Agreed. It's actually a completely different view of these big boys. We always direct our thinking to the dangerous possible murdering beasts, when referencing the "Bull" to see a different side of being a docile and grateful animal, being taken care of in this video.
I would imagine they’re handled more than beef cattle here in the states? I mean I live in a rural area but don’t have cattle. I know there’s a lot of artificial insemination that goes on around here... I remember once I was dumping some mulch at a client’s farm, got my truck stuck and had to walk up through the field. There were three bulls in the field and one was walking in front of me. I kept to his right so he could see me but I was still behind him. I got a lot of dirty looks from him... and got out of the field in one piece!
Just look at their eyes! They are so kind, soft and scared (especially the big red-haired boy!).Thank you for making their life easier and more enjoyable. You are a real hero!
I LOVE how you made it clear that it’s not the farmers fault that the second bull got so bad. You stressed he didn’t have a way of doing it nor did the local vet- and you made it clear he’s been trying to get you out there for quite a bit, too. Thank you for standing up for a good farmer and quality client. You’re (plural “you” as you’re not a one man show) good people.
I feel it is if the farmer fault had paid attention to its cattle feet they wouldn't of got so bad we can 1000 head of cattle and ours never got like the ones he does
Those are agood idea. Think of what they would do to the equipment like barb wire fences by trying to scratch on them and what the fence would do to them and cause infection and vet bills.
I love how you defended the Farmer so others would know that these Big Boys aren't neglected. This was so very interesting to watch. I grew up around cattle and I still learned something new. Thank you ☺️
Agreed! They are big, biiiiig boys. A tiny problem could easily become not so tiny with all that weight on a relatively small point. Even with the farmer doing everything he can, this stuff just happens sometimes!!
My goodness! How things have changed since the 80s and 90s. That chute is incredible. We had a chute but it didn't have hydraulics. We had to lasso the foot and tie it up. Then use hand-powered hoof trimmers and knives. Nothing fancy there. I sure do miss working with large animals. It's sheep and chickens here on the farm now. It's was enjoyable watching your video.
I'm amazed at how many flock to these videos within minutes of them being published. This time it was 794 views in the first 5 mins. You have a very dedicated following! (I came for the hand by the big claw thumbnail.)
The Hoof GP is a Super Star! Watch some of his other videos, it is easy to see that he really cares for these animals. I watch every video and I’ve learned so much, and I raised cattle for years.
Total boss moment sticking his fingers under the flap at 6:45 and knowing what it is he is pulling out without flinching or anything. Shows complete love and dedication to the career he is doing cause this is clearly not a job for him but a career. A career he is excellent at along with Craig. Y’all make an awesome team🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 P.S. It’s hilarious to hear Graham trying to almost hurry the bull along and the bull just plods along like he has all the time in the world, lol
I appreciate you telling us that "this" is normal on the 2nd bull, mentioning lock down, and that the farmer had been trying to get a hold of you. I'm sure a lot of people were thinking bad thoughts about Tom. I hadn't thought about farriers and hoof trimmers during lock down. I'm sure a lot of you have larger than normal jobs, trying to get caught up. Good luck to you
I had a pair of old hiking boots that were relegated to using at a friend's barn when I needed to help. Didn't realize the sole of one had delaminated at the heel, almost to the middle. Whew! The smell! I had to put them on the roof of my van.. on arriving home I discovered the space was filled up with much the same gunk that was getting jammed into that poor bull's claw. ..
I'm sure it was a great relief to the bull. Graeme did an amazing job fixing that. He could probably get a Rhino in there. Bulls that size I've only ever seen worked on sedated and 4 point tied. Amazing.
I know these creatures are massive, but I keep finding myself saying, "Poor Baby", and honestly I'm just glad you help them find some healing and relief.
What a difference in the first bull when he walked out the crush! I have to admit i was wincing watching the mud coming out and you having to get your fingers in there. Thank you for being there to make it better for them
It's your attention to detail, explaining the details, and of course, your obvious love and attention to these animals, that makes me a big fan of you and your company. You truly do a great service.
@@phyllismoore8983 i love it. I use it all the time. It's like when something is too big for "chunky" or "chubby" but is too cute for "fat". So you get "chonky"!
Absolutely love your show. Been following you a while now. I am 65 and I live in Canada east coast. I am from a Scottish community where we have our own unique culture and we closely associate with Scotland. I lived on our family farm for 16 years and we had 3 dairy and 15 beef. All four r our own use. None of our cows EVER had hoof trouble. I guess we were lucky. But you are so comfortable around the cows you treat like we were growing up. Our cows were more like family than animals. The kids often played in the cows manger and around their feet and never got hurt. You bring back good memories. Thank you.
That first bull was already walking tons better! The second bull, as someone who suffers badly from dermatitis to the point it cracks and bleeds, I feel his pain, poor boy. They're both stunning, and especially when the second bull went to his scratching toy thing, adorable!
I've watched a LOT of your videos. These 2 bulls are in the best body condition of any bull I've seen on your videos. Hats off to the farmer for his bull management skills. I also notice how clean all of the alleys and stalls were, too. I would have loved to see the cow herd. I'd bet that they are all in good shape, too.
I have a soft spot for Hereford bulls. He reminds me of Toffee, the fella at the neighbouring farm when I was a kid. He was a gentle giant, I'd sit on him and cuddle his huge neck lol 😍
It must be so frustrating for these farmers who can't treat these big boys when they desperately want to. I'm so glad you now have this Beast Holder as it just makes light and safe work of them. I love how you teach us all the time Graeme
Thank you for clearing up issues people may have about responsibility for the shape of the cows' and bulls' hooves....you are a stand up guy, you have good customers and deep affiliations that benefit both sides of the transaction. Thank you for caring so much about the quality of the job you guys do, the comfort of the animals and for having a witty, positive attitude throughout it all. I so enjoy your videos....keep up the GREAT work!
Seeing the Hereford loving the yellow brush almost brought me to tears! I recently found your utube and immediately subscribed! I love your compassion for the animals in your care! (love from a 72 yo Brit in Washington State, USA....and I just purchased one of your hoodies! I just got notice it's on its way! Yeah!)
Oh my gosh..those bulls are HUGE! But seem so calm and relaxed with you both. So glad that you could make them comfortable. Loved how the Hereford bull had to stop at the scratcher..😄
Both of the bulls were obviously in extreme pain. They must love to see you went you visit. You are their angel. One who heals and cares for them Thank you...Moo!!!
I love watching you work. I was raised spending time on my Grandparents farm in Southern Ohio in the states. My Grandfather and Uncles would have been amazed at what you do. My Grandfather would always have the local blacksmith come in and take care of the cows and horses. Also those were two handsome bulls. Great job.
Those are 2 of the most beautiful bulls that I have seen. You did a smashing job fixing their hoofs. That farmer was smart by having you come do them. The farmers around where you operate should be glad that they have you.
Bahahahahahahahahaha haha. I instantly burst out laughing when ol’ mate Hereford firstly was taking his sweet old time to walk to the crush then stopped for a scratch along the way! 🐮🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Both Bull's had a dodgy looking hoof that looked so much better after seeing the Hoof GP. They looked so much happier afterwards too. Keep up the great work Doc!!!
I thoroughly enjoy the relationship you have with Craig. It’s a rare and valuable thing, having a friend that you can work with day after day, trust me. And being married in family means it will always be there. Don’t take it as a given. Finding one in a lifetime is a feat few accomplish.
Two observations:. 1. If the farmer hadn't been worried about his animals care you STILL wouldn't have been there, and 2. Holy cow no wonder the Angus bull didn't want to get up!!
Yes, poor boy. I winced when he slipped in the muck and obviously put too much weight suddenly on that terrible front foot. I hope Graham will show us how they are both improving. Love your work Graham!
@@ew9137 There are some things that are best done without gloves. Gloves remove the sensitivity from your fingers, which could lead to you not being able to tell the difference between flesh and muck.
E W my guy I work at a dairy farm and you go home covered in shit every night. It’s unavoidable even if he did wear gloves, he probably got it everywhere else from the grinding...
Having been to mates diary farm i bet the overwhelming smell of cow pooh makes it barely noticable. Diary farming is a smelly business, but man I love my milk, cream and cheese.
I've been watching your videos for about a year or so now and I will say that if I was younger I could see a career change for me. I love all animals and not afraid of hard work or long hours if it means I could help eve just one animal feel better. Thank you for your videos and keep them coming Hello from Manitoba Canada Cheers
cant believe you've got me saying out loud "that bull is going to need some paste and a rap get the block on now if i was you" your turning me into a trimmer
I do the same thing! I try to beat Graeme to it and figure out what the animal needs before he says it. I must admit tho, they are always worse than I imagine and Graeme always seems so nonplussed by it. The more he cut away, the more I was like...Oooo, this is gonna be rough.
@@fairwitness7473 a trimmer will see a lot in their time that means something the rest of us will cringe at, they will just see as fairly easy to deal with. It wont have been anything new he has never seen before, probably deals with a few a year. I'd probably be terrified if it were my bull but GP can sort it 😀 I am like that with horses having been a rehab place for rescues for years (before going back to farming). Nothing surprised me. Nothing was new.
When I was little, we had a bunch of herefords. The bull was very gentle. It would drive my mom nuts when I would go over the the wall (concrete wall where the ground I was standing on was at the top of the wall and he was down below) and feed the bull tree leaves. It got to when he saw me come near that area, he would come walking over. I'm sure that his head weighed more than my whole body.
I am a city girl 100% but for some reason watching this and sandi Brock bring me so much calm, joy and love. Some times I have no idea what I'm watching and have soooo many questions but all the same, thank you for sharing. BTW the music in this one was amazing. ❤❤❤❤
@@jen43072 Tom Pemberton lives a bit far away for Graham to pop down, and Tom P would have been in the videos. A lot of farms have those brushes. They are great. Cows love a good scratch.
In these uncertain times it is a pleasure to relax and enjoy what you do. Your compassion and professionalism are the perfect balance for this job. Thank you for being a light in my life. Stay strong and much respect from Nova Scotia,Canada
This video is 100% why I donated for your new crush. I am so glad you are able to help these big boys. They need love too. Keep up the great work guys, send my love from Texas.
My great uncle tried to keep us out of the pasture with warnings that the bull would get us. It was a young Hereford, about half the size of the boy in this video. But he wasn't the true terror of the fields; the six fat, white geese were. Only took six year old me getting knocked down and battered by those vicious bastards once, and I never went through the fence into the pasture again. If the geese were out on the lawn when we went to visit that farm, I wouldn't even get out of the car lol.
@@alikatyeg3295 viscous geese... Loved the story, had me laughing so hard while in bed I woke the wife up. LoL And yes,I agree. They are viscous bastards. They batter you with those knobs on their wings. It hurts! ;-)
@@alikatyeg3295 I relate, I got attacked by chickens when I was about 2 years old - they were bloody vicious and used to chase the cars out of the car park and try to get the tyres 😂 ironically though I wasn't scared of the chickens, it was the massive (harmless) pig that lived there and used to screech at everything 😖
@CathyB So very true! On my uncles farm it was my job to feed the calves first (by hand, none of these fancy machines) the bulls pen was behind the calves pens. He was always snorting and huffing around. Us kids were under strict orders to stay away. Of course we had to sneak a peek! Man was that guy HUGE and VERY ANGRY 😤. My Uncle would wait to move him until he had enough men around to re-pen him (this often involved at least 2 tractors in the out fields - which he put a few dents in over the years. 2 bobcats in the barn to finish getting him where he’d need to be). Us kids had a front row seat from the hayloft!
Those poor boys!!! I’m so glad the black night was there to comfortably handle them. The way they were walking afterwards was proof enough that the job you do is extraordinary. I literally cringed when I saw the open flap of horn and the muck underneath it. They are now on the road to recovery. I’d love to see more bull trimming. I love seeing the different breeds as well. So interesting Graeme!!! 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄✨💜
I wonder if that's how my husband and sin feel after I cut their hair...clippers guide and go for it! but I haven't screwed up too bad yet so must be ok!
I have fallen in Love with a Big Bull that is kept in a paddock up the road and visit him most days just to sing to him, feed a few carrots and talk with him and yes when he has had enough he goes about his day. I have noticed his front hooves need some attention desperately but I am not to sure who owns him or how to get the help for those cracked hooves. 😔 I have grown so fond of him and I wish there was someone like you here to help. Great Job on fixing both Big Boys and there issues, you are fantastic. 😊👍🏼❤️
I appreciate all the knowledge and lingo I'm picking up - because you said that you don't want to take the inner claw in along with the outer claw and my brain immediately went - ah yes, because you don't want the sole too thin for the bull since they're heavier than the cows and you don't want to cause issues just for cosmetic trimming I have never stepped foot on a farm in my life and I'm over here going, ah yes I understand exactly the rational behind this move
I love how you are sooo supportive of the farmers!!! Here in Wyoming in the USA we are constantly trying to get people to understand we love and do the best by our livestock!! It is a constant battle!!
It's pretty troubling that you have to spend time trying to get people to understand that! They are your livelihood after all! That would be like trying to get people to understand that as a house painter, you're painting a house in a way that'll make it look the best for the longest time! Should be common sense! Unfortunately common sense is rather lacking these days! People just love to throw their 2 cents into things they know nothing about!
That's because can't fix ignorance an they have no idea where . Most everything we eat comes from .it comes from some sort of farm .. that raise food or dairy. All farmers love an respect there animals . 99 percent do
When this popped up in my recommendations, i was like wtf is this doing here. So i checked it out. Started watching it and was like hmmm.... this is actually pretty interesting. The longer i watched, the more satisfying and intriguing it became. I think u just got a new subscriber my friend lol
Hi Graeme, I absolutely love that you never shamed the farmer for the condition of these two beautiful bulls. You explained to us why the farmer can’t care for their hooves. You had mentioned on the first one that you kept one of his feet up so he wouldn’t thrash around while working on the others. When you video’d the bulls face while you were trimming him, he looked very calm and as if he knew you weren’t there to hurt him but to help me. They both looked that way actually. I am not a farmer but an animal lover and I enjoy learning. I love watching you and seeing the love you have for doing your job! Thank you!!
I have no idea what cow's hooves are made out of. It looks like most of it is harder like human fingernails. But what is that flap the Hoof GP lifted up made of? Is it softer like cuticle around human fingernails? Must be very uncomfortable to have dirt and stuff packed in there.
@@rhondie4ever it looked like it was over grown hoof and he some how managed to get all that debris up in a crack. At first I thought it was maggots coming out till he pulled out all the cow shit n straw. Definitely see why there was infection!
@@rhondie4ever The flap is made of keratin just like the hard parts of the hoof. It becomes soft when it stays wet because of an infection or flooring that stays wet. Just like fingernails get softer after you've kept them in water for 20 minutes or longer. And when there is an infection the layer of hoof doesn't only get soft but also separates from the layers above it, so it becomes a flap.
Greetings again from the Cascade Mountains, Oregon USA. Just wanted to say I enjoyed watching you work with the bulls, particularly the Hereford. Our Hereford bull Curley (that I sneaked mollasses candy to on a regular basis as a kid) looked just like him. It put a smile on my face remembering. :D
I would guess it’s people who don’t really know what they are looking at and they dislike it just because it looks gross. Or it’s the crazy over the top animal activists who are against Industrial farming as a whole.
Idk why RUclips recommended this to me? Lol but I find it interesting! I grew up on a Pig Farm and we sold it when I was 5. I'm 44 now. So this is awesome..its like a pedicure for Bulls lol..Greetings from the USA (Middletown Delaware) I subscribed and can't wait to see more.
The number of folks that swing through here with exactly this comment on every video is hilarious. I, too, found my way here because YT was like "here, have something odd." Almost a year later, I'm still here. Welcome!
@@shadowsbane877 honestly that happened to me but it was on Facebook that I got these vids recommended out of nowhere, so I followed to RUclips and subbed XD
I know the bulls wouldn't let me, but the whole time I wanted to give them a hug & tell them it was all going to be ok because SUPER Graeme was here to fix it & make it all better!🖤🐂🐃🤎 Thank You Graeme
Many bulls enjoy a hug! A beef farmer friend is often found in the summer asleep in the field, next to the bull who is also asleep in the field. Some of them are lovely, friendly creatures. You still give them the respect their size deserves because they dont know how strong they are compared to the human body.
You might be surprised at just how affectionate many of those huge Bulls are :) Mine loves his Mum and is a massive beast that can lick my skin off if I let him.
So nice to see that the boys can count on you to make them pretty too, and the crush the farmer has would of never of held one of those boys legs never mind the rest of them. Thanks for a wonderful way to start the weekend. Craig time for your haircut too. Cheers from Alberta.
Our podiatrist LOVES your channel! The hubby has a 1" diabetic ulcer on his inner left heel. Our Podiatrist put iodine paste & elastic wrap on the ulcer when we came in for a bandage change, so for giggles I showed him one of your iodine paste videos. You have a new fan here in Arizona! Cheers!
I love watching you work, strangely enough watching yr vids help me relax and wind down after a stressful day lol. What a great and caring job you do. Brilliant 👌
When that big fella stopped for a scratch I smiled so much. Just a big softie ^_^
Agreed. It's actually a completely different view of these big boys. We always direct our thinking to the dangerous possible murdering beasts, when referencing the "Bull" to see a different side of being a docile and grateful animal, being taken care of in this video.

The immediate improvement in the first bulls walking was so lovely to see.
That is exactly why i watch these videos. To see the instant relief from pain. You know the bulls are walking away saying 'thank you so much'
Poor bully. No wonder he was in such pain.
I went from being intimidated by the Hereford’s size to smitten by him when he started rubbing his head on the brush. 🥺
Most cattle are pretty docile. I was lucky enough to have grown up with farm animals. They were all my babies lol ❤
Awh when he stopped for a head itch 🥺♥️
That was so sweet when the second bull went to his little scratchy massage thing haha
Those are agood idea. Think of what they would do to the equipment like barb wire fences by trying to scratch on them and what the fence would do to them and cause infection and vet bills.
Do you prefer trimming cows or bulls?
I loved that part hehe
The second bull is my favorite. Really beautiful and love love love when he stopped just to get a scratch.
I love both Angus and Herefords, great breeds.
The black bull was so chilled considering how sore that back foot must have been. Please can we see follow up.

They must love to see you went you visit.
You are their angel. One who heals and cares for them
Thank you...Moo!!!
Having your hand next to his hoof was amazing! I knew bulls were big but dang, that hoof is humongous.
I love watching you work. I was raised spending time on my Grandparents farm in Southern Ohio in the states. My Grandfather and Uncles would have been amazed at what you do. My Grandfather would always have the local blacksmith come in and take care of the cows and horses. Also those were two handsome bulls. Great job.
Those are 2 of the most beautiful bulls that I have seen. You did a smashing job fixing their hoofs. That farmer was smart by having you come do them. The farmers around where you operate should be glad that they have you.
Ok I dont know why but the bulls are my favorite to watch...so massive...great job from San Diego!
I appreciate you man. You're giving these animals miracles. Keep doing what you're doing man and don't ever change. 👏
Bahahahahahahahahaha haha. I instantly burst out laughing when ol’ mate Hereford firstly was taking his sweet old time to walk to the crush then stopped for a scratch along the way! 🐮🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Both Bull's had a dodgy looking hoof that looked so much better after seeing the Hoof GP. They looked so much happier afterwards too. Keep up the great work Doc!!!
Hopefully, they will get looked at by the hg on regular basis now 👍🏼😀
I thoroughly enjoy the relationship you have with Craig. It’s a rare and valuable thing, having a friend that you can work with day after day, trust me. And being married in family means it will always be there.
Don’t take it as a given. Finding one in a lifetime is a feat few accomplish.
The Herefords Face looks so innocent He's like "Whats Going On?"
Two observations:. 1. If the farmer hadn't been worried about his animals care you STILL wouldn't have been there, and 2. Holy cow no wonder the Angus bull didn't want to get up!!
Yes, poor boy. I winced when he slipped in the muck and obviously put too much weight suddenly on that terrible front foot. I hope Graham will show us how they are both improving. Love your work Graham!
Atleast it wasn’t a sleeping big cat that he poked...
Number 3, Bro wear F’ing gloves 🧤. Spreading all that crap everywhere 🤮
@@ew9137 There are some things that are best done without gloves. Gloves remove the sensitivity from your fingers, which could lead to you not being able to tell the difference between flesh and muck.
E W my guy I work at a dairy farm and you go home covered in shit every night. It’s unavoidable even if he did wear gloves, he probably got it everywhere else from the grinding...
You do a great service to these bulls. Truly a compassionate act. ❤
I hope I'm not the only one that says aloud "WEEEEEE" when the cows/bulls ride up and down in the crush. As always thanks for the videos.
I felt so sorry for that black bull that I just want to wrap my arms around his neck and hold him while you made things better. Poor baby.
Your cheerful, upbeat demeanor is spirit lifting! The world needs that so, thank you!!
“ hey Bessie looking good.”
“oh thanks I just got my hooves done.”
Lol
Lame
Lololol
But it’s not Bessie there’s no missing #2 is Burt or on #1 for that’s matter
Im glad there is no "smell-a-vision" for once.. I can only imagine what the muck coming out from under the loose horn smelt like..
Having been to mates diary farm i bet the overwhelming smell of cow pooh makes it barely noticable. Diary farming is a smelly business, but man I love my milk, cream and cheese.
I don't understand how he's willing to drink/ eat with such a terrible smell.
@Deez Nuts i lived in exeter for a while with the render plant right next to the city centre. you always knew which way the wind was blowing.
I've been watching your videos for about a year or so now and I will say that if I was younger I could see a career change for me.
I love all animals and not afraid of hard work or long hours if it means I could help eve just one animal feel better.
Thank you for your videos and keep them coming
Hello from Manitoba Canada
Cheers
cant believe you've got me saying out loud "that bull is going to need some paste and a rap get the block on now if i was you" your turning me into a trimmer
I do the same thing! I try to beat Graeme to it and figure out what the animal needs before he says it. I must admit tho, they are always worse than I imagine and Graeme always seems so nonplussed by it.
The more he cut away, the more I was like...Oooo, this is gonna be rough.
@@fairwitness7473 a trimmer will see a lot in their time that means something the rest of us will cringe at, they will just see as fairly easy to deal with. It wont have been anything new he has never seen before, probably deals with a few a year. I'd probably be terrified if it were my bull but GP can sort it 😀
I am like that with horses having been a rehab place for rescues for years (before going back to farming). Nothing surprised me. Nothing was new.
"Bulls are pretty big and scary."
* camera pans over to the bull's face*
"Awwwww big BABY"
When I was little, we had a bunch of herefords. The bull was very gentle. It would drive my mom nuts when I would go over the the wall (concrete wall where the ground I was standing on was at the top of the wall and he was down below) and feed the bull tree leaves. It got to when he saw me come near that area, he would come walking over.
I'm sure that his head weighed more than my whole body.
@@tubefluid that's so wholesome
*boop!*
Eva Schiller Bull: hold my pacifier
@@tubefluid that’s adorable
I am a city girl 100% but for some reason watching this and sandi Brock bring me so much calm, joy and love. Some times I have no idea what I'm watching and have soooo many questions but all the same, thank you for sharing. BTW the music in this one was amazing. ❤❤❤❤
You can tell the farmer loves his bulls why else would he bother with a scratching brush 🐮 and they are in beautiful condition.
@Michael Howard The pens might be for the girls but the rotating brush was set high enough with the bulls in mind 😉
@@munirahbakar4123 If the bulls are running with Holstein cows - their girls are probably taller than they are !
It's Tom Pemberton and he has his own channel... there's another brush out in the field for the cattle in the pasture.
@@jen43072 When Graeme got the phone call from the farmer his phone said Tom Hainey.
@@jen43072 Tom Pemberton lives a bit far away for Graham to pop down, and Tom P would have been in the videos. A lot of farms have those brushes. They are great. Cows love a good scratch.
The effect you have on an animal’s comfort and wellbeing must be very gratifying at the end of the day.
In these uncertain times it is a pleasure to relax and enjoy what you do.
Your compassion and professionalism are the perfect balance for this job.
Thank you for being a light in my life.
Stay strong and much respect from Nova Scotia,Canada
This video is 100% why I donated for your new crush. I am so glad you are able to help these big boys. They need love too. Keep up the great work guys, send my love from Texas.
Man how are you guys not scared being in there with those bulls. Like growing up my mom put the fear of god in me about bulls
Beef bulls are a different story compared to dairy bulls (who are just plain evil), but your mom taught you right!
My great uncle tried to keep us out of the pasture with warnings that the bull would get us. It was a young Hereford, about half the size of the boy in this video. But he wasn't the true terror of the fields; the six fat, white geese were. Only took six year old me getting knocked down and battered by those vicious bastards once, and I never went through the fence into the pasture again. If the geese were out on the lawn when we went to visit that farm, I wouldn't even get out of the car lol.
@@alikatyeg3295 viscous geese... Loved the story, had me laughing so hard while in bed I woke the wife up. LoL
And yes,I agree. They are viscous bastards. They batter you with those knobs on their wings. It hurts! ;-)
@@alikatyeg3295 I relate, I got attacked by chickens when I was about 2 years old - they were bloody vicious and used to chase the cars out of the car park and try to get the tyres 😂 ironically though I wasn't scared of the chickens, it was the massive (harmless) pig that lived there and used to screech at everything 😖
@CathyB So very true! On my uncles farm it was my job to feed the calves first (by hand, none of these fancy machines) the bulls pen was behind the calves pens. He was always snorting and huffing around. Us kids were under strict orders to stay away. Of course we had to sneak a peek! Man was that guy HUGE and VERY ANGRY 😤. My Uncle would wait to move him until he had enough men around to re-pen him (this often involved at least 2 tractors in the out fields - which he put a few dents in over the years. 2 bobcats in the barn to finish getting him where he’d need to be). Us kids had a front row seat from the hayloft!
I will never look at cows or horses hoofs the same. How some have suffered and so grateful you are to help them heal. God bless.
Those poor boys!!! I’m so glad the black night was there to comfortably handle them. The way they were walking afterwards was proof enough that the job you do is extraordinary. I literally cringed when I saw the open flap of horn and the muck underneath it. They are now on the road to recovery. I’d love to see more bull trimming. I love seeing the different breeds as well. So interesting Graeme!!! 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄✨💜
Did Craig cut your hair with the grinder and did he have any problems getting you in the crush🤣🤣🤣
🤣👌🏻
Love it ! Hey we’re all looking a little worst for ware ,at least some of us are getting mani pedis thanks to the hoof GP.😂
I was lookin' for a comment about his buzz cut heh, heh......and that's a good one.
I wonder if that's how my husband and sin feel after I cut their hair...clippers guide and go for it! but I haven't screwed up too bad yet so must be ok!
SuperDixxxie 😄🙌🏻
I have fallen in Love with a Big Bull that is kept in a paddock up the road and visit him most days just to sing to him, feed a few carrots and talk with him and yes when he has had enough he goes about his day.
I have noticed his front hooves need some attention desperately but I am not to sure who owns him or how to get the help for those cracked hooves. 😔
I have grown so fond of him and I wish there was someone like you here to help.
Great Job on fixing both Big Boys and there issues, you are fantastic. 😊👍🏼❤️
The improvement for the first bull right out of the crush was amazing. Both bulls are very lucky to have you taking care of them.
I appreciate all the knowledge and lingo I'm picking up - because you said that you don't want to take the inner claw in along with the outer claw and my brain immediately went - ah yes, because you don't want the sole too thin for the bull since they're heavier than the cows and you don't want to cause issues just for cosmetic trimming
I have never stepped foot on a farm in my life and I'm over here going, ah yes I understand exactly the rational behind this move
I love how you are sooo supportive of the farmers!!! Here in Wyoming in the USA we are constantly trying to get people to understand we love and do the best by our livestock!! It is a constant battle!!
It's pretty troubling that you have to spend time trying to get people to understand that! They are your livelihood after all! That would be like trying to get people to understand that as a house painter, you're painting a house in a way that'll make it look the best for the longest time! Should be common sense! Unfortunately common sense is rather lacking these days! People just love to throw their 2 cents into things they know nothing about!
That's because can't fix ignorance an they have no idea where . Most everything we eat comes from .it comes from some sort of farm .. that raise food or dairy. All farmers love an respect there animals . 99 percent do
When this popped up in my recommendations, i was like wtf is this doing here. So i checked it out. Started watching it and was like hmmm.... this is actually pretty interesting. The longer i watched, the more satisfying and intriguing it became. I think u just got a new subscriber my friend lol
The magic of youtube (when it's not being a pain in the arse)
Damn we BTS stans be wildin on COW MANICURE RUclips
ARMY purples the HOOF GP!!! ♥️♥️
@@miraculoushufflepuff9526 Haha, Yes We Do! 😊👍🏾
I never doubt the recommendations any more. I at list give it a try. Et voila. Hoof trimming.
It’s soo satisfying watching this but at the same time you feel sorry for the cow or bull cause the pain it was In until you fixed it
Hi Graeme,
I absolutely love that you never shamed the farmer for the condition of these two beautiful bulls. You explained to us why the farmer can’t care for their hooves.
You had mentioned on the first one that you kept one of his feet up so he wouldn’t thrash around while working on the others. When you video’d the bulls face while you were trimming him, he looked very calm and as if he knew you weren’t there to hurt him but to help me. They both looked that way actually.
I am not a farmer but an animal lover and I enjoy learning. I love watching you and seeing the love you have for doing your job! Thank you!!
Right there at the end I was thinking we got through a whole vid without anything coming out the backside of an animal. SO CLOSE!!
Hahaha...
There is always something coming out the backside of cattle. If there isn't, get the vet.
It's a celebratory poo!
*lifts up flap of loose horn, pulls out dirt and debris*
Me: eww no wonder that poor bull was in pain
Bull: that’s a start to feeling better
I have no idea what cow's hooves are made out of. It looks like most of it is harder like human fingernails. But what is that flap the Hoof GP lifted up made of? Is it softer like cuticle around human fingernails? Must be very uncomfortable to have dirt and stuff packed in there.
@@rhondie4ever it looked like it was over grown hoof and he some how managed to get all that debris up in a crack. At first I thought it was maggots coming out till he pulled out all the cow shit n straw. Definitely see why there was infection!
You are correct about what the hoofs are "made" of, it's a protein called Keratin.
@@rhondie4ever The flap is made of keratin just like the hard parts of the hoof. It becomes soft when it stays wet because of an infection or flooring that stays wet. Just like fingernails get softer after you've kept them in water for 20 minutes or longer. And when there is an infection the layer of hoof doesn't only get soft but also separates from the layers above it, so it becomes a flap.
@@PsychoKittee1 Can you say "Jello"? :p
Really appreciated that slo mo of Craig poking the bull with a pipe at the end 🤣🤣
Greetings again from the Cascade Mountains, Oregon USA. Just wanted to say I enjoyed watching you work with the bulls, particularly the Hereford. Our Hereford bull Curley (that I sneaked mollasses candy to on a regular basis as a kid) looked just like him. It put a smile on my face remembering. :D
Rowan Spiritwalker I’m watching from just west of US 97, in Washington on the shoulder of the Cascade Mountains.
Even though that bull must have been in pain, he held remarkably still for him.
I really love these gentle giants. What a difference you make with perfect hoof trimming.
Hey GP I can’t wait for follow up to se how these “Bills” are doing. You do such a great job. Thank you for your videos.
I just don’t understand how he gets any dislikes on his videos, Hoof GP is nothing but amazing in what he does 🥰
I would guess it’s people who don’t really know what they are looking at and they dislike it just because it looks gross. Or it’s the crazy over the top animal activists who are against Industrial farming as a whole.
True, some people be disliking cuz they dont understand the relieve the animals recieve after they grooming.
Some of them are RUclips bots. It's how RUclips works.
Every channel, no matter how positive it is will have ignorant trolls just to hate on other people’s content and also, bots from RUclips
People sometimes dislike videos if they just want to prevent the algorithm from recommending them similar videos in the future.
God bless you Gareth for all that you do for these poor animals
Graeme
Watching the Second Bull with the Brush was heartwarming
Idk why RUclips recommended this to me? Lol but I find it interesting! I grew up on a Pig Farm and we sold it when I was 5. I'm 44 now. So this is awesome..its like a pedicure for Bulls lol..Greetings from the USA (Middletown Delaware) I subscribed and can't wait to see more.
The number of folks that swing through here with exactly this comment on every video is hilarious. I, too, found my way here because YT was like "here, have something odd." Almost a year later, I'm still here. Welcome!
@@shadowsbane877 honestly that happened to me but it was on Facebook that I got these vids recommended out of nowhere, so I followed to RUclips and subbed XD
Just your smile put one on my face. I should start my morning with that.
I need one of those head-scratcher thingys.
Me too! Lol 😂
Such massive bulls! Hereford bulls are really mellow, we used to ride ours, he had a lot of cushion on him. 😁 So good to see them not in so much pain.
I could see the relief on the first bulls face when you were working on him. His ears were back and it’s eyes closing.
This videos can't come in a better time ... thanks so much for making the end of the day better ! and have a great weekend
I know the bulls wouldn't let me, but the whole time I wanted to give them a hug & tell them it was all going to be ok because SUPER Graeme was here to fix it & make it all better!🖤🐂🐃🤎
Thank You Graeme
Many bulls enjoy a hug! A beef farmer friend is often found in the summer asleep in the field, next to the bull who is also asleep in the field. Some of them are lovely, friendly creatures. You still give them the respect their size deserves because they dont know how strong they are compared to the human body.
You might be surprised at just how affectionate many of those huge Bulls are :) Mine loves his Mum and is a massive beast that can lick my skin off if I let him.
always great to know there are people like Graham who love what they do to help farmers in their businesses to keep their animals pain free.
So nice to see that the boys can count on you to make them pretty too, and the crush the farmer has would of never of held one of those boys legs never mind the rest of them. Thanks for a wonderful way to start the weekend. Craig time for your haircut too. Cheers from Alberta.
Two beautiful animals. I am so glad you were there to help them.
The second bull at the scratch thingy enjoying the scratches. I didn't know I needed that in my life😍🐂
That big ole baby rubbing his face against the roller thingy made my night!
yes I know all of the technical terms LMAO
Our podiatrist LOVES your channel! The hubby has a 1" diabetic ulcer on his inner left heel. Our Podiatrist put iodine paste & elastic wrap on the ulcer when we came in for a bandage change, so for giggles I showed him one of your iodine paste videos. You have a new fan here in Arizona! Cheers!
I love watching you work, strangely enough watching yr vids help me relax and wind down after a stressful day lol. What a great and caring job you do. Brilliant 👌
Same here
I need one of those back-scratcher things at my place!
When I lived on the farm there was fly repellent in those back scratchers.
