Never would've thought one of my ultimate chill outs would be watching Cows hooves being trimmed. Fascinating and learning loads. Thank you 👍🏻😊
Right??
Between this, paintings being cleaned and restored, and storm drains being cleared during a rain storm I have found a great chill out list of things I’d never thought I’d see/care about lol
You and me both, I myself have learned a lot by watching these videos for sure, trimming my Goat's feet doesn't seem so hard now (:
I agree, same here.
frrr
Anyone who’s had ingrown toenails is rooting for him to get after it. Can imagine the afflicted “nail” supporting 1500-2k lbs
i had one that led to amputation lol
I've had surgery on both feet to permanently fix problems with ingrown nails. The relief you feel when that shard is no longer poking into the skin is amazing.
Yeah sometimes you gotta just start slicing and dicing.
Absolutely
Woah..
I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds these videos satisfying
So crazy to think I actually watch the Hoof GP to unwind before bed. You are so informative and the relief you bring these cows is so amazing.
I do the exact same, you’d think bloody cow hooves wouldn’t be the best thing to fall asleep to but my god does it work
Everyone's focusing on the hoofs, but I can't help but notice how much better this guy got at video editing over the years.
My thoughts exactly! His progress makes me so happy.
He probably has an editor now
I noticed. I hadn't seen him in like six months. I love this guy. I won't be away that long again. 😊
That and the spot of mud between the eyes 😂
@@MrXannaX
In the Grassman video, he said he spends about 50 (or was it 15) hours a week editing
It was suggested, in comments, there, that he get a graphic arts Uni student to do it for him as an internship
I have been learning.
I saw the reddish areas and thought, oh I can see an issue, bruising. Ta Da, passed today’s test.
I didn't realize that hoofs could have so many problems. Also didn't know there was such a science behind fixing them
me on the first video:
“what.. the hell am i doing here 🤧 this is odd and gross yet i’m watching it, but surely there’s not like a whole community based around hooves right?”
me after the 10th video:
“ah yes, i immediately see bruising and a large hoof imbalance for starters. i wonder if he’ll block and wrap or tunnel it out after seeing the main culprit of the discomfort 🤔”
😂😂😂 THIS! I absolutely feel this lol
😂 so true.
same here, but it was the pooping, peeing and the foul odors for me, then I remembered working in a nursery in my youth and diaper, potty and diarrhea etc times with my own babies.
you get over it and get on with it for the good of those you are carrying for
"contains graphic images" Isn't that what we're here for?
It was a promise of goodies soon to be delivered.
I thought the same thing till we got to it.
RIGHT!!!
It means TH-cam has Demonized his video.
Wish I could love a million times
I love how this channel provides me with nothing I can use in my daily life, yet it's such a fascinating thing to watch and learn about.
Ok, I'm not a farmer, or cowboy, or anyone that deals with livestock, I don't even own a pet! But your videos are very interesting and you seem to genuinely care about the animals you deal with. Thanks for taking us along with you!
I have no idea why this channel poped into my recomened, but I am so glad. I never knew my 3 am chillout videos were gonna be cow hoof triming but here I am.
You need to come to World Dairy Expo this fall and bring some Merch! As an longtime cattle exhibitor, we would love to see you in the barns and visit about cows and your video channel!
Heck I would love to go to the world dairy expo just to learn.
What an amazing thing that would be!
Every time it looks like she’s flinching, I’m all “He’s helping sweetheart, I promise”.
Yea, like don't cut too deep into my steak, please.
@@Medhusalem lol
That's so funny cuz that's what I'm saying also!!!♡
@@Medhusalem I don’t think you want those steaks. I guess they would be on the sale rack.
💯
I really like that he explains that the bleeding really isn’t too bad it just looks like a lot.
You treat other people's cows like you would your own family dog...great care and respect. Well done!
When are we going to see THE CRAIG tackle a gnarly hoof like this one using his hoof trimming ninja skills 🥷🏻
Jerseys are such pretty cows. They have such nice shading on their faces.
Dave Brittain
Yes, they do!
@@Stokedhavok I had one when I was a kid and between her nice personality and nice looks she became quite a family pet.
Just commented that she was such a pretty cow; had no idea she was a Jersey, so thanks!
milk tasted better too.
Their eyes are so pretty, too 💗
I realize this is 2 years ago so this comment is just going to the cloud- but this cow has the cutest face! Love her! ❤
Your empathy for your patients is astounding! Thank you!
I’m so glad you were in my feed, I’ve gone back and binged watched all of your videos. I like to say, I think your truly a fantastic person. The way you care for the cows that are in your care is so heartwarming. The way you are with your family and friends is commendable. I wish we had more people like you in the world. Thank you for making the channel about education of cows, as much as just trimming. Thanks again so much for all the hard work to make these videos(and thanks to Craig and your wife:) for their hard work too) I enjoy them more than you know.
"I wish we had more people like you in the world."
D'ya see, buck? I dinna lie ta yew. 😃
He is fascinating. I am not a dairy farmer but I've learned so much watching his videos. His drone shots.of the Scottish landscape and the music is lovely. He has a brother who's a stone artist. Check him out.
And I wish he would come over and trim my cat's nails. He was born in the woods, wild until I got him at 3 months old. He never quite trusts people, although he loves his Mama (Me).
Well said!!!
Nothing better then to spend my birthday doing the things I enjoy! And I enjoy watching Graeme making cows feel better one hoof at a time. Thank you for your exceptional care for these lovely animals.
I have genuine respect for this man. I can tell he loves being able to help these animals, and he seems to do that very well. 😊
It is amazing that watching cows hoofs being trimmed and doctored can be so mesmerizing. I watched my first The Hoof GP recently, and now I have watch at least 25 episodes and counting.
Lying in bed, feeling cosy and a new hoof gp video..life is great
you remind me of modern day James Harriot. Also, my son said, "That cow will need a block," then you said you were going to put one on! lol We love watching you, from SLC, Utah!
You are right! James Harriott was an amazing soul. Maybe he's also the Steve Irwin of cattle? Lol! Good for your son on knowing what would help this poor cow, smart boy!
I thought the same thing. Loved those books!
nice to hear that you and your son are sharing this together.
I love watching "All Creatures Great and Small" on PBS.
You are such an inspiration. The work you do is so wholesome. It’s great that these cows have people like you to care for them. No animal should suffer!
Bless you guys for keeping these cows hoofs healthy. Never thought I'd find something like this so fascinating, but I do.
Thank you for helping her. This one made me cringe, particularly every time she flinched. Poor sweet girl.
I love meat, I love dairy and I’m not going to stop eating it. That being said, I love what’s going on here, just because they are our food doesn’t mean we aren’t the stewards of their overall health, we are. And I see no reason they should suffer needlessly. Great work.
haggard184
Great comment!
Same and I agree
The problem is people in the US (I know that’s not where he operates but it’s what I know) demand cheap meat, dairy, and eggs and don’t care about the suffering that such demands create. Factory farming causes immense and unnecessary suffering and pollutes the earth. There are much more ethical and environmentally sound ways to farm, but it costs more and the higher cost gets passed on to the consumer. Rather than simply eat less animal protein and more cheap plant based foods, people continue to eat the typical American diet that’s both unhealthy and inhumane.
I do not eat meat often, but when I do, I source it carefully. I belong to a CSA, and I get meat, eggs, and dairy with my vegetables from local organic farms that are also certified humane. I think the cost can be as much as 3-4 times what I’d pay if I shopped at a discount megastore. Not always; sometimes the cost isn’t much higher at all. The chickens and ducks roam and forage freely during the day and as a result, there’s a lot of variation in egg size, shell and yolk color, and the meat is less tender because the birds are allowed to walk and swim at will. Some people complain about that for some reason, as if every chicken breast must be identical to the next. We need to change our diets and our expectations if we care about the lives of our food animals and want to be better stewards of the earth.
We do not want to gain their ailments.
If animals are competition for food they tend to be treated poor if they are a source of food (spies to most animals killed for their fur as well)they have to be treated well or the stress hormones damage their meat (as well as other things). One of the cruelest things you can do to a guernsey is to not milk them, they produce enough milk to feed 4or 5 calves and only have one. They do not reabsorb the milk instead it rots inside of them.
my grandpa worked on a dairy farm most of his life, and while I didn't get to grow up with cows, I loved getting to visit them while he worked there. He passed away recently, very peacefully, and seeing these videos of you taking care of these cows and making them more comfortable just reminds me a lot of me :)
I love your voice overs, when you are showing your work. You speak in such a friendly, and sing-songy way, it's lovely. I love relaxing to your channel, and watching you guys work, and seeing the beauty everywhere. Such good video, and music too. It's obvious you put everything you have into your work, and this channel. Sending you and Craigy Boy love from Canada!
I'm a chef so I appreciate good knife skills which you definitely have
nice piece of meat ther XD
I can’t even cut an onion into squares :( please teach me 😭
I'm a vegetarian, and I appreciate that someone is helping innocent animals.
She's gorgeous! I love hearing about good farms taking care of their livestock.
They kill them for food anyways whats the use?
@@manwhotookatit5666 well, from a purely pragmatic standpoint stress, sickness, and infection make food animals less nutritious to eat. On top of that, not all cows are slaughtered, as stated in the video these are milk cows, and sick cows won’t produce as much good milk, and if they die they produce none.
From the ethics side of things, taking the power of life and death over a creature makes one responsible for it, and while many cows are eventually killed, allowing them to wallow in filth and disease beforehand would be irresponsible sadism.
@@youtubeisapublisher6407 that was supposed to be a sarcastic comment
I've been stuck watching these videos for hours now and I can't seem to stop.
I’m totally obsessed with these videos 🥰 lol I will watch them all day
Always makes me happy when I see the notification that you have uploaded a new video
I genuinely wish this had been something I was exposed to growing up. It seems so satisfying and rewarding to be able to so tangibly help these poor animals!
This is now my new favorite binge...and I don't know why since I'm not a large animal farm girl. But I can definitely say it's so satisfying to watch you work! Hello from a new fan in Alaska!
Wow was that blast of water satisfying. I think I got as much relief from it as the cow did. I'm surprised it isn't standard procedure to start every hoof job.
He's working with an ELECTRIC grinder, plus he trims MANY cows in a day and they can't all be washed off. Also, sometimes water is simply not available where he is set up.
Human hands, feet and head bleed a ton when there is a tiny cut so it’s not that surprising that they would bleed more in her feet too.
Especially considering she was being cut into by her own hoof horn. Its like a super extreme ingrown toenail for us. If you get it pulled out of your skin its going to bleed, but its what needs to happen.
I wonder if professional hook trimmers have problems in their hands, wrists and forearms from the repeated movements with the knife.
I have asked the same question!!!
I would say so. Any repetitious work will cause damage sooner or later.
Most likely
I could see carpal tunnel syndrome causing some issues for sure.
My daughter and I have been watching you for a while now and she wants to grow up to be just like you. We watch you everyday and love every video you do. Her name is Tyler at the age of 7 and would love for you to say hello to her. Thank you for making your videos and giving us a great bonding time. She is your biggest fan.
How do you know when you are hitting their nerves, I can't even trim my dogs toe nails. So fascinating to watch, thank you for what you do.
When thing I love about this channel is he is so caring in his life and his job. A person who actually appreciate what they are doing and how they are doing it and always wanting to do better.I love coming here to read comments because one of the few channels that has almost 0 negative comments. Everyone is usually very respectful. Keep up the good work.
I luv the genuine empathy, concern and care you give these animals. You can tell you found your calling
Very interesting to watch and to see how much knowledge is required to make life comfortable for our cattle.
I am a retired Registered Nurse. Love all things medical. No wonder I look forward to notifications from Hoof GP. So fascinating how you treat the hoofs of the cow and bulls. I laugh at myself when thinking, I've gone from humans to cattle!! At any rate, love the show. Keep up the great work!!!🐄🐃🐂🦬❤❤
I love Jerseys, they're such pretty little cows.
the intro always so calming
Yeah it is. Its quite nice
To see any animal in pain is truly heartbreaking! 🥺
I just realized you posted this on my birthday! What a beautiful, little Jersey she is. Thank you for helping her become more comfortable.
That poor girl. Looks like it is so painful! Im glad they have you to help them! Great job
The time you take to explain every little detail in every video makes the video that much better thank you for everything you do brother!!
It blows my mind at how well you understand & know what's going on underneath the hoof. You are a true professional. I can't stop watching. The area where you work & live is beautiful. I love it
I can't believe how much of these videos I have watched the past days. My heart breaks for some of these cows. Thank God Hoof GP is there to make things better..🙏🥳
Her hoof looks like a bovine high 'chunky block' heel. Who would have ever thought the #1 hoof trimmer extraordinair & a high fashion bovine heel designer!
Wife: 😏“what are you watching?”
Me: “Um...🙄...a guy who trims cow hooves”
Her: 😆
Same here but it's the wife watching and hubs is like 😶
My hubby comes up to the living room and looks at the TV and proceeded to say "youre confusing the recommended algorithm again"
As someone who worked on a cattle farm as a student many moons ago, I adore cows and the work you do is something I had never come across before - what a fabulous job you do! I will never feel as bad again about going to the dentist - or when I have my ageing toenails cut! Keep up the vital work - so good to watch you helping such fine animals!
I'm afraid whenever they work on a bull. I would be terrified of a large bull.
I just love how you care so much for them and do the best you can to make them feel better.
Mad respect for you sir. I worked with beef and dairy cattle for a couple of years in my late teens. What started out as helping my friends finsh their chores one day turned into a couple of my most memorable jobs because of the animals. I fully understand your compassion for why you do what you do.
She is such a beautiful cow! You're an angel!
Thank you guys for taking so good care of her. Lots of love from me and my family.
Thank you for making the cows feel bettier and thank you for spraying away the mud with water. It is so satisfying watching the dirt cleaned away from the lesions.
Such a beautiful cow! She looked more comfortable after she got the feel of the blocks on her foot.
That poor sweet baby.
So happy you are there to are for her. I know you'll always get the girls feet all fixed up and feeling better.
I would love to see a follow up video of her to see how the recovery process is. Great content btw, I found you channel a couple of days ago and I'm loving it 😀, much love from Argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷
Never thought I would enjoy watching this stuff, yet here I am almost 67 and loving the hell out of these videos. Hug's 🤣😂💛💙💜 Lynn Weasenforth
Would like to see a follow up on how she is doing, that has been shown in the others how much they can heal.
He very often does! Usually posts the link to the follow up in the description of the original video once it has been done.
Dude he said a few weeks and this was posted a week ago..
ouch nothing slow on my part. thanks. did watch it again, liked how he showed many before and current clips in the video.
I never would have thought I would be leaning in towards the viewer to get a closer look at a cow’s hoof.
Think this Jersey is cute. Thank you Mr
Parker for being so passionate and caring so much for these cows
I am obsessed with your channel!! I love how you help the cows out of pain! Great job!
DEAR LORD!! that poor girl! how was she even walking on that? it gave me chills to see it.
"So we're going to carefully put a knife in there"
"Things are about to get bloody, folks"
*Things that both Hoof GP's and serials killers say
🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂 🥂
I never considered this... now that’s going to be what goes through my brain on these videos...
Nice. Very nice.
Ahahahahahahaaaaa
How do you know what serial killers say 😏🥸
I once had a professor who called Jersey cows "the epitome of femine beauty" ... I can't say that he is wrong but I always felt a little sorry for his wife 🤣🤣
I am Rita and am 70 yrs old .You are my company and I love your abilities to keep the animals in shape and out of pain.I 'm from florida. Always dreamed to visit Scotland.
How often do you go through a knife? I’d imagine with always sharpening them you would use a lot
Love the color of the hoofs! Very pretty and relaxing to look at. 😁
I am a far girl and I love watching your videos and learning from them. Thank you!
I was a paramedic in Idaho where we have a lot of "farm accidents". Now that's graphic! 🤢 It makes me so very sorry for the cows and even more in awe of you and Craig for improving their lives. 💜
Does anyone else ever think when the camera zooms in a massive piece will come away and show a mess underneath
Sad to say, that's what I'm here for.
Every time bud, every time. Like I start cringing before the cringe part gets there. Lol
I'm always tense about this. I'm always worried that he will say that nothing can help this animal, and that they will have to do away with it. So worrisome.
I love what you do for those cows. Hurts my heart to see them in pain.
It is wonderful to watch these animals gaining such relief and care. I have chronic tendonitis in my arms and I am awed by the physical demand from chipping away at hooves!
I only recently discovered these vids and haven't seen anything to show exactly how that crush machine works - it looks fascinating. I never even knew cows required foot care like this so you have expanded my knowledge - thanks and best wishes from Canada.
I don’t know much about what you do but I enjoy watching you bring relief to cows
Am I the only one who imagines the smell of the manure? I can’t be. 👍🐮🏴
Idk if they’re on silage, but it gives manure and tangy smell
No girl I catch myself pinching my nose when there’s a lot of shit!!!!!
@@donnaryland9976 the only time its an issue is if theres alot of ammonia mixed in, thats what gives it the pong
These videos help me get so relaxed.
You are such a good man looking after these poor animals 😊
My favorite breed... I have had 3. Thank you for taking care of these souls. 💕
Aww poor baby. I don’t understand how she can walk at all.
Would love to see a follow-up videos of this. Hope she's well soon
I caught myself singing the intro in the bathroom this morning. 🤣
Next, I’ll be hoof trimming in my dreams.
I like you videos, the way you take care of cows, they must appreciate you as you relieve them.
Im not an english speaker, but I had to translate to let you know that you're doing a wonderful job. May God bless you
Love these, make my day soooooo much better
I can feel this cow's pain. I had a diabetic ulcer on my left heel that took two years to heal. The last six weeks were spent wearing a 7 pound walking boot 24 hours a day for 6 weeks. Same idea as with the cow, to take pressure off the heel.
So sorry for your ordeal, but hope you're fit as a fiddle now! :)
You had to sleep in a special boot? 🥵 I’m diabetic and this scares me!
@@JulieWallis1963 This is a special reply to this viewer, and others with similar concerns. I've been diabetic for 40 years and I usually have very good control of the disease. In May, 2019 I woke up and saw raw skin on my heel. It was about 1/2" X 3/4" in size. I tried to treat it myself but it kept getting bigger to about 1" to 2". In August 2019 I saw three G.P.'s and they said it looked untreatable and I would probably need a below the knee amputation as gangrene had started. In November 2019 I went to an infectious disease clinic. At that time I was put on strong antibiotics for several months administered through a PICC line. I also had 62, two hour treatments in an oxygen hyperbaric chamber. In late 2020 I had a skin graft added on the wound. Since no pressure could be applied to the area I had a plaster cast applied from my knee all the way down my leg. A fiberglass "walking boot" protected the cast and took pressure off my foot. In the spring of this year the wound had healed enough so that regular bandaging could be used. In April of this year the wound was successfully healed. I'd like to thank this channel for allowing me to pass on important health information since I have no other way of contacting the requester.
I love the way you teach while you're trimming! Wonderful!
Amazing work, and I am sure she is much relieved, she was blessed to have you help her.
Well, we were having a discussion here, based on the second hoof, the right claw was enlarged, which indicated a more long-standing problem. Then you start showing an ulcer site, a blowout at the top, a crack and major separation.....
What would you do if a cows foot had serious problems on both toes and you cant put a block on either toe?
Good question! I hope the Hoof GP will tell us! :)
Exactly, I was confused he put a block on the right claw of her left foot. You can see a big crack running across the toe. 🤔
My cat comes over and sits with me when I watch your videos on my laptop. I think he's happy that you are helping animals.
Graphic images are what we are here for...and the healing of the cow for her healing from this good man.
