    I have a cat named Hardy-Gracie. She was bone with a cleft palate and a suffered an injury sometime later that fused her jaw. She has issues with her teeth - a very small jaw with adult-sized sharp teeth - which have injured her tongue, plus the teeth are decaying because food stays lodged between them.
    Long story short, when I see your Gracie, I think of my little gray cat and compare how much they both have gone through but are still here. I give credit for Hardy's success to my wonderful country vet who never gives up, even when the "specialist" vets wouldn't touch Hardy. And Gracie there has you, watching over her hooves and giving her the best life she can. It's professionals like you and him, inventive and caring and intelligent and compassionate, who make the difference, both in cows and cats. The world is a better place because of you.

    Thank the farmer for not giving up on Gracie. It shows how much they care to go through so many treatments . She is blessed to have you helping her. Yes it is wonderful to watch you work your magic and heal these bulls and cows. Stay safe and god bless .

      Ive grown up bailing hay and helping row crop farmers in Ohio i also worked on a hog farm and i felt bad for a few pigs cause the farm manager didnt care. But ive always felt i had a little cowboy in me but i here rodeo idiots say you aint a cowboy if you cant rope and ride but ive never had that chance however im a welder and i chase the work like a cowboy. So what do you think about that?

    I had no idea dairy cows had such short productive lives.😕🐄
    Graeme your mentioned that they are usually done by 5 yrs of age. And yet Gracie was 8 in this video.
    Hopefully she kept having a good life. 🐄🙏❤️

    • @reginaschellhaas1395
      @reginaschellhaas1395 Год назад +8

      Neither did I! I think Gracie's long life is a testament to the farmer's good husbandry. When she became sick, he worked with the Vet and Graeme (especially) to make her comfortable and return her to good health.
      In a previous video, Graeme emphasized that, out of 300 some cattle, Gracie was the only one with true "problems". We can see the expensive investment in infrastructure at the farm, obviously these cattle are very valuable & well cared for and kindly treated.
      The herd is providing portions of livelihood to locals like Graeme & Craig, as well as the farm family and workers. Plus their delicious, nutritional milk! They deserve to be well treated and I am thankful for the good owners and for Graeme!

    • @pinkcupcake4717
      @pinkcupcake4717 3 месяца назад +1

      One of the farms Graeme's worked with (Tom Pemberton in specific) has one cow who was 15, had given birth to 11 calves in her lifetime. Old girl, but still healthy and having healthy babies. Tom mentioned he intentionally was breeding her so his herd would be longer lived instead of cycling through every few years.

    I’m always amazed by how high the pain tolerance is in cows. My horse had the tiniest of abces in her hoof and she was acting like she broke her leg and refused to put any weight on it. I can’t believe these cows are still walking with these huge abscesses or half their hoof missing.

    I don’t even know how I stumbled across this page but I’ve been watching for months. And I can’t tell you how much it heals my heart knowing that farmers care so much for their cows. I feel like it would be so easy to just put her down and dodge the GP costs. Gracie is obviously a lovely cow and her farmer values her enough to keep her healthy and comfortable. Thank you for what you do, GP!

    I'm not sure if this was a first viewing , or a repeat viewing, but, either way, it still moved me to tears. Firstly, for the plight of Gracie, but, secondly, with hope, and joy, that she appeared to be improving. Certainly her walking was much improved! It must be really gratifying, and satisfying, to see the improvement!

When my children were little, they used to call me "Mommy MacLeod of the clan MacLeod"...meaning we liked to think we're related to the fictional Highlander! No mea culpa's required.
