How many of us watching don’t own cows? Yet still enjoy this? Same.
Holy shit. What a wonderful time to be alive. I'm sitting here drunk, in the middle of the night, somewhere in Poland and honestly enjoying watching a professional taking care of a cow's hoof. Who would've thought anyone would be interested in such a topic and yet - 792k subscribers!
That's how I found him I'm. Texas but I was drunk watching this
Same (just not the drunk part, lol)
I'm still drunk from last night !
at 1m subs now!
Hi, from Germany! I’m drinking whisky & binge watching his channel!
Me watching Hoof GP for the first time: "Holy crap, this actually happens?!"
Me months later:
"Yup, definitely a hoof cavity."
Much love from Connecticut, USA. Keep making sure these lovely animals are cared for 🖤💜❤
😂😂😂😂😂. This is so me…
Me aswell. Month ago, I was thinking is this a real job, now I'm like, yeah that's gonna need a block.
Me too I’m just a chick from Brooklyn and now I’m educated on cow hoofs 😝
Lol feeling the same way
Ditto. And also from CT!
I didn't even know cows needed this. I thought it was just horses getting shoes and whatever. To see such instant results, mainly pain management...is wonderful. As Temple Grandin has written, it's our job to make sure that even farm animals are kept comfortable and healthy while under our care.
Oh Hey. A reference to Temple Grandin
When we have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in these animals there’s little reason to be concerned. Dairy cattle are some of the most pampered animals on the planet. When we milk 2,000 cows three times a day we want the best possible production we can get. Most dairy farms are family owned. There’s millions of dollars at stake and riding on these critters. We want them very happy.
Donkeys, goats all hoof animals need to have an eye kepted on them. Humans. Have a look at Toe Bro, human's rotten toes is what he manages.
@@mitchwolf5038 most dairy cows in the US are not family owned anymore and are treated like garbage, but nice try.
@@bellona6356 Well I work on one and where ever you get your info is screwed up. When a family has millions of dollars at stake they aren’t going to abusing the things that pay the families. In fact it’s quite the opposite. The cows are put in our charge. When you’re milking 1800+ a day , you would not dare to hurt them. A happy cow gives more milk. Go harass someone else. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Well this is an interesting YT recommendation. Educational never new about hoof cavities before.
Same idk why this popped up but damn it I watched the whole thing
@@tankboi8249 same here dude
Right there with you guys! Randomly got the recommendation out of nowhere and was curious
Yep very odd.
It's 1am here and it popped up in my recommendation aswell.
Didn't know why YT brought me here but that was quite educational.
Yeah, me too. And oddly satisfying watching that damaged hoof carved away
Been here for months. Stick around or binge and you won’t believe the crap he pulls out.
Same here, baby M A T.
me too xD
Lots of us here with the same story. I’m a city slicker, and even if I live to be 150, I doubt I’ll ever need to know how to properly care for a bovine’s hooves. Nevertheless, I’ve been a follower for about 3 months and I’ve watched a crap ton of his videos. To your point, showed up because of the algorithm, stayed for the education.
This guy is as good as it comes! He ALWAYS puts the cow's well being first!
What else is he gong to do?
It's nice to see the cow had gotten relief from pain and able to put the normal weight on the hoof and walk normally instead of gingerly walking on a painful hoof.
She's back in her social circles, showing off her new Scotish manicure.
@@Aironjoga-tu1oh ROFL!!!
@@Aironjoga-tu1oh Now I can't.
How cute you are!
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh God, the way that fluid popped out as you finally started opening it up. The cow probably feels so relieved when it's all over.
when i dont see it :x
@@cheerow4860 I think its the part where it looks like it starts bleeding
@@midwestnagyfaOh that's it, he said it like it was splashing everywhere xd
@@cheerow4860 I watched all the way to the end accepting somthing to expose 🤦♂️
+qq+loop ki
That was one of the most instant/dramatic improvements I've seen you achieve on here. The way that ankle wasn't bent made it glaringly obvious how much better that poor cow felt already. Well done.
Hello Kyle how’s the weather over there
I-84-year-old, live in San Diego California United States 2 miles from the Mexican border worked for 30 years in a hospital as a respiratory therapist love your show or channel
I love that she feels better immediately.
She forgot to turn around and give you a big kiss.
@@assassinlexx1993 ∟○∟
Astonishingly they really do, the trimmer on the dairy I grew up on always called the blocks crutches for cows! One shocker is just how much pain a cow can stand before it shows. I tell you they are stoic creatures and their claws can withstand tremendous punishment. You'll hear ppl say you Can overheat their claw with a grinder. Or a blowtorch I really don't think so, I've literally taken a claw from a cadaver and put a torch on it with )the claw over my fingers and no shit I didn't feel it! But all that means that you've really gotta watch the cows, their feet are EVERYTHING! So no joke the trimmer is literally one of the most important ppl on a farm
I like how her friend cows received her after the treatment xD
@@assassinlexx1993 she'll make up for that with better tasting beef
I don’t know why a old woman from the mountains of West Virginia would ever start watching Hoof GP but here I am hooked and can’t miss any post! Thank you for doing a wonderful job
How does a Grounds guy in South L.A. get hooked. We have good taste, that's how. 🤩👍
Lol. I'm thinking the same thing. Old lady in Aotearoa here, have never owned or plan to own a cow. I think it's the pleasure of seeing someone so competent doing such a good job, that makes it interesting for me.
I get it
@@georgeclifton8615 or a guy in Montebello (just east of L.A.)
It's simple. It's because you want to kill somebody.
I have learned more about cows feet in the last 5 minutes than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for these videos.
Hello Cori how’s the weather over there
About a month ago, I had no clue why YT "recommended" one of these videos. I'm now on a mission to hunt down and watch every single one of them. Since I'll never own a cow or live on a farm, this is purely "knowledge for knowledge's sake," but that's OK...it never hurts to learn about things outside your experience.
Oh, and props to your drone operator. Outstanding aerial footage.
I've been watching for a while, but this was such a great job showing side-by-side examples of before and after difference in the cow's foot placement. Thank you for the extra detail.
Yes! I didn't see the difference until he showed us the two one right after the other. Thanks GP
Yes thank you for showing the side by side it was great way to show the difference you made
it's also great if you ever wanted to know how a cow would stand while wearing high heels. Not sure why you'd need or want to but there you go.
The side by side and extra detail you gave me on this video were Terrific - and really helped me understand
Hearing someone talk passionately about something is always interesting.
That's one of the reasons why I keep watching.
I know nothing about cows really or hooves. I wanted to be a vet when I was younger though. And watching your videos helps feed that void. I also really love seeing the care that is taken with these cows to make them healthy and comfortable. Warms my heart! Thanks for your videos!
You're beautiful x
My Rottweiler actually watched this video with me. It is his first non-dog TH-cam video to watch.
The cow ran back to her friends like: "Hey guyssss, check out my new designer blue bottoms"
I told everyone in the room I was waiting for the block. They think I’m crazy. Don’t care- love your videos! Nice work! Hi!💕🐄
Went to the comments section looking for someone else as disconcerted by Graeme’s lack of facial hair and found (almost) nothing but positivity and enthusiasm for the video’s contents and for all the work Graeme and Craig do to make cows comfortable.
Am definitely as disconcerted. Graeme looks much better with a beard. I was the same with David Tennant. Without the beard, nothing With a beard, suddenly handsome. We shall appreciate Graeme and Craig for helping the cows too.
These Cows are sooooo fortunate to have you + your team. She must have been in agony + seeing her walk out of the Crush bearing her weight on that hoof was heart lifting!
I’ve no idea how I came across your channel, no matter, because now I’m hooked!😉🐂
Why have I grown to love hearing the sound of those knives cutting the horn so much? It's so satisfying.
Like whittling a stick around a campfire?
I love when the other cows are waiting for the cow in the crush to come out and make sure she’s ok ❤️❤️❤️
I noticed that, too!!
🥰💜💜
It’s adorable!!! 🥰
Cows usually have groups with in a heard who they eat with sleep with etc
"So...how is the doc? Quite scared tbh and I need a good recommendation...should I go for it?"
YT: Let me show you a cows hoof with an issue.
2,5 million people: Yeah, let's watch this
So glad you are there to help these animals!
Showing the difference in her stance before and after the trim was very informative! Thanks, GP!
I'd be fairly off-put if I took my shoes off at the podiatrist's office and he reached for the oxyacetylene torch and a 3 foot long glue gun...
and essentially an ice pick and knife
Its okay, not all cows are the same
You must have fairly long nails to that to happen I think
Yep helluva shock.
😂🤣😁
Rewatching this in 2024. It was great to watch your growth. From the early camera work, to the original intro song still warming my heart, to the loud grinder being silenced with background music. The lack of craigy boy I could do without (my name being Craig lol) living vicariously through him shout out to craigy boy
Not to mention getting your own brand of glue produced. Just got done watching it and there's craigy boy lol😂
I have so much respect for people who care for animals. They can't ask for our help, so kudos to the ranchers who take notice and get them the care they need, and to the hoof guy's who work all kinds of hours and weather to give them relief.
TH-cam: "Just recommend it to him he'll watch anything at this point!"
Me: "wtf gross omg I want to see what it is"
we could be friends, let's recommend videos each other
LMAO same XD
Fr🤣
Get out of my head!
exactly what i thought :))
The before and after in the end was so good to see. It is clear how highly skilled you are, knowing just by a few clues the exact problem. And then the fix that is just right. You can’t gain that kind of knowledge from books or a course, that takes time and experience!
Hello Lynne how’s the weather over there
Graeme,
It's such a pleasure viewing these videos; I subscribed almost a year ago, and the older videos are every bit as amazing as your recent ones.
You're a great teacher.
So glad to see you doing courses online!
I hope you can look forward to years of mentoring and workshops when you think ahead to retirement.
Your years of experience can benefit new generations of Hoof GPs and provide a comfortable income, too.
I love watching these girls walk out afterwards and realize within a few steps that it’s different and reliving
Everyone who works on/with animals MUST know what they’re doing because their “patients” cannot tell them what’s ailing them!
Any previous medical history of "moooo" in your family, miss?
@Shane Or you know... wild animals just suffer incurable injuries and just have to live with it?
Same with Pediatricians lol
@Shane yah, because it's not like there's hard surfaces on nature where a cow may slam their foot by accident.
@Shane cows were "created" by humans within agriculture history, they are more adapted to these kind of environments than wildlife, and wild animals can suffer far more gruesome and deadly injuries
I love seeing them walking off like it's no big deal, after standing there in obvious pain.
What a wonderful series of videos. Very educational and commentary is obviously based on long experience and knowledge. I love how you explained the pathophysiology of this cow’s issues. I am guessing that Knowing WHAT happened is the easy part. Knowing WHY it happens as you obviously do sets the line between amateur and professional.
California is watching 😍👍
It’d never occur to me that cow hooves are more like toenails than bone and can be so easily carved away.
Not that easy. On one of his other videos he describes cutting through keratin as similar to carving wood. Doable but requires a good amount of force.
He makes it look easy because he is so skilled.
It’s 2am and I’m sitting in a hotel in Hong Kong watching this…about to fly back to Germany. Something to do when forced to quarantine for 30 hours in HK!
Safe travels!
@@fraggle9337 many thanks. Only 11 hours today so not too bad!
Guten Flug!
@@aesteloriel danke dir
Wow. How was Hong Kong? Hi from USA Colorado
That was SO satisfying, just to know she's going to be feeling better. Poor old mama... :)
yep, a happy cow just tastes better.
@@TheManiHimself LOL...
Poor mama? You think she gets to take care of her calf? lol.
@@Tetroploid You seem to feel strongly about this. Mama is also just a nickname for a female pet, a dog, cat, COW perhaps. But I don't want to spoil your fun thinking this Cow will be separated from her calf, so please do continue. LOL....
So glad you gave her some relief.
Man!! You are awesome!! I love how intelligent you are and how much care and expertise you give to these precious animals. Keep up the amazing work!!!
They need to adapt that hydraulic leg-holding thing for parents to use when they're trying to change kids diapers. It's too late for me, but maybe for the next generation of parents.
😂
Yes for that and removing band aids, cutting nails, and many other things
I loled
I would add with some type of continuous vaccum funnel to catch the inevitable pee stream.
Craig's one liner had me in stitches
Things that I can't believe are on TH-cam.
People watching a cow get his hoof trimmed was not high on my list.
I've been watching for an hour now.
You are just the Greatest at what you do.
You are such a caring person.
I look up to you and Craigie
Oh this is the only hoof trimming channel I watch. I have learned so much about cows and bulls hooves. What gentle beasts they are. Love them. Trying to talk husband into getting a homestead to raise some beautiful dairy cows.
You remind me of Steve Irwin. You have the same contagious energy and love of animals! A joy to watch you work.
Love to see how much you care and help these cows. I know how much pain a slight ingrown toenail feels, can't imagine the pain these poor cows experience.
They are so lucky to have someone cares for them as you do. 👍
I love the way she walked out so confidently - clearly so much more comfortable. Videos like this truly make the world a better place.
Hello Yvonne how’s the weather over there
You have such a baby face under that beard! That cow was walking so much better when she left the crush. Job well done! Hello Craig!!
I thought the same exact thing. But he most definitely had a little poo smear soooo close to his eye. Ugh I just wanted it to be wiped off so bad lol... All part of a farm. So. much. pooh.
@@melissakitelinger7543 lmao so descriptive of what wanted to do lol
The work you do for these cows is priceless to see them walk on out knowing their pain is going to go away and they can just walk around eating the grass feeling pain free and healthy
My Dad would have been interested and amazed by this. He was a dairy farmer for about 25 years. Probably never saw such work.
I say this with respect, but Graham looks like a wee lad without his beard. 😂😂
I kept wondering what was wrong
I had to go back and check a previous video because I thought I'd imagined the beard.. 🤔😂
Thank god someone said it!!
@@gwenhope9931 I thought Graeme had dyed his hair darker. That would be a mistake because men look distinguished with graying hair. Graeme’s very good looking & aging naturally makes him look even better.
Like a little baby!
That comparison in the way she stands was really informative
This is without a doubt one of my top 5 favorite channels of the year.
My father was a Farrier Way back in the day for many years in AZ , so naturally i grew up learning the ins and outs of the art.
Sad to say but with growing up and my father getting other we no longer have horses. So because of that.... that whole world was put on a shelf for some time until I stubbled upon this channel. I have so much respect for the work that you all do I have binged watched this channel in the last few days. Seriously educational and you really take a watchers hand and walk them through your world showing just what can happen in different animals. Thank you for all the fantastic videos you make and all the beautiful animals you help everyday. CHEERS from AZ!
No idea why these are so riveting and, ultimately, beyond satisfying.
I have truly fallen down the TH-cam rabbit hole! I gotta say, I do enjoy watching you help them. Thank you for your work and dedication to these animals. 💜💙
Hello Heather how’s the weather over there
It’s so satisfying knowing he knows what he’s talking about. Plus them walking away so satisfying after seeing the difference.
I really enjoy the two of you together. Y'all crack me up.
Greetings from Sydney. You have our households attention; 7 adults in a shared house watching you while we have lunch... yes we are weird and we all Love your vids & your passion advocacy for Farm animals.
The group are from New Zealand, Australia,Iran,Iraq,China,Cuba,
Sweden and Tanzania. Adult professionals without "Family" in Sydney Australia so we created our own one. 🥰
I remember my father doing this only with hand tools (and of course the help of his two elder sons xD ). Only those who've experienced this first hand, know the SMELL that comes from these injures :s !!! It is really disgusting and makes the feeling of helping the cows even more satisfactory :D
Very good job by the way!
not sure if it's the injuries though, think all hooves smell terrible. whenever we get our horses hooves taken care of my dog likes to eat the clippings. like I noticed her chewing on something hard so I took it of her and was like wtf is this? so I smelled it. big mistake literally one of the worst things i ever smelled, nearly threw up XD
@@zwenkwiel816 yes, I know!
hahaha 😂
omg thank you for specifying about the smell i was curious and didn’t know if it was a weird thing to ask 😂😂
youtube recommended this to me and somehow it never occurred to me cows can get cavities in their hoofs or what you would do when it happens... very interesting, and I'm happy she was so much more comfortable immediately! I just don't know enough yet to know if the brown sludge coming out was from the abscess, or manure that got in there, or what - but it made me cringe when I first saw it, thinking it was some sort of blood at first.
It was an abscess
@@kieraleinen6222 pus 🤮
I don't even do any type of work with animals just love seeing what you do.
Have now watched US hoof dr, Irish hoof dr AND MY FAVORITE Scottish dr You!!! You are very personable and
Your show is the best because you explained
Everything you do! Thank you for your great working the animals! 😀😀
My father was a vet…he is no more….I can see how u people are passionate about ur work…god bless u doctor…love from India…🙏🙏
She was quite happy when she walked out. Great job.
I love to see how you take care of these cows ❣️ sometimes I feel like the farm animals or cattle get over looked when it comes to their feelings. I think it’s wonderful when people step up and watch out for them. You’re amazing. Ty👍
Hello Stephanie how’s the weather over there
I never knew that cows could have such problems with their feet. Thank you for all you do for these cows
This is one of your videos where, as a city person, I can really understand the value of what you do and how much you helped this cow. Hello from Texas!
What a wonderful thing to see such an immediate change in her comfort, as reflected by her stance! Great work!
Hello Donna how’s the weather over there
Let me just tell you how much I love every time you say ‘overburdening’. One of my favorite things about your videos (other than you helping poor bovine feet, of course!)!
Happiness...you're such a great guy helping these poor souls ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this is like peeling potatoes and getting the rotten bits out
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew
even if you "cut off the rotten bits" the mould and rot would be all over the potato, so if the potato has mould on it dont just cut it off, get rid of it!
Ur so right
That's exactly what I was thinking!
@@fecesgenerator You should probably just go ahead and throw out any moldy food. Just saying.
I really appreciated the "Before and After" photos shown side-by-side at the end.
The difference between the two was astounding! Bless you for taking such good care of her!
Hello Glass how’s the weather over there
I just love how you help these cows. It is so good to see.
I love watching you work on those cows. I've turned into a real fan. I'm from Tucson, Arizona, USA
Love the videos sir. Wife and I can't get enough of them. We may cry or tear up when we see a cow in pain and know you and Craig will take care of them so it eases the pain lol. We get so invested in the animals. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
This guy totally reminds me of Edd China, from the 'let's have a root-around' to the ' that makes this a job well done' and everything in-between.
That dude is such a legend.
To those here by a random TH-cam recommendation welcome! I hope you enjoy your time with the hoof gp as much as I have!
Just woke up, ate a poptart, now time for some hoof-care videos 🤠
In the short time I’ve been watching your videos, I’ve come to appreciate what people like you do for a living. You guys are truly hero’s for cows. Keep up all the amazing work you do for a living. You are a true hero
The cow was saying "girlfriends he's just such a great pedicures!!!" as she left the crush to join the others. Cows are such gorgeous creatures...........
@Jak Fitz, 😂😂bruh that’s too funny
Lots of skilled trimmers on TH-cam, but they don't have your connection, your smooth approach or the same fast method in which you work....you love these cows
man...videos like yours make surfing worth while.
I never thought learning about cows would be so interesting until I found this channel.
Thank you Hoof GP for making this video. It's amazing to learn that there's a profession out there that does this work 👍.
Your passion for your work shines thru. I've been watching your videos quite awhile. I enjoy your energy and your positive attitude each day. It truly is your goal each day to relieve any painful foot problems in client's bovine. Thanks for being you.
Hello Lori how’s the weather over there
....thank YOU sooo much for You work and interessting videos !!! sometime it is almost ,,difficult,, to look ... because of the cutting !!! I'm sooo happy !!! to see how the cows are able to walk againe !!! Kinde regards from Switzerland !! God bless You and Your work!!
"He moans if you don't" fucking epic response!
I wonder.......does the mrs know?.....
That line cracked me up 😂
If he keeps it up, just make him ride in the back.
Should say "he moans if you do".
What a satisfying job, To bring such relief and end the cows suffering.
Awe poor cow 🐄 😢 heartbreaking 💔 looks so painful 😢 💔 😭, bless thanks to you
" The hoof GP " for helping this poor cow 🐄 & all the other animals you help 💙.
i have found myself addicted to your videos. i love how you are helping these poor animals....great job
I absolutely love your work and what you do for these cows. I hope you have a blessed day!
That's so neat! It makes me thing of how wonderful I feel after going to the prosthetist and getting new shoes and inserts. Or even just a good soak. I imagine from the moment you get them in the crush and take the weight off a sore foot, they feel worlds better.
My man just wantto let you know you're a good person and love your videos much love from us california
I'm sure that I will never do this but I can't stop watching these videos it's so interesting I hope you make the big bucks. Love it
Cow hooves and The Silencers I can feel it playing in the background, pure dead brilliant!!
