 and I'm fairly certain I've seen Graeme with a Merc AMG GT-R in front of his house in a past video as well. Hoof trimming and this TH-cam channel must pay very very well. Great to see you're all well compensated for your invaluable work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Keep it up boys 👍🏼
I am so glad there were no injuries. You both are professionals and accidents happen to the best of us! Glad you are safe and am looking forward to your next video from the Hoof GP and Craig!
Graeme...you are awesome! What a wonderful friend and brother-in-law you are! Craig...my heart was breaking for you as you've done such a marvelous job on your own, and to have this boo-boo happen at the very last was so upsetting, BUT...it sounds like you all have everything figured out for now...so...on to more trimming! :)
Oh my gosh Craig!! Don't feel so bad and you're certainly not an idiot... Looking at that area and seeing where you were coming from easy, so easy to miss that ramp like that. This is one of those things that you do once and never again! Hugs!!
Such an admirable and inspiring reaction to what must've felt like an absolutely devastating event in the moment. No harsh judgement, just a very rational and incredibly humane response to a very unfortunate accident. Lots of love and understanding on display here. Cheers, gents.
Aw, Craig, that is rough. As Graeme said though nobody got hurt and that’s what’s important. You did a great job while Graeme was on holiday. Try not to let this discourage you.
credit to your calm and professional attitude. don't worry Craig, you ain't the first, you won't be the last, and it's just a learning curve.. .thankfully no one was hurt.
Gentlemen, as so many have said, thank goodness no one was hurt and equipment can be repaired. Agriculture is a dangerous line of work, and Craig, you did a masterful job all through Graeme's time away. Years from now this will be a great story for the kids. It's wonderful to see you all support and encourage one another. God Bless!
I love how the humour still present :) that's what makes for a great boss and what's more, a partner in the trimming business! Don't be too hard on yourself Craig, it's not like this has happened every month or something. I totally get it though, how it doesn't feel too bad lol even that ledge in general. Its a trick of lighting, perception, everything. You're still an awesome trimmer Craig! Keep on givin'er! Lots of love from Canada! 🫶🏽✌🏽
The main part is that no humans (besides a bruised ego) or animals were injured. Things can be fixed. Everyone has had an Oops moment.
Craigie and Kev are alright. The Crush is still working, The Trimming will continue! Glad youre safe guys!
Forgetting the crush incident for a minute - Craig;s commentary to the camera are natural, conversational and informative.
Accidents happen. I thought you handled it with incredible calm. Most people would have been screaming, cussing or crying - you may have been screaming at yourself inside, but you were totally professional during the whole thing. Tip of the hat to you!
The first thing my da said after my first accident was, “Are you ok.”
And then, “Don’t worry - it’s just metal - that’s what insurance is for.”
So glad you’re all ok.
A supportive boss is hard to find and this is exactly how you should handle accidents. Getting angry never helps the situation and fosters an environment of fear. The safety of our guys is all that matters. Good on you!!
And THAT, my friends, is what business insurance is for. Stuff to equipment happens. Kudos to the farmers for the awesome tag team righting of the crush.
Actually it was interesting, watching all the big expensive things the farm has to have. They must always be hiding. Sure did step up the respect for the owners and workers at the farms.
I thought that too, the farm workers came in with the digger and other machinery and managed to right the crush without making it worse or causing any more damage. Good job.
I thought the recovery was lacking, myself. They picked it up from the bottom first, and dragged it across its top and made the roof worse? Why would they do that?
@@dethmaul The chassis of the crush is the strongest part, it was the only way to lift it without causing way worse damage. It's a heavy piece of equipment and metal likes to bend and even snap under pressure. The way they did it was the only way to do it without destroying the entire thing. The roof may be gone but everything else about it is in perfectly good working order. If one of the doors or mechanisms to hold the cow was damaged the crush wouldnt be able to be used at all. Better a roof that isn't important to the structure or function than the entire thing being broken.
And judging by the other bit of kit in Graham’s garage, he can afford the deductible.
Craig, there's that awful gut wrenching anger when something like this happens. No one was hurt and you can laugh about it later, keep trimming buddy!
It truly hurts me when I see him making that instant coffee. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
same!😂
OMG
Man needs to get a French press! Even make travel press for when our at the farms. If you’ve got time for tea to steep, you’ve got time for coffee to steep in a press. Espro makes an absolutely amazing double wall insulated travel press.
Everybody should have a boss like you!
Craig, to put things into perspective, I keenly recall Graeme trying to drive the crush through his garage door only a few weeks ago.
I was thinking the same thing!! Lok
LMAO
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just LOVE how you have Craig's back in this event, and just generally too. It's a credit to you that you fully understand and embrace the importance of a safe, secure, non-judgemental setting for others when they are learning, which in turn enhances the learning environment and ensures learning opportunities are maximised. You even turned this incident into a learning opportunity. Well done Graham, you should be very proud.
first off, how lovely was the farm where everyone came together to get it back upright!! Also Graeme you must be the best father. Everyone could learn a lesson for you in how to handle stress and things going wrong. Nothing to do if it's an accident but everyone gather to help make things better! Everyone feels better when tempers are kept and everyone helps to make it right.
Craig, that little error at the end of your week doesn't take away from the fact that you did an AWESOME job trimming hooves. It's understandable to feel silly after making a mistake, but you made more of an impact on the cows (for the better) than the crush.
I'm so glad that your relationship is so trusting and healthy with your employees that you didn't yell or act upset. We can all strive to be more like GP!
The crush is repairable. Craig and your brother not so much. I’m glad no cows or hoof trimmers were harmed in the making of this video.
And Craig, job well done to handle a literal bump in the road. You got help to right the crush and assessed the damage. All in a days work for a businessman.
Poor Craig! I would have been in tears and just a mess. Letting your boss down like that, even if everyone tells you that they would have done the same thing, it was an honest accident and not to feel bad....it feels soooo mortifying. Craig, hat off to you, and thanks Graeham for being so kind about it
Don't know enough to know how the trims are but I remember back when Craig only did one hoof a cow and had Grahame check it each time so regardless of the trim it's great to see he's built up his confidence and skills so much.
Nicely handled Graham, a fantastic attitude! Craig shouldn’t feel too bad if others have went over there…maybe some bright yellow paint on the edge be good 😉
I totally agree. "sounds like he doesn't mind, but I mind" from Craigie Boy said it all.
Great idea, bright yellow paint, easy and cheap.
There should have been a marker or steel pipes there to show that drop It's a danger waiting to happen don't understand why it is there in the first place The crush can be fixed but what if there was someone standing there Farm safety always not just for the cattle Could have been a lot worse
... And add those plastic poles (that will bend) so drivers can see that step. It wasn't just Craig, the farm should fix that drop off. The driver can't see it from their vantage point.
Sorry but I don't agree here, yeah yellow paint and all that would help. But situational awareness would be far more important . Driving that jeep with a 4 tonne trailer in the wrong hands could be an absolute death trap, that's why they brought out trailer driving tests.
And to drive of the edge of a 2 foot drop and say you didn't see it ?? Sorry I would say that is where the main problem lies.
I now expect to get abuse for not following the awk it wasn't your fault Craigy boy line. But then Farms are dangerous and farm machinery even more so, and knowing that a child was killed when an empty horse box toppled and crushed them, I'll take the abuse as long as one person takes heed of what I said.
In all honesty, I’ve seen people do worse who have been driving the same place for years. Accidents happen. That’s what insurance is for. Graham is a great, supportive boss and I have enormous respect for both of you. Well done, boys
@@Joe-kx7bl well as a 55 year old woman, I’m gonna say sure, I still drive on mummy’s insurance. What an idiot.
@@Joe-kx7bl your reply makes no sense.
@@XavierAway Some people just look for things to argue/complain about, and it colors how they interpret some of the most innocuous things.
He was saying insurance is for accidents like this, which should still be rare. No one is suggesting Craig threw caution to the wind knowing he had insurance. He just made a mistake and a business should carry insurance or set funds aside since it's foreseeable accidents will happen one day. So it's perfectly correct to say "this is what insurance is for" it's to manage risk to company assets if loss would be detrimental to the company.
The fact the owner immediately was not too worried about the equipment just about safety of employees/friends speaks to that he is good businessman having likely funds or insurance ready for situations like this.
@@matthewsaari6577 yep, insurance is not a safety net for the carless but for thoes who know their stuff but somehow have a laps and an incadent happens. even a jobless lazy bum that i am knows this
Craig is a novice driver who was tired after a long day trimming hooves. It is such an easy mistake to make. The Appleton is built to cope with bulls trying to break out so is robust. Do send Appletons the video of the crash and another showing how well their work survived, please! They can use it as proof of how well made their crushes are and worth every cent!
Great idea!!!!
Love how the excuses come flying out to cover someone's arse.
@@helenfitch3440 agree...what an idiot..if you watch closely you can see that when the front wheels of the truck go over the curb his body sways from side to side so he must of been aware he had gone over something..me thinks he put he's foot down..
They may repair it just for the advertising.
Could a replacement roof be ordered?
I’m sure Craig was feeling nervous, scared, frustrated, angry and downright devastated. Graeme you handled it amazingly. Way to be encouraging and having Craig’s back and being so understanding. 👍👍
Awe, the crush just got a little character added with Craig's customization. I'm sure he just wanted to curl up and cry when it happened but he handled the recovery well. Some days just suck and you just have to deal with it. A little bright orange paint on the edge of that step would be helpful for people visiting that farm.
Yes! They really should mark that curb. No one was injured this time but it sounds like the farm are pressing their luck
@@kimberly_erin Yes, absolutely. Farms can be pretty dangerous... obviously you can say to pay more attention but humans can't always, the best is to make it as safe as possible.
My heart just sank when I first watched this. I too felt so bad for Craig. The way it was all handled by both Craig and Graeme is a testament to your friendship and both of you as human beings. One of the reasons why I like both of your channels! I am so happy no one was hurt!
Craig has his own channel? Could you drop the name for me please? I’d like to follow.
@@tabithaingram6990 craigie boy is his channel name
@@tabithaingram6990 search for craigie boy on TH-cam behind the scenes of the hoof gp. It's great
Poor Craig. If this were in Australia, you wouldn't live this one down. It would be fondly remembered and you'd likely be ribbbed for it intermittently. You did a great job and you're lucky your boss is a level headed bloke. Hoof'n on the pair of ya. A team only performs as a reflection of it's leadership. Craig has a good teacher.
They might even write a song about it for future generations xx
There would be no need for the crush in the first place
@@helenfitch3440 so you trim your cows without a crush?🤔🤦
Oh it WILL be brought up on occasion, the Scottish sense of humour just won't allow it to be forgotten 🤣🤣
He’d probably get a new nickname like “Tipsy” or “Stepper” or something
I'm not surprised that this happened. There´s no indication that there is a step there, and from the driver's position he would have just seen an expanse of grey, no warning signs, no paint to mark the danger. What was the farmer's reaction? Farms are notoriously dangerous places: this was an accident waiting to happen. I hope the farm makes some changes, it would not be difficult to make it safer. Full marks to Craig for a great week!
yeah, I was looking at that edge same way. It costs next to nothing to stick red plastic indicator posts on it. It costs only a bit more to to install a metal stopper bar so wheels cant go off. I assume tractors drive that ramp... They roll over MUCH easier than pickups do, are VERY expensive and and unlike crushes do contain people.
@@Joe-kx7bl Private property. The contractor is responsible for a site inspection before starting work. Also, this is why people carry insurance. No need to throw blame around.
Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed: all same color, driving into the sun (so no shadows) with no apparent markings, plus a right-hand drive vehicle so Craig had the whole hood between him and the drop; throw in some fatigue and "end-of-the-day-itis"...I could easily have made a similar mistake. I understand Craig was standing next to the drop to clean the crush, but just because you see a hazard in one context doesn't necessarily mean you internalize the hazard in a different context, even if the two are only seconds apart.
The fact that it's a known hazard that hasn't gotten fixed...the medic in me is just shaking his head. I know the farmer doesn't want to hurt someone, and I know this is all inadvertent and unintentional, but...I've seen similar minor issues turn tragic. I hope that all of the parties involved take it as a learning experience, rather than just a reason to rag on poor Craigy, and I'm glad nobody got hurt this time.
OTHER THEN THE DROP ..........
Even a bit of yellow paint to indicate the edge.
Wow! That was a dangerous drop off with no warning. I'm sure that was very traumatic for Craigie Boy. Graeme is a great boss and friend. Thankfully no one was injured.
I would've crapped myself 20 times over. Congratulations to Craig on doing such an amazing work all week and much respect to Graham for being so supportive.
That there is the difference between a great employer and just a “boss”. That was handled wonderfully. I am proud of all involved. So glad to see that you all work be up and running, just like the cows! It was another “white line issue”.
I'm so glad no one was hurt and the crush wasn't ruined. Accidents happen, but as long as no one is hurt then things can be mended.
It's so amazing to see Craig becoming so confident with his trimming! He's come so far and I can't wait to continue to see his growth!
I thinkin' the funniest part was the liquid coming out (hydraulic fluid perhaps?) of the tipped crush was reddish. It truly looked as if poor Craigy-boye did indeed wound the Appleton.
* Totally hydro fluid pink, like trans fluid color. *
I figured it was an iodine bottle, lol
Poor Craig!!!! 😮You did such a fine job all week!!! 😊Yes accidents happen. 😢I m so glad it turned out well and Bless you Graeme for your kind outlook!!! It is a true learning experience 😊
I love y'all's relationship. Some family cannot work together. You're family through marriage but the love and encouragement is just as real.
These things happen - that's what insurance is for! (Graeme seems like a sensible guy, so I'm assuming he's well insured.)
I think Craig did well! Except with the crush….I really feel for a raid he looked devastated! It’s a testament to what a great boss you are Graham that you were so chill about it.
Craig, a year from now it won’t seem as bad as it does now. Graeme, you’re such a gracious and kind man. You know how bad Craig feels. Maybe off camera you weren’t so forgiving….no, I believe you were. I believe you are that good hearted. And that’s one mistake Craig won’t make again. What a good lesson for us all! Be kind to one another. Thanks to you both for taking care of the cows 🐄. Thanks for sharing!
2 reasons why I enjoyed this video: it was longer than 15 minutes, second is Craig did a good job. You can tell he has passion for his job too. Please give us longer videos even I'd it is just normal trims. I enjoy watching the whole process regardless if the cow has a problem or not. Thanks Graham, much love from Iowa in the United States.
OUCH! No one was hurt, the cows were not injured...all good! The Crush....not so much but Craig these things happen. We always learn from our mistakes...I bet it never happens again. Hang in there and keep trimming. 👍🥰
As my 4 yr old grandson says ‘accidents happen’ usually after he’s broken Something 😂 But you’ve done a great job Craig 👍🏻
I feel sorry for Craig, Murphy’s Law. After this accident I hope measures are put in place so it doesn’t happen to anyone else, it doesn’t have to be fancy, just a warning about the drop. After a few near misses in the past this could have been addressed earlier. Keep the faith Craig, I am so glad you have a wonderful relationship with Graham. 👍🥂
You don’t have to put measures in place for stupidity it can’t be done. Both guys should have been more aware of their surroundings.
@@joem5332 That is very unfair. It isn't stupidity! The farm should be responsible for providing a warning at the very least. I am assuming they have vendors and equipment going in and out of that barn daily. At some point there are going to be people that are not familiar with everything in there!
That drop could very well be in a blind spot and if you are unfamiliar with the building or just unfamiliar with DRIVING in the building, heck even walking(lol), an accident like that can happen. A warning of some sort needs to be posted.
@@missyscaletta5446 no..they really aren't responsible for providing a warning... It's private property they don't HAVE TO adhere to anything like that. I agree it was an accident and that does not equate to stupidity, but the farm really doesn't have to have warnings for such things. If i have a ramp in my yard I don't have to have warning signs and stickers all over. Yes I should inform anyone doing work in the yard but I'm not obligated to do even that much let alone more. They knew the step was there and even said as much, but accidents happen and you can never fully account for such things. (and before you say...lets assume they mark the area, if someone still goes off must they then add guard rails? and if that's not enough change the layout to remove the step? Maybe even build a small wall that potentially gets in the way of equipment?)
Considering how much time the farmer lost, getting the crush picked up and all, I think he might at least put some pylons around the step to warn the drivers of the drop off and guide them toward the ramp. If only to avoid the wasted time in the future let alone the chance of someone being injured or killed. Frankly, I'm surprised that the truck wasn't damaged.
@@joem5332 All they had to do was put a simple fence or stone pillars along the edge to see that there was a drop. It should of been installed when that ramp and ledge was poured in the first place. Huge miscalculation on the farms behalf
The Japanese have a saying, “Even monkeys fall from trees.” Well done Craig - dealing with everything going wrong at the most unexpected time - & looking forward to watching more episodes!
And a Chinese proverb that roughly translates to “even old, wily cats can end up with burnt whiskers” that means something similar! Interesting to know these similarities!
You two never cease to shock me at how amazing of a team and support network you are for each other. I envy you.
Graham you are such a good person and wonderful boss. Most people would be upset at possible damages, and you were very positive and supportive through everything. People follow you for more than just your hoof trimming, it’s your awesome personality as well.
No one was physically hurt! If the person watching has ever pulled a trailer, they understand exactly how and what happened to poor Craig! It's hard to remember there's a trailer following if you're not used to pulling them! I've driven farm equipment and pulled trailers of all sorts around the farm since I was 12 (and could reach the pedals)... Never had a trailer spill over on the side of a ramp, but I've seen others that have.
Moreover, it's a right hand drive 4x4. From Craig's POV coupled with the vehicle height, there was probably no way he saw the step until it was too late.
Hear hear! Pulling a trailer is NOT for the faint of heart, and mistakes will be made. Well handled Craig and thank you for being gentle Graham.
At least he didn't drop a fully loaded 53 foot, 5 axle flatbed trailer loaded with coiled steel wire like that...
I saw it happen once...
It was TERRIFYING since the coils of steel didn't stay coiled and went flying like Demonic 4,000 Lbs. Slinky's...
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan WOW! Now that's a dangerous, and life threatening situation. Yikes!
Stuff like this is why I *refuse* to drive while pulling a trailer. I have a hard enough time keeping track of everything with just the *car.*
Poor Craig...can’t even imagine how he feels...glad no one was hurt
Graeme you are such a wonderful role model!! Someone in my house demolished the top of food processor and I was going to hop ballistic on the family but I stopped to watch this. The fact that you're able to be so calm and forgiving about the crush being damaged makes me ashamed of how I was being overly upset by a simple kitchen appliance. Thanks for putting things into perspective. Cheers.
Oh My Gosh!!! Yes!!! People, me included, can put too much on “things”. This is a perfect example of trust, confidence and grace on Graeme’s part.
Craig has such a sweet soul. He always makes me smile!
Oh poor Craigie Boy! What an absolutely mortifying experience. Hopefully the farm considers painting that ledge so it's more visible! He's been excellent covering while you're gone, and his trimming looks lovely! Seems like the main thing he has left to grow is his confidence by doing exactly what he has been this past week or so! Trimming is certainly one of those skills that gets to a point where you just have to get out there and do TONS of it, see hundreds of thousands of feet, and deal with all the differences and issues that come up. Life goes on Craig, you'll be forever paranoid about your driving route on farm, but you very likely won't get caught by a well disguised step again. You have a lovely boss who is very understanding, and lots more cows who need your assistance keeping comfortable and sound!
It’s ok Craigie Boy! Accidents do happen. And you handles it so well. I’m so proud of you. Even when you’re under pressure you stayed calm and got the help you needed. Keep up the amazing work. Being thrown into the deep end of the pool where you sink or swim, you are swimming like a pro! Much love from Texas. 👍🏽😁
Definitely felt for you when you came round to see the damage. The hands to the head said it all. Things can only get better xx
Thankful everyone is well and safe. Can replace equipment. People, well, another story. Handled the situation quite well, Graham. Craig, accidents happen. Learn and move forward. You've done an amazing job substituting for Graham. You have to know he truly appreciates you and your work ethic. Irreplaceable.
It’s okay Craig, the first time i took people to tour our farm by myself the donkey and mini horse got out, the gator went through the fence, one of my coworkers was almost electrocuted by the electric fence, and our highland steer came charging at us. But my boss wasn’t mad so it made the whole situation a million times better. Good on you Graham for being so kind and understanding to Ole Craigy Boy✨
Graham, you are an incredibly kind person/employer!! If all people could realize they're not perfect & they makes mistakes, too, this world would be a nicer place!! God bless you!!
I think that farmer could do well to get some bright orange paint and go on the edge of that step. Or black and yellow stripes? Something eye catching, touch it up every few years.
10:03. Hands on head is priceless!
We've all been there in one way or another, except most of us don't have 2 million close friends to share it with.
1:13 "I'm just a hoof trimmer in Scotland, living a simple life, trimming cows every day and owning a hot Mclaren car!" :)
The Hoof GP really has been treating you well, Graham :)
I wondered if i was the only one that noticed. "Yea, we're just gonna walk right past this McLaren in the barn and not even mention it"
That's what you tube can do for you
It was photoshopped in 😉😉
Good on ya if you're driving your dream car , you in my opinion have truly earnt it , not many put up withe pus blood , manure , early starts ...
Bruh that bitch just popped out of nowhere like "hey guys, ready to go trim some cows?"
What a relief that the crush is not too badly damaged! Whew! Hugs, Craig! Stuff happens. Deep breaths, and you'll be fine. That's what insurance is for.
I'm glad nobody was hurt. Of all the places for that to happen, it's handy to have the machines there that can get it upright again!
Craig, s**t happens to everybody and it’s just part of life - you learn a lesson and move on. Luckily no one was injured and there is no serious damage to the crush. We love you and look forward to seeing you and Graeme working side by side to improve the lives and comfort of cattle.
That is an inherently dangerous step down and honestly they should’ve had at the very minimum a small curb there and it should’ve been painted caution yellow. Honestly you’re probably not the first one who’s done that and you sure won’t be the last if they don’t make some changes
Or when his first tire fell over two feet he could have stopped
There was yellow paint😅 its just covered in cow poo
@@Edna2u You can tell all the people that dont spend much time on a farm in the comments, talking about reflectors and yellow paint. Theyd be spending more on yellow paint touch ups than feed.
Holy crap!! I feel so sorry for Creigy Boy. That was a heart sinker. Luckily, no one was hurt, and the crush survived. Just remember how good a job you did on the hoof trimming. 😊 🇨🇦
Thank the Lord no one was hurt! That’s the most important part! Nice work, Craigieboy! Glad to have the dynamic duo back together again. Sending positive thoughts and love from snowy Wyoming!
Oh Craigie-boy……I could see how devastated you were when you got out of the truck and saw the crush. Props to the farmer for having such amazing equipment and the skills needed to operate it. Graeme, thank you for being such a great boss/friend. You knew how bad he felt and were only concerned with their well-being. On to the next day………🐄❤️🐄
As far as the hoof trimming, I noticed that Graeme seems to do a deeper mottling out. Is that the case or am I seeing things?
Everyone has ups and down, strikes and gutter balls. Craig, life is a garden, dig it. And Graham is a very good person.
he aired on the side of caution, it was never “he took too much” it was “he could have taken more” which is smart! he knew better than to go too far. very professional. A+ for me!
You are absolutely stellar in the way you handled this. I hope others can learn from you. Thanks for all you all do.
You really handled that like a Don,,,,, it was an accident, no one was hurt,,,and it can be fixed,,, I can imagine how devastated he was when it happened,,,, what a boss 🙏
Ah Craig, we have all had something like this happen to us and we feel for you. I was amused though to see red fluid coming out of the crush and it looked like the crush was bleeding! lol I'm sure it was hydraulic fluid or something but it looked like blood. lol Thanks to the farmers who set it upright! You're doing fine, Craigie boy, and Graeme has taught you well! Awesome to see Graeme teaching his son the business! Cheers!
I bet you it was their bottles of iodine 😂
@@alildaisy2180 Could have been the iodine bottle! 😃
You could paint a caution sign on the concrete ground just before the 2 foot ledge. They also sell plastic collapsible barrier bollards that are attached to the ground and are hinged at the base to allow them to lay down if you should accidentally drive over them.
You need to send this video to Appleton Steel and ask them if they'll sponsor you since you can show how incredibly tough their crushes really are. I'm so happy that no one was hurt.
Oh poor Craig, many of us have had accidents while driving, the main thing is noone was hurt (apart from the crush) and you now have hopefully learnt to give that turning a wider turn 😊
Thank God they were ok and it didn’t pull the truck over too. Things are never as important as our tribe ✝️🥰🙏🏼💛💛💛💛💛💛
👍👍 I feel badly for Craig because he is such a conscientious guy and I know what it feels like when something goes wrong. You have come a long way Craig. “Lesson learned” and move on. 😁❤️
Well Craig, between you and Kevin, you were doing well remembering long lists of "to do" and "how to cope" things. Nice how well you are at being functional with hoof trimming practical knowledge. Sorry you were the one that caught the trouble spot at that farm. (Maybe you go help them plant some warning posts? :) ) Thank you to all the farm people who made time to help sort things out. I did have the feeling that Appleton Steel makes such good equipment, that the crush was likely to be fine. Glad that turned out to be the case. Thanks to all that made it "just something to set right" and back to "crack on".
I love watching Craig trim and go over his thought process. It feels like we're learning along with him! I think he's doing a great job with these cows and I'm so happy to see anyone who cares for them as much as you two do.
This is exactly the kind of thing that just never happens when the boss is around. Sods law, every single time lol.
Graigs custom crush conversion service.
We all learned from this, luckily no injuries and minor damage to the crush. Super attitude of both you guys.
Keep on crushin’! 😎
This stuff happens, that’s why we have insurance! Glad everyone’s okay, and Craig should sign one of the roof dents so you can chuckle about it always
By the look of it, he wasn't the first one to flip a trailer over there. But I feel with him, I know the stomach sinking feeling of calling your boss and tell s/he that you have possible destroyed some expensive work equipment
Graham, you have to be the most understanding, awesome boss to work with. This why I love watching your videos. Craig, you are one lucky man. So glad you guys were not injured.
Graham you’re a great boss and good man. Craig felt bad and rather than be a stern boss you did him with kindness. Craig, you handled the whole situation very well and great trimming also.
Craig did well. He had an awesome teacher!❤️
I'm so happy to see his confidence continues to grow and he will continue to improve as time goes on and Craig things happen it was an accident not on purpose it's going to be okay as long as no one or animal was harmed so chin up buddy you'll be okay. Thank you for going easy on him Graham because it could have happened to anyone.
I'm so happy everyone is safe and unhurt. You have now officially graduated from the program ☺️ nice job keeping a cool head and handling the situation. Awesome job Boss, being so supportive and reassuring Craig. Your growing relationship is so awesome to watch!
Awe when I did not think I could live this channel any more. Well done Craig and Graham I pray my son grows up to be the man you are today.
Sending hugs to Craig! And all the hoof GP fellas, but Craig, my man, gets the biggest hugs. I feel that so hard. Cheers fellas.
So Craigie boy crashed the crush... and he is doing great at those hoof-trimmings! It's nice to see the positive way you guys handled the tragedy! I love how your team, even working hard in the muck, do it with such love and gratitude. You are inspiring!
Craig it’s not a test of how good you do at trimming but a test of how well Graeme taught you. It’s all how you look at it. Right?
Glad that the guys are okay. I can only imagine how Craig felt when that happened.
Craig does so well. Love your attitude Graham. And Craig - this is what happens when the boss hogs all the driving and the farmer doesn't have a safety barrier or sign. If the crush had been more damaged, then it should be covered by insurance. All up, lucky for everyone with no injuries and only minor damage and entertaining for the viewers.
What an amazing boss you are for being so understanding with your staff! Can I just please as an engineer ask to have safety bollards installed at that ramp on the farm in the future so this never has to happen to someone else again. I am very impressed with the design of your crush, and how well it held up to the accident, and best of luck to you all, keep you the fantastic work guys! Watching from Australia.
What an understanding boss/friend Graeme is! We've all had accidents...but when the other person is as kind as Graeme, it certainly takes away some of the sting. Craig, you're doing a great job! My daddy always said, "It'll be all right." 😊😊😊😊😊
Anybody else notice the McLaren 600LT Apex in the beginning next to the donut tire tracks on the floor @ 1:12 😂 and I'm fairly certain I've seen Graeme with a Merc AMG GT-R in front of his house in a past video as well. Hoof trimming and this TH-cam channel must pay very very well. Great to see you're all well compensated for your invaluable work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Keep it up boys 👍🏼
I am so glad there were no injuries. You both are professionals and accidents happen to the best of us! Glad you are safe and am looking forward to your next video from the Hoof GP and Craig!
Graeme...you are awesome! What a wonderful friend and brother-in-law you are! Craig...my heart was breaking for you as you've done such a marvelous job on your own, and to have this boo-boo happen at the very last was so upsetting, BUT...it sounds like you all have everything figured out for now...so...on to more trimming! :)
Oh my gosh Craig!! Don't feel so bad and you're certainly not an idiot... Looking at that area and seeing where you were coming from easy, so easy to miss that ramp like that. This is one of those things that you do once and never again! Hugs!!
Such an admirable and inspiring reaction to what must've felt like an absolutely devastating event in the moment. No harsh judgement, just a very rational and incredibly humane response to a very unfortunate accident. Lots of love and understanding on display here. Cheers, gents.
Aw, Craig, that is rough. As Graeme said though nobody got hurt and that’s what’s important. You did a great job while Graeme was on holiday. Try not to let this discourage you.
Nonchalantly walking past a McLaren like it's nothing lol
credit to your calm and professional attitude.
don't worry Craig,
you ain't the first, you won't be the last, and it's just a learning curve..
.thankfully no one was hurt.
Gentlemen, as so many have said, thank goodness no one was hurt and equipment can be repaired. Agriculture is a dangerous line of work, and Craig, you did a masterful job all through Graeme's time away. Years from now this will be a great story for the kids. It's wonderful to see you all support and encourage one another. God Bless!
Man, that teamwork! I will once again say how appreciative of the mentoring you provide Graeme.
I love how the humour still present :) that's what makes for a great boss and what's more, a partner in the trimming business! Don't be too hard on yourself Craig, it's not like this has happened every month or something. I totally get it though, how it doesn't feel too bad lol even that ledge in general. Its a trick of lighting, perception, everything. You're still an awesome trimmer Craig! Keep on givin'er! Lots of love from Canada! 🫶🏽✌🏽
