Well that was rude , you consider you as a friend and you consider him as an acquaintance I mean I was rude. 🤨
Ha ha ha I was 100% joking - Tom knows we’re good friends
@@TheHoofGP People don’t understand your sense of humour, you wouldn’t of driven 3 hours if he wasn’t your friend 😂
You just don't understand our sense of humour. You from USA by any chance?
@@rock07879 i'm pretty sure us americans tease our friends this way too.
@@rock07879 I’m from the US and totally got it 🤷🏽♀️ Some folks don’t understand dry humor
"Not graphical probably doesn't make for good viewing"
My man, I'm not here for the gross and graphical. I'm here because I see a man who loves his job and his craft, and is enthusiastic in sharing it with the world. As someone who wants to share my interests with the world too, I appreciate you and all that you do, and that's why I'm here. And will carry on being here.
Not gonna lie, I originally came here for the gross, but I stayed because of the soothing presentation and the joy of watching a master at perform their craft.
a happy cow is a good tasting one?
@@majstealth Dairy cows, and yes...just because an animal may end up as a part of the food chain doent mean they don't deserve to be treated as well as possible with the upmost humanity....I personally wouldn't want to eat steer that are maltreated or neglected with all sorts of sicknesses and whatnot.
@@topfacemod it’s a matter of practicality too. The majority of people (in the USA) are used to eating ‘feed lot’ cattle. These animals are kept in miserable conditions and, just prior to the slaughter, are treated in a manner guaranteed to terrify them, kicking them into ‘fight or flight’ mode, triggering all the adrenaline in them to run rampant through their bodies, which actually makes the meat taste rank. But the people have become so used to it, they don’t know anything else. My grandparents slaughtered a steer every fall. But he was always treated well, fed well, saw a vet when needed, and was happily eating grass, when a large caliber round went through his brain, from a pretty good distance, without him ever seeing a person, or anything to frighten him. The resulting meat was aged properly and when finally used was totally different from grocery store meats. Because the steer was not frightened or even anxious when he died.
@@earlinejackson8151 Thank you, earline! My mom was raised on a farm in upstate NY's dairy region. I appreciate further insight!
I am watching this with the sound off, then went "wait... that's Tom's highland shed. And that's the huge new shed in the background!" Sure enough, you're on Tom's farm today. That man loves his cows dearly.
Thanks so much for coming again guys! Really appreciate it.
That machine was unreal btw! Never seen anything like it! Crazy how calm they are with both feet in the air.
Also… 100% about the cubicles, I was very nervous before speaking to you but would never go back now. The ladies have never been so chilled 😊🐮
Thank you for taking such good care of those girls! 🐮🥰
You look after them well Tom!
You really do take care of them, never ever have I seen cow so comfortable around people, that they would come for cuddles. I mean whos cows even know human can be used this way.
@@BJKage hahah yeah people come around a bit and I always get. “Your cows are friendly” 😂 Always makes me smile 😊
@@TomPembertonFarmLife Well, good for you and don´t worry, you´re not the only one. I live in tiny flat and I have to ask my 3 kg Chihuahua Ruby if I can go to my own bed. It got much better since my 18 year old cat died I was a poor little man back than 😁. And there´s tons of us crazy animal lovers out there, but these cows are really something.🤠🐮
Highlands are so cute. He was clearly thinking “damn this thing; can’t fit my horns”.
I love seeing how happy and comfy all those cows are. All farm animals should be so well-treated.
That ending was so adorable, I lost all my man points. It may not be graphic, but my favourite is seeing those happy, healthy, curious girls coming for pats. They look amazing.
And they are even happier when Tom lets them out first time in spring as they jump for joy! Watch one of those on Toms channell

Came for the hoof trimming, stayed for the lovely Highlands! Not every video has to be gross and graphic--I enjoy seeing the farms and the happy cows.
Honestly, I really like watching the videos with lesser ailments. It's a relief that he's gonna be just fine with an easy fix, and not permanently injured or with years of recovery ahead of him.
I agree❤
I grew up in a farming family working a small dairyfarm in Pennsylvania. Most people think of cows as dull, unintelligent animals, and the huge industrial dairies treat them as little more than drones. But seeing how friendly, social and intelligent these well cared for cattle are sets the record straight. You can see how healthy and happy they are by how they interact with humans. These are truly contented cows, and it's heartwarming to see.
My mom told stories of how the cows would conspire with each other at milking time. If you tried to walk between them, they would come together to pin you in place. Who says they don't have a sense of humor
Right? At the end the cows were almost like puppies
@@Raynl1978 Seems that we need to provide some mental stimulation. They must have crushing boredom.
As a watcher of all of Tom's videos I can tell you these cows are very happy ; they even have their own motorised brushes that they can scratch on!
same with chickens, every single one weve ever had ive spent the most time with and it definitly pays off. theyve never tried to actively hurt us, they are very social and like to follow me around, and its really funny lifting some treats high up and seeing them jump for it
Tom always says “Happy cows , happy farmer.” I’m sure he took it as a huge compliment to say his cows are happy.❤️🇨🇦
Aw so glad the bull was so easily fixable and will be okay! Also: Highlands are ADORABLE.
They so are, with all that floppy fur on their faces.
I love them!
I've always wondered why we hadn't seen any Highlands on the channel. Great to finally see one!! Glad to see the problem was a minor one!
They are beautiful
We have some "shredded wheat cattle" right here in western New York State!
@@bearmotel I live in chenango County NY lol we have all kinds of cows out by me lol mostly milkers
He was the cutest boy, although I was feeling a little sad for him as his horns kept getting stuck. Can you imagine an Ankole cattle in a chute? Not that they get their feet trimmed.
Probably not as common for them to have hoof problems, they're quite primitive, borderline wild animals adapted to largely look after themselves.
Confession: that hearty laugh from you at the end is something I’ve rarely heard but is pretty endearing
All animals on farms SHOULD be that happy. Sadly, that’s not always the case.
I truly appreciate how dedicated you are to your clients.
Agree it wonderful to see proper animal care and it’s horrific when it not
Don't think you'll be having to drive to Tom's farm any longer! Due to the mass disrespect you showed him! What's up with that???
@@KC-603 they're friends, he knew he was joking.
@@MrDeathBunny yeah, who drives 300 miles, to help an acquaintance?
The cows here look so friendly and socialable, it's lovely.
I was thinking that too.^.^ They even pushed each other away for cuddles and pets. XD
I didn't come here for the gross and graphic... I came here to see the adorable highland cattle. The friendly ladies at the end were the perfect closers!
Graeme, I would say it is a testament on Tom on how much trust his cows have in him and yourself/Craigie Boy as very competent hoof trimmers. Cattle are not dumb, they appreciate good care when they receive it and look forward to more of the same at regular maintenance intervals. Great for milk production and good for meat production also. Thank you!
Tom Pemberton, Graeme Parker and Craigie Boy! What a squad! Well done team!
I wonder what the diesel bill was though? 😅
And you watching ...all my favourite guys.
They're only missing you! But its not quite a sheep unfortunately 🤣🤣🤣
Good evening sheep fans 👋
Cammy you need to talk Tom in to sheep he’s spoken about them a few times but wonder with a little persuasion would he swap the goats for sheep? …. Although if he did that Heidi might never speak to him again. So he just needs both, do goats need to be sheared ? 🤣
Cammy coming to help with the sheep next!? Tbf I do have them in the furthest away field with out a dog 🤔🙈😂
So brave of you to wander in amongst those terrifying wild beasts!
My uncle used to say that you can always tell how a farmer treats his animals by how his animals treat him. Those beasties look happy and healthy and loved.
I don't think Highland bulls are that wild?
So true!
@@horsetuna Sorry. That was supposed to be taken as sarcasm.
So nice to see a good farmer who cares about his herd and livelihood
I wish he would wash the yard down though.
I truly could've watched a full hour of this! Those happy cows and that incredible, comfy shed 😍. Good on YOU Tom Pemberton ❤
He was co calm! It was almost as if he knew you were going to help him. Highland cattle are so cool. Thanks for showing us!
Tom's cows are so curious and friendly! I love how they came right up to see what you were doing, and see if you had perhaps some good scratches to give out.
That is awesome to see. I agree.
Do they like *Mash?* (coarse-ground corn, oats and barley, sweetened with molasses.)
Loved how the bull just sat down while waiting to be set free. And they way he walked afterwards was like a trot! He looked like a very happy man after bring treated
That bull never would've relaxed like that if he were stressed out!
he knew they were trying to help him so he just accepted it and went for a relax 😂 amazing
I started to think why I watch this channel, and the answer came fast, it because I love to see these cows being treated nicely and how how this guy solve their problems when they don’t have voice.
Wee highland coos have to be my favourite cattle breed and when I visited Scotland we couldn't drive anywhere without seeing some grazing away, looking serene and adorable.
How cute was that highland bull, looks like a teddy bear! Glad he was not seriously damaged and neither were you!💕🇨🇦
Hello Cindy how are you doing today
Gross 🤢 @steven
Yes! Or an Old English sheepdog with all that fur over his eyes.
I love to see cows this friendly. You know they are being treated well!
It was your first visit to Tom’s farm that introduced me to him. Thank you. Now we get to se you back again. Great visit. I think you took the Raptor just to tease him. 👍👍
I worked for a vet years ago and we went to a farm that had Highland cattle. They were very impressive looking. I thought the bull did really well walking into the chute of gates and the crush considering his horns were catching all the way in he stayed very calm. I am amazed that the crush lifts them completely up and holds all four legs, that's what it looks like to me. I can't believe they don't panic. I enjoy your videos and especially how you give the cows some petting.
LOL, these crushes would not accommodate a real Longhorn, would they?
@@jeannerogers7085 I don't see how it could.
Highland are the "RockStars" of cattle. So beautiful & sweet. I have been dying to see you work with these guys. Even the cows in Scotland are charming & gorgeous! 😍
I found Toms channel through that first visit you did 2 years ago and have loved watching both channels since. The changes that you have both made in that time have been astounding considering how many businesses have failed and struggled through the pandemic.
And Im sure there are lots of cows that really appreciate all your efforts.
😳 Has it really been 2 years!?
Both of their businesses fit into the essential category. We don’t get what we want/need if they aren’t doing their job.
Always great to see Graeme visiting Tom's farm, great blokes with an equally immense love, appreciation and respect for cows and their health!
So true.🐄💚🐂
Ahh finally a Scottish Highlander....Nice. I used to help raise them with my dad and actually had a pet Highlander named Barney. Good times. Hard work but when you get the Highlanders tamed down they become just 1500 pound pets...love the channel, keep up the great work.
So awesome that the cows are friendly towards you guys! That means that they are treated well. 💕
Being in Texas, USA, I'm surprised that the cattle there don't have serious hoof issues (& the horses) due to it always being so wet there. Great job Hoof GP!
Hello from Texas!
Hello from Texas!
Howdy GP, food for thought, some may watch for the graphic nature of the work, not the case for all. I was drawn to the content because of the hands on work and the pride you guys take in the work you & Craigie do for caring after the animals, also The fun you have with each other while working for your daily bread! Cheers to the workers of the world who take pride in their work even when nobody pats them on the back! God bless y'all!
i watch these videos mostly because of this man's passion for his work. awesome.
First I was assuming their Highlands' horns would be too wide to fit in through the crush and then, Woah! @ 3'46": I hadn't realised ALL the cow's feet are off the deck at the same time!
Flying cows! Fantastic - and the view from up there? Stunning! I want a go!
So far this has my favorite, the end where all those cows wanted your attention made me smile. I love your personality, you introduced us to your sweet family. Thank you.
Tom always has slot going on! And now he is daddy! And he has new parlors with cows can and do lay down so happy! Tom is really checking out how to make things better.
That is so neat how the Cows just come up for some Loving from there caretakers. They appreciate you in their own way. Thanks for sharing
You know, I've never thought much about cow hoofs. After discovering your channel, I find your content engaging. Your love of the animals and the craft is inspiring, and it shows in abundance!
I love how friendly Tom's cows are.
My ex-father-in-law was a 3rd generation dairy farmer, but his cows were not that friendly.
Whenever I went to see him in the barn around milking time he had me stand way out of the way to be safe.
Scratches behind cows ears looks like more fun.
Prayers, strength, love yourself.
🙏💪💜
Hello Michelle how’s the weather over there
Omg the Highlands are so cute!! And I can’t believe all the dairy cows coming up for a scratch at the end! You know they are happy cows when they want to get a pet from people ❤️
Easyfix seems like a no-brainer. I hope the farmers add them all over. I love cows.
I always love when these two do a video together, it just goes to show that it in some ways, it truly is a small world, much love to the both of you ❤️
I was surprised he didn't have a more damaged hoof. I'm glad it's just a little infection.
Tom has utilized some great products for the cows.
The Highland breed is becoming more popular in the US. They're cute.
Carry on
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing today
P.S. Thank you EasyFix and Tom for giving those ladies a more comfortable life!
Soon as I saw the highland, I asked myself if it's Toms farm, watch him alot. He's done lots of upgrades. Love to see you tubers visit each other's shows.
I tuned in to quickly to JUST watch the before and after portion, but I was compelled to watch your lovely, friendly intro greeting and enjoyed the music, your voice, and story-telling. Thank you.
aw man, i love seeing farms that take care of their livestock, those cows look beautiful and so calm and relaxed. Its a big dream but I'd love to see all farms around the world be this loving towards their cows, it makes me happy to see~
I’m glad it was something relatively easy and with a few days things should look up for this Bull. 🐃
Hello Heather how are you doing today
Woohoo! Seeing the hoof GP with Tom is the best!! 😍😍🐮🐮
The best viewing was getting to see the highland cows, they are gorgeous! And so cute watching them eat bread
That got a sorely needed smile out of me! Thanks HGP!
I think it’s amazing that even though it was only a minor problem, you traveled all the way to Tom’s just to help him & I bet that bull is so thankful for what you did for him. I love at the end were you have all the girls (cows) loving on you. Keep up the awesome work that you & Craigh do, I love to watch your channel 😃👍🏻
Love watching you and have watched Tom's channel as well since you introduced him. Both of you are fascinating to watch and your love and care of the animals is great and genuine!
So glad you went to see Tom's new shed and set up. It is amazing!! It is every day is a spa day for the cows!!. And you took care of the highland, which is great.
Ty so much for showing happy cows and the care they are given❤️
I love how all the cows are well cared for and respected. And the fact that you talk to them and touch them with kindness.
I can't get over how much Mushy Manure these cattle have over their hooves, not just this day but numerous days. The weather maybe the cause or bad housekeeping or are the cattle keep in pens most of the time or free range.....
or
I’m happy for you that you got a chance to catch up with your “acquaintance” (🤣🤣), as well as get to see all the hard work Tom and his family have put into the improvements for the cows in the new shed. Sometimes, having an “easy” day where you can simply do a few feet, visit with friends, and then find that someone valued your advice to the point of investing in equipment to benefit their precious herd, that must be tremendously rewarding. But, then to simply take a moment of time to enjoy the lovely cows/ladies - the very reasons why you are in the business you are in - this is what must make a “good day” into a “Tremendously Great Day.” Bravo and congratulations
One of your best videos ever! Love to see happy cow’s!❤️
Great to see you back at Tom's farm. His new shed is amazing isn't it. And your input helped to make his mind up on the important things for the cows care. Brilliant
Be more like Tom and be kind to your animals, especially the ones we don’t think of as pets but we are happy to get our food from. Lovely seeing the Jerseys. That’s where I’m from. The Highlands are beautiful too. Very sweet while they’re being good🤓 Great video. Hi from Brisbane👋
I’m late to watching this video, but it sure made me smile and remember growing up on my grandparents farm. Thank you, Sir
Yay! I was just watching one of your other videos because I needed a Hoof GP fix and a new video pops up! Happy day!
I'm really impressed with how tame and happy them cows seem to be
Wow cows are so friendly and they all look well taken care of at the end! 😊
I know I have said this before I'm Roxie and I enjoy watching you and the guys so thank you and please give my love to those beautiful cows ❤❤
Visited Lancaster area twice...beautiful region of England. While in Lancaster took the train up to Edinburgh Scotland...so green. Didn't know about cows...saw lots of sheep. Love this area of GB. ❤🇺🇸
You know, I do enjoy (well, for various definitions of "enjoy") the problematic hoof trims, but I also REALLY enjoy seeing the community of farmers and hoof trimmers supporting each other.
Hoof GP and Tom Pemberton are two of my favorite channels on YT, so it's always a delight when they get together - even when it's not a "dramatic" hoof trim LOL
Best blessings from Virginia, and keep up the joyous and loving care of the cows
The odds of having a “dramatic “ hoof trim on Tom’s are fairly slim. Between him and his trimmer they catch stuff early.
May not have been a super interesting trim but to see how cute the Highland cows are and how friendly they really are…makes me want to reach through my phone and give scritches to the scruff on top of his head! ❤️❤️
There’s a few videos of highlands getting brushed. Watch one called Hamish hugs.
Real gentle giants
I loved this video and I’m so glad there wasn’t a serious problem! Seeing happy, friendly, relaxed cows was so nice.
I absolutely love Highland cattle. I fell in love with them while watching Swedish Homestead on RUclips. Yes they can be temperamental and the bulls can be very defensive but in general they're awesome. Not so much for milk but definitely meaty animals. You are truly living the life. I'm of Scottish descent and hope to come there one day and maybe relocate if I enjoy it as much as I think I would
Love seeing everyone including the cows having a good time
Two magnificent individuals, with two outstanding RUclips channels! Tom Pemberton Farm Life and Graeme Parker’s The Hoof GP!
I was having a bad day then I heard "hello and welcome to the hoof gp" and for a second there I has the stupidest grin on my face.
Congrats dude, you're a shining beacon of positivity for all who watch
You are honestly amazing! Thank you so much for helping these poor bulls/cows! Stay safe 🏴
I love Highlands. Their faces with bangs are so cute. From what I've read, they are gentle & friendly.
The girls at the end were very curious & wanted some lovin.
The Highland cows are so beautiful oh my goodness. And Im glad to see the bull can be fixed up pretty easily. I also love that the farmer redid the barn to make it as comfortable as possible for the cows.
Highland cattle are my favorite. My grandma raises them on her farm and they are truly the most beautiful creatures. I love how fluffy and cute the babies are!
So I remember my dad driving us in the backwoods of who knows where Oregon and there was half wooly mammoth half Texas long horn in the middle of the road staring at us. It eventually stomped at us and my dad decided it was best not explain to the rental company how holes were punched in the side. So we went back the way we came. 20 some odd years later I finally saw a poster of cattle and it showed a highland. I was so happy that we weren't crazy. ha ha. Because of that, I have liked them ever sense I learned they really did exist.
Really looking forward to watching Tom's video of this day as well! Also you mentioned that it's "not the content we came for" but we come here for you, Craig and the cows! I honestly hate it when a cow has toe necrosis and its really sad. We come here to watch you trim. I do like it when you show before and afters, and it is educational when you talk about what you are going to do to help and why you are going to do it. Thank you for your continued posts and videos!
That was absolutely delightful. Id happily watch videos of you loving on the cows. They are very sweet.
So glad it was an eazy fix. Often times my heart just hurt watch you tring to help them knowing that while your helping the are still in pain. I know you can't give pain meds and you are doing the best you can not to hurt them any more than you can help. Please keep up the good work and Video's. Watcher for 4 years. :)
Love the highlands they’re so cute ❤️y’all do such a wonderful job. You can’t tell how much you love your job it’s a joy to watch you all . 🥰
It’s nice to see how well these animals are taken care of. They really did look like some happy cows.
With that said, I been wanting
to go see some farms like that. Even just a road trip out to some local farms. It always makes for nice drives.
I watch Tom and he really cares about his animals which is good to see. I love seeing you guys all together. I have the same sense of humour and i got you was joking straight away.
My name is Chris Stewart, I love your show. The music for the opening of your show is great God bless you for being willing to help animals
They really are such a pretty breed of cattle and I just adore them.
I was unlucky enough to get caught in a small stampede of longhorns while on horseback in Texas and it was terrifying but magnificent at the same time. Luckily no animals or people got hurt but the beauty of them in full motion was a sight I have never forgotten
Some of us came here for the nasty graphic stuff, but we stay for a positivity, great accent and Craigie-boy. If it's all good news, a good trim and smile I think we can all agree it's a bloody-great thing. We all need more joy, happiness and better things in our lives, and I come to here, for my daily dose of good stuff.
It’s always nice up see when cows are so friendly and curious. Good heartwarming footage at the end there.
Highland cattle are my absolute favorite breed!! So glad you could help that beautiful bull!
Thank you for sharing this stunningly beautiful animal. My personal favorite.
I dont what i enjoyed more, seeing a settup that makes life better for the animals seeing them all rush you or seing the bull not suffering to badly
honestly any content shared is good! keep making them!!
I love when you take the time to give the cows scratches behind the ears and pets and when you let us see that. I always remembered what you said about the intelligence level of cows :)
Glad I got to see this one. I would have thought there would have been something that was a trim issue but seeing dermatitis would cause that much pain makes it a great learning video for anyone that wouldn't know to look there on a Highland.
The intro sequence and music just makes my day. Thank you for bringing joy
