That would be me as well! Those have to be INCREDIBLY strong to be that small and be able to bear that much force on them without cracking or bending no matter how sharp they might be.
@@leasakaitoa7421 Yes it is, but for the infection smell to come through over the smells in the cow barns, it does need a bit of potency to it. Of course, for Graeme, the smell of the cow barn is a normal, background smell every day, so he probably doesn't notice it much. It's a warm, comforting smell to me, which is probably weird!
As someone who started watching these for the satisfaction element it really is amazing how after enough time I really have started to analyze and accurately predict where parts of the hoof horn are gonna open up. I feel like I've subconsciously absorbed more information about hoof trimming than I ever meant to. Which just goes to show how informative these vids are as well as entertaining.
That hole just didn't want to stop! I'm so glad you do what you do, and that you have passed on your knowledge to others. I've now been watching for years, before you had your million followers, and watching you work is never boring or ordinary. Thank you for what you do. Much love x
My other half is retired after 38 yrs as a farrier/blacksmith, owning his own business. He started out trimming cows feet,then expanded his business to include other farm animals,mainly horses. He had to retire a few years ago after having both hips replaced . All the wear & tear from trimming & shoeing horses wore them out completely. He misses the work. He looks the part of a blacksmith/farrier,big,tall,redheaded with a big red beard (when we met 24 yrs ago) not so red anymore,lol but still big & tall.
A friend Farrier of mine, from my horse racing days, described the biggest challenge of his profession in one sentence: "There are few ways to earn a living more punishing to the body, than one where you work with your head lower than your arse all day." This is a very apt saying for someone who shears sheep as well.
@gregedmand9939 my other half is 6' 4" tall He spent 6 days a week,many hours a day in that position. He'll be 70 in a couple months and would still be trimming & shoeing if not for the hips wearing out. I don't miss the smells he brought home,some of that is almost impossible to get out of clothes & off your hands.
@kimtruehart7027 Yeah... It's hard to get rid of the stink of thrush, or the copper sulfate used to treat it. Plus a whole host of other delightful "horsey" odours.
@@kimtruehart7027 My only experience with goat's was with the nannies we brought in for companions of certain horses. I don't recall them being stinky like I've heard about billies. I think the worst farming/livestock odour, I've encountered, has to be hog slurry! I don't know how folk who farm large herds can learn to tolerate it. Horses, cattle and sheep smell like daisies in comparison.
The pain tolerance of animals is amazing. I'd be on crutches, massive pain meds, and curled up crying with anything even close to this! I know that because when I was young my brother was giving me a piggy back ride to our swimming hole and caught my foot on barbed wire going through a gate. It tore the top of my foot open and I couldn't walk for weeks. I've seen much worse on these cows' feet.
Nothing more debilitating than a foot injury. I suffer with eczema on the soles of my feet because I'm reactive to latex products, and most modern shoes have rubber in their construction. Even a small blister on the sole of your foot can have huge consequences re mobility.
Enjoy all your videos. Just finished watching the longer vlog style on your other channel. Love the longer ones best but had to click this one too! All the best from snowy Atlantic Canada!
It is always a pleasure to see the hoof gp getting surprised by something and going:"ok, new plan, hop to it, this heffer will be walking better and I'm here to see to that".
Ooooo! She was TOTALLY ouchy with that hoof! Very good video! Thank you! Did it ever cross your mind as you posted your very FIRST video to launch your platform, that you would come as far as you have, and become as big as you have and be so popular world-wide as you have???? Amazing, isn't it? And you know why? You are a good fellow, your crew are good fellows, and your family is wonderful! For many of us, watching you adds to our days in a good way and we're your "extended" family. Pop the cork on the bubbly, Man!
Man, I love watching your videos. It takes me back to my farming days. I really miss it sometimes. I'm so happy you take such good care of the cows. Thank you.
It always amazes me how much hides in the hoof horn layers. Patience is a must when searching for the cause. I can imagine the pain level is excruciating
I'm glad to see you posting more. I'm getting over pneumonia right now, and your videos have help me to relax while I wait for my meds to kick in. Thank you, boys!!!
It's nice to know the Farmers are looking out for the Livestock, A lot of city people wouldn't know how farms work, P.S I'm so glad I can't smell what your smelling!
I've heard city folk say we need to stop farming and hunting and just get our food from the grocery stores. Definitely a SMH moment to think just how ignorant some people are.
One of the things I love about these videos is we get to see everything uncut/unedited unless it's travel or if nothing happens really etc and that sometimes the trims aren't perfect or look good you do your absolute best for these girls to make sure they're comfortable rather than oh it's a youtube video I'll make it look nice
You’re an expert. Others might have backed away from revealing the whole problem. But this poor cow must feel such relief from exposing the entire cavity. I wish you were my dentist!
Great work! The cow was walking very well at the end there - much better than expected! Must have been a huge relief for her to get all of that muck out of her hoof!
Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart ❤️ your videos are so relaxing I can't explain it it's just such a fantastic feeling watching you help them feel better and walk away feeling better too it's just amazing 👏 so thank you all of ya! ❤
Oh thank you sweetie for looking after these towels I don’t know if I could be any kind of a farmer because I’d be heartbroken every time I saw a cow that was limping or sore but having people like you and your team around are just the best and you really make me happy
How generous. She left you a tip as she walked away. Seriously, though, nice job. Everytime you found more of that cavity I though, oh my, the poor girl! Thanks for helping her be more comfortable.
You know,I don't know why Graham (sorry if I spelled it wrong) but your videos are so like soothing or hypnotic. Dunno but thanks, always look forward to the next one. Not even a cow fan except for my cereal in the am and the steak in the pm haha
One reason why I like to watch the Hoof GP is the bird sounds you can hear in the background. These make me think about my youth. As a kid I lived with my grandparents in a very rural part of Belgium. In those days I could wake up and hear the little sparrows singing outside my window. When we opened the kitchen window and put some breadcrumbs on the window tablet they came into the kitchen to eat them. Those sparrows were quite tame from all the feeding 😄. Now I live in a not so rural place and it is like all the birds have gone. Especially the sparrows. It has been a long time since I heard or saw one. Maybe I should visit Scotland and take a tour through the region. I bet I will see plenty of birds. Actually I have already been in Scotland some years ago. Then I visited a friend an I went to Edinburgh. Now taking a trip,through the land would seem nice. Thanks for bringing back memories.
Memories give us a way to go back to a happy place where we lived in different ways and we had loved ones that have sadly passed on. Sounds like you have magical moments to remember.
I get PETA info monthly and the🎉y had a story about a cow dairy farm in Connecticut that is horrible. They are crowded together, sleep or stand all day on concrete. I was tearing up. Since watching your videos i have come to love the expressions , behaviours and the way they love to be in groups. I am an animal lover ❤. Those big beautifuil eyes melt my heart and itt is wonderful how you are truly making their lives easier in every way. I am in my 50's with 2 broken knee replacements and a broken ankle fusion. The pain and difficulty having sore feet, ankles etc effect everything you do. Thank for being you.❤
By the by, xmas I bought a t-shirt from you for my son-in-law, and a Highland cuddly cow for my granddaughter who takes it with her and daddy at weekend when he's working ❤❤
I finally finished listening to your book today. I listened to it only in the car, while I was driving. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It was a GREAT book!!!🥰❤️🐄🐄🐄 🧑🏻⚕️🩺
What happened to the orange handled knives you used to use? They looked a lot less bulky than the wooden ones you use now. Could you walk us through the different knives, and why you changed /what you prefer ?
This really is one of the most bingeable channels I’ve seen. I’m surprised the Discovery channel hasn’t scooped you guys up yet. You’re just as entertaining as Mythbusters or Mike Rowe’s Dirty Jobs (the shows I grew up with).
Incredibly that you find the injury. I don’t know how you do this but I didn’t see anything wrong. That’s why I look at all you video’s. You are fantastic in your beautiful Scotland. Country I visited when I was 16.❤❤
I always think that for the cow, when there's a cavity and hoof horn is trying to grow into it, it must be like having a really bad ingrown toenail, and it just makes the whole thing worse.
WOW!!!!!! That first swipe that revealed the large cavity showed the clearest example of the laminae I have seen. Right along the inside of the hoof wall towards the bottom of the first large opening swipe. We have seen striations in the edge of the hoof wall, when removing anything loose... like hoof then corium, then hoof then corium again in the laminae pattern, but I don't think I have ever seen really *intact* laminae. I believe that may have been where the extra fluid was coming from (up on of the laminae tracks?? maybe) when you said it was still going around the 5 minute mark. Please let me know if I am incorrect. Edit... okay I finished the video and I definitely think it was a laminae track haha. It's all so fascinating. Incredible shot and wonderful video! Bravo!
Anyone else wanna see the knife maintenance? The sharpening ? And the difference between a new and old knife ?
That would be me as well! Those have to be INCREDIBLY strong to be that small and be able to bear that much force on them without cracking or bending no matter how sharp they might be.
I've actually asked about it, but I only got a reply from a mimic account. Would love to see how they maintain the curved blade.
Absolutely, I would love to see how it is done.
There is a vid showing some sharpening, from some time ago.
Me!!!
I love that she thanked you by taking a big dump as she walked away lol
Stress release. 😅
Celebratory code brown
She was nice enough to hold it till she was free 😂
I started watching with the old crush was still being used and the intro was simple, you’ve come such a long way 😢 big proud hoof man
Same! I feel like we are primary school friends and now he's famous 😂
I did too! I agree with you!
Me too
You really shouldn’t refer to your missus as the ‘old crush’! Plus keep how you used her to yourself thank you very much! 😂😂
I’m definitely not famous 😂
I smell
Too bad most days to be famous 😅😂🤣
The fact you smell the decay, over the normal smells of a farm helps illustrate the issue!
Not to down grade Graeme’s abilities, the infection is a very different smell to the normal smells around the farm.😁
@@leasakaitoa7421 Yes it is, but for the infection smell to come through over the smells in the cow barns, it does need a bit of potency to it.

@@leasakaitoa7421horses and cows smell good, especially horses.
Normal Farm smells, you really don't smell them after a while.

That was wild! I can't believe how deep that cavity was. Its very satisfying to watch you do this, especially with the more gooey ones, lol.

Thanks Graeme. This one took me back to the days of the Woper.
I've watched your videos for some time. I admire the care and the humour that you carry out. Respect to you and the crew.
Once you get the cavity opened up you can see how incredibly painful that would be! Poor girl!
Wow so glad you fixed it. Thank you. I know she will get better.
Goodness! In for a penny, in for a pound. Good thing she got the care she needed !
The pressure relief is incredible for that cow.
Great job,thank you

Checked your merch. You have good stuff!
Thank you for helping her!
Smallest hoofs I remember seeing you work on :)
Excellent work, as always!
I'd love to see a blooper reel. As hard as y'all work and the stresses of takingcare of these animals, some folly would be great
I'm always amazed at how big the cows 🐄🐮 are, and how tiny their hooves are.

Poor lass good job there's guy's like you around .
Awesome job..... again! Lucky girl!
Good evening Graham. Fabulous work as always 😊

What happened to the orange handled knives you used to use? They looked a lot less bulky than the wooden ones you use now. Could you walk us through the different knives, and why you changed /what you prefer ?
As you were trimming away I was thinking "what's he doing, there's nothing there" boy was I wrong!
3:20 good lord! She's got a lot of healing ahead of her, but she's already better than she was before she got in the crush.
Enjoying ya content in Nairobi Kenya very informative thumbs up bro
I am 73 years old never felt such respect for any other human being as I do for the work you do thank you for restoring. Y faith in humanity
Poor wee coo. ❤❤❤❤❤ thanks boys
Wow.....that was incredible
I didn't expect the problem to have tracked so far up the wall of her hoof!
To be a young man you have mastered your craft. Well done GP.

please show us the evolution of this case in the future
