“I’m glad that people like them are alive because they make the world better because they help animals and people.”-Bethy my 7 year old daughter who loves watching you fix cows with me.😊
It’s so important that those of us who don’t understand the finer details of what you are doing, you give an education to explain the reasons why you do what you do. Thanks
Yeah because he did something wrong on this bulls trim !! Thats why he didn't show us the finished version and he talked why more than he needed to !! Just saying 😌
@@carltonho-ten-pow9534 what was it he did wrong plz?
@@carltonho-ten-pow9534 And you know that because of what? You weren't there, I don't believe you have any knowledge about this kind of work. Just imho
@@carltonho-ten-pow9534
Nonsense. Graeme has made mistakes before and has shown them on his videos. He doesn't hide anything. Nor does he need to. He's a perfectionist who exercises extreme caution while doing his trimmings. If he does make a mistake, it's going to be an extremely minor one. Certainly nothing worth covering up. Also, he did show the final version at 8:00 in the video. He had a block on it and had sprayed it down with iodine. That would be the last steps after the trimming is complete. He wouldn't be spraying it down with iodine before he finished removing the hoof horn. So, you are clearly talking out of your behind.
@@carltonho-ten-pow9534 get a life and stop skipping school
Even the boys need their pedicures from time to time. I'd venture to say by the end he was even a bit thankful to you Graeme. ❤ 🐃
Even men need help sometimes!
@@Flutistno3 The strong will go to the doc and tackle what sickens them head on.
@@gorillaau amen.
I actually expected the cavity to be bigger. With how the hoof was pliable up to the heel. I, as a programmer from the city who knows nothing of cattle, expected almost a sole separation. I was certain, however, that the cavity was bigger than what you first uncovered, because you were pressing quite a bit higher on the hoof when the coagulating blood first spurted out. That indicated to me that the cavity at least went to there.
Yeah I haven't seen how far it goes yet but my estimate is about half way up, I think the softening is another issue or possibly the cause
I honestly think it was bigger, he just didn't want to remove it all
@@Zigfryed not removing it all would be a disservice to the bull. If Graeme stopped there, it's because that's all that needed to be removed.
What are the steps of the Dutch 5 step method?
Sorry i But don't $4. 95 to watch you out
Thank you for helping this angry 😡 bull.
He’s an absolute unit ❤
That’s what she said.
@@kallusive8986 😅
@@kallusive8986 😂😂😂 I love he/she said comments. Thank you for keeping the Michael Scott character alive! 😂
@@Betsy-R I was only stating facts 😉
@@kallusive8986 right!! That’s a lot of bull right there!
I love that I’m not only learning about hoof trimming, but Graeme genuinely shows care to the cows, bulls, and his audience. Glad this channel showed up for me to subscribe. Thank you, Hoof GP!!!
So glad you’ve the experience and knowledge to ‘trouble shoot’ so you can address a problem like this in such a large stressed animal. Wonderful to know there’s a way to help them down and destress a bit before coming out of the crush too. Bit strange but I feel like I’m beginning to be able to ‘read’ some of these hooves. Thank you Hoof GP and friends! ❤ from Tennessee, US
Andy is one gorgeous bull, and even though he may be angry, he thanks you! ❤️
He sure looks delicious.
You'd be angry with a foot like that!
I think you’re amazing you take care of all these cows and bulls and save them from so much pain. What would they do without you. You work in the cold you drive for hours and work even if your in pain and always put the cow of bull before RUclips. Keep being amazing!
I tell you what, when I have a bit of disposable income, YOURS will most DEFINITELY be the first channel (probably only) that I join!! As a newish/aspiring farmer, I just love the hell out of you guys!!! 🤓
I've been exceedingly ill for 4 days, you brought a chuckle out of me. I must be recovering.
He actually didn’t walk to bad just out of the crush 👍🏼
Hi Graeme, from Hershey, Pennsylvania! I'm so addicted to your videos!! You're so caring with these bulls and cows... I just love watching how much you help them!! Thank you ☺️
Moved from H,PA 10 years ago...and every time I see Graeme's videos, I think of Hershey!!!!
Love these videos, sir...and how connected The Herd really is. 🥰
lol I work in Hershey! Small world
I love your attention to detail and making sure that you do the best you can for all the cows and bulls. And thank you for educating us on reasons for doing or not doing something.
Ya he’s pretty badass
Loves his job
And the animals he cares for
If nothing else, I could listen to the intro music all day. It’s beautiful! Granted, what follows sometimes isn’t as wonderful as the music, but I learn something every time I watch. As a city boy, it is great to see what others have to do on a day to day basis. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for answering my question about why you didn't wrap the cows foot on your previous video......now I understand....SA paste & wrap for digital dermatitis NOT a infection 👍🏻 Thank you 😊 bc you taught me something 😉
Hoof GP my daughter helps with my meds. It don’t hurt to ask for help! I’m proud you are doing good or on your feet. I know u tube shows now day. I just wonder about your younger days in trimming! I’m glad you have the owners and vets work with you! I like your crew!
Hopefully I'm not the only person that thinks that dark pigmented hoof horn is beautiful. Like the most perfect flinty blue. Thanks for helping that handsome man feel better Graeme!
Loving the new camera BUT when you are filming a hoof trim you should put it on manual focus. This way it won’t keep focusing on your hand then the hoof every time your hand passes in front of the camera. 🤘🏼
You know my fav part is when you just play music and show us the basic trimming of the cows. It’s so soothing
"We need to understand.... bligbbblhhbbblah" 🤣 You're so funny when you get tongue tied.
What I like most about your channel is that you show what it's like to be in a technician like role and how you use your knowledge to troubleshoot problems that you may have not even seen before, and keeping calm even though you care so much for the animals! Much respect and you are very good at your job!
Thanks, Graeme, for making these videos. I live in an area where there aren't any cattle hoof trimmers that I've ever heard even a rumor about (more beef cattle than dairy, sadly), so I find these fascinating. I found you the day I lost my Mom 🥰 who taught me to love all things farm related. 🐄 🐎 🐐 🐕🦺 🦆💚 Hello from Oregon, USA to you, Mrs. Hoof GP, sang all the Littles. 😀
Thanks so much for taking such good care of him! He's an absolute Unit! Hope he gets to feeling better soon, sweet boy.
You could tell he feels better by the way he was walking out of the crush. Great job as usual!
My grandmother was originally from Scotland. As a child her family went to Canada. Her name was Grace Luella Ritchie. The family then
Settled in Wisconsin..I never.heard her accent as I was quite small when I actually knew her. My mom was one of her youngest so my grandmother probably lost her accent. I love your accent.
You know I am not a farmer. Never had a cow or bull and only just would pet them at my grandfather's farm. But I do like how you care about the animals you work with and how concerned you are about them. I am subscribed and look forward to more of The Hoof GP. 😊
Your productions skills are perfect Graham.
The makers of those chutes are life savers, both yours and the bull's. When that much muscle and madness need help, if not for the chute, there would be no way to help them.
No wonder Andy was angry, poor big fella, the way he went into the crush, I thought to myself, oh no, there’s going to be fireworks when you let him out, but because of your expert knowledge with bulls and your crush, you did the right thing when you let him out, excellent job Graham, thank you for posting, and take care.👍💙🐄
I love to see these bull’s hooves. Those pieces of gray coming off are just so satisfying, even more so than the regular colored hooves. It makes me want to feel it with my fingertips, it looks so smooth.
This sounds weird, I know. But I’ve re-watched the part where you carve the pieces off with your knife like three times, and I’ll probably watch it again.
Excellent content!
Always happy to hear Graham say “beull”. 😉
Your country looks beautiful. I admit I thought Scotland was rocky cliffs and grey terrain hostile and uninviting. How ignorant and uneducated I am. No, it's lovely and quaint. Thank you for showing me this
4:07 the hoof is the shoe, the corium would be our socks. You need to peel away at the sole of the foot/ shoe until the infected corium/sock is revealed, stopping sooner if the problem is a shallow one.
Something told me that infection went lots further. Great video I bet the bull feels much better
Thank you for the explanation on why you didn't wrap. I wondered if that was why you didn't, but I wasn't sure. Thank you again!
You are one heck of a teacher, Graeme. I have learned so much. Thank you.
My mother's side is American (Brazilian a few generations back) and my dad's has been in Australia (Pure Scottish 300ish years before that). I've always felt a yearning to go to Scotland, like a hole in me that needs to be filled. Only ever touched down there on layovers to and from Iraq/Kuwait on deployment. Loving your videos and the wide aerial shots from time to time. Also, just the whole trimming thing is absolutely fascinating to me. Thanks for making these and please, keep it up!
Thank you for your service/s sir, it is a humbling honour that I am able to say thank you.
I've had that same yearning all my life... (my grandparents emigrated from Scotland to America; some of their siblings headed to Australia). I finally made it to Scotland in 2019 (before the 'craziness'). It's absolutely stunning. I had the strange feeling of being 'home'. We stayed for 2 weeks and explored as much of it as possible; both coasts, the Inner Hebrides, Orkneys, Highlands and a bit more... we didn't make it to the SW corner where Graeme lives, or to the Borders where my family is from. We simply ran out of time. At the end of the 2 weeks...my hubby had to drag me onto the plane. I did not want to leave. I am headed back this next summer to stay for a couple of months... DON'T wait until you're in your 60's like I did.... GO! Now!
@@nannykat1057 Yes ma'am! My retirement stuff is going through right now; should be finished with the Army come March/April. Definitely going to try and get there in 2023 or 2024 at the latest! Thank you for sharing your story! Can't wait to make my own there
A true key to your success is the wonderful way you "love" these animals, the great information continually provide to us, and finally your terrifically optimistic personality. In the end, we feel like we're the only people you are talking to - that makes us feel like one of your best friends in the world. It's a wonderful feeling and I hope that you'll keep doing it for many years to come. Thanks for everything Graeme. 👀
I cannot seem to have enough of these videos! Thanks Graeme!
You probably have a greater pressure through your thumb than you think…
I’m 5 feet tall and small boned but the last time the amount of pressure I had in my grip was 210pounds. I do stone carving. Love your videos Graeme.
Excellent education on your reasoning for wrapping vs not wrapping. Thank you.
I just want to say I initially found your wonderful channel before for University graduation cause I was enjoying horse shoeing videos cuz they were satisfying but after watching a few videos I just started falling in love with the art of the hoof gp the love and care you show the animals is really beautiful to see it really makes me want to hug a cow if I see one and post graduation I've watched more than 30 videos cuz they all have crazy rewatch value and unique content in each keep up the great work doc💜🐄🩺
Love this goodnight from denmark🇩🇰🥰
A very good Saturday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset
Still appreciative of the soothing work done for these food animals! I'd continue to love beef but knowing the animals aren't left to suffer so is good!
Ahhhhhh. Blood draining in a bad place. Good explanation about salicylic acid. The Master knows his job. Carry on Graeme. 👍
That bull was feeling better,great job again.
You could tell he felt a lot better after you relueved that pressure. He seemed almost calm.
I don’t have anything’s to do with cows or bull apart from my dinner or my coffee but I absolutely love your Chanel and really enjoy learning about another area of animal care, thank you for all you do for these animals although I doubt I will ever have the opportunity to use this information or put it into practice I still enjoy watching their journey to better health and comfort.
What bull had got to do with coffee? Bull milk? 😶
@@calculator4482 cows or bulls dinner or coffee cows for milk for my coffee and bulls for beef for my dinner, read what’s there not what you think is there. Things make more sense when you read carefully. I’m sue they would of taught you this at school .🤦🏻♂️
Same here! 😊
@@denemitchell8719 please don't sue me!
He looks so pitiful! Thank you for helping the Big Boy!
I love learning and that's one of the reasons I so enjoy your channel. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to teach us exactly why you do - and don't - do what you do!
Thank you. I really needed to hear your statement about doing something "for a reason". Rather profound, and an excellent guide to challenge many of my mindless activities at present. I'm in a major slump after a health diagnosis and have defaulted to unhelpful thoughts and habits. "For a reason" changes the source from emotional reaction to mental and volitional choice; empowering rather than limiting.
Plus, l am always amazed at how gently you manage to do that kind of trimming, in what seems such a strength-reliant trade. It looks like such physical work, yet you are so methodical and almost delicate.
Wishing you all the best and hope you will be doing well soon.🙏💖
Beautiful Angus bull. We used to raise angus on our farm when I was a kid. Gorgeous animals. Thanks for all you do keeping Andy the Angus, and all his ladies, happy and healthy!
Bless his little heart 💕
Nose rings are used to control bulls and occasionally cows, and to help wean young cattle by preventing suckling. Nose rings are used on pigs to discourage rooting. Some nose rings are installed through a pierced hole in the nasal septum or rim of the nose and remain there, while others are temporary tools.
Dont know how ive found this
Dont know why im watching instead of sleeping
Im never going to go into cattle, nor hoof trimming. But here i am. watching it until the end
Hoof G P you do a marvellous job you do what you’re got to do make them well and out of pain
I guessed all the way up to the heel and I’m so glad I was wrong.
Nice job, hope he’s feeling better.
Ooooh, we saw the rest of him on Craig's channel 👍! Now THE HOOF...
❤ the bulls face is cute and fluffy
Your professionalism is shown in how much you care for your Clients ( the cows) just looking at how that bull came out of the crush shows how much pain relief he's feeling and how much pressure was built up under that horn. Nice work.
I caught the bull looking back at you (even though he was in the background and blurred) after you let him out of the crush. Just like the cows do after their pedicures. Deep down, even the bulls want to thank you for helping them!
😊🐄❤️
couldn't you attach a bit of shrimp net onto the two supporting belly straps to help support the stomach over a wider area to ease the pressure from only the 2 straps you currently use? I know the spreading of pressure on my shoulders with a wider backpack strap takes a lot of the pressure from target areas and enables me to carry a larger load more easily for longer periods.
I really thought that would go all the way up to the top. There was a dark curved purple blue line up the right side of the hoof near the top. I lay a small bet this will need another go in a few weeks. 😉
Love the music ! Very informative videos !
I often wondered why you left hoofs like this without wrapping because 💩 could get in..and you answered my question perfectly..
Poor fellow must have been so uncomfortable, I am so glad there are such caring and compassionate folk like you ♥️♥️
Great video again Graeme
i never knew i wanted to be a hoof trimmer but your a big inspiration to me! 💕
It's never too late to learn a new life choice!
@@jannythewonderwomen2215 thank you.
If you spoke with a snobby- type of Missouri accent you wouldn’t get your tongue tangled so often😁. But, you wouldn’t be so adorable. I started watching just because I love Scotland and recently discovered that a lot of my family history started there. But, I am I in love with those Cows!!! They are so gorgeous! And I love learning something new. Graeme! Learned to cut my toenails with a huge knife! I will send a picture in a while!!!
All the talk about that one foot I completely forgot about the other three
Good job you remembered 😂😂
Thank you for all you do for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Above your knowledge, Craftsmanship, experience ( all of which are incredible) it's your kindness and concern for the animals that you care for is what strikes me most. All of us should have more of that spirit . Thank you.
Lots of muscle in the crush. Looks like the boy is happier coming out than going in.😁
Mr Graham you're doing a Superb job!!
You’re amazing Graeme. Just how much you care for the cows makes my heart warm. Thank you sir.
And then the turn of his head to thank Graeme for his effort to make the hoof feel better. Even cantankerous bulls know when they’re being helped out. Thanks for sharing Graeme! 🎃
one little thing to add to why not to wrap certain infections:
most infection causing bacteria are anaerobic, oxygen is toxic to them, which is why you want as much air to get to the infected area as possible.
I love how you explain how and why you do what you do.
Really interesting- as always! Well done on helping the cross boy….😊
Craigie Boy teased this big boy on his channel and I've been waiting for this.
Good morning from New York, U.S.
You do your work with fulfillment always and always have details to every issues in every hoof👍
Poor lad! Thanks for helping him.
When you pressed up toward the middle of the claw and pus squirted from the toe, I was pretty sure a lot of that sole was going to have to be removed. The explanation of why you didn't wrap it makes total sense. It's not dermatitis, you don't treat it like it was. Letting it keep draining and getting some exposure to the air is far better.
He may not like you Graeme but he will love the comfort you gave him.
Your videos are an escape for me. I come to your channel to see the love, care, and nurturing I wish I could see in my everyday. Thanks Graem.
Think I'm the only one who loves WATCHING THE HOOF GP's videos when eating my tea... 😅🤔
No, you're not alone. It's fascinating. 🙂🐃💜
Explained well about the salicylic acid and wrap, Thanks
Beautiful bull and not hardly angry at all. My grand dad had a bull that had a bad attitude all the time with men but to my grandmama and all of us girls, he was a sweetheart. It was funny and a bit strange. Was it by sight, smell…idk but he hated men.
Thank you for explaining wrapping vs not.
My cat lucifer and I love watching your videos lol he's very interested in the cows
That’s Graeme and speedy recovery to Angus the Bull! ❤️🇦🇺
As you mentioned about getting some claret into your mouth I was opening a beef oxo to make myself a drink.
Perfect timing.
Greeting from Minnesota, USA 🇺🇸! I am forever fascinated by what you for the cattle you see and the love you have for them. Also, I would appreciate knowing about your opening music. Care to share?
I always love to see how much better they are able to walk after you help them.
I love you saying Bull. I'm from northern Wisconsin
Such a beautiful bill!!! Wow!❤
