I'm deployed right now and because of Covid we don't know when we can go home. I randomly found this channel and I look forward to each upload. Its weirdly calming for my anxiety and I love that you love the cows. Keep up the great content. Thank you
Thank you for doing what you do 🙏🏽 I hope you’re safe and well
Jesse Bumpsglass God Bless and take care.
Jesse Bumpsglass : thank you for what you are doing, which is especially hard at this time. With good wishes for you now and after your return home.
Take care of you! We all want you home safe and sound.
Watch baby goats on sunflower farms. In or out of "jamies/Pjs". Sorry you are away from home. With Jesus (His death, burial and resurrection 1cor. -4) you are never alone. Thank you.
I don't have a cow. I live in a city. It's 4 am and here I am watching this.
Sai Ashish there are a lot of farmers who post all kinds of content, great way to find out everything about getting food to the store. There’s way more than I ever realized too. Lots of farmers who really love and care for their animals.
It's 230am for me.. Lol
Sai,.....it won't be the last time. The only "cow" I have is in the freezer, but this is just so oddly fascinating, and Graham is such a sweetie, I find myself checking in all the time. Enjoy.
Same ...
Lmdao SAME!!😂👊lmao im in Bmore, ive NEVER owned a cow or even been on 1 bfor but this keeps my attention! I watch it as much as i can!😂lmao i dont get it man!! I just dont get it!!😂
I'm a beauty therapist but I suffer from anxiety and at the start of the new year i began having horrible panic attacks. I started to watch the hoof gp and im hook when I feel my anxiety is high i go and watch the hoof gp. Keep up your fab videos. There's people out there your helping and not just the the cow's too. ☺
Hope you are well, Miss Johanna 🙏🙏❤❤
I'm 14 and live in the USA and I want to be like you when I grow up
Best comment on TH-cam! Follow your dreams kid 👍
Great aditude! Fallow your passions kid!
GP is definitely a good role model for any young person his positivity is contagious.
Good for you. It's honest work. If you don't mind I have some advice
1) Work smarter, not harder.
2) Always do quality work.
3) A good reputation is hard to earn but easily ruined.
4) Don't trade your honor or morals for anything or any reason.
jddwh06 Wonderful goal. Aaron LaVoy has a school in the US teaching this trade. Good luck to you. 🇨🇦❤️🐮
I don't know why it touches me so to see the compassion that you have for these cattle, but it does. Truly.
I feel the same way. I think it's because it's one of the realest most genuine things I've seen in a while.
Cus you gon be eaten that one when you go to McDonald's, or drink it’s product.
@@dropdeadhysteria he is one awesome guy, I too love his gentle, understanding and compassionate nature ❤
@@sosighurt129 if you watch and listen the majority of his work is with dairy cows, not cows bred for their meat 🙄
@@dropdeadhysteria meee toooo 🥰
My husband: A large animal Veterinarian, “what are you watching?” Me: “Hoof GP trim a dry cow.” Husband: “You could just come ride in the vet truck with me you know!” Me: “In my pajamas?” 🤪😂😷🤷♀️
Michele Miller that’s great
This made me smile so much 😍
Probably better without smell-o-vision anyways
😂
Where do you live, if you don't want to I will
It's comforting seeing the progress each cow makes. I appreciate the fact that you work WITH the cow whose foot you're trimming. You never force anything on any of them. If a cow wants to kick about, you let her. If she's scared, you stop to comfort her. It makes me wonder if any of them recognize you when you come back. I'm sure some of them do!
If i was a cow id proberbly forget him because i would be as low iq as a cow
@@tosgem Animals get familiar with things. The smell, the sound . They may not realize why it’s familiar, but it is.
tosgem sounds like you have a lower iq than a cow.
@@rebeccawilliams139 i have a lower it? What is an it?
@Harzburgitic 😆
In this time of separation and lock down it is so calming to watch a kind man of knowledge and compassion out in the world caring for living creatures. Thank you again. Bill
I love your channel. I'm Mexican American. My grandfather grew up in Mexico on a ranch with cows, horses, chickens, ducks, pigs, goats and other beautiful creatures. The one thing he always said about the views. Because he loved his cows most of all. He would say "Cows are so beautiful. They have the most beautiful eyes. Prettier than any other. Their eyes really do show the simple and natural truth in those eyes. Pure love. Gorgeous Eyes". I love cows just like him. But i like the small goats as well. But when i found your page and how much you love the job and the cows. It reminded me of him. And the beautiful eyes. God bless you for taking good care of Gods creatures . Stay safe . Don't ever give up that love. 🥰👨🌾🐄🐂🐃🐐
Poor girl ! I am so glad that she is owned by a farmer that really cares for his animals. You did a fantastic job on getting to the root of the problem It warms my heart to see how gentle you are with her treatment We all look forward to see how she progresses Great music
Being a dairy farmer that does a lot of his own trimming (I do use a foot trimmer with a roll over crush) it’s always fascinating to watch someone else trim. I know you show your worse cases and I’m so glad I get so few because I use a manual crush and it’s shite! I’ve only got 55 cows so can’t justify a crush like yours but I’m envious; your new crush is superb.
xevelyn vlogzzx no. It's like trimming your nails. The only time it hurts is when you cut too deep.
Yeah. Even if a tool or a piece of kit is great, you do have to justify the expense.
I always wonder, who invented the crush? I’ve never even heard of anything like it. How does it know how high up to take the cows foot? How does it not break the cows foot when it pulls it up? It’s a super cool machine
@암호 (crypto) No, it's like our new nails. Like getting our pet's nails trimmed.
I didn't mean to put "new" in previous comment, lol.
It is rather soothing. Watch every one I can get to. Love it and it is so great Graham is so caring to all these cows.
I love the slow-mo out of the crush. It's like a runway walk. She knows what's up. I wish my goats were that happy when I trim their hooves.
UGH! This quarantine! Another week and Graham's going to have a barn full of us ladies lining up for the crush to get our toenails done!
HAHAHA, just tell me when and where and I'll get in line! Isn't he just the best?
Lmao !!!
Lmao
Love it Anne. Can just imagine it!! 🌹
I know he knows what he’s doing but it always feels like he’s cutting away too much. Then, I see the transformation and then I’m reminded that it’s so necessary for the benefit of the cattle. You sir, have one hell of a heart🙏🏼
Thank you so much for the wonderful video and great music. I love watching it, it's so satysfaing! Thank you for caring for the cows and their feets!
I love how you pointed out that using the dull disc on the grinder because the manual crush left the foot more unstable while trimming. Using the sharpest tools is not always the best given the circumstances for safety reasons of both you and the cow. :)
TH-cam algorithm: Hey we have some videos of a guy cleaning cow hoves, want to see them.
Me: I don't know... maybe...one...
Also me: 13 videos in... Well, I guess this is what I watch for entertainment from now on...
Look up LCC, it's a guy deep cleaning rugs, helps me sleep and ite so relaxing, I have no idea how I got to there hit apparently TH-cam algorithm thinks I either need to relax more or yet my carpet cleaner out x
You can thank me later 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@SupportMensMentalHealth I watch that too! It’s great! Lol
Cow 957 is symbolic of the many and varied techniques and practices that are involved in cows feet, it’s a revelation to me just how complex and exacting this particular discipline is. Very satisfying to watch - and cow 957 is looking great!
I grew up on a dairy farm in Idaho USA where I learned the value of hard work and appreciation for these beautiful gentle animals! I love your videos and can tell you love your job! This 67 yr old Gma thinks your awesome!
Wife: "what are you watching?"
Me: "it's hard to explain....."
Um... cow pornography? 😁
Cuda 71 yeah I think I’d get that same reaction if anyone saw me watching this too.
My 19 year old son thinks it is cool
My husband ask me the same thing a few weeks ago, and now he is a fan as well of this channel
I just say something like "Watching someone help a sick cow", no one really questions that.
I love seeing how the cows progress with their recoveries and how much better they seem to be almost immediately when they recieve trimmings
I love to see the land in Scotland it is just so soothing and the music it's great thanks Graham for these awesome videos that you show
I know you've been using red wrap to hold on the clay, but I have inside information... The girls would really rather have neon pink wrap. ❤🌅🌵 p.s. Pink might be easier for the farmers to see and remove as well!
same could be said of a neon blue or purple! The real problem is how muddy the wrap gets. The farmer's got to rinse off her foot a bit more to make sure he gets the whole wrap!
@@aelfrey3918 , he mentioned in a recent video (4-5? back from today), that he likes red because it stays on longer. 💜🌞🌵😷 P.s. I have mentioned to him that the bulls would like blue instead of the red, so like minds think alike!
Yeah, cause pink is the only colour one should ever use for females 🙄. If it was just to stand out and be easy to spot, neon yellow or orange would work better
I have not been watching your videos long but I really enjoy the work you do. You're very passionate about your work and caring towards the animals. It is a treat to see. Keep up the good work. I am now catching up on your older videos. Thank you. Keep safe.
Never been on a farm for more than an hour. Didn't know this type of job existed. But I'm so glad there are people out there passionate about it. Thanks TH-cam.
You were soooo gentle trimming her feet. God bless you man. You do such a great job.
It's so comforting to watch you heal a beautiful cow and making her feet beautiful again~
again i write,,,,thanking you for the tenderness, skill, caring, and hard work you put toward these animals who cant speak of their pain. Your work is really a blessing to the animal, the owner, and to us for allowing us to see what all goes on in the process,,,,many thanks
I was today years old when I learned that cows have dewclaws. I absolutely love your videos!
Got on the freeway in Bakersfield Ca yesterday and I saw a truck pulling a Crush n I instantly yelled HOOF GPEEEE!!!!❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌
I am amazed by your professionalism and care for these lucky cows. Seconds before you mentioned Craig’s comments about how much easier your new crush makes the process for the trimmer and the cow, I was thinking the same thing. It is also much safer.
Having those two crushes in the same video with the same cow moving around in the first and steady in the second really showed how luxuriant the new crush is. So glad you have what looks like the best equipment to do your best work. 👍👏
GP thanks for showing us the beautiful landscape. I agree with others when it comes to you and the cows and bulls. You have so much compassion for them. You treat them like family. ♥️♥️♥️
I have been listening to your videos for almost two hours. Don't know how I happened to stumble upon them, but they are calming. I love animals.
It is so nice to see him wash a hoof first. I needed that thank you.
I don't know a whole lot about cows but I can see you have a lot of care and pride in the work you do for them. I love watching your videos!!
Love Hoof GP!!! I started watching because of the interesting pathology. But Grahams personality and really caring for his patients.
Thier Gods creatures we are in charge of thier care. So thankyou for your compassion and care. And for loving what you do. Its special people like you. 🙂♥️♥️♥️
LOVE the ariaL shots. Scotland is a beautiful country. And I definitely enjoy seeing the follow up video shots of cows that have been treated for some prior hoof problems. Plus all the explanations you provide to us non-cow city folks. Thank you Graeme!!!
I need a tiny crush like that for cutting my dogs nails 😂
Me too!
Me too, we have to basically hogtie my pug to do her nail even at vet office
😂 So do I! It would need to be that strong!
Our otherwise adorable little dog turns into a Tasmanian devil when it’s nail clipping time ...we’ve ended up having to go to the vets every four to five months and he gets sedated and nails trimmed and any other things checked..three different vets all tried to get him done without knocking him out and it was just too dangerous for staff as he could get out of any muzzle and bit several people , even with four people holding him he couldn’t be kept still and was just getting more and more terrified which we don’t want ...so now we pay out approx $160 every time his nails need trimming ....
Ha ha ,I was thinking the same thing. I have a lagotto I hat turns into a hysterical opera singer. I have made a construction that I can only use when it’s not raining. It go’s like this!
All you need is a big plastic bag from ikea yessssss the blue ones. I make 4 paw 🐾 holes in them. Then I use the old swing construction where the kids no longer play with ( grandma don’t be ridiculous). Put some climbing rope over the top. Now comes the hard part Bruno needs to go into the bag with in each hole one paw. Then the Bruno flag needs to go up the mast . Half way my grandson holds the ropes and Bruno looks at me with a “I will remember this “ but he hangs as still as can be😉. I finally can start clipping his nails and cutting the fur between the paws. Asking the vet what trick he uses to clip nails with this sort of hysterical behavior his answer was “just be patient that always works” when I was done laughing and calling him a coward with needles Bruno and I went home me telling him that we no longer go to that f*cking idiot😂.
Thank you for Showing Everyone you Truly Love your Job. You Care about Cows Feet.
✝️😊👍🏼🇺🇸
My kids and I really enjoy watching your videos! We watch you as well as Tom and Gareth. God bless you gentlemen for what you do for these animals.
It's so interesting to see the comments from people living in cities that finds this not only worth watching but also calming for their souls.
Just amazing to watch. Thanks for the videos. We owe such a lot to these wonderful creatures and the farmers and the people who care for them.
I've fallin into a hoof trimming worm hole. Your job seems so rewarding and it's clear you care for these animals.
I find every time you pick up a hoof that is sore I say the same thing, Oh, Poor cow! I enjoy when you fix the hoof so it can heal. Never been around cows but am totally addicted to your channel. Hello from Central Illinois, USA.
I couldn't tell you why I find this channel so satisfying, but I do. It could be the music, or maybe how much compassion and genuine love for the animals, or maybe even just hearing that delightful Scottish accent. I love this channel!
So glad she's doing so well! I'm always amazed at how quickly they recover.
Bovi-bond must be the most incredible adhesive on earth!
Hey guys..just wanted to stop by and say hi and God Bless you and your families. Keep up the amazing work you do. You truly are a God sent for all of these Cows, Cattle and Bulls! It truly takes a person like you with a heart of gold to do something you love and take care of these animals the way you do and it shows each and every time when the animals continue to get better and better with each and every visit. Truly amazing work!!
😇✨💛🐄🐂
I suppose that a cow is as much a living creature as you or I and also deserves to be treated with sensitivity and respect. So it's heartening to see how well looked after and taken care of they are.
As a relief milker I love to see these videos, habits of a nosey farmer, love to see how everyone else does it and how you trim the problem claws :)
I love how gentle you are with the sore toe.
Love to see someone upbeat loving the work and good that they do...love seeing Scotland, farms, and really enjoy the music!!
The more videos I watch of yours, the more I'm impressed with your skills and knowledge of your trade. Bravo!
Looks like that cow got her dancing shoes back. Thanks for the post.
these videos are so satisfying !!
For real
You're a good man. Skilled, compassionate and empathetic!
When cow 957 first went into the crush, I noticed her overgrown dew claws on her front feet. I’m learning!! Thank you! ❤️🐮
She's walking now!!! Great job GP! Stay safe and healthy. Thank you for sharing :-)
Love your videos. I stumbled on them a year ago and they are not only very intriguing and educational but they are very calming for my severe anxiety. You and Craig are awesome. Thank you!
Love how much you care for these animals. I have said sometimes animals treat people better then some people. But God always knew what he was doing . God Bless You
You are the Hoof Whisperer! Thanks for wearing the shield. My Dad lost an eye and it is a life changing loss!
You did yourself a blessing!❤️
I get so excited when you upload. I just rewatch older videos waiting for a new one:3
I'm so glad to see you using the new crush. I sure your back feels the difference! As you get older you'll appreciate every dollar/ pound spent in this very excellent piece of equipment.
That poor lady! Hope she heals well from it! ❤️ so glad there are people out there like you ❤️
I’m watching you this evening Mr Parker and I have it brings tears to my eyes you care so deeply l live in the us and I honestly never have such care for farm animals like that.God bless you . I live on a limited income . But I will pray for you.
Ever since I saw a comment saying they imagine the cows singing the songs I do that too and it makes me giggle every time.
My word, she looked like that first trim was hurting her! I was wincing along with her. But, what a difference a week makes! It was great to see her looking so much better. Well done
I am a simple man:i see The Hoof GP uploading, i watch and like
Thank you for the heart =3
She looked like she was smiling at the end. Thank you for taking care of her.
Your crush looks way safer for you to work on as well. You’re so careful when working on the cows. I for one thank you for that.
Have a fabulous week.
It’s good to see you so gentle with the cow when you revisited her
Great to see the animals getting regular care. I'm not sure why people would give it thumbs down.
Thank you 🙏🏽. As a nurse working in New York, I look forward to watching your new videos at the end of a difficult day.
I love seeing the updates on the cows x
Thank you for wearing a protective mask ! ! And a big thank you for taking great care of the poor cow 🐄 ! ! Keep up the awesome job ! !

... possibly on Friday!! Ill ask the farmer to oull her out specially for you guys to see .... and for me to check she's ok
@@TheHoofGP I can't wait! That cow was so special!
Awesome Graham thanks for taking the time to actually answer my question. Great channel indeed
The quality of this film is fine with me GP
Thanks!👍
Enjoy the videos for the content, and for the way the content's evolved over time. Glad you're having more fun with them now!
I love how the moomoos have designations like they are the Borg. Designation- Cow 957.
We are Cow.

Hi Graeme! Good video as always. I'm with Craig ... the new crush is far and away better ... y'all are standing straighter (fewer backaches) and the crush holds the cow better. Good job on this cow ... she's better for the work you've done. Cheers!
PS: Great drone pics ... beautiful country!
I love this guy and truly admire his passion in taking care of these animals.
So nice to see how fast the improvement started and the cow walking much better.
Graeme, I enjoy your music. It's relaxing at bedtime.
Do you Know their names?
Hey Graeme!! I like when you add in the trimming of all the feet even if there is no issues with them!! It's not boring at all, it's relaxing to watch!! Can you please add in some more footage like that in future videos? Be well, Cheers!!
I too think your compassion for these cows 🐄 sore feet is over the top 👍 good
I was in Scotland in 1981 for three weeks. I loved it, the Scots are the kindest people I have ever met. My Mom's family originally came from Scotland. I love your videos. Seeing the country side, hearing your accent, learning so much about cows, seeing the kids, your dogs, and your happy positive personality is wonderful.
I'll bet that claw "hoof catcher" is quite a shock each time the cow experiences it.
She's coming along pretty good. Another fine job of getting her sorted 🐮
As a former milk maid I love the compassion you have for the cattle. They deserve everything you do for them .bless you for your caring and healing touch for Gods beautiful creatures !
I don't know why but I find these videos oddly calming! Thanks for taking such good care of the cows, I'm impressed with how much the farmers care for their cattle and their comfort.
Just a thought if u change your category to educational youtube hopefully will stop giving you a hard time about any slightly gorey bits just a thought hope it helps. Love your videos u do amazing work xx
Am I the only one who has no interest in this career but still just watch the videos anyway
Same
Yep.
Yes! Ha ha
I dunno about you, but any job I can get covered in manure and piss all day long is my dream job.
same here,,,great skill, caring, and dedication to animals who have no other way of getting out of their pain
Amazing how much horn grows in two weeks! Great job Graeme! You're the best!
I want to tell you that I really enjoy your videos, You and the others are great and the music has been lovely.
