Another great video. Always a bonus when you’ve posted one.
Question. What are the red bands around the cow’s tail for?
Thank you - they’re purely for identification - I think in this case the cow has stopped milking because she’s heavily pregnant and the red tapes tell the rest of the people on the farm

@@TheHoofGP Rapes?
@@TheHoofGP thank you so much for the extra help info! Made my day to get a reply !!
@@TheHoofGP to elaborate on this point its a good sign of care when they mark the pregnant and let them stay with the heard its more comforting to the cows and they can be easily sectioned off for their quick checkups before returning to the herd.
My husband laughs that I’m obsessed with cows feet, but your videos make me happy as you are helping cows feel better x
I didn't think I'd be watching hoof trimming. My sister kept saying to watch it. Finally I had a look and am now going back to watch earlier episodes from a year ago. Get your husband to watch a couple of the videos and I'm sure he'll be hooked.
Same😊
My boyfriend is the same way. Always asks what I'm watching and then laughs. But I love it!
I’m obsessed with breasts and my wife doesn’t laugh.
My husband too..he asks me every day..why you are watching this😅
Thinking back to when I first started watching this channel (nearly two years now), and I feel like I've learned so much. It's completely useless info for me professionally, but it's incredibly satisfying to know/recognise things when watching
It’s like we could be hood trimmers at this point! Hahaha
@@kacyashley3974you feel
I admire the farmers and husbandman who own the cows you work on. Their work is hard and their commitment is stellar. They aren’t flashy but I admire their tenacity.
I was excited to see another video, and especially with such a simple solution. Good thing you caught the issue before it caused more damage!
I know they don’t get shod like horses so there’s not an abundance of sharp metal bits on the ground but the fact these farms don’t have one of those long magnet poles to sweep the floor with for metal shocks me. The minute any bit of metal breaks in a horse barn and we can’t find the pieces we check for it with the magnet
I am not sure it would be practical on a dairy farm.
@@songbirds3712 if a bit if metal breaks and you can’t find it, a strong magnet on a stick vs looking for it by hand saves you time and money from having to have someone out to get it out of your cows foot.
I bet they do use metal sweeps to look for debris. It's very possible they take all normal precautions but accidents still happen
What about when they are out to pasture?
@@xxprettylittlethings have you ever worked a farm?
I can't get enough of your videos - the sound of the hoof being cut away by hand is so satisfying alone, and mixed with the happy stories of helping out these cows in pain, it's perfection!
Elle, I feel the same way about the sound😊
Greetings from MoonbeamRanch in Nevada,USA. I have a deep Scottish heritage and enjoy your channel for many reason. Your conversations remind me of talks with my Dad. He had a heavy accent and was only really understood by family, as we lived in Massachusetts. To me you sound like “ HOME “. Thanks for what you are doing.
I love it in cases like this, when the cow (or bull, of course), starts to walk away after you've treated them, and after the first few automatic limps, as it were, they realise it doesn't hurt anymore!
Graeme, forgive me if you've already done this, but when it comes the time for calves' first trim, could you do a video on it please? I've been trying to think when the best age is as a first go - whether it's more tied to teaching them about the crush or trimming the feet. Do you let very young ones run through the crush after their mother goes through first, so they get desensitized to it?
I would really love to see a video of this subject. Again, apologies if I've missed one, but I can't think of one from the list I've gone through!
It's probably after the first weaning. Cattle usually have new vaccines and update checks at weaning, which involve crushes (along with scales too). But I do agree it would be cool to see how they do it!
I know right? They start to walk away and do a double take, you almost expect a comic cloud over their head "hey great!"
I'd love to see a video about that!
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever.
I think he has an old video with a calf with a hoof problem, until a certain age/size they’re too small to safely fit in the crush (which is obviously designed for adult-size cattle). He explained that & didn’t use the crush for that one.
❤Another fabulous trim and fixed up cow as always Graeme ! You absolutely rock!!! It blows my mind that you have now pulled out two pieces of hook trimming knives out of a hoof and neither were yours 😃 . Love that you made the cow comfy with not too much trouble. Keep up the fabulous work! We all love you 🥰 and your team . Craig and Kevin and Mrs. HGP when she is on 😃. Thank you.
Thanks for your videos. Its a real eye opener to see how cows are treated while on the farm. I'm a big believer that one should understand the processes involved in growing/raising food. Knowing this makes me appreciate the farmers/ranchers even more. Thanks again.
New viewer from New York. I stumbled upon your channel last week and can not get enough. I have been waiting for the newest video since subscribing to comment and say your great! I love your enthusiasm and passion for your profession. Keep on Trucking 😊👍
Welcome to the herd that follows The Hoof GP. You can also check Graeme's assistant who started his own vlog. It's under Craigieboy.
welcome! it's definitely fascinating in the hoof-trimming world
Welcome to the herd!
I am not a trimmer nor do I plan to be. However the thought of people breaking off the hook of ya know, very sharp knives, and carelessly leaving them around the farm infuriates me. Ya know, in areas where animals walk? I imagion if the hoof gp's hook snapped by accedent he'd be searching the area and won't quit till the hook is safely secured.
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever.
^ lmfao I first this was a reference to the video game Cult of the Lamb
And I thought littering was bad in the US… Shame on the person who left that hook tip lying about.
Ya know though? Ya know? Yeahhhhh ya know.
@@lemongrab9972 Ya know? Doncha know? ya know?
The attention and care which you put into each animal's wellbeing is so special. Having something in your foot which causes you constant pain all the time is an awful problem. Thanks for ending their present suffering!!
During COVID I watch hooves being replaced or repaired every day almost became obsessed with it.Just good to the animals taken care of and issues addressed
Another great video! Can't beleive it was the blade of a hoof trimming knife that was stuck in her hoof! Really glad it did so little damage to her hoof
Me too 👍
man, the sound of you modelling out the hooves in this are especially crisp and satisfying
Thank you f for helping these beautiful creatures 💕
SHE is such a PRETTY cow!!! Hope she recovers well!
Thank you for making yet another 🐄 happy and healthy!
Yeah, guessed as soon as I saw that side view. I remember the original occurrence, and I'm really glad you found out how that hook came to be on the farm. I don't remember hearing that after the original event. A good learning point for farm workers.
That needs to be made into a necklace for the funniest conversation starter!! Great job as usual.
Your care towards animals is exceptional.
Look forward to your videos everyday! Love watching you helping the cows
A unique hobby for me to watch your videos and use them as lullaby😂
The satisfaction is priceless
Stumbled upon this video. Fascinating! Never realised cow hoofs need triming. Horses yes cows,who knew? Also like the press with the hoof lifting attachment. Every day a school day!! Ticked like and now going to subscribe as what the hell else I will learn! Thank you
Amazing, you would be in a lot of trouble, if you, dropped that knife end on our farm. My father had a large bucket , of bent nails, and yes we straightened them out, and reused them.
You would be amused to know that actual scientific research has been done that shows that bent and straightened nails, even rusty ones, have superior holding capacity to new, straight ones. Each one is different and it's unlikely that any combination of stresses could work them loose. When I lived out in the bush decades ago, we used to buy rusty sap cans full of used nails for a pittance at farm auctions and used them for our building. My partner was a mechanical engineer and found the used nail research in a paper from the National Research Council of Canada, a government body.
I suppose the straightening of the nail would be like tempering it. Just a thought. I have very little background in physics.
@@b.a.erlebacher1139perhaps the friction of an imperfectly straight nail holds them in better? I DO have physics background but no engineering background so this is still just a wild guess
@@awaredeshmukh3202 A straightened nail isn't as straight as a new nail. It's crooked in random ways. A bunch of straightened nails are all bent differently and would each need a different combination of forces to drive them back out. You can pry off a board nailed down with new nails fairly easily, because pulling them all the same way works since they are pretty much the same shape and orientation. Not so for used nails. But the rust and corroded surface help increase friction, too.
There are a lot of "mathematician, physicist and engineer" jokes out there in which each one evaluates a situation and comes up with an analysis and proposed solution. The jokes are mostly about what level of abstraction is most useful in addressing a problem. In different jokes, one comes up with the best or most amusing answer. See if you can find some of them. Most are pretty good.
Recently I watched a hoof trimming video by a hoof guy and there was such a huge difference in finesse with the knife. Graham you truly are a master of your trade.
I know it's silly, but seeing the cows face makes the hoof repair more personal. Go ahead and laugh! But it's not just a hoof but a whole cow. Ok ok I'll stop now. Thanks for taking such good care of all the girls.
Another great video I really thought the spot on white line was going to be an issue , glad the piece of blade didn’t cause more bother than but of bruising a bit of farm staff tuition is needed x
I was expecting there might have been pus. Luckily the puncture hadn't got infected.
I adore you, and I love the great educational videos you post. Thank you for your work :-)
Yay pulled the hair up!!! It’s not distracting now. Actually looks great
Well done! Glad she’s out of pain! And you caught it before it caused more problems
A few months ago RUclips started recommending me channels about fixing leather shoes, and it seems now we've arrived to the origin.
I really hope you show foreign objects to the farmer so they can investigate and try to ensure there aren't such things on the floor in the future, staff leaving sharps like that on the floor should be asked to stand on them with bare feet and see how they like it.
(Good to see Kev boy back, we were worrying where you'd hidden him)
Greatest response to animal cruelty: human abuse.
Like the other person pointed out, I'm not sure that intentionally harming an animal because it most likely accidently harmed another is stupid. Should I snatch your babies and milk you twice a day because you allow that to happen to cows?
I'm so cheerful when you post a new video. it always contains outcomes where the cow or bull wins out. You are a Hero.
That cow looked so sweet after everything was all done. Made me want to go hug her.
love your channel and videos, I can see the passion you have for doing what you do, thank you for channel and your content
Just gone done work, eating my dinner (spaghetti) and watching the Hoof GP...isn't that how everyone spends their evening??
Thank You for taking care of them...Very lucky to have someone who cares how they feel.
Less talking more trimming
I love the man bun you're sporting!!! Looks so good on you!
Wow, glad you found that knife hook end before it caused any major issues to the cows hoof. The farmers helpers should be more aware of picking up broken tips so that the cows "don't" step on them.
Loose metal anywhere on a dairy can be a serious issue.The first time I saw hardware disease was a very tough experience.Better in the hoof then the stomach. Keep up the good work
Your voice is so soothing!
No gore. I am so glad you caught it before it abscessed. Good job Craig. Bwaaaaaaa
I like how it says 8 comments but there nothing here oh and it's so satisfying to see you care for their hooves. Also this why you shouldn't leave those ends on the ground. Or at least try to check around for those if you snap an end off by accident. Like even dumping ends on ground on purpose for any farrier is just not responsible if it wasn't an accident.
Okay, the hair is growing on me. It looks good now.
No, it's growing on Graeme! Does look good though :)
(joke)
Nice to see a mystry solved and another cow happy and better off after your visit =)
So glad it was an “easy fix” and she’s good as new!
Amazing! Your knife work is absolutely immaculate! I always love seeing the videos and it makes me so happy that you're helping so many cows feel better!
People who think farms are so horrible to animals should see some of these videos. The amount of time, money, and care that goes into taking care of these cows is amazing.
Hello from California GP your team family and all of the rest of your herd always look so forward to seeing all of your videos blessings always thank you
I love all of you guys, all your videos. You all are amazing. Sending you all love from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Great video. Nice to see you and the gang. As always compassion for the animal. ❤
Excellent work! As usual, a joy to watch you make your magic.
I have no clue why I enjoy watching these kinds of videos but there is something weirdly satisfying about them
That was my first thought for what it was too! It reminded me instantly of your other video where that happened.
Good thing it didn’t do much damage to her
Quick question: is there a reason why you don’t rinse the foot before you start your work? Doesn’t the manure and grime make it more difficult to work?
Watching while visiting family in Minnesota
I had a chunk of glass the size of a small marble that was there for a decade growing up that made me HATE moving around, and if the cow feels anything like I did then that animal is gonna be walking on sunshine for the entire week.
"if I had a nickel for every time I pulled a hook of a trimming knife out of a cow's foot I would have two nickles. Which isn't very much but it's weird that it happened twice."
As always an enjoyable video that my Grandsons like to watch!
All the cows need Graeme’s magic touch
Can you review why some cows need Dew Claw trims and other don’t? Breed? TY love your channel 💛
Actually a question about your work came to mind when you damaged your blade. How many spare knives do you keep with you? Like when one gets damaged or dulled, do you have a backup on hand to swap to, in order to keep things running smoothly?
so nice to see the cow walking around perfectly again 😊
Hello brother, my names Joe and I’d just like to say you’ve been a real inspiration for me man! I love the videos and you’ve helped me figure out what I’d love to do for the rest of my life thank you for all of your kindness and positivity you spread!!
I think you should keep a collection of all of the weird things that you have removed from cows. It would be a great teaching tool!
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your service.
Amazing love for the job. But it's the love for your care of the animal comes first. You love your job. We love watching every video. To see you make sure that the care and well being of your crush guests. We watch every video here in Maine, U.S.A. Question? Do you have a jar too keep everything you pull out of the feet?
I think it just makes more sense to not use triming tools to open bags. Seems like an easily avoidable problem if that's the source. Hopefully it's not the cause this time, but I'm glad the other time had been investigated and that you got these hooves back in comfortable order.
Imagine being a cow hoof trimmer and your job is to prevent hoof problems yet you carelessly break your trimming knife and leave the broken piece on the ground to inevitably cause a hoof problem. The carelessness of some people is unbelievable. Glad this man takes his job more seriously.
Unfortunately they probably see it as job security 😢
First thought, "Holy Cow (hehe), he cut his hair". Great vid as always sir.
So many problems can be avoided by not working sloppy, i.e. snapping off knife points for your own convenience and not picking up the point afterward.
A very good Thursday evening to you all
Thank you so much for finding that metal and helping that cow!
You finally got your man bun going! Good job!
Enjoy your videos so much!!! Thank you!
Why am I addicted to this?
Well done. Good find to stop the pain. Thank you for sharing.🐄
You do a great job always keep people interested
My 4 year old's favorite animal is a cow. She will watch you trim over Netflix because you help her cows ❤️
I'm a horse person, but I really enjoy (and always learn lots) from your videos.
I hope that these cows appreciate just how thorough you are GP.
Good that piece of metal didn't really do much damage or go any deeper.
Thank you Graeme. ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Good that the crush lifts both feet. I'm impressed with that hydraulic operation
hope your having a wonderful Thursday
These videos bring me a sense of calm. My wife says my brain's turned to hoof.
Thank you. I so enjoy your content.
Nice job guys!!
I can’t stop watching these videos. It’s so satisfying lol
I love your videos!!!
Is it weird I knew what it was when you did the side view? Clearly I’ve been watching a lot… great job Graeme!!
I love your vids&when i watch other trimmings i start quoting you when they have certain issues
Love the man-bun! You've been at it for awhile, and we've been right there watching.
Good job!🐄
I really appreciate how much you enjoy your job. It’s a pleasure watching your videos keep up the great work.
I find watching this process so satisfying
I love you vids and your cheeky humour. Cheers mate. 🎉
