Would it be in appropriate to put “no wonder she’s so sore” on a shirt ??😂😂
Someone said that about my ex girlfriend after he saw me in the showers 😂😂😂, no not that, I'd slipped and fell on her.
I need one too😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂
No
Brilliant! 😂
Brother, the reason I keep watching your channel is because you don’t shy away from admitting mistakes. You turn those mistakes into teachable moments. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Graeme for helping this lovely girl, for showing her face, and for not editing out your silly vocal mistakes.
I also love that he doesn't edit out silly mistakes. It makes Graeme so much more relatable. 💜
Those mistakes makes his videos more relatable. And kind of why I like his videos over some others. Even though I'm 100% sure I'll never trim a hoof in my life
A true artist suffers in his work: translation- standing in the pouring rain getting soaking work to help a poor cow from having pain. Thank you, your work always amazes me, thought that bull connected with you, so lucky he missed. Take care, from Australia 🇦🇺 😊😊👍❤️
She’s beautiful! Nice looking lady.
Graeme you made your own Hoof Grip Pro glue. ✅️ Now you need to come out with a crush that has pop up awnings & pull down screens for that sideways rain.
💚 🐄 🧡 🐂 💚
There are awnings that attach to a car that can be unfurled 270 degrees that are used for sunshade.
Very true.😂😂😂😂
What she sai, & a much better descriptor than I was! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah and 100-200 gallons of pressurized water to clean hands and hoof😎
@@JohnDoe-fn7ml he's said multiple times why they can't have much water around because the electronics can't handle it. Even the crush powered out due to the rain in this video. They clean the hooves that have problems to get better visibility when they need it though. And no use cleaning their hands in between because they just get dirty again. At the end they do a final cleaning and rinse down of the bottom and sides of the crush and of course themselves and their arms and hands and their coveralls and boots
Thanks Graeme and Craigie Boy for battling the rain and looking after this sore lass. ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Rain in Scotland? Really? Who would have guessed!
Hello to one of most favorite (Scottish) people. Water and electrics is like taking a full bath with a hairdryer. Are you using a canopy to protect your working area? Better add a tarp on the side.
I don't get why he can't move the whole thing a couple of metres into the great big shed
Graeme:
Felt bad for you (and the cow) in the pouring rain.
Is there some way you could find a tent manufacturer that makes the small tents that are used by artists,crafts people and food vendors in town fairs and outdoor markets? They're very easy and quick to put up if you had Craigie-boy or Kevin with you.
Here in the U.S. we can get them in the big home supply stores like Home Depot or Lowes.
You'd probably want a custom made tent for it to fit over the crush.
Keep up the good work!
❤️ 🐄
It's so crazy the different perspectives with weather. I love the rain, but as I watch you struggle with the wet and the wind, it makes me think. I live in Arizona where today it's breezy, 74 degrees and sunny. My horses are in the pasture grazing and relaxing in the shade of our elm trees. But, I am Scotish at heart, my family comes from there,and Ireland, it's in my blood. I love the way you care for these sweet girls. Thank you for caring.
You love the rain because you live in Arizona……….. sending you some love from Northern Ireland 😊
@amandarobinson42 you're so right! Thanks for sending the ❤️ love we can always use it!😍😍
I'm watching from sunny Arizona also! My family also comes from Scotland, Ireland and Wales. We've been across the pond a few times and the rain is a treat for us for sure. I do have to say the rain over there doesn't seem to beat you to a pulp like the rain in Arizona tends to! When it rains here it tries to kill you!
Monsoon is just around the corner, come on July, then we’ll feel sorry for you!
I thought Arizona would be scorching already! Glad you have a bit of cool before the HEAT.
Why not use the huge empty barn 15ft behind u?
Love what you do... Surprised you don't keep a pop-up canopy handy for days like this. I work outdoors here in Washington State in the US and we have bad weather a lot of the time. The canopy comes in very handy when we need to use the table saw for bricks, as it's very important to keep it dry.
No matter how successful you become and how far ranging your business interests it's so important you maintain focus on trimming and healing because that's why we're here.
Consideration to animals’ well-being foremost: that is why he is exceptional in his work.
Этот парень много болтает, а надо лечить
@@lybovbytenko6311if it bothers you so much him talking a lot then why are you here ? Then Keep scrolling his explaining the issue with the cow or you don’t understand and your just here for the negative comment
@@LeslieAnn713tiktok gen alphas cant go 10seconds of dialogue without subway surfers in the background
@@corn307...does it feel good to dunk on literal children? I'm pretty sure the oldest gen alpha aren't even in highschool yet.
Did the farmer not want the crush in the barn?? That cow was grateful that you pwered through & fixed her foot. You all do good work. ❤ from Seattle
It's not always possible to get inside. Many farms have structures that could have been built a couple generations ago. Doors may not have the clearance, buildings/fences/gates may prevent backing, ramps may have too tight of turns, etc. It wasn't that long ago that the crush ended up on its side, and they've showed some pretty extreme backing to get to places.
@@lloydnsarahsheffer3802
All that's true but that looks like a modern metal pole barn, wide open with a concrete floor. Literally in the background you can see a huge open space where they could have parked the crush.
@BigWill63 I couldn't tell, but there might not have been any runs to guide the cows into the crush or back into the pens? I'm fairly sure they need those in order to get them from place to place. Just a guess though.
@lloydnsarahsheffer3802 Thanks! 👍🏼 There had to be a logical reason, of course, because I doubt that farmers often go out of their way to torment their cows or our favorite hoof trimmers. What was puzzling was that from the little we could see of the barn behind Graeme, it looked so spacious. And dry, And bright. And dry. And warm. And dry..... 🤗 Need I mention that I'm a CITY GIRL? 😁🙃 Thanks again for replying!
I'm wondering the same thing 🤔
Maybe it wasn't raining when they arrived and started 🤷♀️??
So glad, it was just ordinary rain ☔ and not that WET rain you get down south 😉😜😎
It would be hard to work in a south Florida summer afternoon rain (a 2-3 hour torrential downpour with lightening).
I’m a southerner. I always call it lazy rain, because it goes through you, rather than round you! 😁
I’m in Cornwall and we get sideways rain and it comes off of the Atlantic so it’s also freezing cold rain. Have wondered if Scottish rain is warmer and less angry 🤔
Why not move 20 feet to the left into shed, under cover? Lol
As an American, I find Scotland absolutely lovely. Rainy weather is right up my alley ❤
I live on the southern coast of Oregon. You'd love it here then. It's exactly like that here. Right down to the gorse.
@@gaylebynumcardosa7034if it wasnt for the ridiculous politcs, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
You are such a good guy. I love your compassion for these innocent (well, most of them), sweet beasties.
Getting to work with those sharp knives like a surgeon. I’ve been watching for a long time and can see how much you and the guys have gotten better with the knives and the grinder. I love your dedication guys.
I clicked on the video so fast! Saved me from a dull day in the office
Aww bless her coos day cos it’s Tuesday you will work your magic Graeme 😊❤
Mr. Parker, after living in Texas for most of the last 20 years, I am literally moving to the northeast so I can enjoy MORE of that weather you hate so much. I mean the rain itself isn't so great, but it does knock down the dust, the dust, the DUST that takes so many of Texas's lovely sunny days and turns them into an allergy-ridden pile of wretched sadness. Trust me, you're better off with the wet stuff.
Grass is always greener on the other side. Lol
If you keep a roll of hockey stick tape in your tool box it’ll come in handy on rainy days. Wrap your tool handles with it and you will improve grip and tool control.
That’s a brilliant idea.
That cow 🐄 was very happy you didn’t cancel 🩹
Lovely British weather. We’ve been having all four seasons in one day for the past week in Birmingham!
Birmingham had sun, rain, hail and wind today
Ditto that last week in Kentucky USA
Can confirm, Black Country weather has been Mad recently!
It's typical of Newfoundland too...no spring and yet to get to June-uary!
Why didn't you want to pull into-inside a barn where you were working at & just fix-put the healing blocks on in there?? 😖🤔 Or just come back on a dry day??
Won’t mess with water and electricity but will force Craig to make the coffee 😮
The thing I love the most about you and your crew is the way you genuinely care for these animals. It warms my heart ❤️. As a person who deals with severe pain every single day because I have lupus and RA I can tell you those beautiful babies appreciate everything you for for them. The smallest things can make a huge difference when you are in pain. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kindness in yours ❤
Thank you for sharing this with us. Always interesting to watch your vlogs.
Am I missing something? States normally they do it in a shed and not open rain. Then scene cuts to show behind him a massive long shed with an empty aisle he could have put his machinery under????
yeh, this is what I don't get!
3:06 He states that they had already trimmed 135 cows and now he’s working on the lames but that it wasn’t raining when he started.
@@GhostDrummer but being in Scotland, why not set up 5 metres behind where they did, where they are under the cover of that HUGE shed seen clearly at 2:40 ?
Hello from ur neighbour in Wales. The weather has bin awful. Rain rain and more rain. But we still smile and get on with it. ❤❤
You should get awnings made for crush to keep the cattle and ye of course dry 😊😊
You could mount one or more overlanding awnings…maybe a 270 and another 180 degree…
So... you're in the wet, having to jerry-rig a roof to keep the block and glue from getting wet, telling us that you'd rather be in a shed... while there's a shed with an empty alley in the background. ... ... Were you forbidden from moving the crush in there for some reason?
P.S. Trimming in that rain looked miserable, despite your stiff upper lip.
Memories of building the first footbridge to Hales Castle, near Haddibgton. Sappers glowing like fireflies in the rain.
Thank you for helping those cows, and that poor lady who was in obvious pain.
Yes, thank you and your team.🤗
You, Craig and Kev are a blessing to thesenpoor hurt cows. God bless the three of you. ❤❤❤
When I was in Edinburgh this past July, It was so bloody cold!! I don't think I've ever been so cold in my life LOL. Very sweet cow that. Glad you were able to sort her out.
East Scotland is dry and cold, west is warmer but wetter. Edinburgh always feels cold to me too, but it is as far north as Moscow!
Could you design a canopy over the crush, That will help protect in foul weather.
Love watching your videos. I don't have cattle but do have horses and used to work for a veterinarian. I just find this so interesting🥰
How could you not get the crush in the Barn.
Man, I would lose my mind in that soggy weather. I am from Tucson, Arizona so it is hot and dry all the time. ❤
Put a roll of tarp over with metal stand on it
When I lived in the U.K. the weather people on TV were always right. "Partly cloudy chance of rain" LOLOL
Why not trim in the shed?
I’m so enamored by your work, Graem! Craigy boy not to leave you out, Graem could not be the trimmer that he is without you backing him up! Love and blessings boys!❤
Have you considered a pop-up gazebo with enclosed sides? It could be put up over the crush with two sides closed.
Thank you from The Netherlands
We got our One Herd tshirts 🎉❤❤. So much fun to wear them!!!
85F/29.5C here today could use your rain. all the bright green spring sproutings getting thirsty 🌱
lol, it snowed last night and its still sticking to the trees and its 3pm. love rain too, last years fires were bad.
Great job, the more I see you working the more l want to see just love watching you ,thank you
I’ve had to change my gloves multiple times while caring for a patient. I had a coworker tell me that if you use alcohol hand sanitizer you can get more time out of your glove wearing time. Thought you might find it helpful. Have a great day and try to stay dry! God bless. Can’t wait until I get my t-shirt!
EXCELLENT JOB, Graeme and Craigie Boy!! 🐄♥️🐄
This might be a dumb question, but what's reason as to why you didn't just move into the barn that is next to you?
this is what I want to know
Hellooooo I am from México and I Love your videos !!! I don't have any cows or a farm or anything I live in the city BUT since I watched your videos I want to become a hoof trimmer 😂😂😂 thank you for making these videos !!!
down here in the states, along the gulf coast , we get hurricanes that often rips off the roof tiles and once the storm passes we need to put a blue tarp over the roof to keep the weather out until we can get the house repaired, you should have one of these in reserve, they come in MANY sizes, i suggest getting the biggest one you can find, it would cover the crush and the cow and your self as you work, you would need to have some poles to attach the tarp to but that shouldn't be too hard to get those, you can generally find them in home depot, you may need to special order them considering where you are.

You all live in a beautiful place but so do I Halifax Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 but I love the rain my mom told me I was born on a rainy stormy day and was the happiest baby in the nursery the only not crying my head off 😂❤
Looks like perfect, soft Scottish weather! Felt very relieved to see the cow walk away so easily. You had obviously done her proud!
Hey Graham, just wondering why you couldn’t drive your Ute and crush into the shed? Enjoy watching the videos from down under. 🇦🇺
You're at a cow farm. There has to be something you could use as a water/wind block.
Least here in NW Ohio, cow farm owners don't care what the farm looks like and it's pretty much a junk yard
So confused. You’re 5’ away from being under a roof. Cannot just move the crush few feet? I know It’s stupid question. I’m sure there’s a reason.
Not even being soggy can stop Hoof GP and Craigie Boy!
I think if Craig or Kevin had applied the block, it would have gone in the right way! 😂 😜
Well, at least you had the equivalent of a warm Scottish rain. Thanks for showing how the difficulty increases in things as wet conditions. Nice finish, walked off well.
Why didn't you pull the crush into the protected paddock/ barn area?
That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm sure there must be a reason, but no idea what. Probably would have needed extra fencing set up with the race, maybe because of how he said it was sunny earlier they didn't think it was needed & with just a few cows left felt it wasn't worth it to set that up? I dunno, but if felt insane watching the makeshift shelter while behind on screen is a huge undercover area. Even crazier though is all the comments not picking up on that but rather suggesting large umbrellas & gazebos & tarps & all sorts of stuff. Hard enough already to get cows into a crush, imagine if you start spinning huge golf umbrellas all over the place between them & the crush as you try to get them into it lol
@mehere8038 Yes! Did not see one other comment on this. Well, maybe we'll find out from the horse's mouth (as it were) Cheers!
@@geralyn-mm I hope we do! As I continued scrolling, there's actually quite a lot of comments saying the same thing, but for some weird reason they are all at the bottom, while the umbrellas, tarps, gazebos etc are all at the top. No idea how/why that's happened, I'm sure it wouldn't be anything Graham did. I hope he sees all the comments asking about it & explains
@mehere8038 absolutely! His curious public wants to know !
Seemingly, you might have to come up with a sort of tent type of roof that you can put up & take down quickly & easily in rainy conditions when working outside. Just a thought.
Is hot in Corpus Christi TEXAS ....how can you fix the hoofs of a Texas longhorn ???
I can’t thank you enough for removing that awful music ya’ll have used in the past I’d rather hear cows mooing any day.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Your and Craig's dedication to the cows you service is admirable. I know not all hoove trimmers would have finished under those conditions. 🐄❤
I hate global warming making everything cold and wet !! 🤔
I seem to remember your saying that all the rain is why Scotland is so beautiful. You're just getting some extra beauty! 😆💕🐮 Don't catch cold guys!
Are you ever worried your knife will slip out of grasp when it rains? Also, could the farmer not let you move into the barn?
2:40 what am I missing here? Why are you outside with makeshift covers a couple of metres from a great big shed?
Why didn't you just pull into the barn? The one you werw working just outside of?
You should put extendable canopy’s on the crush
You like a pop up tent
Or even just a sheet of plastic that you can’t mount onto the crush
Omg that poor creature! Would it help her to use some kind of topical anesthestic?❤🐮
couldnt you back that in the barn
The weather in Scotland this year has been the worst I’ve seen in 15 years of building rain almost every single day this year
What did you not move into the shed?
This might be a silly question but do they give the cows anaesthetics when working on them ?
What’s the reason for not backing the crush down the barn isle?
I did notice a 10000SQ M building behind you that has a roof on.. sure that would have kept you dry.. anyways good job
exactly! & while that's on the screen, apparently most viewers missed it & are in the comments talking about gazebos & camping tents & golf umbrellas & tarps. I'm reading trying to see if there's a reason for not going in that bloody big barn & just shaking my head at the comments about golf umbrellas being hooked onto the crush!
You have rain, we’re getting snow! Quite a bizarre spring. Have a safe trip. You’ve got such a strong work crew, it must feel nice to be able to get away for a few days, even if it’s to a conference. Nice job, even in the rain. ❤❤
Anyone here watches these awesome videos late at night before going bed 😅
Same weather in North-east England. Rained for days
Graem, I am wondering why are you not inside that very large barn?
There is a Big Barn behind you. Why did you not take the crush inside?
Is there any reason you couldn’t move into that whole barn?
Graeme you great. And Creig and Kevin too
Cammy's rain has finally made it to you now, Graeme. That is too bad for all of you there.
Why didn't you just back into the barn and get out of the rain?
It's Spring Graham
Graeme why couldn't you go in the nice dry barn⁉️⁉️
Stay dry and warm 👀😂🫨😳🤔😉
This is what I want to know, scrolling & scrolling trying to learn, so far yours is only the second comment about this, the rest are all nonsense about tarps & umbrellas that would freak out the cows
Why couldn't you have set up inside the barn?
Poor cow. I was afraid you'd have to take much more off the back. Happily, you're the expert. 😊😊👋👋❤❤
With that big barn behind you, why not move the crush in there?
there is a big empty shed to your left Graeme 😝😝👍👍👍
Dude for real your making me want a career in this. I'm a disabled retired veteran from the US army and I can barely bend over and you doing this job makes me want to stand up and go outside and get a grinder and some training!!!!!
The way u care for these creatures is heavenly
You need an awning or canopy just for the rainy days.
I hope this poor feels better soon. Poor girl. You and your team/family be safe out there. If I could send ya this Arizona weather I would.
There’s a huge barn behind you set up in there surly?
