The farmer being wrong is a bonus for the cow, but also shows that they are very well cared for and that problems are picked up pretty quickly and the girls aren't left to suffer. This is a farm that cares about their livestock and that is just as good to see.
Much better to err on the side caution. This may have caught a potential problem before it became an issue. She will appreciate it.
Take care of yourself.
It’s wild he mentioned this farm has over a thousand cows yet the farmer is aware of a single one possibly being uncomfortable and the farmer pays for someone to come out every fortnight to trim. That is some (wonderfully) obsessive animal husbandry.
@@amberpeace5099 it is pretty standard for production farms. The cost of maintaining a healthy herd is far more beneficial than having to constantly pay for treatment.
Happy cows are productive cows. It is excellent husbandry and a standard to follow.
It should be the same for animals raised for food. Healthy and happy animals produce better quality meat and just because an animal is raised for food, doesn't mean they should live in poor conditions.
But that is just my opinion.
I think it is often a misconception that farmers don't care for their livestock. Some people do like to misrepresent farms as one big, anonymous slaughter house.
@@graealex agreed 100% that's why I like watching Graham's work, he shows the other side.
You can tell from his voice that Grahm is not feeling well. Yet here he is out there and taking care of these cows. Inspiring!!!
I love that the farmer was worried about her. Shows yet again, the love needed to raise cattle.
This applies to any livestock, as well as crops.
Grass puppies are happier when they are cared for
Not to be a negative Nelly but one single cow can be worth around 5k on average. So the idea that it's love versus trying to keep themselves from losing money... IDK maybe I'm just cynical.
@@TrumpLostAndYourKidsH8_U he must love what he does for a living. Farming is exhausting and I can’t imagine staying at it if he didn’t love it.
@@TrumpLostAndYourKidsH8_U no you're not, its a realistic view of it bc they are an investment and you always want to make sure each investment isn't gonna wind up being a lost cause.
do well for them, and they'll do well for you.
I love that the farmer was concerned. Shows he cares. I’ve seen and heard horror stories. Wish all “farmers” were like this!
Oh Graeme, your throat sounds still so sore and raw. Poor guy, hope you feel better soon! The cows, your family, and your tv family need you happy and healthy!! Take care of yourself, and thank you for relieving so much pain off these cows sore hurting feets! ❤🐄❤🐃❤🐂❤
Your throat still sounds raw Graeme.
It's amazing that your machine seems so light weight then picks up cows and bulls that weigh so, so much!
You, Craig, and the job you do with the herds are amazing!
Thank you so much!
🐄 🐮 🐄 🐮 🐄
More like a scottish Tyson Fury😂silly jokes aside,I hope he recovers soon 👌
the crushes are actually pretty heavy. I believe a few videos back he said the appleton weighed about 2 tons. Definitely not light. steel and hydraulics are amazing though.
@@cicciodibenedetto18 😂🤣 im so glad i read this comment at the beginning of the video.. im listening to fury the whole video
If I am correct he was just recovering from being sick. I am just hoping his throat wasn’t too sore.
@@asknightmareluna6445 he had a surgery he is recovering from.
I think it's great that you show us a more "ordinary" trim. Like you mention, we typically only see the worst of the worst, and it could alter our perception of how these cows are kept. I like that you show when a "might be a problem" turns out to be "not much of a problem." Good on you, mate!
These are one of those rare channels that you stumble on, love animals, love the relief this man is providing and teaching world wide…thats an easy sub.
In the 4 days since you posted this video, the cow has been, with each step, more comfortable then before. That’s not boring mate. That’s fantastic. Get to feeling better soon.
I so hope you are feeling 100% again soon! Thanks so much for helping these wonderful animals.
This was definitely an interesting video, because it shows how subtle changes to the cow's foot can make a huge difference in the cow's comfort, and it just points to how important regular trimming is for the animals
After 2 and a bit years of watching this channel, it never gets old. So heartwarming.
I don’t own a cow or a farm but I’m a loyal viewer. Your belief in humanity, value of land and the people who work it lift my spirits. You’re funny, kind and so good natured. I never dreamed I’d be a hoof fanatic but I actually enjoy learning about all of it. Ya never know when I might have a herd of my own!
Cow 388 is so pretty, and now she looks perfectly comfortable and happy.
Not sure we can say the same for you, HGP. You look and sound like you're feeling a bit ragged. Please take good care of yourself. You deserve it at least as much as the cows do!
You don't have to be dealing with pus and gore for us to be interested in what you're doing. As you pointed out, the level of lameness is in the eye of the beholder, and in this one video you proved beyond all doubt (not that I doubted you before) that this farmer really does know about and care for every cow in his massive heard. Imagine trying to spot a mildly limping cow in a field full of other big lasses! Big thumbs up to the farmer for his unwavering dedication to his animals 👍, and another get well soon from me to you 🫂🥃!
Yeah. He must have a Steve Austin Bionic Eye to be able to detect that.
*** SCANNING *** _DOO-NOO-Noo-Noo-noo-noo... DOO-NOO-Noo-Noo-noo-noo..._ *** LAME FOOT DETECTED ***
We're happy to see cows without major problems too!! Who doesn't love a happy ending? I mean, we're mainly here for all the lesions, cracks and pus, but throwing in a healthy one once in a while is fun too!!!
Sounds like you might have a little problem, take care of yourself there Graeme
He had a procedure he said in one of his other videos so I think his throat is still sore from that not 100% sure
I had the same thought
@@Bianka_Taylor so many jokes to be made….but I won’t cause I love this guy.
A believe he had a vasectomy. But I'm just guessing.
@@michaelwhite7715 I was wondering that as well when he said it was a something only men get and I couldn’t think of anything besides that
I liked this one. Very good to see a farmer caring for his cattle in such a thorough manner. Its always nice seeing the before and after balancing side by side, even though it wasn't major you can still tell that it makes a lot of difference for such a weighty animal.
I love that the farmer watches his herd close enough to keep them healthy and happy. And that you address those concerns with care and compassion.
So nice to see farmers really taking care of the ladies, the fact that he was worried says it all, now, Graham go and tend to that throat or yours, goodness that sounds painful, take care Graham.👍🐄💙
I love that this farmer pays such close attention to his girls that even the slight bit of discomfort came off to him as her being lame and struggling and he made sure to let you know♥
Dude I just love your videos so much. The music, your way of explaining things, the voiceover, the editing. It just brings me peace. Good stuff!
Hey man just wanted to let you know that your videos are the highlight of my day. I live in Texas and wish you and your family all the best. I was just telling my wife about how angry I got about the indecent with the rumors that someone was spreading about you and your family. Don't understand how some people are like that to good people like yourself. Keep fighting the good fight and keep going forward. I'm only one of your fans and I'm sure you hear good wishes a lot but again, it's the highlight of my day watching your videos. Stay a good man👍👍👍
It really goes to show the amount of care and attention to cow health is paid at that farm for the farmer to be concerned and point out this cow to you as potentially lame, then for you to find it was mostly just in need of a good balance and trim is amazing. It highlights, in the best ways, how much those cows are cared for by everyone involved. Cheers Graeme, hope you get to feeling better soon mate!
This is a sweet video. I thoroughly enjoy how you love your work and truly care for these animals! Not a boring video at all! Just the sugary sweetness to end my day!
I enjoy watching all of your videos! Thanks for sharing! I’m a city gal with country roots 😊( my grandparents had a farm when I was growing up) I would always ask my grandfather if I could give the cows & pigs a bath, I felt so sorry for them because they had dirt & other things on their bodies. Of course he got a big laugh out of my question, as he said “only a city girl would want to bathe the farm animals”🤣🤣🤣
I just told my son the same thing.
Bathe the dairy cows.
Hope you get better. On the bright side, you can do a Scottish Batman impression probably
So glad for the cow! Thanks for caring so well for them.
Love the work and the videos you do GP, take care of yourself and hope your voice gets better soon
Graeme you love teaching! And you’re VERY good at it! I’m a hospital laboratory tech and you’ve taught ME all about hoof trimming! I watch other hoof trimmers and have some knowledge of what and why they are doing! Thank you so much!
Look at the elusive Scottish sunshine! What a gorgeous day! Hope your throat gets better soon!
I love your content I'm really addicted to watching these videos and your voice a little horse hope you are feeling better
Oh man, you sound super sick! Feel better soon!! Also, love this videos! Not a farmer or anything so it’s really interesting to see how cows are helped on a farm (and I’m an ocean away. Hello from Oklahoma, USA!)
I'm so glad that the farmers are so caring for their cows. I'm also so glad that you are there to tickle their footsies.
Hoof I always watch your videos when ever you post I just love this I have learned so much about these animals feet that I could probably point out s potential problem you all do such a great job thank you so much for what you do and how you help these animals
Doesn’t have to be graphic to be interesting! Thanks for teaching us and caring for all those lovely ladies.
Excellent! Before and after, but also standing in the crush after. Seeing the properly balanced hoof bearing weight is a nice addition.
And she did look more comfortable. Well done to the farmer for noticing. And good job on the trim.
Husky voice edition.
It's always good to see and hear you both!🌹💕🇺🇲
Great to always see the farmers you work with are as dedicated to the cows as you are. Great job!
Hey From Nova Scotia. Hope all is going well brother.
Make sure sure you're taking care of yourself too Graeme
Looks like you’re having some great weather today! Thanks for helping out the farmer with his cow. Now you get some well deserved time to take care of yourself.
im watching the Scottish version of Rainn Wilson treating cows foot. I really like the amount of care and patience this man puts into his work and you can tell how passionate he is about it.
Love the dedication of the farmers and those that take care of them.
Money made with the expert use of that beautiful blade. Spot on, Hoof GP! Thank you for sharing another great video.
This is how every cow deserves to be cared for. Kudos to this farmer!!! And to you as well, of course :)
I've read your slightly different voice may be due to a procedure, Graeme, but if I were you? I'd be taking the chance to audition for any role as a badass, grizzled Scottish warrior. You'd be a winner. ;) Good work with the cows, as usual!
As a human that has feet problems I can only imagine the comfort you bring to these animals!
That is very impressive to me. It must be nice for you when the farm is able to take such good care of their cows.
Aww, love the Star effect when she looked back to say Thanks! 🐄❤️
1.6 million subs???
Glad to see that your channel has absolutely exploded
If it’s better for your throat, you can just put text on the screen. Hope you feel better soon!!
First, hope your voice clears up soon. Second, watching 388 walk out tickled me. You could almost hear her thinking…new shoes, a few timid steps and then taking off in a trot. Thanks for the today’s video!
I've watched your work for the longest and it's brought me many smiles and laughs! Your work is very interesting and entertaining, but please take care of yourself too! Your voice definitely sounds raw
Love your videos, you care so much and you can see it in everything you do!!! Thank you!! Love and hugs to you and your family!!!
Is there any type of cow breed you like trimming over others, maybe due to the hoof toughness, or the general lack of issues or even how docile they might be?
Hope your throat gets better very soon. Take care and thanks for the videos!
GP, your voice sounds so cool! You sound like a tough guy action hero! Get well soon.
Yes, I agree. Add that to the wild and wooly locks and you have the epitome of the scottish tough guy hero. 😉
That was awesome to see, it shows the love that both you and the farmer have for these stunning animals.
Love from Texas!!
I love your page hope you get better soon it sounds like you're sick I can't wait to see other ones All love from America I missed doing it There's not too many farms around me no more
He had a tube down his throat recently when he went in for 'the snip'...
Okay,,, that was one beautiful bovine! How does a farm that size keep them all that clean, healthy and shiny??
The world needs more farmers, of every animal, like this one!!
Graham....I love you & Craig's Interactions...you make me smile.☺️
Graeme, the differences in the KVK and Appleton crushes aren't much different from the Hoof GP's point of view, but on this side of the pond there is a big difference. The Appleton crush is considered an Implement of Husbandry (on it's own wheels) therefore is not taxed. The KVK crush must ride on a trailer, and the trailer is NOT considered an Implement of Husbandry, and IS taxed. This may vary state by state. Thanks for the videos. Jon (Ian)
I here you still have a sore throat so take care of you you.
Maintaining that great sense of humor while feeling ill. This is no act.
You're a real winner, my man!
Nobody makes hoof management more cool than Graeme... thumbs up mate!
Worried about your throat Graeme. If you were incubated for your surgical procedure irritation from the tube can last a couple weeks on some people...depending on how rough the intubation was The doctor can order you a prescription of magic swizzle( I use it when I'm getting chemo) to calm the irritation....but you also need to take a break and let yourself heal!😇❤️👍
I was almost expecting a video from 388 explaining how she knew Graham was unwell and what she did about it!
Lol! Great stuff! That would make a great video.
I just found this channel and I'm happy I did. I'm studying to become an agrologist and I have training at a cow farm. We had a day there when hoof trimmers came by and I was so interested in bowine feet and how they take care of them and this was so great yo see videos of these things. Thank you and greetings from Finland. ☺️🇫🇮
I love your commitment and approach. You are so caring. I love this channel…. Stay Safe. Lots of love from 🇨🇦
1000 cows wow that’s amazing. Very good friends of ours are 4th generation dairy farmers , it’s pretty cool .
Great video as always, I hope you feel better soon.
Graeme I hope your throat isn't as sore as it sounds, I know you've been fighting it for a bit. Hope you're feeling better soon. My favorite part is when the cows look back to say thanks! 🖤🐄🤍🐂🤎
I'm big into preventative medicine. I'm very happy that you've given this sweet Cow a trim and prevented a big job later on. Most people may not understand that stressing a cow truly makes a difference in the comfort of their lives and keeps their delicate health in balance. God bless you! From Cincinnati Ohio, USA 🥰😇
Perfect timing. Was just about to go to sleep!
Ouch! I hope you feel even better soon! I know that cow does! As always, I love your videos!
Your voice is sounding kind of rough. Hope you're not feeling too bad. Feel better!
I feel your pain Graeme. I too have a rotten cold with a really sore throat. Hopefully we will get better soon! 🤗
Same - my whole household has Covid. The chorus of coughing is almost amusing!
@@LaynieFingers , oh no. You poor things. I hope you get better soon. 🤗
Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿. Im retired and although never done farm work enjoy watching your show. I see here they have a hoof course going. Not shaw how involved it is. I enjoy watching the way you and Craigie boy get on. Also your family and your brute dogs 🐕 Hahaha..love the countryside around were you live its beautiful. Take care
Sometimes finding out that a “lame” cow is actually just an uncomfortable cow that is desperate for a trim makes for the best of videos, because you not only helped her… you FIXED her. Immediate gratification!
Amazing how much harder the hooves are on cows that live outdoors.
Just out of interest, what’s the weight difference between the Appleton and the KVK?
One, the KVK, is a convertible.
Chris Boscurry now it is anyway… isn’t that the one that tipped over and the roof was damaged? They had to take it off.
@@marieked no, that was the Appleton.
@@bosgaurus1 one? One what? What are you talking about?
@@cerinicholls6143, what did you ask? Read the other responses.
It’s Great to see people like your Crew so Compassionate about your “Trade”
All your episodes are interesting even if you don't find anything wrong with the cows feet. What a nice relief!! I still love to watch and your videos are never boring!!
These cows have excellent body condition. Clearly they are well cared for! This farm also looks pristine.
She seemed to notice the effect of that trim, like she'd been slightly favoring the one foot and suddenly realized she didn't need to anymore.
Its always good to see people doing things they love.
I dont know why cow hoof trimming videos suddendly came up in my reccomended Videos, but they are oddly satisfying to watch...
The kvk may be easy to get into position but can be kinda difficult going down ramps. Just ask Craigie Boy! 😹
I think that was the Appleton.
@@lorihughes7017 it may have been. And to be fair to Craigie Boy, he does a great job driving the rigs. Some farm setups are pretty tricky.
Take care of yourself, sir. Your family and thousands of troubled hooves depend on you! 👍🏼
Hi, keep the cow's wink at the end on repeat for your videos......it ends well and a funny way. Keep the good work!
Glad she was in good shape. Hope your voice gets better soon.
Hope that post surgery crud clears up fast for you Graeme! Random question, do you ever do goat feet?
I got to be the 5th like, woot! Sorry your voice is still not back to normal, thanks for the video.
I'll call cow 388, Lotta from now on. What sweet animals cows are, and grass-fed butter is the best. So thank you Lotta, thanks to the farmer to really take good care of his livestock, keeping them outside and thank you for introducing me to a craft I had no idea existed but is so essential!
Best one yet! When the worst one is in such terrific shape. Man, that's got to feel good. It's obvious it's not just luck but the result of consistent hard work. Congrats to you and the farmer!
I enjoy your videos, I probably wouldn't watch as often if they were ALL graphic so... thanks for switching it up, and just for showing and teaching us. I enjoyed this video very much as well! Can you give us a tour of your backyard? I'm curious in your part of the world, what does a backyard look like? I have about a 15x4 patch of grass and concrete with some trees, almost no backyard at all but we have lots of beautiful forested parks to go to closeby. I've seen your panoramas over the years, but without giving away anything maybe personal about your personal life would you, could you show us a typical yard when you live? Do people do a lot of their own growing of vegetables? do most people own acres and acres of land?
I love that the farmer knows his cattle so well that his perception is so sensitive. Now go take care of your throat.
Lovely. Look at how glossy they are. Healthy cows are a joy to watch.
Your throat sounds so sore! I hope that you’ve seen a doctor and it’s getting better! Take care of yourself, Graeme. You’re a gem, and we all want you to be healthy and happy.
I think he mentioned that the sore throat was the result of having a tube down his throat when he had surgery recently. The surgery involved his "boys" downstairs. The old bull has been put out to pasture, using cow terms!🤣
