Y’all are NOW my favorite addiction! Absolutely fascinating……something new to learn each and every time! TY for being so kind to these wonderful creatures and making their lives so much better 🤗
TH-cam is the devil. How in the world would they know that I would find this stangely satisfying. Wasn't even looking for this and would not have searched for this myself. But now that I'm here I'm hooked.
Wait, how do you know that TH-cam isn't God giving you something to enjoy... to hel- help you... haha... smi- HAHAHAHAHA XD I'm sorry, I couldn't finish that sentence with a straight face, LOL!
This is one from 2 years ago and there is no way to miss how far you’ve come since these. You have perfected your methods and the video quality is unquestionably better. What hasn’t changed much at all is that honest concern for the comfort of the cow and your ability to teach what you do.
Thank you so much for giving these cows help and relief from some of the worst sore hooves I have ever seen, hoofed animals just cannot live on wet ground all the time they must stand on some dry ground once in a while or thrush will happen and a lot of other problems.
A week ago I didn’t even know this kind of video existed. Although I watch a diverse selection of videos, it has taken me by surprise that I would find this so fascinating. I’m a 72 year old Great Grandma and my kids wouldn’t believe that I am having a blast watching all your videos. Between such an interesting topic, the wonderful music, the views of the spectacular countryside and your delightful personality (yes, I’m old enough to be able to say that) your videos have a winning combination.. 🤗

Nothing nasty in the comments section, nobody arguing over which way is better, just people from all around the world enjoying the views and the nature all around. Hello to all the fans around the world! I'm here in Brighton, Ontario, Canada! I love HGP! #acap!
@@mariehargrove9390 hey Marie! This is a lovely, relaxing channel. I know nothing about farming, or cows, but I was hooked from my first video. Graeme is so passionate about these cows, and treats them with such care, it's so good to see.
Totally agree, just a bunch of people being oddly interested in an unusual profession and watching the process....nothing nasty just pleasant...makes a nice change
I live in Korea, born in a city, lived in cities, never even got to touch a milk cow in my whole life. TH-cam took me here, now I am watching cows getting their hooves done for many hours.

It is so beautiful to see a human put an animals feelings, psychological and physical, into account and take the best option that' s not going to upset the animal. My word really stands for nothing I guess but I still want to say that the love seen and care seen for these animals is heart warming so thank you so much
I am just recently retired and I found time that I never had before to surf the tube and stumbled upon your videos. Utterly fasinating stuff! As a professional black female, I am amazed that I like this type of content....and I am learning such interesting material about cows. Keep up the good work!
Hey. The weather is utterly miserable right now. It's snowing in Upstate New York and will continue today, February 25th all day! I need to move. Love, love, love your videos!
The cows left the front of the crush without obvious fear. They just stepped out, looked around, and ambled away in no particular hurry. That speaks well of their experience of being trimmed in the crush. If they had been hurt or frightened, they would have either been frozen in place or bolted away. Very interesting to see how your trimming guides healing over time. Thanks for showing it.
Crush was designed to keep them calm. Feels like a very strong hug and keeps their head and neck free so they dont feel claustrophobic. They use similar tricks to lead them to slaughter. Theres a movie about the inventor of both methods who was apparently an autistic woman that grow up on farms.
@@Kris-wo4pj that’s Temple Grandin. She revolutionized the way livestock are handled once in the slaughter facility. They deserve our respect and she brought that change about. She’s an amazing person.
Cows are kind of docile in general though. They are real easy to get along with. You almost have to be trying to piss one off to do so. Bulls are just always pissed off at YOU.

I love these vlogs. I spent my summers on my Grandparent's farm and they had friends that owned a dairy farm. I've loved hanging out on farms ever since. There is something quite calming about cows in general and they have the most soulful eyes. Thank you for sharing an interesting and educational subject. I've become addicted to watching these.
I grew up on a dairy farm and I can't remember my uncle ever getting his cows hoofs done. It makes me incredibly sad if he didn't. I've got so many people really hooked on your program!!
🐒 Blessings to all! Trapped in our houses due to covid and now waiting for the hurricane ...hoping for the best, you are a bright spot in my day! I'm ashamed to say before watching your channel I never thought about cows' moods or feelings. Now I wonder how the cows I see standing in fields are feeling. I haven't eaten beef in months!!
Sock Monkey, I’m like you. I’m on the coast of South Carolina. I hate hurricanes. Matthew destroyed my house. Lost a lot of irreplaceable family heirlooms. The rest can be replaced.
I grew up vegetarian...always thinking about the feelings of animals...(nibbled a little meat for 10 years)..... then vegetarian again for the last 25yrs. Don't miss it at all. No hate to the meat eaters of the world...just my personal preference.
Blessings and good luck to both of you! Been through too many hurricanes in my life, so I know the anticipation and dread. May it be over with quickly and safely!
Stacey Kohler thank you. Yes I remember it being fun when I was little, wringing out rags at the kitchen windows while the rain poured in, but we got to stay up late and that there would be no school the next day. Oh how I miss those days. 💦🌧💦🌦💧
Sock Monkey omg me too!! I felt it when that one cow spooked when the crush opened. She was frightened a bit till she saw the other cow. They truly have feelings we never thought of before. 🐄🐄🐄🐄
This makes me really happy to know there are people so passionate about a job seemingly as simple as hoof maintenance. People could just leave their cows but knowing they care is so amazing. Keep doing what youre doing!
Have you ever had a cow who’s hoofs were so bad they had to be put down. I have no cows but I learn so much watching you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to show and teach us about one area of taking care of cows
On ocassion it looks more like he's peeling potatoes than trimming hooves... Not a slight towards the farmer but he definitely needed the help you're providing
I know you won’t see this but I got some questions, 1: have you ever made a mistake that greatly affected the cow? If so what was that like and how did you go about fixing it? 2: how is the smell? I would assume it is horrible to people not used to it but have you gotten used to it? 3: what was the worst condition you’ve seen a cow in. We’re you able to help it or was it so far gone you couldn’t do anything about it? 4: have there been any situations where you were going to record but the cow was in such poor condition or the situation you were in was so bad you couldn’t post it? Thanks for the videos much love!
I may not be the owner of this channel but I have experience in treating cows feet and here is what I think. 1. Absolutely he would have made a mistake, but not to the point where he would've greatly affected a cow. Worst case scenario is if the infection has penetrated enough into her bloodstream, she would need to have a claw amputated by a qualified vet. I have seen 2 in my lifetime, but the cows are administered a numbing agent before doing so. 2. You definently get use to the smell after awhile but sometimes I still gag so no doubt he probably does lol 3. I think the 1st answer would suffice 4. There would be a certain degree I'm sure as to what he can and can't post, as it ensures the protection of the owner of the animals to avoid backlash from uneducated people. For them to ask for this man's services is a testament for the care of their animals in the first place, but whether he requested his services far too late or not is another story. Hopefully this helps.
@@Maori4LyfeNZ thanks mate for the insight.😃 My grandparents were dairy farmers with around 100 head on 400 acres on the gold coast , Queensland Australia when I was a kid in the 70s and eighties. Ive worked around a few milking sheds. I'm miss those simple easy times, I reckon you just get used to the smells like you said but every now and then it's definitely gamey in there😀 the biggest thing that worried me as a little kid was having my toes stepped on when walking in amongst the cattle trying to help my grandmother or to say goodnight.😅 My grandparents use to scratch them on the back and talk to them while they were being milked and give them grain and molasses syrup . Their cows were well looked after and were usually pretty chilled out in the shed. Happy cows produce the goods in both quality and quantity. I reckon grandad gave his cows as much attention as he gave us but he was a pretty decent bloke and I really wish I could have a cuppa tea with him again.i don't know any professional who doesn't make a mistake from time to time.its what they do next that counts.
Don’t even ask me how I got these in my feed other than I am an animal lover - but a medical scaredy-cat. I appreciate the work you (and Craig) do and the respectful compassion you show to each animal. May the Universe bless you (and Craig).
Surgeons use power tools too on certain occasions. And usually when they do, they use them much faster than he does here, as they need to keep the time low so they don't have to use as much anaesthetic (as longer anaesthetic is a higher-risk procedure)
Hi Craig and Graeme! Been watching you for awhile! Your standard is.......amazing. i have said many times thank you! I feel Craig has put the icing on cake, looks like he is giving you time to perfect your art and it is beautiful. I think thats why you are liked by so many.👍20 out of 10 guys i am humbled.
I don’t own a farm but I do love animals. I very much enjoy watching your videos and see how you care. There should be more people like you in the world.
So I don't care anything about trimming feet.. I can't be the only one. But I swear I've watched all your videos from quarantine in February until now in August. I know how to trim a cow and a horse now thanks to you... It's honestly interesting. Each foot is a new challenge. And you are a really nice person and it's just fun to watch you work. Keep up the good work bro. Keep helping these animals the right way!
This is my last video and now 8.52am....Insomnia night watching all your videos back to back......all very interesting to watch plus the care and respect you show to the cows. I'm a vegitarian....so nice to see.
I’ve been watching your channel for the last 6 months or so, and I still can’t tell the difference between a hidden abscess and which are natural soak shedding. I’m hoping with my schooling I start a month ago, taking Vet Tech. Hoping to learn more.
I'm scared, that obviously TH-cam knows me better than I do. There is no way I would ever even touch a cows hoof, yet this filled the past 3 hours of my life and I effing loved it...
I absolutely loved the perspective from above the cows hooves looking down. It made it even more clear that you have tremendous skill in trimming the cow's feet. From that perspective I could see that while you were trimming that the height of the hooves was exactly the same. And you're doing it from a facing the base of the hooves. Damn, you are precise!
So happy our Saving Gracie- The Story of Cow 812 has arrived and my twin 7 year old boys just love it! Thank you, Shalla Gray and Hoof GP from Boston, MA USA!
I love all your video's and how much everyone cares about the cows and bulls. I was lucky to get to grow up in the country and we had a multitude of animals including cows. They were my pets and babies lol ❤and I love discovering the new music and artists too ❤🎉
DEAR GOD this is really so awesome to watch everytime you come on I am just amazed what you do for these precious animals. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR team for everything you do for these beautiful animals can't tell you what is wrong with them and you find there problems. Like most of the people watching 👀 your beautiful videos you can't stop watching what you do for these precious animals
The knowledge and skill which you have, that promotes healing in these animals, is something that can be, over time, be learned and even taught. However, the intuitiveness, kindness, and the way that you connect with each of these girls with such deliberate mindfulness cannot be learned from a book or taught. You either have it , or you don’t. And you, my friend, have “it”. Thanks you so much for sharing yourself with us Greame 🙏
I'm sure the new crush was not cheap, but each time you show us what it can do, I'm more convinced it was a premiere investment. Thanks for explaining hoof anatomy and why you're doing what you're doing. I really like you videos.
Graeme, I can’t stop watching! Really enjoy your work and dedication to our moo moo’s! Thanks from here in Middle River, Maryland, Baltimore County the U.S.A.!!!
Love the change in music! Instrumental music put me in a calm and tranquil mood. And I like how you take the time to educate us! Being a city girl, I find this so interesting!
Great video Graham. The hoof service firms which I see on US firms videos do NOT do as good as work or care as you or use as good as equipment.....nice work again!
I remember these feet! It's great to see the month-later checkup and see how these ladies are getting on. It's still amazing to me how much the horn can heal and regrow in the space of a month. *looks at own fingernails* (Clearly, humans are slackers in this department.)
Hello Graeme. Took me a long time to ask this so here goes my friend. Have you ever considered installing a water tank and a pressure washer so that you can wash the cow's hoof's prior to cutting them. It might also help in washing down the shoot. The tank could hold enough water as a reserve and be topped up at most customers. Keep up the amazing content. Sam.
Glad you summoned Craig off the couch and not out of the shower. EDIT: though from prior comments I know that there are some women viewers who wouldn't have minded.
Now that I've watched so many of your videos I feel like I know just enough to try to figure out how you would trim. Although I am far from being right on the major issues, I am getting quite good. You're a fine remote teacher.
" Winner winner, chicken dinner!" LOL! I thought we only said that in the U.S. I laughed out loud. Love watching your videos. Why, oh why did I become a carpenter?
I've never had interest in anything livestock related in my life and just by watching your videos I feel like I get an actual understanding about your very specialized trade. Big testament to your explanation skills. Definitely a gem of the 'oddly satisfying' corner of TH-cam.
I work as an assistant to podiatrists. It's very interesting to see similarities in foot issues. Although in humans you see all kinds of nail deformities due to health issues as well as nail fungus.
Hello again,Linda Allen here,you are awesome and it shows that you really care,anyways I forgot to tell you where I live ,Good water,Alabama.Keep up the good work and God's blessings to you and your family
I have finally discovered why I love your videos. You are a human version of a Holstein milk cow. Loving, gentle with a silly side. I love your compassion for these cows. I grew up going to farms with my Dad when he did AI, he allowed me to help and get pooped splattered and love the farmers. Many farm wives would try to usher me into the house to spare me from the life in the barn. Nope, had to be with Dad. I would have missed the smells and sounds of these magnificent creatures. The miracle of life and understanding all of it. Thank you Dad and thank you Graeme Parker for allowing me into your world. Scared of flying but my dream trip would be to Scotland and spend a day with my Daughter going through the experience of you and your family and team. My daughter studied Animal science in college, she lived on the dry cow farm at Southern Illinois University. She is an absolute Holstein lover, inside and out. We love you Hoof GP and family 💕🙏🏻💕

have I been watching this for the past 3 hours? Yes I have.
Do I regret it?
No I don’t.
I know right
Same here lol
Same
Ditto
This makes me really happy to know there are people so passionate about a job seemingly as simple as hoof maintenance. People could just leave their cows but knowing they care is so amazing. Keep doing what youre doing!
Have you ever had a cow who’s hoofs were so bad they had to be put down. I have no cows but I learn so much watching you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to show and teach us about one area of taking care of cows
I’m in the United States, North west Florida
I too am in my 70s, and find your work facinating. It is good that you can pass at least some of your knowledge on. Good show!
Hello Evelyne how’s the weather over there
The background music reminded me of the memories that I didn't even have.

Zermesh Patel, that was an excellent way to say that. I know exactly what you mean.
😂😂😂
😂
On ocassion it looks more like he's peeling potatoes than trimming hooves...
Not a slight towards the farmer but he definitely needed the help you're providing
I know you won’t see this but I got some questions,
1: have you ever made a mistake that greatly affected the cow? If so what was that like and how did you go about fixing it?
2: how is the smell? I would assume it is horrible to people not used to it but have you gotten used to it?
3: what was the worst condition you’ve seen a cow in. We’re you able to help it or was it so far gone you couldn’t do anything about it?
4: have there been any situations where you were going to record but the cow was in such poor condition or the situation you were in was so bad you couldn’t post it?
Thanks for the videos much love!

I wanna know the answer to this also!

I may not be the owner of this channel but I have experience in treating cows feet and here is what I think.
1. Absolutely he would have made a mistake, but not to the point where he would've greatly affected a cow. Worst case scenario is if the infection has penetrated enough into her bloodstream, she would need to have a claw amputated by a qualified vet. I have seen 2 in my lifetime, but the cows are administered a numbing agent before doing so.
2. You definently get use to the smell after awhile but sometimes I still gag so no doubt he probably does lol
3. I think the 1st answer would suffice
4. There would be a certain degree I'm sure as to what he can and can't post, as it ensures the protection of the owner of the animals to avoid backlash from uneducated people. For them to ask for this man's services is a testament for the care of their animals in the first place, but whether he requested his services far too late or not is another story.
Hopefully this helps.
@@Maori4LyfeNZ thanks mate for the insight.😃 My grandparents were dairy farmers with around 100 head on 400 acres on the gold coast , Queensland Australia when I was a kid in the 70s and eighties. Ive worked around a few milking sheds. I'm miss those simple easy times, I reckon you just get used to the smells like you said but every now and then it's definitely gamey in there😀 the biggest thing that worried me as a little kid was having my toes stepped on when walking in amongst the cattle trying to help my grandmother or to say goodnight.😅 My grandparents use to scratch them on the back and talk to them while they were being milked and give them grain and molasses syrup . Their cows were well looked after and were usually pretty chilled out in the shed. Happy cows produce the goods in both quality and quantity. I reckon grandad gave his cows as much attention as he gave us but he was a pretty decent bloke and I really wish I could have a cuppa tea with him again.i don't know any professional who doesn't make a mistake from time to time.its what they do next that counts.
I feel a great sense of relief that you know how to look after these cows so well and thoroughly!
Hello Marie how’s the weather over there
I’ll ‘Second’ all of what you said! I’m a 63 yr old, born Farm-girl, now widow and love to learn everything there is to learn!
Don’t even ask me how I got these in my feed other than I am an animal lover - but a medical scaredy-cat. I appreciate the work you (and Craig) do and the respectful compassion you show to each animal. May the Universe bless you (and Craig).
Hello Sandra how’s the weather over there
"We're going to need precision for this"
Surgeon: sweats
Hoof GP: Revs grinder
Surgeons use power tools too on certain occasions.
And usually when they do, they use them much faster than he does here, as they need to keep the time low so they don't have to use as much anaesthetic (as longer anaesthetic is a higher-risk procedure)
Hi Craig and Graeme! Been watching you for awhile! Your standard is.......amazing. i have said many times thank you! I feel Craig has put the icing on cake, looks like he is giving you time to perfect your art and it is beautiful. I think thats why you are liked by so many.👍20 out of 10 guys i am humbled.
Wow, I did not know about Sheep Shearing, I never would of imagined! Can't wait to try out those vids!!!
You are so gentle with their hooves.
Hello Susan how’s the weather over there
Love how much care and attention you show these beautiful creatures.
this channel is so alive. there's like a calm and happiness vibe to the videos.
I don’t own a farm but I do love animals. I very much enjoy watching your videos and see how you care. There should be more people like you in the world.
Hello Cathy how’s the weather over there
So I don't care anything about trimming feet.. I can't be the only one. But I swear I've watched all your videos from quarantine in February until now in August. I know how to trim a cow and a horse now thanks to you... It's honestly interesting. Each foot is a new challenge. And you are a really nice person and it's just fun to watch you work. Keep up the good work bro. Keep helping these animals the right way!
B&B Ltd. so many different types ofconditions
This is my last video and now 8.52am....Insomnia night watching all your videos back to back......all very interesting to watch plus the care and respect you show to the cows. I'm a vegitarian....so nice to see.
I’ve been watching your channel for the last 6 months or so, and I still can’t tell the difference between a hidden abscess and which are natural soak shedding. I’m hoping with my schooling I start a month ago, taking Vet Tech. Hoping to learn more.
Hello Karen how’s the weather over there
I love the background to the process, how you setup and herd the cows into the crush to trim their feet! Good honest work and well done lads! from NZ.
I love how you take your time and are so gentle. You take good care of their feet. Thank you.
Hello Terri how’s the weather over there
I'm scared, that obviously TH-cam knows me better than I do. There is no way I would ever even touch a cows hoof, yet this filled the past 3 hours of my life and I effing loved it...
The hoof gp is so caring to these cows i wonder whose idea it was to create this channel a massive thanks 🙏
I absolutely loved the perspective from above the cows hooves looking down. It made it even more clear that you have tremendous skill in trimming the cow's feet. From that perspective I could see that while you were trimming that the height of the hooves was exactly the same. And you're doing it from a facing the base of the hooves. Damn, you are precise!
Loved the music in this one. It really put the mood in how you're looking out for the welfare of the animals and trying to heal them. Cheers!
So happy our Saving Gracie- The Story of Cow 812 has arrived and my twin 7 year old boys just love it! Thank you, Shalla Gray and Hoof GP from Boston, MA USA!
Hello Kate how’s the weather over there
Being a fellow Scot and in his mid 60s being called the likes of "Craigyboy" has always been an endearment. So keep up with "Craigyboy"
I love all your video's and how much everyone cares about the cows and bulls. I was lucky to get to grow up in the country and we had a multitude of animals including cows. They were my pets and babies lol ❤and I love discovering the new music and artists too ❤🎉
DEAR GOD this is really so awesome to watch everytime you come on
I am just amazed what you do for these precious animals. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR team for everything you do for these beautiful animals can't tell you what is wrong with them and you find there problems. Like most of the people watching 👀 your beautiful videos you can't stop watching what you do for these precious animals
The knowledge and skill which you have, that promotes healing in these animals, is something that can be, over time, be learned and even taught. However, the intuitiveness, kindness, and the way that you connect with each of these girls with such deliberate mindfulness cannot be learned from a book or taught. You either have it , or you don’t. And you, my friend, have “it”. Thanks you so much for sharing yourself with us Greame 🙏
Hello Lola how’s the weather over there
13:41 that where the thum nail is
People's champion right here fellas
Thanks
Smh watch the fucking video instead of rely on comments
@@thickgirlsneedlove2190 chill dude
Dude i clicked on it and an add popped up about cleaning hooves 😂
He cracks me up! “ we need to be very very careful here” so he revs his grinder! I have 4 grinders, there awesome. Love from Australia x
I'm sure the new crush was not cheap, but each time you show us what it can do, I'm more convinced it was a premiere investment. Thanks for explaining hoof anatomy and why you're doing what you're doing. I really like you videos.
2023 Jan, this channel is fascinating. Never thought I would be hooked on watching hoof trimming of cattle.
Like the special effects and how you explain each cows issues, progress, and future healing!!!
Hello Dawn how’s the weather over there
Being raised on a small farm in Arkansas USA was always amazing how my Dad took care of the cattle, especially the smaller cows.
Hello Martha how’s the weather over there
This machine is so cool with a lift. Can you imagine if someone from a 100 years ago saw this contraption? It even looks like it has a poop blocker!
It's so satisfying to watch. You need a lot of strength and knowledge of what you're doing.
Graeme, I can’t stop watching!
Really enjoy your work and dedication to our moo moo’s!
Thanks from here in Middle River, Maryland, Baltimore County the U.S.A.!!!
Anyone else getting to be good at sussing out problems before the hoof gets trimmed?
Yep. He's taught us well
I think I know and then I don’t.
I've learned a lot of jargon - "corium," "white line," "crush." I almost feel like I could hold a conversation with a farmer now.
@@tncorgi92 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@tncorgi92 enough to say keep the conversation moo-ving 🐮
So glad you show cutting the Dew claws cause I enjoy seeing them so big and then when you trim them down!! Thanks!! 🐮🐮🐮💗💗💗🐮🐮🐮
Love the change in music! Instrumental music put me in a calm and tranquil mood. And I like how you take the time to educate us! Being a city girl, I find this so interesting!
Hello Denise how’s the weather over there
wash the hoof? It is a great relief to see how simple, quickly, and concise your technique addresses to many aspects of care. Just wonderful
Your videos and the mix of education and larking about has got to be the most comforting thing...
I can't be the only one that wants to wash those hooves before they leave the crush
I want to wash them before and after they trim them, lol!
I want to spray them with a giant version of the water gun they have at the dentist
Lol. I just commented the same.
That has always bugged me. Why don't they wash them before the repair?
@@rickster9991601 - I don’t know. Seeing how much waste the cows produce it can not be good having them stand in it.
Oh, and well done for so many improved n healed hooves in just 2 visits!!! Amazing how you can help with expertise n passion! 👌
Hello Cathryn how’s the weather over there
There is something relaxing about watching hooves being trimmed. I love how you edit your videos.
It's amazing how you care, there is no one like you so mutch you love helping animal😊❤
What a great channel, Hats off to you guys.
The content, the purpose, the production quality. 5 Stars!
Great video Graham. The hoof service firms which I see on US firms videos do NOT do as good as work or care as you or use as good as equipment.....nice work again!
I remember these feet! It's great to see the month-later checkup and see how these ladies are getting on. It's still amazing to me how much the horn can heal and regrow in the space of a month. *looks at own fingernails* (Clearly, humans are slackers in this department.)
If you watch a guy who actually cares about the animals he works on, he can have whatever music he wants for the background
If he cared he’ll let them free
@@christianrivers1475 they may be safer with him then in the wild they are clearly getting taken care of well while being with him
@@christianrivers1475 they can’t survive in the wild
@@typea5426 they can but keeping them is better
@@christianrivers1475 You don’t know milking cows.
A true professional and cares for the animals. Dr. Hoof Fixer is AWESOME!!🥰
I just love your personality!! Who knew I like watching cows feet being trimmed 😁🐄 best wishes from Co Dublin Ireland ☘️🙂🇮🇪
Hello Adwina how’s the weather over there
Hello Graeme. Took me a long time to ask this so here goes my friend.
Have you ever considered installing a water tank and a pressure washer so that you can wash the cow's hoof's prior to cutting them. It might also help in washing down the shoot. The tank could hold enough water as a reserve and be topped up at most customers.
Keep up the amazing content.
Sam.
i think it does not need water, coz it will cause unwated mud of dung on floor and splash of dung around
He responds to this a lot.
He trims way too many hooves for this to be practical, basically.
I love his accent, and humor! Entertaining and satisfying!
Hello Dawn how’s the weather over there
Glad you summoned Craig off the couch and not out of the shower.
EDIT: though from prior comments I know that there are some women viewers who wouldn't have minded.
Loved how you just went in and made it look so easy... Referring to pulling the shoot.
He is my favorite hoof handler.... nice calm demeanor...great voice. I love how he helps the cows and bulls
Hahahaha 😂 I love the beginning of the video. Your drone takes really beautiful views! That new crush is so awsomely handy!
Hello Melanie how’s the weather over there
Now that I've watched so many of your videos I feel like I know just enough to try to figure out how you would trim. Although I am far from being right on the major issues, I am getting quite good. You're a fine remote teacher.

" Winner winner, chicken dinner!" LOL! I thought we only said that in the U.S. I laughed out loud. Love watching your videos. Why, oh why did I become a carpenter?
Hello Theresa how’s the weather over there
Is it weird that I enjoy watching this channel while I eat my breakfast every morning? These cows have better Healthcare than I do. Love the channel
I've never had interest in anything livestock related in my life and just by watching your videos I feel like I get an actual understanding about your very specialized trade. Big testament to your explanation skills. Definitely a gem of the 'oddly satisfying' corner of TH-cam.
How did I end up on this channel? Meh, I don’t care. It’s awesome and I’m hooked! Subbed!! :)
Thanks serenaar!
Love to see the care you always give to these girls!
I work as an assistant to podiatrists. It's very interesting to see similarities in foot issues. Although in humans you see all kinds of nail deformities due to health issues as well as nail fungus.
Hello Sicagr how’s the weather over there
Hello again,Linda Allen here,you are awesome and it shows that you really care,anyways I forgot to tell you where I live ,Good water,Alabama.Keep up the good work and God's blessings to you and your family
I have finally discovered why I love your videos. You are a human version of a Holstein milk cow. Loving, gentle with a silly side. I love your compassion for these cows. I grew up going to farms with my Dad when he did AI, he allowed me to help and get pooped splattered and love the farmers. Many farm wives would try to usher me into the house to spare me from the life in the barn. Nope, had to be with Dad. I would have missed the smells and sounds of these magnificent creatures. The miracle of life and understanding all of it. Thank you Dad and thank you Graeme Parker for allowing me into your world.
Scared of flying but my dream trip would be to Scotland and spend a day with my Daughter going through the experience of you and your family and team. My daughter studied Animal science in college, she lived on the dry cow farm at Southern Illinois University. She is an absolute Holstein lover, inside and out. We love you Hoof GP and family 💕🙏🏻💕
