My mental & physical health are absolutely terrible right now and I’ve been close to some very, very dark choices. These videos are quite literally my only solace some nights. So calming and interesting and I get fully absorbed in them. Thank you to the whole HGP family ♥️
Sending positive vibes and big hugs to you. Hoping you have a speedy recovery ❤️
Please know that despite how it might feel, things will be better if you keep putting one foot in front of the other, just hang on even if it is day by day or even minute by minute. I have been through dark times myself, often and even when I find myself struggling again, I don't regret that I managed to hang on. I'm proud that you are seeking things that help soothe yourself and I wish all the best for you.
Sending hugs, I’ve been there before. Just keep going one day, hour, second at a time. The sun will shine again, it will 💕
You're not alone. 🙏
I'm right there with you. Trying to get through each day, one hour at a time. We can get through this.
Ok I haven't had Dexters but I have had Australian Lowlines, another small breed of cow. And to stop them from having too much space in the crush I hang a car or motorbike tyre beside them in the crush depending on how big they are. Dexters are a bit smaller so you might need 2 one at the shoulder and one on the hip. I do this when AI-ing them. I hope you can use this Idea or modify it for little cattle in the future
I wanted to say something to you on a personal note and can't figure another way to send it.
I found your channel right after my mom died back in January and your videos are one of the few things I have had to lean on to hold on to my sanity through the grief.
I don't have cows or trim hooves but it is so interesting watching what you do and how much you care for the animals themselves. Your videos are such a welcome and wonderful distraction from what I am going through I just wanted to say how greatful I am for the bright spots that never fail to brighten my day some.
Thank you and bless you and your family in all you do.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it's hard. But keep talking to her... She's around and hears you. Granted, it's a one way conversation... Sometimes you just need to talk to your mom.
My condolences. It gets easier. I’m sure people keep telling you that, but it is true. It happens slowly, but every time you think of a happy memory it will shift from tears to a smile.
Sorry Mrs HGP - the shotgun passenger always has to get the gates - it’s an international law! 😂 The mini-cows are gorgeous. Love the one that hopped in the crush and hopped straight back out again. I guess we all know now where those tiny little milk sachets come from! 😂😂❤
Or the youngest…speaking from experience 🤣🤣🤣
Been there done that too!
My sister never had to ask me to get the gate, it’s just what the passenger/navigator does. She would comment on how she hoped that one day her husband would not have to be asked or reminded! 😅
[
@@auntdave180 OH NO! Never give them the car keys or the cheque book! (Make that Credit Card for the current gen metrosexuals! 😜🤣🤣
. 3:09 -- "Glad you came?", Answer, "No." Well, Ms. Hoof GP and Mom of his kids he loves to show off to us, I'm glad you came. Please come again.
. You make him smile bigger than ususal.
Too bad about that last heifer. I hope that the anti-inflammatories and maybe another round of antibiotics help her. Another great video Graeme, and it was wonderful to see Mrs. HP out with you!! Drive safe wherever the road takes you Graeme!! Love from a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖🇨🇦🇬🇧
I hope you're teaching. You are a living university.
@@SandraNelson063 Who me?? I do teach riding, and I train both Handlers and Dogs for Search and Rescue, I also train the Handlers on how to start an IV to administer fluids to rehydrate someone who has been lost for over 24 hours. I'm certified to do that. And therefore am able to certify them as well. I was a Paramedic for 37 years. Right now I'm training 2 young horses for riding with the owners riding them after I ride them first. So they get used to the owners hands on the reins, not only mine. But I teach the owners to use their seat and legs then hands to ride. I also, right now, have 5 mares in to me, for me to deliver their foals. The first one is due late December and and the last one is due around my father's birthday in April. So I'll be sleeping at the barn on an army cot in the tack room with a military grade winter sleeping bag. I'm there just in case there is a problem. I don't interfere with Mother Nature, but if the foal is large and mama is having trouble, I will glove up and go into the stall, and working with her contractions pull the foal, usually with chains placed very strategically on the foals legs so I don't hurt any tendons or ligaments in the foals legs. My S&R team of 8 in Banff are all ex-military personnel. They all suffer from PTSD. But to be around the horses, they've realized they have to be calm, as well as around their dogs. Especially on a Search. You want the dog focused on the game of "hide and seek", not worrying about his Handler. If the dog is only half focused on the Search and half focused on his owner/Handler, the dog becomes ineffective at doing its job of searching for the missing person. This team alone, my Banff team, rescued 12 people. I'm so proud of each and every one of them for the demons they have conquered. They told me at the start of training, that yes, they had PTSD, yes they had been Medically Discharged with Distinguished Service, but the Veteran Hospitals can only do so much. They all stated that they can't work, but wanted to contribute to society somehow. This was perfect for them. We're able to utilize the mapping skills they learned in the military and put it to good use in our search efforts. I also trained a team of 8 to work here in Ontario. They work Algonquin National Park. Again they use both dogs and horses. Horses when necessary, usually in the winter, as they can cover more ground faster. They too, are former military. They saved 16 souls this year, and brought one home for burial to his family. He suffered a major heart attack and had passed away long before my team reached him. The Coroner said he was dead before he hit the ground. When this happens, everything stops. We call in the authorities right away. After the scene had been cleared, the Coroner gave my team permission to bring the body out to the van where the family was waiting. They were so grateful to us. They gave us gift cards for meat, as we make our own dog food. We make it into a kibble and dehydrate it. This way we know what our dogs are eating. And it's not a lot if chemicals. I hope this answered your question about if I teach or not. A little long winded I know, please forgive me for that. Have a great evening and upcoming weekend!! Jenn 💖
@@jenniferlehman326 love what you and your team are doing. when one door closes, another opens.
@@ninirossau2304 Thank you. I appreciate the acknowledgement of all the hard work.
As a fellow Canadian, ( quebec here) I'm a dog groomer and am fascinated by s and r work!
The views were epic, the little cows were cute and it was nice seeing your beautiful wife. This was a good episode.
Those little cows are a very good idea for farms. They can be kept on less ground than Holsteins, give a surprising amount of milk, and while all calves are ridiculously cute, these are almost illegally cute.
I’m glad Mrs. GP is showing up again.
Having the support of a loved one means so much!!
I really respect how compassionate and caring you are for the animals you tend.
This is surgery in the mud 😳
@@pompom7x728 Not surgery. Hoof trimmers never cut into live tissue.
It's just a mani-pedi… 💅🏻
The smaller they are, the scrappier they are! Great job on dealing with these cattle, and I hope the vet can help that heifer. Mrs. GP, it's great to see you again.
Extra amazing nature footage today! 🌞👍🏻 Cute little cows! 😍
The Hoof GP has "Footage" everyday, that's his job.🤣 Get it.
@@vortexgen1 👍
I haven't watch since my husband died three months ago and this episode was the perfect one to return to your channel. I am in New Zealand and love people ,animals and Scotland. It's Spring here and seeing Ashley, the Autumn scenery and the little Dexters gave me great pleasure this morning.
That sweet little cow at 9:05 that didn't want to be done with her mani/pedi just won my heart!
New subscriber thanks to my Husbeast speaking so highly of your channel. Keep on taking great care of all those amazing animals!
Dinky wee coos!! Forest looking sensational in the autumn light - must be breathtaking in the winter with the snow!!! 💖💖
I thank you a million times for the beautiful panoramic views of the sky and the Galloway forest. Your Scotland looks like a place from fairytales. The scenic view from your vehicles and the drones are what kept me watching your videos.
I love the Dexter breed. Especially the mini ones.
Me too. They’re cute 🐂🥰‼️
If so small, what is their use with humans? Meaning pets, food, milk. etc...
@@jtb6737 they dual purpose breed for both beef and meat. Back in the day they were used as draught cattle as well. They considered the smallest breed of cattle
@@ABD5667 Any specific differences in taste in their milk or meat?
@@jtb6737 I just like them. Didn't know I had to qualify my reasons. That aside 😁 you actually asked a good question. And this is a good place to ask. I just like them. And I think if you have limited space they could work for a small homestead/farm. And easier to handle for newbies.
Your videos are a little calming moment of peace on those days that get a bit stressful. I've no clue how I stumbled on your channel, but I'm certainly glad I did! Thanks!
I agree it’s such a calming thing to watch.
sometimes youtube sends something weird and wonderfull our way, and we are all happy.
I'm glad Mrs. GP has started going with you
The more I see of the amazing views the more I want to live in Scotland 😊 Thank you for sharing this with us!
With those small cows I watched a documentary years ago about a lady trying to breed them so small so they can fit in houses. Was crazy. You did a amazing job as usual
What a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing with those of us who will probably never get there.
Those cows are so precious! I knew when that first one escaped this would be interesting!
Fun seeing Craigie run after the little runner 🐮
Cheers to Mrs. HGP 💖
Caught this right as you posted! So happy to see Mrs. HGP! Thanks for another wonderful video! Yay new customer! Dexter's are so so cute! Such small hooves! I love all of your content!
Dexter goes in & right out the front lol. She said nope 🤦♀️. You did a great job with these cows 🥰
I love the Dexter breed. So cool!! Very nice to see your wife go with you. She is beautiful inside and out! U R a lucky man!❤️❤️❤️
Oh my, what cute Dexters are. Bless them they were good cows considering what they had to go through. I hope the last cow gets better very soon. Being in pain is just the worst feeling ever.
Autumn is my favourite season, especially first thing in the morning. You get the mist, cold air, the beautiful leaves on the trees changing colour, and the spiders webs all over the grass and hedges that glisten in the morning.
You are so lucky where you live. You have the most beautiful countryside on your doorstop.
Loved this video, thank you.
The scenery is absolutely incredible!?I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland.
I’ve never met a Scotsman in Canada that didn’t pine for home; it’s because Scotland is so rugged and beautiful and it settles in to the marrow of your bones.
The first time I arrived in the countryside of Wiltshire England… I felt as though I was home; it’s was a remarkable feeling …it’s as though your soul suddenly awakens and remembers where your roots are, and where you are supposed to be.
There’s definitely a connection and attachment of a person’s soul to the lands they have been before, perhaps in other lifetimes. This cannot be denied; some people are dumb to this, and I don’t mean that in a derogatory sense , I mean that they’re just not as attuned to their soul as others or they are unwilling to accept what they’re feeling or have numbed themselves to paying attention to those innermost feelings, their intuition, their gut feelings because they think they’re nonsensical.
Oh my goodness they are the cutest little babies I have ever seen!! It’s like having a calf for all time. I am sorry you were unable to help that sweet girl. However, you were able to fix that one before it becomes bad! Great job!! Your momma’s best friend was so sweet. Love all you do! Nice to see you Ashley!
I want to have a huge yard and have two-----because cows have to have friends.
Oh my word!!! The pine trees in the forest you drove through were BEAUTIFUL!!! They are my favorite trees!! 🌲 You had quite a fun day with the little cows it seemed! It was so nice you were able to help the one cow with the toe neuchrosis…spelling is incorrect I’m sure!!! Your fun, silly attitude always makes me smile and giggle!! I Love watching The Hoof GP!!! Thank you for being a big part of my day and a person who puts a Big Smile on My Face EVERYDAY!! 😊😊
Necrosis is the correct spelling. You added a couple unnecessary letters. 😊
That is such a cute breed! Much as I am sure you love every farm you go to, it must be special when you get a chance to visit little ones like this.
Hope that the last one can get the appropriate treatment from the vet now. It might take a wash through to get rid of the pus? Fingers crossed for her, no matter what. Just as well you were there though, you saved that other cow a lot of future pain.
All the best to you and the family. Mrs HGP has definitely got the measure of you though - that was hilarious when she started riding on the trailer! She rocks! (And yes, please tell her I said so :D)
I have a suggestion that may help with the fit of the small cows. You can add air bags on both side to give the little heifers a hug and they won’t roll over.
Those snips are identical to the ones my father used. It's nice to see your better half and wee dog too. Didn't mean to leave Craig out but we see him nearly as often as yourself.
But his face isn't stuck in front of the camera as much.
if you ever get over here to the states would love to show you Colorado. I had planned on going into cattle production but due to illness and accident had to regroup, thus love watching a young man do what he loves.
Oh, I love this video! I like seeing the different breeds, and I absolutely adore seeing the dainty little Dexters. And the drone views are spectacular. Thanks so much for this one!
It's lovely to see an old property kept up so well. Hello, Mrs GP.
Those cow and their farmer are precious! Thank you for sharing with us.
Just a magical place. It is calming and so interesting. I had no idea these tiny cow's existed. I'm always impressed how you put the cow's safety and well-being first.
What a stunning landscape. And such cute diddy little cows. I didn't know they could be that small.
This is how they fill half pint size milk cartons.
@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 😅😂😅😂😅😂
Just Gorgeous the scenery and the 🐮 cows, great to see Mrs HGP too! Really enjoy your work and videos💗
It's good to see your wife out with you love the videos keep them coming
Dexters!!!! THATS where sliders come from!!!!!
Thanks for sharing these adorable lil beauties!
I love dexters!!!! We have 18 now. They are so sweat and friendly.
Thank you for sharing the scenery of Scotland. I’ll never travel there but through videos such as yours I can dream of it. I love how you care for the animals you trim. Your love for them really shows.
Lord ! The scenery is gorgeous !! As I told in a previous comment I'm French and I never visited Scotland but this landscape really tempts me !! Besides, I am a nurse so I am not used to cows but a friend of mines is a farmer so I see cows whenever I visit him (he lives far away). But I did not know that there were so tiny wee cows !! How lovely they are :) Thanks mates to make us discover your country and those nice "ladies" ! :)
What a beautiful fall day in Scotland…we’ve had an equally exquisite day in Tennessee, US.
Do not have a clue how you landed in my feed, but have so enjoyed learning about hoofs and how to read and treat them….thank you for explaining about what and how you do it. 👍🏻😁
What a beautiful Episode!!! Didn't know that such small cattle exists 🥰
I knew about minature cattle, but didn't know they were *this* small!
Hi Graeme and Mrs. HGP and Craigie Boy !!! Teeny Tiny MOO COWS - How cute are they ??? It is a beautiful land you live in for sure.
Lovely countryside, lovely cows, lovely video! Hi Ashley! Nice to see you.
I love the care you give your cattle clientele. I have been watching your channel for quite awhile now and have noticed the blocks you use. I was wondering how many different kinds of blocks you use, what they are made of and how long they last. Is it possible for you, Graeme, to maybe do a segment on the blocks? If possible that is.
Love watching your shows they are very informative and shows the care you feel for the cattle you work with. Thank you for your insight. Appreciate all you do from here in Ontario, Canada.
Thanks Graeme, beautiful little Dexters! Stunning scenery! ❤️🇦🇺🏴
GP, I lived in Lumphanan for 10 years and taught in Aberdeen- folks could not believe I drove to work and back every day- but I drove through Banchory or Tornaveen and along the Dee ot through woods and farmland- every day was different light and colours and It was a fabulous wind up or down. Back in Oz after 20 years away and so much beauty in the landscape- I appreciate the beauty and nature in all forms but such fond memories of Scotland through the seasons. Also Aberdeen angus back ground. Thanks
I am so happy I found your video's. I love the country scenery and your accent and how wonderfully you treat the cows. Keep up the great job and thanks for what you do.
That was quite the delight to see those little dexters. Makes a nice change of pace. Shame about the poor girl with the infected ankle. Hopefully some antibiotics will help.
What beautiful cattle! And the forest in Autumn is absolutely magical with shrubbery giving a magnificent counterpoint of colors. You and your family are blessed being able to live in that part of Scotland.
As for the crush being too big, maybe you should design a crush especially for the mini breeds?
Or just an accessory.....a couple belly straps might keep her on her toes...err the little cows.
Cute little dexters!
Wow, your Galway forest is so much like Newfoundland...this time of year our dawns are so bright and colourful too. Just gorgeous! Glad to see your lovely wife with you today. Dexters are such cute little bovines! Teeny little hoofs!
Such a beautiful place where you live! Each new drone shot is more beautiful than the last. The farm itself seems as if it’s being hugged by the nearby hills and, as you take in the view, you can literally feel the stress melt away! That says a LOT given I live in Washington, USA about 1-1/2 hours away from the Pacific Ocean. If you’ve seen the movie “Twilight,” than you know we have serious pine forests! We also have amazing, blue lakes, fruit orchards, wine tasting and cows!!
When we holidayed in Girvan, we always took the long route through the Galloway forest from Gretna and back, it took hours, but we were always rewarded with the fantastic scenery.
Always enjoy watching. I found mounting or suspending an old rubber tire (trye) in my races for smaller or shorter animals helped.
My daddy always said when you first do something and you want to be an expert. You start by hand or from the ground up... bless his soul he's been gone for 2 years now and every time I start something new I start by using my hands and then build knowledge... I love this channel thanks for creating this channel for us!
So nice to see Mrs. GP again. Those are really cute cows. A friend that breeds miniature horses wants to get some little cows & train the horses as cutting horses. I think that'd be great!😁
Tell Linda that her little cows are so cute
I smiled when you mentioned the heather in the fields. One of my favorite things about my time in Scotland was learning about Heathergems and going to their factory in pitlochery
Love watching you. No matter what. Wish I lived there. It’s so beautiful. My Father was Irish. Idk if Irish & Scots still don’t like each other. But I feel fortunate to be part one of them. Idk why his parents came over to US. They all died before or shortly after I was born. So sad. Your work might be hard. I can’t imagine. But it’s good honest work. Not like so many these days. You obviously like it. Save so many creatures from pain. Bless you for it all! 😍
The only time the Irish and Scots don't like each other, is on the sporting field, and the second the game is over, there friends again.
They're adorable little cows. Thanks for sharing Graeme. 🙂❤️
God Bless Scotland - her beauty and majesty...God Bless Western Europe and America, their fertile farmland and beloved creatures...may these things we love most, be protected from anything meant to take them from us.
The Dexters are adorable! It’s a shame you couldn’t do anything for the last cow and hopefully the vet can sort her.
Another awesome drone intro! Love them as much as the rest of the video. 😊
MRS HGP IM HAPPY YOUR HERE FOR THE RIDE TODAY!!!
This has to be in the top three of my Hoof GP video favorites--I'm sorry that Dexters don't need much hoof trimming meaning you don't think you'll be returning. Those cows are adorable escape artists trying to dodge the crush (comic relief) and the countryside is beautiful. The one cow who didn't want to leave the crush seems to have enjoyed her spa visit! And I hope that the last cow can be helped with antibiotics and whatever else can break down the pus in her ankle so it can be drained. Thanks for a great video--one of your best!
Fantastic place !! The color saturation gives a feeling of a BBC nature documentary. Shooting with the drone also makes GP's hooves fly
Good job !!!
My mom used to try to talk me into keeping a Dexter in my garage. Glad she didn't succeed, cause I didn't know anything about cows feet back then. I can't imagine the constant standing on concrete would've been good. So glad to see you taking care of those smaller feet just as expertly as usual. Keep up the good work, and good to see Mrs GP out there with you.
At last the boss gets to see what you get up to 😂
ANd the aerial photography of your landscape is just breathtaking!
Really enjoyed this video. Different from usual and the wee cows are darling!💕
So great the wife can come along for work, and a beautiful drive through the country
It’s always amazing to see you including the family in the videos thanks for all you do
I don't know how I ever started watching your channel but I'm glad I do!!! The countryside, the animals, or just being around the farm soothes me. So thank you very much! Mesa Arizona
You should see New England USA in the autumn. We're having a gorgeous one this year. Nice to see you Mrs GP ! Such cute tiny little hooves....😊 too bad about that one heifer...hope the vet can help her out
Graeme, you lucked out catching such a pretty lass to be your loving wife , help mate and the mother of your beautiful children and has such a gorgeous smile.
Mrs. HGP also lucked out in attracting such an honourable , kind , good looking man, who’s a hardworking, innovative , loving husband and father… and a good provider too....….Even if his hair gets unruly as it grows‼️ But, eh, that’s what hats are for…yes?
❤🇨🇦
Your my favorite hoof trimming channel. Along with your sense of humor you provide STUNNINGLY beautiful scenery! The music in the background is Also great. Very relaxing to watch at night winding down. Thank you so much for your time in making your content 😊
Hi Graeme and Mrs GP...So good to see you Both. I love how you treat all the animals that are in your care. Its nice you teach us about the different types of cows 🐄 so sorry you couldn't help this little cow. God Bless you LuvYa! Bye from NE Ohio USA🇺🇸
Safe to say. This job can get pretty crappy at times 🤣 Rock on Sir GP and Team 🤘😎
You can tell your Scottish because you are looking forward to Winter! I’m in Australian and can’t wait for Summer!!!! ❤
You’ve been taking care of some interesting animals lately. Hope to see other exotic bovids, like bison and Indian cattle!
The people from whom I purchased my farm were Dexter breeders. They used them for beef. I think it’s awesome that they are dual purpose cattle. They were about 2/3rds the size of most regular cows and about 1/2 the size of angus.
I absolutely love these cows
Dexters are my absolute favorites. My old girl was the ring bearer at my wedding. She was the absolute best friend I ever had.
Aww it’s a mooniature cow lol 😆
As someone who has lived with Dexters for almost 20 yrs, I couldn't help but laugh when watching three people try to put one cow in the crush. These cows might be small, but they are feisty and have a mind of their own when it comes to what you ask them to do.
It's like that with many smaller breeds ain't it, know when I worked with horses we had more issues and attitude from the Shetlands than the shire horses 🤣
You have your own model opening doors for you. You are blessed Graham
Suggestion. To make the sides of the Crush narrower, try a 6 inch (or more) FIRM Foam Pad, and Tape it to the sides with GOOD tape. That should be a simple 'fix' for those small cows. =)
I love this supportive little community! You’re doing great work Graeme… and not just for the cows!! Great to see the Mrs, love to you all 🥰
Glad to see Mrs. HGP along.
Dexters are so cute I actually had a moment of thinking to myself, "Do I want cows?" I'll just keep living vicariously through you, thanks for another great video!
I had forgotten how beautiful it is driving into San Francisco when you're on the Bay Bridge until I went to a show in the city and it echoes how you said we don't notice the beauty around us. Seeing the sail boats made me long to be on one of them in the future.
Oh my god, I love these tiny little cows 😍 cute. Hopefully the last cow is better now.
Landscape, wow,...stunning. I realise, that I have to travel around Scotland 😁
Greetings from Germany
Such beautiful scenery.
Absolutely gorgeous countryside! Hoping the last cow can get the help she needs!
We went to a party a few years ago and the hosts had what we call in the US and Canada a "hobby farm" They had a medium sized veg garden, some fruit trees and berry vines and 4 Dexters! They were indeed smaller than these kids but also that deep dark chocolate color and total flirts! I fell in love and didn't spend much time at the actual party because I couldn't get enough with those little cows. Just outside their pen their owners left a small bucket of some dried corn coated in molasses. They told us we could give each of the cows small handfuls to nibble on. I did that, of course, and afterward they each "rewarded" me with soft licks and a little suckling. I was thrilled to see you tend to those Dexters on this episodes. Thanks for reminding me of that warm, sweet summer evening, 🥰
