The owner has really struggled to get someone to care for her needs. You say you're booked for the next four or five years. And yet you took the time out of your busy life to help this owner and her beloved pet cow. You made a friend for life and beyond. You are a treasure.
Yeah. Imagine that. You are at least never going to have to worry about where you next meal is going to come from. I best he will also remain fully booked for the 5 years even if 2 years has passed.
@@OliverKrystal He said "customer" so she paid him for the trimming. No idea what it costed. But it's nice that Hoof GP would see her when he's got such a full schedule. Because the farmer couldn't get another trimmer to help, so I'm really glad he helped. Edit: you don't know how much she paid him. You may think everything is heaven and roses, but I don't think he drove all the way over there for $10. In fact, if it was only $10, he would have just done it for free.
@@albedo5606 It's a sunk cost because even though she may have paid him to do the one cow; it probably cost him more in gas/time and maintenance. A lot of RUclipsrs get a good chance to do these kinds of helpful jobs and still make an earning though, which is a wonderful thing.
Yeah, and the fact that he can make a few extra bucks from RUclips for that one cow should more than pay his visit to small farms. Hope he visits more. 200,000 views should equal about 300 dollars so good deal.
Whether it’s one special cow or a barnful, your care and concern for your “patients” is so evident. No wonder you now have more than a million more subscribers then when I subscribed last year. Congratulations! Thanks again for the gorgeous scenery that I could only imagine reading the James Herriot books.
I've nvr knew this was a thing ,I'm a city boy who's heart has always in in the country I want to learn this so bad , but I don't have a clue how to learn this trade
How funny that you'd mention James Herriot because I just watched the entire season of that show with my daughter. I read all of the books and absolutely loved them!!! I wanted to show my daughter because I knew she'd love it. Hopefully there's a new season coming out. The books are great!!!
I love how 50 miles is “way out there” in the UK. That is a quick shopping trip in most of the US for farmers. Work trucks with 300k miles are not uncommon.
I have to drive 20 before I have even a decent sized grocery store. Yeah America's size is probably not appreciated by people who've never been here I suspect. But thier roads are much more tight and constricted so they probably can't go nearly as fast.
My dad has been a farmer my entire life...ppl who take care of animals for a living have a special place in heaven. You sir, definitely do. Ty for making your videos. Never knew how soothing watching your videos would be, but they remind me of home.
Yeah people who take of animals may do, but what about people who needlessly bring animals into this world at the least to exploit them, and at the worst to bring them into a life of cruelty and torture just so humans can get fat and unhealthy from eating them
Found these videos randomly a while back. Still some of my favorite content on RUclips. Just relaxing and satisfying and informative. And lots of lovely Scottish accents to listen to.
I found your channel over a year ago. I was looking for Graham Parker the singer and you popped up. I have enjoyed watching your videos ever since. Thank you for being my entertainment throughout the covid pandemic. I will continue to keep watching you going forward. Love the job you do and your interactions.
Thanks for making time for Katie. She’s a beautiful Charolais cow. We used to raise that breed on our farm in the US and they can have such a wonderful disposition. The bulls on the other hand… 😂
What a sweet cow! You can tell how much her family loves her. Hopefully you can work her on to your busy schedule again! To be booked that far out is amazing! The hoof trimming business is good! 🐄🐂👍🏻 The views from their property is stunning!
She was a real beauty for sure. Just goes to show what the fresh air up there and the love and care from her owners can really do. This was really a great video !
Scotland is beautiful but the weather can be a pain. In the 1800s Scots used to joke that they moved to northern Canada for the warmer more comfortable weather. Except it's not completely a joke. 😳
Is it just me, or are the camera shots of him evening up the toes always SOOOO satisfying. Especially when they’re long and overgrown. That moment when he trims off the end and makes them rounded, muah!! Chefs kiss. Excellent content.
A beautiful cow and she lives at a gorgeous home. I've only dreamed of seeing (in person) scenery such as that. I think its fantastic that you took time from a busy schedule to show us how every animal deserves the best care. They all walk away from The Hoof GP crush saying, "ahhh a nice day at the metal spa and my hoofs feel great!" Love the humor, the trimming skill, the knowledge and content, the music, the cows/bulls and farms, and you make each video unique and you leave us wanting more. Thanks for what you do!
Yes, it's their spa lol. Yknow how the crush sorta lifts them so theyre supported by the sling belts, it must feel so great to get all that weight off. Though I recognize it's natural for hoofs to support a large animal, I wonder if it's like how humans are generally prone to back problems (due to spine curves for upright bipedalism) and high rate of knee injury in female athletes (due to Q angle, ie pelvises wide enough to accommodate the neonatal head in vag birth push the limits of how far a knee-to-pelvis angle can be while retaining bipedalism...) anyway, I wonder in cow anatomy what the evolutionary trade offs are regarding such relatively small hooves on such a large animal, or if it was the same pre-domestication etc.
The fact that you’re willing to go out of your way for a single cow is why we’re all here. You actually CARE about these animals and it’s great to see. Every single one deserves it and is worth it.
I joined your "Moo Crew" several months ago. I have greatly appreciated your love of you job. And now, you took maybe 2 hours of your very busy life to help one cow. WOW!!! How generous!! Like the post below (Mary Ann Lee), you lost earth money to gain Karma points. Now I"m sold on you as a person, trimmer and animal caregiver.
Great of you to help out the solo cow! It’s very hard for non commercial farmers to get access to wonderful care like you because of set up and take down time with cleaning. Really great of you

@Charlie Wayne Schneider I’ve never seen a more beautiful place. Western Montana is the best! People watch out for one another and are there to help one another. They do let kids be kids. However, it’s changing fast. The last five years, there were so many out of staters coming in, it really was changing the makeup of it. But eastern Montana is still pretty “new”.
Wow! I'm sitting here, sick on my day off, feeling awful. Now, I'm going on a drive through a beautiful Scottish wilderness on a sunny day with an infectiously positive dude. Pun intended. I feel awesome. Thanks for your sharing your passion with us!
Loved travelling that road. My dad used to travel the main road through Girvin, Maybloe, pinmore etc when travelling between Glasgow and Wigtown but every now and then he’d go through the Forrest and I remember the twisty twingy roads with the sharp drops. Loved it
@@flowersforthedead5182 my Granny would be turning in her grave at my spelling of them though 🤣 she used to have us recite the names of all the little villages that we passed through every time we made the journey to my aunts. She lived in the same villiage as Graeme. They did have a dairy farm but sold it when I was young so can’t remember the name of it. I keep watching the videos intently hope I g I recognise something.
It’s nice to see a farmer take care and keep a cow as she ages. Where I live in the US, cows are either sold to lesser milk producing farmers or go to slaughter by the age of 6. It’s a damn shame a beautiful sentient being is treated as a dollar sign. Yay for Scotland!! (And you, Graeme!) ☺️👍🏻👍🏻♥️🐄♥️
I’ve been watching the Hoof GP for a while and I think I understand. In North America and other places, we drive on the right side of the road. In England, Australia and a number of other countries, people drive on the left side. In Scotland, you drive in the middle.
I’ve fantasized about bicycling in this forest. Likely your videos are the closest I’ll manage for this dream, but I really appreciate everything you do.
Graham, primarily thanks for you to be open to traveling out to make this one “coo” have improved hooves. Secondary, thanks for sharing with us all on RUclips; it’s great to see all the “coos” being help wether is a single “coo” or a large farm. I appreciate and thank you for all of your videos.
One of my friends takes her horse to a hoof trim meeting that is set up for owners of one or two horses. They have about 30 horses in all that come to one ranch. That way they don’t have the farrier running all over the place. Maybe that’s something the owners of the single cows can do
I think in a lot of cases, not only are the cows not handled the way horses are and therefore much more difficult to get into a trailer, but a lot of them may not have a trailer at all. Farmed cows also have a higher rate of communicable diseases that would be a potential risk as well.
They'd still have to book a block appointment time, which can be very difficult for a number of people to do (try scheduling a MMORPG raid for a guild, or a D&D game sometime!). And if they don't have a trailer to transport their cows, then they're SOL anyways. If there's enough single-cow owners locally, creating a community chat online for them all might help them to coordinate, and help them get to Graeme.
Oh I own 2 horses and farriers always traveled to us. They try to book people in the same area within the same day. You kind of just take what he gives you and make it work for him, good farriers are hard to find! 😂
@@skullfullofbooks7398 that's no joke! for a year I only had one to trim and my usual retired...took over a year to find one who didn't mind but by then we had the second horse come home.
So I saw an earlier video where you were talking about redoing your logo. I think you should leave it as it is. It's very recognizable, it's very descriptive of what you do, and it's great. I have done signs and Graphic design and logos in the past, and I think it's a really great logo.. your whole set up of your videos is really good as well. The way you speak on the videos, is really attractive, and good. Very educational and easy to listen to, The beautiful Scottish countryside and the music are just a winning combination. Congratulations on your success with this very well deserved!
Watching from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada! Never ever thought I’d be watching videos like this, but Geezus! The scenery is to die for and I love seeing these animals being cared for. I do, however, feel the need to keep my mom from seeing what I’m watching lol. She’d think I was crazy! Little does she know how incredibly satisfying it is!
Michelle> I'm older and I find it very satisfying, but most of my family would think I was crazy. Luckily I live alone and my dogs don't seem to mind what I watch, LOL!!!
@Charlie Wayne Schneider hello. Forgive me Charlie, but the tenor of your greeting suggests that we may have interacted before and your name is not ringing any bells
Love that this cow is so old. Very unusual these days. Shows what a good man you are that you make time for odd jobs like this when others don’t. Katie’s a very lucky lady.
Katy’s owner must be pleased as punch that their girl is now a movie star and she spent time with the world renowned Hoof GP and Craigy Boy! Lol. Nice hearts you both have to give an old girl such a lovely pedicure and make her feel youthful again.
Love the music you play. It is so beautiful & soothing. You are so wonderful to take care of these smaller farms & pet cows. It gives me hope in such stressful times. Thank very much!!!🌻💖
Lovely to see some more gorgeous scenery. Thank you. Graham (Hoof GP) wasn’t joking when he mentioned how high up and cold it is in that part of Dumfries and Galloway. I have a friend who lives in that area, and his is the highest village in Scotland. I visited it myself thirty-five years ago. Precious memories of a wonderful holiday. Katie is a stunning animal. What a loving, caring owner.
Kathy's a pretty girl! If I ever was to leave my Montana home. It would be to move to Scotland the beautiful home of my ancestors! You guys are blessed!
That was a very good video. It's nice to see a video like this once in awhile where a cow doesn't have any problems at all really no abscess very pus or anything is a very nice video thanks graham
Your genuine care for these animals and their humans is amazing! Katie is such a beautiful animal indeed! I stumbled upon your channel quite by accident, but I’m sure glad I did! Thank you for such great videos…keep it up!
You are the consummate professional. And you put together such a professional RUclips Pages well. I know nothing about trimming hooves but I enjoy watching it for some crazy reason
I'm not a trimmer but can't help but to find what you do fascinating I love the pride you have for your job and i find a since of peace and joy in the work you do
You are such a good person Graham who takes the welfare of the animals seriously. When this farmer was having trouble getting someone to look at this cow you stepped in and it’s a credit to you. It’s a pity there aren’t more people like you.
Katie did so well in the crush! Great job, Katie!! I can only imagine how strange her first few steps out of the crush felt. I am surprised she didn't turn around and give you a big slobbery kiss!!
I LOVE SEEING YOU GO OUT YOUR WAY TO HELP A SINGLE COW LIKE KATIE. THAT'S WHY I WATCH YOUR CHANNEL. YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT THE COWS & NOT ABOUT GETTING PROFIT!!!🙏💯
I really appreciate the music over the sound of the tools, my ears hate that grinding sound but i love these kinds of videos, its nice to be able to listen without triggering a headache!
Just so you know Graham. I love the music overlay. You have great taste. Some beautiful tunes and vocals from very talented bands. Wouldn't be the same without it. Thanks so much for your time in providing these videos. It's very much appreciated.
Katie is such a lucky cow to have been treated by you!!! I've been watching all your episodes and I am amazed of the love and care you put into those animals!!
I actually enjoy listening to the music in the background while watching you trim these cows hoofs. You do great work and I love all the content you put up, I am not a farmer or live anywhere near a farm but I do love watching these cows gain all the benefits you give them from all the work you do for them. Thank you for all the work you do
Thank you for taking the time for someone special, I'm sure it meant the world to the owner and the cow. I know it made me feel good 👍 and I didn't even help you.
New to the channel!!! My grandson and I love watching you fix the hurt cow feet. ( That's what my grandson say's) Scotland is truly beautiful!!! We love happy cows too!!! ❤😁❤
Graeme, you just make me happy. Watching your wonderful smile and your exuberance for life just goes right to my heart. That you love your family so much and love your dogs, makes my soul happy that you’re happy. You help these cows and bulls like no one can imagine. It’s so cathartic seeing them go from lame to walking after one of your trims. You just spread love and light wherever you go. Thank you for sharing who you are and especially for sharing the cows!!! 🐄🐄🐄
I bet she feels so much better. What an absolutely GORGEOUS farm!!! And I thought the weather changed quickly here in Oklahoma. I would love to take a few weeks and ride my motorcycle through your beautiful country!
You were thoughtful enough to make that long trek out to this farm but have more than one hundred percent helped a farmer who needed her poor cow looked after! Much respect for you also looking after the ‘little guy’ as well as you do your larger farms!
Whoops not finished yet- your compassion for such a humble creature that no one ever considers as having a value inspires a feeling and a desire to see how we as human beings can do so much better to take care of creatures who are subject to the people who own them. I truly hope and pray that you inspire a movement to take care of and consider the well being - and doing it in the spirit of excellence like you do - of all creatures who’s lives depend on human beings. You are inspiring and appreciated - God bless you!!! 🐄 ♥️
I came across your channel at some point maybe only a couple months ago And now I watch these videos as if I’m actually going to be helping by playing along with what’s wrong
God bless you for providing such a lovely service to these beautiful animals. And God bless the kind people who keep Katie as a pet. You could immediately see that she walked better and her discomfort was relieved.
Cows can be really sloppy animals if they like you. I used to walk past a herd of milkers at roughly the same time as they were let out from field to go home. One of them stopped, turned her head and slurped from my chin to top of my forehead. Lovely gesture, but it played hell with my glasses.
The owner has really struggled to get someone to care for her needs. You say you're booked for the next four or five years. And yet you took the time out of your busy life to help this owner and her beloved pet cow. You made a friend for life and beyond. You are a treasure.

If there's enough single-cow owners locally, creating a community chat online for them all might help them to coordinate, and help them get to Graeme.
Oh I own 2 horses and farriers always traveled to us. They try to book people in the same area within the same day. You kind of just take what he gives you and make it work for him, good farriers are hard to find! 😂
@@skullfullofbooks7398 that's no joke! for a year I only had one to trim and my usual retired...took over a year to find one who didn't mind but by then we had the second horse come home.
@@sarahkoebler7428 yes it sounds like a way to spread diseases between farms!
So I saw an earlier video where you were talking about redoing your logo. I think you should leave it as it is. It's very recognizable, it's very descriptive of what you do, and it's great. I have done signs and Graphic design and logos in the past, and I think it's a really great logo.. your whole set up of your videos is really good as well. The way you speak on the videos, is really attractive, and good. Very educational and easy to listen to, The beautiful Scottish countryside and the music are just a winning combination. Congratulations on your success with this very well deserved!
It's sad that the owner of katie was having such a hard time finding some one to come trim her. But have no fear the hoof GP to the rescue 🥳
She’s a pretty cow. Great job correcting her feet. That farmer sure has a spectacular view. What a beautiful country!
Watching from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada! Never ever thought I’d be watching videos like this, but Geezus! The scenery is to die for and I love seeing these animals being cared for. I do, however, feel the need to keep my mom from seeing what I’m watching lol. She’d think I was crazy! Little does she know how incredibly satisfying it is!
I bet your mom is watching it too and hiding it from you for the same reason! I'm probably your mom's age and I'm here!
@@1alayzzia That would be about right!! LOL!
Michelle> I'm older and I find it very satisfying, but most of my family would think I was crazy. Luckily I live alone and my dogs don't seem to mind what I watch, LOL!!!
@Charlie Wayne Schneider hello. Forgive me Charlie, but the tenor of your greeting suggests that we may have interacted before and your name is not ringing any bells
@Charlie Wayne Schneider hallo wie ghet es dir?
I love seeing you take care of a pet cow. That is so sweet that they care so much for her and great you took the time to help them. Thank you. ❤️❤️
Love that this cow is so old. Very unusual these days. Shows what a good man you are that you make time for odd jobs like this when others don’t. Katie’s a very lucky lady.
Katy’s owner must be pleased as punch that their girl is now a movie star and she spent time with the world renowned Hoof GP and Craigy Boy! Lol. Nice hearts you both have to give an old girl such a lovely pedicure and make her feel youthful again.
I love that you play music so we in your audience don’t catch the confidential conversations 🤎
Doesn't want us to know he supports a down souff football team.

@Charlie Wayne Schneider Hey Creeper, try creeping somewhere else.
Love the music you play. It is so beautiful & soothing. You are so wonderful to take care of these smaller farms & pet cows. It gives me hope in such stressful times. Thank very much!!!🌻💖
Nice that you made the time to help that single isolated pet comfortable, you old softee you! What a guy!
Lovely to see some more gorgeous scenery. Thank you. Graham (Hoof GP) wasn’t joking when he mentioned how high up and cold it is in that part of Dumfries and Galloway. I have a friend who lives in that area, and his is the highest village in Scotland. I visited it myself thirty-five years ago. Precious memories of a wonderful holiday. Katie is a stunning animal. What a loving, caring owner.
Fair play to you for going to all that effort for 1 cow you are a top top hoof trimmer respect to you 👏
You are the best! Trimming the tail, shows how much you care.🐮
Kathy's a pretty girl!
If I ever was to leave my Montana home. It would be to move to Scotland the beautiful home of my ancestors!
You guys are blessed!
Aww what a lovely girl Katie is 🥰 I hope she’s not in pain or anything anymore.. what a beautiful lady she is!
What a place to live , just beautiful.
Katie is now a happy cow!
I could not think of a more beautiful office to work in!
🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
Graham and Craig you live in an amazing place , your piece of paradise.
This is a prime example of someone who enjoys his job. I love this channel.
Nothing is harder than trying to be a business person, and a wanting to get everyone taken care of person.
What beautiful country!! I think that's why Katie is doing so good! Fresh air and lots of love!
So glad you were able to help this beautiful cow.
I know that couldn't have been a very profitable stop for only one cow but I'm glad you did it
What a beautiful cow. The scenery is to die for also. Another job well done!
That was a very good video. It's nice to see a video like this once in awhile where a cow doesn't have any problems at all really no abscess very pus or anything is a very nice video thanks graham
Your genuine care for these animals and their humans is amazing! Katie is such a beautiful animal indeed! I stumbled upon your channel quite by accident, but I’m sure glad I did! Thank you for such great videos…keep it up!
You are the consummate professional. And you put together such a professional RUclips Pages well. I know nothing about trimming hooves but I enjoy watching it for some crazy reason
I'm not a trimmer but can't help but to find what you do fascinating I love the pride you have for your job and i find a since of peace and joy in the work you do
You are such a good person Graham who takes the welfare of the animals seriously. When this farmer was having trouble getting someone to look at this cow you stepped in and it’s a credit to you. It’s a pity there aren’t more people like you.
I love how it's raining at the start, and sunny as can be at the end when the cow's trim is done! The Midwest in the USA can really be the same way.
Thank you Graham for sharing Katie with us. She is walking so much better since you trimmed her hoofs.
Katie did so well in the crush! Great job, Katie!! I can only imagine how strange her first few steps out of the crush felt. I am surprised she didn't turn around and give you a big slobbery kiss!!
Scotland was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken in my life! Can’t wait to go back
That has to be the most beautiful veiw in the whole of the uk
That was nice of you to go there for only one cow, it goes to show the care you have for these animals. Plus you got to see some beutiful new views.
I LOVE SEEING YOU GO OUT YOUR WAY TO HELP A SINGLE COW LIKE KATIE. THAT'S WHY I WATCH YOUR CHANNEL. YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT THE COWS & NOT ABOUT GETTING PROFIT!!!🙏💯
Thanks for taking care of Katy. Shes a beautiful color and so pretty. She’s lovely and you’re a good man.
Hi from New Zealand! Parts of Scotland are very similar to the countryside here. Thoroughly enjoy your videos and the wonderful Scottish accent. 😊
I really appreciate the music over the sound of the tools, my ears hate that grinding sound but i love these kinds of videos, its nice to be able to listen without triggering a headache!
Just so you know Graham. I love the music overlay. You have great taste. Some beautiful tunes and vocals from very talented bands. Wouldn't be the same without it.
Thanks so much for your time in providing these videos. It's very much appreciated.
I'm addicted to watching your channel now. You care so much for the cows & you are warm & funny. Keep trimming & I'll keep watching! 🐄🐃🐂💖
Katie is such a lucky cow to have been treated by you!!!
I've been watching all your episodes and I am amazed of the love and care you put into those animals!!
Her Curls are so precious!!! Poor Mrs. Katie’s feet. You made her feet and tail look so Pretty. You are a great man!
Beautiful scenery!!😍♥️😍
It's things like that , that makes a million people want to watch your videos. Hey craigy boy. You guys are awesome 🐮❤
I actually enjoy listening to the music in the background while watching you trim these cows hoofs. You do great work and I love all the content you put up, I am not a farmer or live anywhere near a farm but I do love watching these cows gain all the benefits you give them from all the work you do for them. Thank you for all the work you do
Thank you for taking the time for someone special, I'm sure it meant the world to the owner and the cow. I know it made me feel good 👍 and I didn't even help you.
Glad to see Mr. GP hasn't forgotten about the "little guy" on his way to stardom : ) Rock on
Thank you for your kindness to those folks who do not have big herds, I am certain it is not really monetarily effective it is extremely karma rich.
New to the channel!!! My grandson and I love watching you fix the hurt cow feet. ( That's what my grandson say's) Scotland is truly beautiful!!! We love happy cows too!!! ❤😁❤
What a kind soul you are to make time for someone who is trying to do right by their livestock but can't get the help they need
Graeme, you just make me happy. Watching your wonderful smile and your exuberance for life just goes right to my heart. That you love your family so much and love your dogs, makes my soul happy that you’re happy. You help these cows and bulls like no one can imagine. It’s so cathartic seeing them go from lame to walking after one of your trims. You just spread love and light wherever you go. Thank you for sharing who you are and especially for sharing the cows!!! 🐄🐄🐄
Katie at 13 yrs old is looking pretty good. Great to see you are willing to help out the help out the small farmers. Great video.
I bet she feels so much better. What an absolutely GORGEOUS farm!!! And I thought the weather changed quickly here in Oklahoma. I would love to take a few weeks and ride my motorcycle through your beautiful country!
You were thoughtful enough to make that long trek out to this farm but have more than one hundred percent helped a farmer who needed her poor cow looked after! Much respect for you also looking after the ‘little guy’ as well as you do your larger farms!
A very good video. Just love Scotland’s scenery!! Whatta beauty of a cow!! No wonder they r one of ur favs. Great 2cCraig as well!!!
Whoops not finished yet- your
compassion for such a humble
creature that no one ever considers as having a value inspires a feeling and a desire to see how we as human beings can do so much better to take care of creatures who are subject to the people who own
them. I truly hope and pray that you inspire a movement to take care of and consider the well being - and doing it in the spirit of excellence like you do - of all creatures who’s lives depend on human beings. You are inspiring and appreciated - God bless you!!! 🐄 ♥️
I came across your channel at some point maybe only a couple months ago
And now I watch these videos as if I’m actually going to be helping by playing along with what’s wrong
It’s sweet of you to take the time to treat Katie. ❤️
Another beautiful video. What a big girl! Good of you to go help out Katie and her family!
From Petaluma California
How thoughtful of you to treat these lone cows. It must be difficult to find the time but the owners and cows surely appreciate you.
God bless you for providing such a lovely service to these beautiful animals. And God bless the kind people who keep Katie as a pet. You could immediately see that she walked better and her discomfort was relieved.
Cows can be really sloppy animals if they like you. I used to walk past a herd of milkers at roughly the same time as they were let out from field to go home. One of them stopped, turned her head and slurped from my chin to top of my forehead. Lovely gesture, but it played hell with my glasses.
Isn't it lovely to see how well they look after their animals as well as Graeme looking after them
