I can almost hear the cows giggling and saying, “It’s mani-pedi time! It’s mani- pedi time!” as they eagerly ran toward the crush. They seemed so happy. 😂
I thought they hated the Crush. Are they learning that, as much as they don't like it, it's actually good for them in the long run, so they've started accepting it as a necessary evil?
I love how the girls are excited for their pedicures, what a lovely thing to see happy cows. And for the ladies needing help, thank you for caring so much and appreciating the unique soul in each of them, and healing her pain. ❤
I really do love that he makes a point of telling us that the cows are taken care of and that the videos we see are the exception. That farmers do their absolute best to maintain and keep their cows as happy as possible is something we need to be reminded of.
Sometimes I like to imagine what the cows are thinking while they are in the crush. Like imagine going through your day, your foot hurts cause you banged it something, but hey such is life. Then, you get picked up by a big machine and your feet start moving. Then your like “Ow my foot” for a second and then it immediately feels better. Then when you start walking again, you can walk properly. I imagine if cows were capable of speech, they would be thanking you guys all the time❤️
I think maybe it's like some sea turtles that come in to the reef where certain fishes groom them. They get something out of it by eating the parasites. I think cows have a bit of understanding that it's beneficial, they just probably want to be out after so many minutes.
I like that this guy wasn’t afraid to admit when he went too deep, makes me like him more and shows that nobody is perfect and everybody makes a mistake every once in a while
Grahame, I want to thank you. I found you by accident when putting my then 8yo son to bed (he is 10 now). We watch YT together every night until he falls asleep & one of your videos popped up in my recommended. He insisted on watching even though you don’t fall within the genre of content we consume together. Not only is your channel educational, but you’re an amazing role model. My sons dad (ex husband) is not in the picture so through watching you he has witnessed an adult male demonstrate that so long as one loves what he does, is passionate about their work and profession, a job doesn’t have to feel like a job; plus you’re the perfect example of the power of positivity! Things go wrong and it’s no big deal - you adapt. Seeing a man display this behavior says so much about you as a person. Thank you. He adores your channel and I can see why - your personality & charisma radiate through the camera and are palpable to the audience. I’m so glad we stumbled upon you. You’re a ray of light and deserve every bit of this success. Keep it up! We look forward to every upload! With love from SC, USA.
@@blablablubku we read a ton! He’s gifted for his age - a 9yo with a reading level of an adult so it’s difficult to find content age appropriate at his reading level. We’ve been through multiple book series; Harry Potter being his favorite. Once we’ve read for a bit, he wants to watch TH-cam. Thanks for the “tip”.
I don’t know why Facebook sent me down a HoofGP rabbit hole but I am forever thankful for it. There’s something so relaxing about watching you take care of these animals. Thank you for everything you do and keep up the good work guys!!
Yeah, I did too. Being raised on a farm, I don't think any off our cows had this done; however, ours was not producing anything for public consumption.
Respect for switching to biodegradable wraps, some might say it’s really not much of a change but great to see you’re doing what you can nevertheless ❤
Honestly if theres not a significant difference in performance and they are basically the same price, theres not really a valid reason NOT to so yeah, Im glad those are getting more use! It does seem like the convenience alone may justify a slightly higher price, let alone the environmental benefits. Its like metal straws or LEDs, sure they are better for the environment but never having to buy new straws and never needing to change lightbulbs is just kinda worth it anyway lol
Biodegradable instead of bandages which are not will make a difference to the soil in the long run. We eat plenty of plastic and rubber without growing our cow’s grass in it, so I believe every doing what we makes a difference regardless of how small. Reusable grocery bags are an example, and it adds up.
My dad was in the Navy and he always said that it takes each person to keep the ship afloat. Even if your job seems unimportant and small, usually that isn't the case. Good teamwork is hard to find and it's awesome to see how the Hoof GP has such great people on hand to help the animals we were put here on earth to take care of. Hopefully you don't ever find a hoof so hard you can't cut through them.
Its as drawing in as watching earwax getting cleared from peoples obstructed ears or watching pimples get popped.....its like a train wreck you just can't look away
I think it's so important that you make these videos. Not only are they entertaining, they are vital to inform the public of the lengths that you and the farmers go through to help us put food on the table.
I spent the holiday weekend with my parents and showed my dad your videos. He was blown away by your commitment and love for your work. He was glued to the tv. It was so wholesome 😭💖
I have been scared of cows amongst other creatures most of my life but watching your channel has changed my perception of them completely. They have such beautiful eyes and I had never noticed it before ♥️♥️♥️♥️. Thank you for changing my feelings.
Talking about a pet cow. We raised a steer in our back yard in the city limits. He was so fun until his horns grew out. He still was a lover. When we finally introduced him to herd he was our best mover. My dad taught the cattle to come to his truck when he honked the horn. Freckles (the steer's name) would be the lead steer and all the other cows would follow him without having to put up a temp fence to keep them from running off across a road. .
I am a keen follower of The HoofGP, but rarely comment, until now.... It was that moment when Graham comforts the cow, around the 19 mins mark.... so tender, so loving. Beautiful. 💓💓☺💓💓 Thank you Team HoofGP. God bless yous. Anna x
I am another person who doesn't have cows, is not a farmer but is addicted to these videos. Not all the different trimmers, I just love seeing the scenery of Scotland and hearing his accent.
Hello Grahame, I've enjoyed your videos for a couple years and I wanted to thank you for this content. It really warms my heart to see people taking so much care and compassion to aide and maintain these beautiful cows. Keep it up Sir, your humanity is not lost.
It’s no wonder that last lady was talking to you. She was telling you that she has a problem and she’s glad you are here to fix it. I truly believe that the cows do know that you are there to help them even if they don’t understand what it is that you do.
Fun fact: Did you know that cows have a good memory and remember who you are. Some cows even fall in love with humans, so a cow could potentially be your soulmate.
The last trim... bless that poor cow! My heart just melted seeing her face & how much you truly care about these beautiful creatures. I hope she heals up nicely without any complications!
My wife and I have really enjoyed watching Graham and the guys for at least 3 years. Love in Columbia Tennessee. We joke about wanting to stop and check the cows hooves that are all around us. Favorite channel on TH-cam.
I love the compassion that you have for your beautiful patients. The cows are so beautiful. And it's 100% therapeutic watching tackle a trim. Thanks for bringing us along
You are so good to these cows, you treat them nice and your so sweet to them, no matter if your in a hurry, you take the time to pet the cows and they calm down right away. They know you , maybe they are running to the crush so they can get some pets from you!❤️ I appreciate that you are so gental with their feet.
It's honestly wonderful to see someone work with family and see so much genuine affection. You seem to be a very compassionate and loving man, and I'm happy to see there is still good in the world.
I grew up on a farm with beef cows. I always have found cows to be wonderful, fun animals. Watching you brings back memories of my dad trimming hooves. Thank you.
Im crying it truely makes her feel she was more than just one of the cow's you worked on. She know you cared beyond just the working in her sore foot. You showed her you personally care and don't mean ti cause her more pain. I could feel her energy and it was such loving thank you energy. N she could feel your❤
Hello to the herd! Graeme, I love the mention of the herd on the coffee mug. I'm not a hoof trimmer, but thanks to your great teaching I'm surprised how much of the terminology I know & steps of trimming. I love that those sweet cows get some head rubs & a bit of love while in the crush. 💚 🐄 🧡 🐂 💚
Wow I love watching you all as a part of my down time winding down at the end of my day. It is tonight 11.30pm Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time. (EDST). I am from Sunshine Bay NSW (Batemans Bay). So thanks from Louise as we have dairy farmers on our coast and there is nothing like pure cows milk. Love how much goes into caring for cows and love too learning so much as we had cows when I was a little girl living in the middle of NSW on a small property. Thank you for sharing your videos as love seeing your part of the world too. Thanks again Louise from Australia 🇦🇺.
I love the sound of her soft, low moos. Very soothing. Graeme, go ahead and get yourself a cow. Maybe a nice little Jersey. Or a Scottish Highlander. Or both! 😉😄
It has become my routine to watch these videos at around dinnertime as I wait for food to finish cooking :) I've been watching since the middle of lockdown and it never gets boring seeing you enthusiastic, happy and helping these cows feel better. 😊
From what I’ve seen of other videos, they seem like they may just switch to a new set of tools in that case (new knife and new grinder blade). I’m not a part of the team though so take my word with a grain of salt.
No logro entender por qué no lava la pata de la vaca antes de comenzar a sacar la infección con el mismo utensilio...Al juntar estiércol con el utensilio lleva más infección a esa herida. 😮
Cordless car washer helps wash the hooves. A dip of knife in Iodine solution can sterilise the knives or heating the knives with a small butane / torch can sterilise the knives.
@@hanab1s1gn76I know they always clean the crush before moving on to other next farm so as not to cross contaminate but not sure about the knives or grinder blades but cross contamination is up there as a great concern and they always do their best to prevent it..
I was so deep in concentration watching G trim away the cow’s super thin layer of hoof horn that when it cut to Craig ready with the block and glue, all goofy , I busted out laughing! 😂 It’s a pleasure how you all work well together for the good of these beautiful cows. 🐄
This was a great video. It's always good to see both the good feet and the bad. It's always good to see a bad foot be treated, and even better to be reminded that the goal of it all is to have as many "uninteresting" routine trims as possible.
Oh man, you are just the sweetest guy who really cares for the lucky gals who get your affection. Because of you, they will trust us humans and enjoy their lives. There’s so many precious ladies who could only wish to get your gentle hand. God Bless You, and your friends!
I have been watching your channel forever, I would love to thank you for helping animals that can’t help themselves, you are a angel in Gods eyes. God Bless you and your family and friends.
Fantastic as always. I absolutely love seeing the care and attention you give to those lovely cows. You three are the perfect team doing your absolute best for the animals, and that really comes across in your videos. Keep up the excellent work!
I cried a little bit for the cow, but seeing how you do your job and caring for this cow made me cry a bit more. Thank you for making a difference and say cheers to the farmer. It’s beautiful to see that they care for their animals 💜
Hello! My three girls and I love watching The Hoof GP! We haven been watching now for over a year and have been fascinated with trim! We are so amazed with your knowledge and skill as you address each hoof and impressed with the level of care you show for each cow! Watching all the way from SC, USA!
Those are some really neat looking shirts 👕 my disability check doesn't get in for a couple of weeks yet, I do hope you will have a mug left but doubt if I can be on time for your shirts. However that certainly doesn't take away from how awesome they really are, teaching and 😊 tailored 😊 who knew you were such an amazing designer.❤😊 Once again another great video. Very relaxing and love to watch. God bless your whole team. ❤😊 Big Hello from Angola Indiana You guys are the best!!!
I have learned so much about cow's since watching your video's please continue your work your truly making a difference for the cow's and farmer's your helping.
This has gotten randomly recommended to me and I absolutely love it. I grew up on a farm and used to help the hoof trimmer with our cows. We unfortunately had to sell our farm and cows included due to increasing issues of South Africa and farms. Thank you for your work, cows would suffer without your work.
That sucks, I hate when small family operations are pushed out my the corporate machine! Esp. It's a good business that cares for its customers, it's finished product and esp. It's commodity if it's a living thing.
Probably one of my favourite videos so far. The routine of the trim, the teamwork and anticipation, and the camaraderie and banter is lovely to watch. The occasional issue is great to see too, but I really enjoy the routine and the flow through best. Keep up the good work team, and by team I also mean your families as you couldn't do such a good job without the support behind you.
I love the banter between you and your bro- in - laws .... it makes me giggle. Not only do you love your job......you get to do it with your family at the same time...and make awesome videos as well .....luv from Australia
He showed a cow awhile ago that just didn't get better and was getting worse. He mentioned that the hoof got to be so painful that the only humane thing to do was what was necessary. A true loss.😞
Yes unfortunately. Some result in a toe amputation but its rare. I think Graeme showed one cow last year that had one toe. Others their feet are always weak and need constant care. In the wild they would just die or be hunted down.
Great to see the run of the mill trims along with some problem trims. I’m a horseman myself but live in dairy farming community. And work at a local feed and farm supply store. Love your content
I LOVE that you care so much about all the cows you care for. It is good therapy to watch you guys making happy cows and bulls. Thank you so much for sharing! (Also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your beautiful accent too!)
I love watching these vids, its very doubtful i will ever trim a cows hoof but its still soooo intresting to watch, another thing i love is how honest you are, some people would never admit that they didnt expect the cavities to be there nor would they admit that they went very slighty too deep on one of the cuts but you do, its what makes you a fantastic teacher and also a great person to watch 💖 As for Craig i will admit he really made me laugh when he said about his costa cup, im sure your mugs are superior to costas anyday 😊💖😊
Y’all are so great with these fur babies ❤ I will have to get a t-shirt and a coffee mug ☕️. I enjoy watching all of y’all work together and make the cows 🐄 happy 😊
I was worried about that last cow’s hoof wounds were on the verge of toe necrosis. Would it have progressed into that? I’m glad that you caught it in time.
The average dairy farm has what 500 minimum to 1200 cows it seems from the channels I watch. Your videos cover 1 or 2 problems per video. So through out your week you see I'm guessing let's say 10 cows a week tops that are a problem out of several 100 you see a week. So that's about 1% have an issue.
500-1200 is maybe a little much for Europe but your analogy makes sense not the less. My mum was an podiatrist (hoofcare for mostly people with diabetes if you will) and the amount of people with problematic feet is probably in the same range if not higher.
Not all of the cows are done at a time. I believe in a previous video he stated that they may only see 20 to 60 at a time. And then a different group the next time they go to that farm. The vast majority don't have any problems.
I am an accountant in the suburbs of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I have never touched a cow. How did I end up watching hour after hour of hoof trimming in Scotland??? I will never utilize the 5 step Danish method, I will never need to determine which foot a cow is lame on, and I will never have to differentiate a sole ulcer from a white line defect. But, thanks to the Hood GP and the herd I know what all of that means!!! Love you guys!
I have noticed you never take off huge chunks of horn other than the first cut of the heel bulb. That shows just how careful you are. I used to be concerned when the animal would bleed, thinking perhaps you were not paying attention as you should. Then I saw the lesion bleed just from spraying it with the bottle and realized how delicate and prone to injury that tissue is.
It's great you spent some time at the front end of the cow this video :). I'm sure the scratches and attention helps with their stress level. True cowpassion. :)
Have been watching for some time. I really appreciate that the majority of this video is focused on the normal operation of trimming the cows. It is a pleasure to watch.
GP: I am so glad for you and Ashley that you have chosen a career path so rewarding. It is refreshing to see a man doing such meaningful work in this world. I chose to be a computer programmer, and I have greatly enjoyed using my skill in this direction for the needs of businesses, but displaying reports and processing rows of information haven't given themselves to a record of leaving the world better than I found it, nor have I been able to drive through beautiful Scottish countryside! Maybe RBS needs a good computer man from the States? Cheers, sir, you make a very big difference, and I wish you every success.
When I’ve had enough of this world and so much of its nonsense, I catch a HGP video and it’s chicken soup and good vibes 😎 all around! Thank you HGP and the Team there…I believe I’d prefer to be a cow in your care than a witness to the opposite of Peace on Earth Good Will To Men that is all around. You guys are the BEST weather no matter the storm everywhere else. Peace ☮️ and Love ❤️ to you and yours. Thanks for being there.

If digital dermatitis is so infectious do you have to sterilize your blades or tools prior to starting the next cow
From what I’ve seen of other videos, they seem like they may just switch to a new set of tools in that case (new knife and new grinder blade). I’m not a part of the team though so take my word with a grain of salt.
Yeah they sanitize them or change the knifes and blades. That’s what the other guys do. Lol getting the tools ready for the next.
No logro entender por qué no lava la pata de la vaca antes de comenzar a sacar la infección con el mismo utensilio...Al juntar estiércol con el utensilio lleva más infección a esa herida. 😮
Cordless car washer helps wash the hooves.
A dip of knife in Iodine solution can sterilise the knives or heating the knives with a small butane / torch can sterilise the knives.
@@hanab1s1gn76I know they always clean the crush before moving on to other next farm so as not to cross contaminate but not sure about the knives or grinder blades but cross contamination is up there as a great concern and they always do their best to prevent it..
I was so deep in concentration watching G trim away the cow’s super thin layer of hoof horn that when it cut to Craig ready with the block and glue, all goofy , I busted out laughing! 😂 It’s a pleasure how you all work well together for the good of these beautiful cows. 🐄
This was a great video. It's always good to see both the good feet and the bad. It's always good to see a bad foot be treated, and even better to be reminded that the goal of it all is to have as many "uninteresting" routine trims as possible.
Oh man, you are just the sweetest guy who really cares for the lucky gals who get your affection. Because of you, they will trust us humans and enjoy their lives. There’s so many precious ladies who could only wish to get your gentle hand. God Bless You, and your friends!
I have been watching your channel forever, I would love to thank you for helping animals that can’t help themselves, you are a angel in Gods eyes. God Bless you and your family and friends.
Lovely to see you taking such good care of these lovely animals. A labour of love. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you from Spain.
Fantastic as always. I absolutely love seeing the care and attention you give to those lovely cows. You three are the perfect team doing your absolute best for the animals, and that really comes across in your videos. Keep up the excellent work!
I cried a little bit for the cow, but seeing how you do your job and caring for this cow made me cry a bit more. Thank you for making a difference and say cheers to the farmer. It’s beautiful to see that they care for their animals 💜
Hello! My three girls and I love watching The Hoof GP! We haven been watching now for over a year and have been fascinated with trim! We are so amazed with your knowledge and skill as you address each hoof and impressed with the level of care you show for each cow! Watching all the way from SC, USA!
Your love caring and compassion for these animals is always appreciated and respected, thank you.
That last trim was just amazing work. Im looking forward to seeing her in a future episode.
Thank you so much guys. I love to watch you all working. God bless.
Those are some really neat looking shirts 👕 my disability check doesn't get in for a couple of weeks yet, I do hope you will have a mug left but doubt if I can be on time for your shirts. However that certainly doesn't take away from how awesome they really are, teaching and 😊 tailored 😊 who knew you were such an amazing designer.❤😊 Once again another great video. Very relaxing and love to watch. God bless your whole team. ❤😊 Big Hello from Angola Indiana You guys are the best!!!
I have learned so much about cow's since watching your video's please continue your work your truly making a difference for the cow's and farmer's your helping.
This has gotten randomly recommended to me and I absolutely love it. I grew up on a farm and used to help the hoof trimmer with our cows. We unfortunately had to sell our farm and cows included due to increasing issues of South Africa and farms. Thank you for your work, cows would suffer without your work.
Nehh bru us I Namibia are babalas😂
That sucks, I hate when small family operations are pushed out my the corporate machine! Esp. It's a good business that cares for its customers, it's finished product and esp. It's commodity if it's a living thing.
Thank you so much for helping them. Cows are such gentle giants. It's wonderful to see you actually love them and care for them too.
I so love that you are such a great team! Graeme you giving love to the cow by giving her rubs just so how much you care about animals 😊❤
Probably one of my favourite videos so far. The routine of the trim, the teamwork and anticipation, and the camaraderie and banter is lovely to watch. The occasional issue is great to see too, but I really enjoy the routine and the flow through best.
Keep up the good work team, and by team I also mean your families as you couldn't do such a good job without the support behind you.
i cant believe im hooked on watching cows feet being trimmed ..im lovin it...his accent and the trimming is so therapeutic..!!!
Man I love it when you do videos that are this long. More content and more we learn. Need more content this long
Love the cups!!!!!! I watch you and I love that you guys have so much compassion for these animals 💜🙏🏼🙏🏼💜🫶🏼👊🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🤩
I love the banter between you and your bro- in - laws .... it makes me giggle. Not only do you love your job......you get to do it with your family at the same time...and make awesome videos as well .....luv from Australia
You were so sweet to her giving her pets to calm her down ❤
Does a hoof ever get beyond you or vet's care. You are so loving to everyone, animal and human alike. The world needs more people like you. ❤
He showed a cow awhile ago that just didn't get better and was getting worse.
He mentioned that the hoof got to be so painful that the only humane thing to do was what was necessary.
A true loss.😞
Toe necrosis
Yes unfortunately. Some result in a toe amputation but its rare. I think Graeme showed one cow last year that had one toe. Others their feet are always weak and need constant care. In the wild they would just die or be hunted down.
Great to see the run of the mill trims along with some problem trims. I’m a horseman myself but live in dairy farming community. And work at a local feed and farm supply store. Love your content
Aww, sweet girl ❤ hoping she heals super fast. I love that there's room for fun and brotherly love as well as trimming 🥰
I LOVE that you care so much about all the cows you care for. It is good therapy to watch you guys making happy cows and bulls. Thank you so much for sharing! (Also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your beautiful accent too!)
I love watching these vids, its very doubtful i will ever trim a cows hoof but its still soooo intresting to watch, another thing i love is how honest you are, some people would never admit that they didnt expect the cavities to be there nor would they admit that they went very slighty too deep on one of the cuts but you do, its what makes you a fantastic teacher and also a great person to watch 💖
As for Craig i will admit he really made me laugh when he said about his costa cup, im sure your mugs are superior to costas anyday 😊💖😊
I love how the cows are just extended in the air, they are probably loving it getting the weight off their feet and being able to just relax
I love that you’ve begun to add a lot of music again. It’s very relaxing and helped me through the pandemic when I first discovered your videos.
Graeme,
It's amazing how you care for these girls like they were your 'children', I admire your being 'proactive'.
This was an extremely satisfying trim to watch. Always appreciate the care you put into your work.
Y’all are so great with these fur babies ❤ I will have to get a t-shirt and a coffee mug ☕️. I enjoy watching all of y’all work together and make the cows 🐄 happy 😊
I was worried about that last cow’s hoof wounds were on the verge of toe necrosis. Would it have progressed into that? I’m glad that you caught it in time.
Poor Craig!!! Sending you a hug and a kiss from Ohio, USA!!!
I love the shirts! I have enjoyed watching your channel for a few years now and it always brightens my day when HoofGP posts. Have an amazing day
I'm a new watcher and the love and care you show the cows makes me so happy.
The average dairy farm has what 500 minimum to 1200 cows it seems from the channels I watch. Your videos cover 1 or 2 problems per video. So through out your week you see I'm guessing let's say 10 cows a week tops that are a problem out of several 100 you see a week. So that's about 1% have an issue.
Yeah, id love to hear some statistics on that. 😊
500-1200 is maybe a little much for Europe but your analogy makes sense not the less. My mum was an podiatrist (hoofcare for mostly people with diabetes if you will) and the amount of people with problematic feet is probably in the same range if not higher.
Not all of the cows are done at a time. I believe in a previous video he stated that they may only see 20 to 60 at a time. And then a different group the next time they go to that farm. The vast majority don't have any problems.
Eight months! Wow. I’m glad you said that, I wanted to ask but didn’t want to sound foolish.
Yep
I am an accountant in the suburbs of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I have never touched a cow. How did I end up watching hour after hour of hoof trimming in Scotland??? I will never utilize the 5 step Danish method, I will never need to determine which foot a cow is lame on, and I will never have to differentiate a sole ulcer from a white line defect. But, thanks to the Hood GP and the herd I know what all of that means!!! Love you guys!
I have noticed you never take off huge chunks of horn other than the first cut of the heel bulb. That shows just how careful you are. I used to be concerned when the animal would bleed, thinking perhaps you were not paying attention as you should. Then I saw the lesion bleed just from spraying it with the bottle and realized how delicate and prone to injury that tissue is.
It's good to see you petting and loving on the cow to calm her down.. Someone who loves his job
Thanks Graham, I'd never really thought of cows having feet problems. A cow farrier was not a job of heard of.😐
It's great you spent some time at the front end of the cow this video :). I'm sure the scratches and attention helps with their stress level. True cowpassion. :)
I love the love you show for the animals you service. You are an amazing person! 19:59
Have been watching for some time. I really appreciate that the majority of this video is focused on the normal operation of trimming the cows. It is a pleasure to watch.
I love how you put your brothers in law to work for you ❤❤❤ so nice it help you and them and now creg has his own channel 🥳
GP: I am so glad for you and Ashley that you have chosen a career path so rewarding. It is refreshing to see a man doing such meaningful work in this world. I chose to be a computer programmer, and I have greatly enjoyed using my skill in this direction for the needs of businesses, but displaying reports and processing rows of information haven't given themselves to a record of leaving the world better than I found it, nor have I been able to drive through beautiful Scottish countryside! Maybe RBS needs a good computer man from the States? Cheers, sir, you make a very big difference, and I wish you every success.
Amazing knife work. Your care and devotion to your profession is outstanding. Love the team work. Also love the longer videos.
When I’ve had enough of this world and so much of its nonsense, I catch a HGP video and it’s chicken soup and good vibes 😎 all around! Thank you HGP and the Team there…I believe I’d prefer to be a cow in your care than a witness to the opposite of Peace on Earth Good Will To Men that is all around. You guys are the BEST weather no matter the storm everywhere else. Peace ☮️ and Love ❤️ to you and yours. Thanks for being there.
Impressive as always! I would really like a Hoof GP key ring, if you could think about adding this to the merch list.
