      Your statement is absolutely true, but I want to add a little bit of lesser known info. „OG“ was first used in the 90s and meant „Original Gangster“ (as you said), but the 90s HipHop scene took the acronym from the weed growing scene in California where it was used before and stood for „Ocean Grown“, meaning weed which was grown outside, near the ocean and in rich, salty air.

He'll cope better than me. That is a matter of fact, especially as we're both disabled). I do hope you're starting to mend and it's great to see that there's something which has helped.
      When you're ready, may I suggest you do something like learn something you always wanted to do? Give yourself something positive to focus on. It really doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's your choice.
      Don't let anyone tell you how to, or how long to grieve. That's a very personal thing. Other people's experiences are theirs, not yours. I hope you manage to come through this time and are able to laugh again. Much love to you and your family x

    GREAME!! OG is American slang for "Orignal Gangster". From some song. The internet just kinda took the word OG and turned in into meaning simply "original". Anyhoo hi from Washington, USA.

    Bio cleanliness is sooo important between farms. Many moons ago when I had a horse stabled, some people went "barn hopping". They went to the 3 local stables. We know they to all 3 as all 3 barns were hit with strangles at the same time. Many horses, including my own and the 3 month old foal got strangles.
    I have so appreciated seeing the lengths you go to to keep your equipment clean. I've seen other trimmers visit other dairy farms, and I just cant watch. Their equipment is just caked. I'm not a neetnik, not by any means but germs that effects others livelihood and property must not be spread. (Sorry for the book!)

You make the video/shows or whatever extremely interesting. Thank you so much. I’m a big believer in 1)it’s good to learn something new all the time. 2) your never to old to learn something new 3) there’s a statement I learnt something new today & it’s only Monday. Stay safe & continue to help those cows & bulls. What is your job title? (Hoof trimmer) or what? & do you also do other animals like horses or all animals that have hooves? Did you go to school to learn how to do this? Or was it a family business? Or was it learn on the job & build your business by word of mouth from customers. Whatever or however you started out to me your very good at your job. Again Thank You!!! ❤😂😮😂❤

      I’m so sorry your horses got the strangles…no light matter and extremely affects the horses and as you know, it is expensive and stressful to treat.
      Graeme is a very responsible , efficient and carrying professional; he’s very affectionate as well to his charges and does his work with always the comfort of the cattle..
      That horse should have been isolated if it was known but as it is nasty and can be a sneaky disease; it’s wise to at least not allow your horses direct contact with other horses from a different herd/ stable, nor allow them to share their water and feed. It can even be passed onto dogs, cattle, people .I do Hope that your horses recovered without serious complications. I have heard that infection creates some immunity, but why risk it?

    Graeme, OG means Original Gangster - it’s slang for someone who’s incredibly exceptional, authentic, or “old-school.” I’m sorry the Wopa didn’t work out - if I remember correctly, the original plan was to have two different hoof trimming capabilities. Craig and Kevin would do routine trims and you would be a stand-alone “special case” trimmer with a crush you could move about by yourself (the Wopa). I thought is sounded like a really good strategy for expanding your operation.

I know that there are different ways to do things, but leaving a crack for two weeks minimum doesn't sound good. It looked like a white line fracture. So, it's hats off to Graeme and Craig. 🥰🐃🐄🐂💖

      Its impossible to be happy and energetic when you get up alone in a cold house, drive for 1.5 hrs in a heavy traffic just to spend 9 hrs doing work you dont like just to pay for bills, knowing that another 1.5 hr drive is waiting for you.
