I can’t believe I am addicted to the Hoof GP. I live in a city and only see cows in a field when I drive to the country. )Which is rare). I saw my first cow when I was 9 when I went to camp in Vermont. I’m impressed with how charming you are. Thanks for the wonderful entertainment at the hoof end of a cow or bull. You are adorable and I just love you, and I’m old enough to be your grandma! 😉😍😘
I’m 70, and I also live in a city In Florida. I’ve been watching from the very beginning; Hoof GP never fails to impress. My grandparents had a farm,so watching this channel stirs up really nice memories 🤗…
@@TheKomentor He has said before that he could but there's no benefit to it for every trim, it makes no difference to the outcome. If he needs a better look at an injury then he will.
The fact that you point out a different school of trimming and how you incorporate aspects of it...so cool. I also really liked how you made a point of saying "if you were a vet you would cut it away, but I'm not". Some of the other contributors would go for the bloody content to get views regardless of the cows health. And yes, those feet look much neater.
I was shocked to see someone on another channel hit blood right away. Graeme is so careful not to. The gent on the other channel was hacking away with a dull knife, it took forever, and I didn't trust him. He was not a newbie, either.
Being open to other ways of doing something means you're also open to learning if a better method is developed. That's a good attitude for any profession. As for not cutting into live tissue, yes he avoids it. There's a lot more that goes into a surgical procedure like that than just a scalpel. The cool thing is with proper hoof trimming, a lot of these cows and bulls get to avoid getting to the point they need a vet.
@@hilarypower6217 correct. The UK makes a point of prosecuting every few years very publically anyone contravening animal welfare laws as a professional that isn't a vet it seems.
It's all plant based, even their manure. There are bacteria's and stuff even in the fields but meat anything cause a whole different sort of beasty infections.
LOL, I get it, I have the same when he keeps mentioning 'the Dutch method'. Especially if you know that usually anything "dutch something" is generally not a very positive thing in the UK /english language (dutch courage: the false courage you only feel when drunk on alcohol etc.etc.). We have a long long history of interesting battles so it is understandable why it came to be part of the language (we both have some interesting, unflattering expressions regarding the French and Germans as well). I think the Kansas method is really practical and based on keen observation, kind of what you would expect from your knack of the woods. :)
I'm old enough to be your grandmother too, so there's old ladies watching you. I owned horses in my life, we had had cows in the pastures, but I never paid much attention to them. OMG do you work hard! And you're cuter than a bug's ear. I love your accent, it just adds to your looks and kindness. Keep up the good work and thank you for showing everyone what it takes to take care of cattle. I know owning livestock is not easy or cheap.
Anyone who watches Cragie Boy would have remembered seeing this big bull walking along with the coos. Your channels compliment each other so well! Much love from Nova Scotia!
I always thought Nova Scotia was just a made up name, for a made up place, for "You're So Vain" Carly Simon 😶🌫I was very young at the time 🤪haha!!! I've always loved the name of the Canadian Provence since💞
@@red-inmy-50s-temper-dont-match What's funny/ironic about this is that there is a solar eclipse tonight! lol "you flew your Leer jet up to NS to watch a total eclipse of the sun" ahhaha If you were to look up NS, you'd find that a lot of our towns and villages are named after places in Scotland...for instance, we have a place called New Glasgow. We also have an area in Cape Breton, called the highlands and people still speak the Gaelic language there.
@@kristinacleveland1805 I noticed the Scottish names too!! I also, love the Irish twang some Canadians have 🤭 I have to say, you are seriously the double of one of my nieces, from what I can see from the little picture lol If you tell me you're 28/29, have a girl and boy then it is really, spooky!! haha much love jacq
I am a huge fan from the USA. I tried watching a few different hoof trimming channels from the states, and I just cannot jive with them. U r so respectful to the animals and the farmers....thank u for that
Our family was hoping we would see the bull since we got a sneak peek on Craig's video! Thank you for explaining and giving an inside view to your daily work. Enjoy your ☕️ and your weekend!
All you need is a giant aggravated one ton customer in serious pain! And no anesthetic! Good luck Graeme! Hope he appreciates your concern and courage! 😊Those feet are as big as your head!!
I recently discovered your channel and it’s been absolutely fascinating! I’m going to veterinary school in the UK next year, so I’m sure I’ll be learning to do this at some point:) thank you for such informative content
At vet school we were only taught the theory related to horse hoof trimming. We never got any practical experience trimming any animal's hoofs. You will be a vet when you are done studying and not a hoof trimmer
Highly recommend checking out Pete Ramey articles and videos for getting some good background on equine hoof trimming. Vets have very variable knowledge and often just recommend a 'master farrier' but especially with navicular horses the worst thing for an unhealthy hoof is often a metal shoe. Many other trimmers are frankly butchers on TH-cam as well. If I could find an equine vet with great equine podiatry knowledge and who knew what DSLD was, I would be forever on their books and they would get cake, coffee, wine etc every call out.
When you see pith, you incorporate the pith method. Makes sense. 👍🏻 I said digital dermatitis, so you’ve taught me well, Graeme! Pretty song! You made that chappy happy!💕
I don't know exactly how to explain this, but I have a soft spot for bulls because of how horrible they're treated in some countries. So it truly warms my heart every time I see a bull that is well taken care of. Thank you for helping this beautiful boy.
Watching your face as you work is almost as interesting as the trim itself. Your banter belies the amount of concentration you put into your work. Love this channel.
I find your videos very interesting. I am a 79 year old granny but I enjoy seeing about the care of animals. Never knew so much work goes into keeping the animals healthy. I like that you explain things clearly and say things like. I cannot do "this" because that is for a vet. You are a responsible person. I like to introduce interesting things into conversations and have talked about you and your shows. Glad you got such a nice, new crush for your work. Who sings your theme song. It's really great.
Aww, what a beautiful big boy, he is absolutely massive, no wonder he wasn’t a happy camper, thanks to you Graham, he’s happy and healthy and back with his lovely ladies, great job, take care.👍💚
He’s a real beaut but not sure I would want to be that close. Have to say I love the videos they relax me and very addictive happy weekend mr and Mrs HGP and family
As someone that lives in Kansas I can understand why a trimmer would create a method centered around the pith because our climate is so dry most of the year. Definitely loads drier then in Scotland although we’re currently in a drought so it’s worse then usual. We finally got a decent amount of rain for the first time this year, but it came with tornados which I could do without.
I've been watching Ryan Hall on TH-cam. He does live streams when there is a chance for many tornadoes and stays in touch with storm chasers. Also he does education far in advance on what causes the storms that are coming, or when they aren't. He is way better than a TV weather report. His chasers can tell you where the tornadoes are touching down - or in winter, he'd tell us when it was time to buy milk and bread.
@@wandasetzer1469 Sounds like a trustworthy guy right there. I have a phobia of tornadoes and usually live in the desert areas to avoid anything major. Honestly my gma told me to "pick your disaster" depending on where you live. I chose earthquakes.
My wife and I are huge fans of the hoof gp! We love your channel and everything you have shared with us. If I may ask please do a show on how your tools are sharpened. That is one area we have questions about how to get them so sharp. Please never stop sharing your joy and enthusiasm for your job with us. Kind regards, The Hurwitz family in Virginia.
I love how you edited this video. And I too, LOVE that song! Thanks for what you do. It seems every time you treat a cow (or bull) that is lame, as they leave the crush, they look back at you, as if to say "thank you, kind sir".
Southern California here! Love your story it's very relaxing. Watch you all the time. Even my 2 year old daughter likes your videos. She loves all things farm. God bless you and your care for these animals.
I know it is something commonly mentioned in your videos that the wall horn is so much harder than the soul horn but I don't think I've ever noticed the grinder actually struggle a little at about 1min 20sec. Bulls hooves are something else! Thanks for another great video!
As a truck driver I see hundreds of thousands of cows as I drive. your video gives me a better understanding of the care farmers put in to keeping them in top shape. Make you appreciative of what on your plate.
I'm an English man in mexico and I'm addicted to seeing cows feet get trimmed....wtf....I would of never thought this would be so entertaining. Keep up the good work hooth gp.....
I’m in Kansas! I was so pleased to hear you mention my state. I love watching your videos. You have really grown with your videos and storytelling. You are a joy to watch.
New herd member right here. Been watching for a few weeks constantly. We will be visiting Scotland shortly 😀 😊 and I can't wait. Thank you for giving us new knowledge (even those of us who aren't in farming). I didn't realise how ignorant of the dairy and meat industries that I was. Thank you for opening my eyes and teaching me new things.
I've been following your channel long enough that I remember when you first started to use eye protection. I think about 3 years ago now. It has been amazing to watch your channel grow and develop. Your top notch videos still have me wanting more every time.
I was just going to make a comment about you not wearing eye protection when you mentioned it. :) You will eventually get a big piece of hoof in your eye and from then on you will wear safety glasses. I just hope it doesn't do major damage to your eye. I've noticed that farmers in general, and Europeans in particular don't take safety very seriously. We Americans have possibly gone too far in the other direction. The last company I worked for had a policy that we always had to wear safety glasses in "the lab." I was a software engineer and the lab I worked in had nothing but computers. I asked them if they were afraid that we would get data bits in our eyes. :)
Having had an eye injury at work I always notice when other people wear or don't wear eye protection. The flip down visor is probably the best choice for this job, but it wouldn't hurt to invest in some safety glasses that can hang out in the tool cubbies in both crushes. There are several brands out there that have a light mirror tint that are great in lower light situations and very comfortable. Buy a case, put a dozen in each crush, replace as needed. That way you have back up if something happens to the visors. Also available in sizes that would fit the kids so they could get in closer to learn the trade!
I live in a city in New Brunswick, Canada, but my parents are from Prince Edward Island where there are a lot of dairy farms. I’ve often visited there and as a result been surrounded by cattle; I had *no* idea that there are different “styles” for hoof trimming!! I am so glad to have stumbled upon this channel and very much appreciate your work and genuine kindness towards each animal.
In Building Trades, 8th grade, I learned that the very center of a tree is called the Pith. My teacher was really great and would always give you something to help you remember things. I remember this because he said that when the tree was very small coming out of the ground, a rabbit came up and pithed on it.
That’s awesome. Those are the best kind of teachers. Ones that have an actual passion for what they are doing. It makes a big diff on how kids succeed in their classes. I had one. He was amazing and I never did better in a class.
I'm so grateful that you took the time to to start a channel this is so fascinating you may think it's routine cuz you did it so long but every part of this is interesting and fascinating and I am so grateful you're forever subscriber Michael
Hello from Virginia, USA! I don’t live on a farm or near a farm..and never have…but I love your videos! Love to watch the bovine pedicures! 😆 Hoof GP just randomly appeared in my recommended videos, and I subscribed almost immediately. Fabulous stuff!
I don't know if you have read any of my comments. But I can't believe it myself that most evenings I find your videos relaxing, entertaining and very informative. Anyone can see the love you have for those animals and what you do. Thank you for what you do in behalf of the cows and bulls. David from Trinidad
David, you might enjoy a couple of channels that I stumbled across. They're also the reason I found Hoof GP. Check out @Iowadairyfarmer and @TDF Honest Farming.
I've always wanted to be a veterinarian and love on a farm. Now that I've seen this, I want to be able to do these things too. I just think it's great to help out animals, its amazing to see them recover after they are in pain.
wow! I didn't know there were different styles of trimming that's so interesting!! I love how he looked back when he stepped out of the crush like he was saying thank you!! It'll take that poor guy a bit to get used to walking on good trimmed hoofs again.
Hello Graeme. I love your videos and binge watch the older ones when I can. I never thought I would ever watch hoof trimming. Keep up the good work. Oh if you can can you put the names of the songs in the description too. Many thanks.
I don’t know if you’ve done it already or not, Graeme, but if you haven’t, I’m sure a lot of people would like a playlist of the songs you use in all your videos someday!
Love you, love this channel and I love animals - and, I REALLY enjoy the music you share. I'm married to a Scotsman from the US so someday hope to come visit your homeland. Thank you for the wonderful content - I, like so many others, am truly addicted to the HoofGP!!
I saw him walk in on Craig's channel yesterday. I knew he wasn't a "happy chappie", but couldn't figure out which foot. Thank you very much for showing us that he is now much better, or will be soon.
Hi hoof GP this is Michelle from California love your videos and thank you for giving me the link to James and James gave me the link to Robert I think you guys are all amazing for sharing your little bit of Scotland it is so beautiful there so thanks for sharing your family and your love for your jobs
I have fallen in love with these videos, and I'm actually seeing how I can use some of what you've shown for my own work when I manage to start some fantasy comics I hope to do!
I live in the US and was watching horse content when one of your videos popped up. Now I'm subscribed!! Can't stop watching!! I think you're funny, and I like your wife and kids being on here, too!! Your griend/helper is funny, too!! Very informative videos!!!
I love watching this channel while I work (in email marketing, living in a city). It’s informative, entertaining, and I get to see so many kinds of cows!! A newer subscriber but I’ve probably cruised through over half of your videos 😅 thank you for what you do!!
Man, I never thought this would interest me but in some strange way I love this TH-cam channel. It’s amazing what you do for them cows/bulls Awesome work Bro! Stay Blessed!
Hello Graeme & the "Hoof GP Herd". Graeme how right you are, we do all need a bit of "squish" room. Especially on holidays & we eat too much & our clothes become a bit too tight, squish room would be great! 🤣🤣 Hope you're having a great weekend Graeme. 🖤 🐄 🤍 🐂 🤎
I love the music you use in your videos. I use the one you put together a wile back of all the music to fall asleep when your regular videos are too much to sleep to at 2am ❤
Hello GP I would like to wish you a happy milk day and we are also celebrating June is dairy month very much enjoyed your video as always and I enjoyed when you show a little bit about your family and it's very nice to see thank you enjoy the day
The Hoof GP has really brought something no one really thinks about when it comes to raising cattle, and I love it. You have so many “animal rights activists” that say we need to leave these animals alone, and it just shows that they can’t be left alone. They need to be cared for or they’d die horrible, preventable deaths. The Hoof GP shines such an important light on ignorance and I’m, honestly, so thankful for him, his work, and others who do this stuff. No fame, no commissions, no bonuses. Just pure care and love for animals
Hello Graham, glad to see you could help that very handsome bull. I think he had to walk well even if his feet were hurting him, because his ladies would see.
Hello, Have you ever had a rotten infected hoof that smelt bad or was bad enough to make you gag or throw up? I am very impressed with your stomach for this. I somehow can smell this environment you are in. I used to go with my dad, a tire repairman to an animal rendering plant. The smell is not to be forgotten ever in one's life. Good job enjoy the videos

No way? I thought you’d see them at the super market? Or walking down the street… where else would you see them mam.

I don't get why the GP doesn't clean the hoof with water when he starts the procedure.

I was just going to make a comment about you not wearing eye protection when you mentioned it. :)
You will eventually get a big piece of hoof in your eye and from then on you will wear safety glasses. I just hope it doesn't do major damage to your eye.
I've noticed that farmers in general, and Europeans in particular don't take safety very seriously. We Americans have possibly gone too far in the other direction. The last company I worked for had a policy that we always had to wear safety glasses in "the lab." I was a software engineer and the lab I worked in had nothing but computers. I asked them if they were afraid that we would get data bits in our eyes. :)
Oohh, good one!
He normally has a helmet with visor
@@the_retag
Yep.
But he would ALWAYS be wearing it if he’d ever gotten a piece of hoof in his eye.
Having had an eye injury at work I always notice when other people wear or don't wear eye protection. The flip down visor is probably the best choice for this job, but it wouldn't hurt to invest in some safety glasses that can hang out in the tool cubbies in both crushes. There are several brands out there that have a light mirror tint that are great in lower light situations and very comfortable. Buy a case, put a dozen in each crush, replace as needed. That way you have back up if something happens to the visors. Also available in sizes that would fit the kids so they could get in closer to learn the trade!
I live in a city in New Brunswick, Canada, but my parents are from Prince Edward Island where there are a lot of dairy farms. I’ve often visited there and as a result been surrounded by cattle; I had *no* idea that there are different “styles” for hoof trimming!! I am so glad to have stumbled upon this channel and very much appreciate your work and genuine kindness towards each animal.
In Building Trades, 8th grade, I learned that the very center of a tree is called the Pith. My teacher was really great and would always give you something to help you remember things. I remember this because he said that when the tree was very small coming out of the ground, a rabbit came up and pithed on it.
Ba dum bum TISH
I think your teacher was taking the pith.
@@graememckay9972 😅😅😅😅
That’s awesome. Those are the best kind of teachers. Ones that have an actual passion for what they are doing. It makes a big diff on how kids succeed in their classes. I had one. He was amazing and I never did better in a class.
@@P3rmissionD3ni3d I did too. 😌Mr. Hollack. 😌I hated math in school, but he made it easy for me and fun. 😌Algebra 1 that is.😝
He wasn't a happy chappie but he looks more comfortable after the trim. He also stopped and looked back to say "Thank you!".
No he didn't. He looked back to decide if Hoof GP was worth head butting into the next county.
That was my same thought , now he can do the happy dance😉💙🇺🇸

Knowing bulls, probably! 😂
I have 0 farming background or interests but I can't stop watching these. Awesome trimmer and so much care! Love it
I'm so grateful that you took the time to to start a channel this is so fascinating you may think it's routine cuz you did it so long but every part of this is interesting and fascinating and I am so grateful you're forever subscriber Michael
Hello from Virginia, USA! I don’t live on a farm or near a farm..and never have…but I love your videos! Love to watch the bovine pedicures! 😆 Hoof GP just randomly appeared in my recommended videos, and I subscribed almost immediately. Fabulous stuff!
Hello Hoof GP! KANSAS gal here. Im so hooked on your videos. Thank you for your love and care of cows.
I don't know if you have read any of my comments. But I can't believe it myself that most evenings I find your videos relaxing, entertaining and very informative. Anyone can see the love you have for those animals and what you do. Thank you for what you do in behalf of the cows and bulls. David from Trinidad
David, you might enjoy a couple of channels that I stumbled across. They're also the reason I found Hoof GP. Check out @Iowadairyfarmer and @TDF Honest Farming.
One of your best videos!! Everything about this video from start to finish was top notch ❤🧡💛
I've always wanted to be a veterinarian and love on a farm. Now that I've seen this, I want to be able to do these things too. I just think it's great to help out animals, its amazing to see them recover after they are in pain.
wow! I didn't know there were different styles of trimming that's so interesting!! I love how he looked back when he stepped out of the crush like he was saying thank you!! It'll take that poor guy a bit to get used to walking on good trimmed hoofs again.
Another great job from the Hoof GP. I love watching you work on these beautiful animals.
Hello Graeme. I love your videos and binge watch the older ones when I can. I never thought I would ever watch hoof trimming. Keep up the good work. Oh if you can can you put the names of the songs in the description too. Many thanks.
As always, a pleasure to see you help hoofed creatures! I look forward to your videos, thank you! Have a wonderful week! Your music is always happy. 😊
Thank you for helping these wonderful animals. ❤
I don’t know if you’ve done it already or not, Graeme, but if you haven’t, I’m sure a lot of people would like a playlist of the songs you use in all your videos someday!
Love you, love this channel and I love animals - and, I REALLY enjoy the music you share. I'm married to a Scotsman from the US so someday hope to come visit your homeland. Thank you for the wonderful content - I, like so many others, am truly addicted to the HoofGP!!
I saw him walk in on Craig's channel yesterday. I knew he wasn't a "happy chappie", but couldn't figure out which foot.
Thank you very much for showing us that he is now much better, or will be soon.
What’s Craig’s channel?😌
@@ChibiProwl Craigie Boy. If you type it into the search, it should come right up.
@@haggielady Thank you for your help 😌
@@ChibiProwl You're welcome.
Hi hoof GP this is Michelle from California love your videos and thank you for giving me the link to James and James gave me the link to Robert I think you guys are all amazing for sharing your little bit of Scotland it is so beautiful there so thanks for sharing your family and your love for your jobs
Congrats on 1.5M subs Graham. Well earned and deserved. Keep up the great work.
It's funny to imagine 1.5M people sitting back and relaxing while they watch bovine hoof trimming!
Greetings from Ohio in the States!!!
Great channel, with each trim it's a whole new video... Keep up the good work!!!
I’m 75 years old and watch every one of your videos. I live in Colorado, U.S.A.
I have fallen in love with these videos, and I'm actually seeing how I can use some of what you've shown for my own work when I manage to start some fantasy comics I hope to do!
Thanks for making my Friday!!!! 👍
I live in the US and was watching horse content when one of your videos popped up. Now I'm subscribed!! Can't stop watching!! I think you're funny, and I like your wife and kids being on here, too!! Your griend/helper is funny, too!! Very informative videos!!!
Since I found your channel I’m trying to catch up on all the past videos that you have keep up the good work
I live in Wales and surrounded by sea and farms. Like this Guy and soothing to watch the hooves knowing the animal is pain free
What a beautiful big boy. I never imagined this was ongoing treatment for cattle. I'm hooked on hoof!
I love watching this channel while I work (in email marketing, living in a city). It’s informative, entertaining, and I get to see so many kinds of cows!! A newer subscriber but I’ve probably cruised through over half of your videos 😅 thank you for what you do!!
I watch this channel cause I love Graeme's voice, his love of cows & Craigy boy is hilarious! Much ❤ from Canada!
I am addicted to this channel. I can’t allow ur contents to slide. Much love from Ghana
Bulls are so huge and beautiful animals.
Doesn't seem that long ago you done your 1 Million subscribers q and a. 1.5 now already!! Nice
1.5M of us mesmerized by trimming bovine hooves! Crazy, but here we are!
Man, I never thought this would interest me but in some strange way I love this TH-cam channel. It’s amazing what you do for them cows/bulls Awesome work Bro! Stay Blessed!
That is some hooves Hugh! We had Belgian horses that was big hooves too! I hooked on Hoof GP! I enjoy family scenes and learning about hooves!
Hello Graeme & the "Hoof GP Herd". Graeme how right you are, we do all need a bit of "squish" room. Especially on holidays & we eat too much & our clothes become a bit too tight, squish room would be great! 🤣🤣 Hope you're having a great weekend Graeme. 🖤 🐄 🤍 🐂 🤎
I love the music you use in your videos. I use the one you put together a wile back of all the music to fall asleep when your regular videos are too much to sleep to at 2am ❤
After a year of watching you you’re still my favorite! We adore you in the USA
Honesty regarding eyewear good to see no excuses well done on the videos
Hello GP I would like to wish you a happy milk day and we are also celebrating June is dairy month very much enjoyed your video as always and I enjoyed when you show a little bit about your family and it's very nice to see thank you enjoy the day
As a resident of Milwaukee, WI, USA... I'm always a little startled to see those gloves - AWESOME!🤩
Thanks for your care n witt... it is appreciated as is the tlc.
The Hoof GP has really brought something no one really thinks about when it comes to raising cattle, and I love it.
You have so many “animal rights activists” that say we need to leave these animals alone, and it just shows that they can’t be left alone. They need to be cared for or they’d die horrible, preventable deaths.
The Hoof GP shines such an important light on ignorance and I’m, honestly, so thankful for him, his work, and others who do this stuff. No fame, no commissions, no bonuses. Just pure care and love for animals
I do so enjoy watching you make those animals feel better. 😊🍀
I agree. I very much love to watch these videos. Very pleasing
Hello Graham, glad to see you could help that very handsome bull. I think he had to walk well even if his feet were hurting him, because his ladies would see.
I always LOVE watching bulls get trimmed!!!! They are massive!!! 😬😁
I ❤️ bulls!
I'm in love with this channel 😍
I really liked seeing the different angles, those perspective shots were great.
Always so very interesting..its good to see the relief of discomfort and pain in these animals hooves.
Hello, Have you ever had a rotten infected hoof that smelt bad or was bad enough to make you gag or throw up? I am very impressed with your stomach for this. I somehow can smell this environment you are in. I used to go with my dad, a tire repairman to an animal rendering plant. The smell is not to be forgotten ever in one's life. Good job enjoy the videos
