Never in my life did I think I'd ever sit and binge watch hoof trimming, yet here I am.
Enjoy the content. Keep up the great work!!
The hoof bit is interesting, I also enjoy watching footage of the area I used to live in.
I have to give you big props on your music. As a combat vet with PTSD, my anxiety and stress is always raging until I watch some of your videos. The music is so calming and relaxing it's almost like I have a whole new life.
I second the therapeutic effects of these videos- music, personality, care -it just heals on over all the raw nerves.
Thank you for your service 🙏
Omg. Same!!! I just found his channel, I have complex PTSD from childhood, then the military, and then more from Law Enforcement. This channel soothes my soul!
I have so say you are an amazing person you have such empathy , and compassionate and you see your humbleness within your videos along with your partners and your beautiful wife and your beautiful children what an amazing family have anybody would have pleasure knowing you thank you for inviting us into your life and giving us that chance I am from Portland Oregon
Wow i too suffer ptsd and find it relaxing
It's amazing how you can look at the hoof when it is covered in crap, and still be able to tell that there is decay on a hoof. I am seriously impressed.
I love watching these videos after a long day of crap, the wholesomeness of these guys and the genuine care they have for the animals, each other, and the farmers it really helps me relax and have a good evening, I don’t know if you’ll see this but thank you for spreading light and love in this world through your work and videos.
As I watch you I am reminded of a couple episodes in your life: your dad passing and leaving his farm to others vs immediate family and the impact of your stepdad and the skills he taught you. And here you are! Hard working, reeping rewards due to your work ethic, personality, & perspective on life. Makes me feel warm and happy.
So good to see 3 brother-in-laws getting along while working together.
3 brothers, one law. 3 brothers-in-law
The Hooof GP brought to you by Sesame Street and the number 4. 😂😂
Its great seeing that Craig has really defined some space in the business that he excels at and is bringing something unique. Never underestimate the kind of person who can reliably set up so that the rest of the day goes smooth.
Very well said!
Absolutely! People like that are an absolute godsend!
I think Craig needs to learn how to cut hair. Graham, I can’t imagine why your wife lets you go out in public with that hairdo! During COVID all the places I usually went to get my hair cut were closed so I bought some clippers from Amazon. I don’t need them anymore. Should I send them to you? Lofton

Not sure he works with a Craig I know of a craigy boy that’s it though
I really appreciate the farmers allowing you to film. Everyone should know that accidents happen. illness happens ... none of it the fault of the farmers. The facts that they have you coming to care for their cows proves they're proactive in caring for the cows. Thank you farmers for allowing us to learn about hoof care via your cows! Love watching your family business grow, HI Kevin!!!
Some of it are the farmers fault. Don’t act like animals aren’t treated badly.
@@iwantlee9510 why don't you go be negative elsewhere. Not all farmers are bad and I believe this farmer is a good one. 1 out of how many cows he trimmed was bad.
@@hannahsonsalla9033 I think the point that I Want Lee might have been making is that not all farmers are good, just like not all farmers are bad.
@@iwantlee9510 I mean, I get what you're saying, but, this is a positive channel. And he deals with good farmers. You really didn't have to say that. We all know about the bad. And Graeme knows about it too. Absolutely no one is pretending bad doesn't exist.
@@iwantlee9510 I don't think a bad farmer would let him film. But yes, there are animal abusers.
You are an excellent teacher. By letting him physically experience pushing that button and having an actual physical consequence for pushing the wrong button, he WILL remember better. Muscle memory and all of that.
Ive watched other trimmersn but you really do go the extra mile to not only explain the problems & how you fix them but show the different areas of different types of farms. Whether commercial or private, the ones that have automated milking or hands on...
Simply put, I think you're channel is best!
I cant understand how certian farms can allow their animals hoofs to become seriously over grown or damaged or diseased hoofs!.(makes me wonder about their own feet!)
Anyway TOP MARKS MY BOY! ONCE AGAIN YOUVE OUT-DONE YOURSELF!
It's actually the opposite of what you fear. I think that if the farmers weren't taking good care of the cows, then your job simply wouldn't exist. Not only does it exist, but there's a seeming heavy demand for your services. Watching your channel and others has reassured me and made me realise that farmers do care very much about their cows, and about all aspects of their health and happiness.
I love that we get to see the actual facilities, new innovations, family banter, and the relationships with the farmers all while watching grass puppies get manicures
"Grass Puppies" is my new go-to for cows. Much appreciated.
@@forgottenquill7063 lol I felt the same way when I heard it all those years ago. Now I rarely call them cows
Grass Puppies.
I'm having that off you.
I loooooove “grass puppies!”
Graeme, I've suffered from depression and struggled with chronic suicidal ideation for half of my lifetime. I've had some pretty dark times and some really upset moments where I've gotten close to making some... poor decisions shall we say? And I have to say your videos have helped immensely. When I'm upset or experiencing an episode I know I can turn on your channel and see your kindness with these cows and see their lives made that much better by your phenomenal work, and that, while it doesn't make the depression or intrusive thoughts go away, makes them so much more bearable, and gives me hope that I'll meet someone as overwhelmingly kind as you are. So thank you, for your videos and all the work you do. Never change and never stop.
In that case may I suggest the channel Takis Shelter? A truly good man, rescuing dogs by the hundreds, in Crete. So good for the heart and soul knowing he is in the world.
i hope youre doing okay, things will get better I promise
I hope you are getting good medical care for your depression, Amand. Please remember that you’re not alone, and things can and will be better if you just hang in there. Peace.
Your not alone hun please always seek help,you are worth it,big huge hugs
Hugs my friend, I've been there. Don't be afraid to seek help, and if the help you get isn't working, it's not your fault. Keep looking, because you are worth it.
If you just need to look and watch something completely different, may I suggest the Tidal Gardens channel? It's completely different, but quite soothing
You opened that like a 8 yr old w/ a box cutter 😂 yet we all know how very precisely and gently you handle the hooves! Love
your optimism and excitement !
When you said toe necrosis i was devastated because i guessed sole fracture then if not that a sole ulcer. Then you corrected and said sole fracture and i was happy again. :) so glad that hoof trimming is around so that the cows can live comfortably.
Please tell your farmers that we appreciate your being able to film on their farms. Illness and accident happen to everyone's cattle and it's wonderful to see them get relief. Nice video, love the commaraderie of your team. Happy cows, happy team = a good life for all. The best to all of you and to the wives and kids.
Agree 100 % please , we all appreciate the videos. From Las Vegas, NV
It's okay if Kev never quite gets comfy in front of the camera, he can be the quiet stoic one. We'll always have Craig's zaniness.
Graham, Craig and Kevin, you can tell the character of a person by how they treat animals....the 3 of you are good men...doing a great service too all those cattle...keep up the good work, gentlemen....and Kevin, welcome to the Hoof Gp community
i turn off the cable tv to watch HoofGP. i prefer watching these trimming videos over anything offered on TV 👍🏼
I am so happy to listen to someone so positive ❤
Aww, I remember when Craig began and how awkward, and nervous on camera. Not to mention being kinda afraid of the cows! Now look at him!
The happiness that came to me when I realized it’s a long hoof gp video is insane! Love the content keep it up
I get so excited when I see a Hoof GP video pop up! I was just telling my daughter how happy and giddy I am when a new video gets here. So happy that now Graeme has 2 of his brother in laws working with him now! You guys work so well together and it looks like you all just enjoy each other's company so much! Great job guys! Thanks for your wonderful video content, please keep them coming!
Same! haha
How you don’t have more subscribers is beyond me. You make very good entertaining content. You also make content that is educational, that along with entertaining is quite an accomplishment, pat yourself on the back, you’re doing a job many are capable of but won’t put in the effort but you do and it’s impressive to say the least.
Must be the hair.
I quite enjoyed the longer video. I love the behind the scenes footage and the playful banter between you all.
You are so amazing. I used to take a large bunch of six year olds to the Kellogg Dairy Farm near us where the kids saw the cows being milked and in the field. I loved that trip. Now I have discovered your videos and am just mesmerized. You are such a great speaker, and entertainer! I'm learning so much more about cows. Wearing my Hoofgp shirt everywhere, my kids look at me strange but I love your infectiousness and good humor!
This video reminded me of your older videos. Longer, full of chat, beautiful scenery and great music. Thanks! And welcome Kevin!
I always worry about mixing family into a small business--employment conflicts can be so hard when it's family! May your disagreements be few and peace quickly found!
Your extended family reminds me of my Mexican family, cousins and in-laws all working together and helping each other out. I wish more people could experience that!
I thought the same. My husband works with his mom and my mom. They work really well as a team.
and an emotionally abusive abuela
I love the cows coming up to check out what you’re doing with their friends❤
I bet you never guessed you would have pushing 2mil subs to a channel trimming cow hooves. But, it interesting, and it great that you do it... and great that you are so passionate about it. Hello from Midwest USA.
Craig don't worry we all love ya! Graham, that's fantastic about your house and your new addition to the team. We better see more videos from Craigie Boy! 😃
And maybe some videos with kevie boy?
I honestly thought that the discs were like sandpaper! So interesting to see them close up and listen to your explanation. Nice to have a longer video too as sometimes they seem to end so quickly!
Sandpaper wouldn't do anything!
I love your energy and how much you care and how much money you put into your work. I am in veterinary school and struggling medically but you remind me why I want to do this. I’m going to keep going. Love you and your family. (Including Craigy boy!)
Keep going!! One day you’ll be through all that and working in the environment you love. I’m 61 and always wanted to be a veterinarian. I was a vet tech for a few years and loved it but I was too lazy and broke to do the college thing. I regret it to this day. I’m excited for you!
@@loriw2661 Thank you so much. The only reason I get to do college is because I get money from my state’s (US) disability law’s.
I got sick when I was 32. It's not a picnic. But, I am so proud of myself that I completed my schooling and put in enough time to earn my full SSD.
There's no reason to believe that you will become permanently disabled (avoid hyper doses of antibiotics!) And even if you do, you will still be proud that you kept going as long as you did. So keep your head down and just keep studying, just keep studying! You'll be fine.
Good luck and God Bless.
My husband is a 4th year. We've seen what you're doing. You can do it. Just remember that you don't have to be an expert in everything. Get your basics and have some fun. You'll be grand! Give yourself a bit to find your feet. Ask your classmates to do study groups with you. Your professors want you to succeed.
@@Done478 Thank you so much but my disability is permanent. I have a genetic degenerative disorder that will slowly form into other disorders. I am on treatment with a bunch of meds but my quality of life is much better. I pray your journey in life will be much smoother. I am 20 so I hope to get where you are now.
Scotland is beautiful...the farms are impressive and the care and concern for these animals is obviously first and foremost in your mind as well as theirs. Thanks for sharing your vocation, your care for the cows and for your easy comraderie with everyone you come in contact with!
Your small towns and villages are awesome... Your Scottish country side is absolutely gorgeous
As a machinist, your explanation of the new blade made perfect sense.
Well personally I prefer the longer videos to the shorter ones. Welcome back and welcome back to craigie boy too and congratulations to Kevin for joining the team. Look forward to you guys more and more and more and more oh that's enough mores Thanks for the video
Don't forget you can't love them to death and forget about getting a younger crew who trained by you 3 lads carry on the good name.
a crook hoof
Wow, a whole half hour! Welcome back.
Witness a man happy with who he is and what it does.
Great sense of humor and fantastic videos! Everything from the music, to the humor, to the way you care about the cows is great! It's great seeing that the cows you care for are in such great capable hands. Well done! You and your crew are wonderful people!
It’s great you are doing well enough to expand your business & you are keeping it in the family. I bet you are a great employer.
Welcome Kevin to an incredible team. GP and Craig are angels. Cheers to your new wings.
I never thought I would be fascinated by one aspect of our agricultural industry ever. The Hoof GP is my favorite channel of this genre. I'm Canadian and have never been to a cow farm before, but I have such an appreciation for all of the people that end up making food for my table now :)
Craig definitely makes this more interesting for me :) You can tell he loves what he does :P
I'm an Australian, and been in and around farmsmin one way for most of my life, with relatives and family friends farming. I haven't heard of anyone specialising in trimming bovine hoofs. Perhaps our open air farming and longer distances to water sources makes a difference.
You are so lucky to have great brother in laws that you can work with. Love the sense of humor that you guys have. And your dedication to helping the animals.
I regularly watch Cammy's (sheep farmer) videos and I'm amazed at the super beautiful Scottish country side. Kevin and Craig look like twin brothers😊
Happy Second First Day Kevin! I've been saying Hi to you from Oregon out loud for years now, every time they are at 'your' farm! =D Excited to do that every time now!
The wholesomeness of your content is what has been keeping me watching since your first Apple and Steele crush. I have no need to learn about hoof trimming, but I just enjoy watching you work and seeing your business grow and succeed.
I guessed sole ulcer! So close! But I am proud that I have learned so much about hoof trimming by just binge watching videos on RUclips! You're a great teacher Graeme.
I’m a new subscriber. I may have said this before but not only do I love your content, I love the snippets of home life you show. The humor you have shows what a wonderful personality you have. (You and your crew) This world doesn’t laugh enough anymore.Thank you for adding a smile to my day. I hope you are here for a very long time. Hello from South Carolina USA. 👋🏼❤️
Oh, & by the way, I love your music content. 🎶
Graeme I appreciate that you want to have your hair how you like it. I did find it a little funny-well, maybe more than a little funny-that when you were talking about how clean the cows were at the fantastic farm, that you were a bit the opposite-😂hoof shavings in your hair & a little disheveled after a hard day’s work! Thank you for your humor and sharing your life with us! Welcome Kev!
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you, Craig, and Kev for all the hard work you all do. I know its not often that we get a long video like this however I thoroughly enjoyed every second. ☺ Have a good one!
That was a huge crack, poor miss moo, hopefully she can fully recover now, that sure is one lovely comfortable farm for the ladies, the ladies look so healthy, well done to the farmer, it’s great to see, and great job Graham, Craig and Kevin, you all work so well together, thank you for posting, and take care guys.👍💙🐄
It’s so refreshing to see family working together. Looking forward to seeing Kevin grow as part of the team.
So interesting to see Graeme wanting to go and make it on his own, rather than just learn from his step dad and now he is basically doing the same thing
You guys look like you have so much fun at work. I wish we can have more bosses like you to learn from! I love the banter too!
The positive energy that comes off you enlightens the video even more. This is one of handful channels that I truly enjoy watching! The music is comforting as well. Keep up the good work and content!
Thank you for the extra long video. I know it means extra work on you on so many levels but us the viewer really appreciate and enjoy it, that's why we watch! I'm glad your back and I hope Kevin enjoys his new place among the stars on RUclips! Love to you and all of your family. As usual it's a delight to watch you guys at work!
What Wade said!
@@RICDirector me too!
I love these longer videos… the soundtrack is awesome, the scenery… amazing. Thank you for the extra work on this one! 🥰
Gotta say, I just love how happy you are in all your videos, it's impossible to watch without smiling! You treat all these cows so wonderfully! Bless you for all you do
Just been carving out some maggotty bits from my Bramley apples and my thoughts immediately turned to you and your excavations of that hoof crack. A maggot hole looks so small on the outside but when you track it back to the core you lose nearly all the apple! Still what's left makes a great apple chutney! Ok I'm weird! LOL
The blades look like they worked very well for you.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video!!! Reminds me of your older ones, full of a little bit of everything wonderful! I know it takes forever to edit the longer videos, but thanks so much for such an amazingly long one this time. Literally tears in my eyes at how much joy this brings me. You guys are all so wonderful together. Excited for Kev’s hoof trimming course and his addition to the team. Can’t wait for more shenanigans and adventures!
When you were petting that cow it made me smile because I realized if I was doing your job one of the biggest drawbacks for me is I would want to pet every cow that came through the crush.
I really believe you when you say that you care about working for these cows' wellbeing. I trust that if anything scandalous would happen at a farm, that I would want to hear out your perspective because I trust that you wouldn't outright lie to your audience. Things happen, so I always thank you for taking the time to explain and educate.
There have been actual mistakes videoed on this channel, and mishaps with the cows. That shows just how honest Graham is.
I am fascinated watching your videos. My grandfather was a dairy farmer in Michigan. USA. I was under 10 years old when he passed away, so I don't remember much about farm life. I certainly never realized the cows got hoof care. Thank you for the passion , professionalism and humor you bring to your videos.
The reason again to why I enjoy your youtube page is that you are all good folk, even when teasing one an other, we need more good folks like you all. Greetings from Canada.
Sole Fracture! I could tell it was in the center near the heel, so it wasn't anything in the white line. ...For a second, when Graeme said "toe necrosis" I had a moment of saying "wow, could I possibly be that wrong?" Happily, no. Nice to see a good long one, and hello to Kev-boy!
Congratulations Kevin and welcome to the HGP Crew. Thanks for showing us the farm and behind the scenes. Proper maintenance makes everything flow better. Also congrats on expanding the house - that’s always a good thing. Cheers mates.
I really love how GP can have a laugh with everyone, and that they all love each other!! I hope Kevin will stick around for a long time.
I got cancer that's why i watch you and your brother in law Work together on those poor cows what a relief those poor cows must feel
Welcome back Graeme and Craig! I hope y’all enjoyed your vacations…holidays! Welcome to Kevin!
Graeme you truly are blessed! I love how some of the cows come and check on those in the crush!
I love how you genuinely care and love the cattle!!! They say if you do what you love, you never have to work a day in your life. It's obvious that you love what you do!
The extreme cases make interesting videos, but it's good for people to understand that they are exception rather than the rule. So, it's good every so often to see the more routine cases.
Just wanted you to know that when I’ve had a bad day it always makes it better to watch you and your brother in laws. 😊
Glad to see I’m NOT the only one! He’s doing more than hoof trimming here… just don’t think he KNOWS that he’s doing all the other GREAT work! Thank you HGP!!!
You guys work hard and have so much fun at the same time. Your respect for the farmers is great, and it's great how you share with us how well they care for their cows in spite of the occasional problem. You are all so friendly and down to earth I would love to bring my daughter to Scotland for a visit. Keep up the great work!
Ahhh yes 30mins of the hoof gp 💜💜
It’s not everyone that really enjoys what they do for a living but it shows on your face every time I watch you all😉
G'day from Australia, love watching your videos. You need to come down under and visit with your family 👪
One of my favorite bits of your videos is your opening song. It's amazing.
Welcome Kelvin! What a great team you all are!
Great to see Craig join the team!
I fully understand your concern about giving a false impression of how many problems you see. Have you thought about putting a tally up on screen at the end of your videos? Something like:
60 trimmed
52 routine trims
7 minor issues
1 xyz problem
Just a thought 😊
I love the rapport you guys have together and I love seeing how well the girls are treated. Thanks for letting us share your lives.
Glad to see u all doing so well.I remember the start of this journey and u look so much happier.I’m so glad that life is working out for you 🏴🏴🏴🐂🐂🐄🐄🐄
I love those beautiful healthy cows. Thanks for pointing out the positive things about modern dairy farms.
Awesome seeing the family buisness booming and I really enjoy your longer videos
It's great that you kept the business in the family. I also like the explanation of cleaning the equipment before you leave a property. It shows that you do all you can to help keep the cows safe and protect a farmers business.
You know you've reached folks when I don't even have a farm, or farm friends, but just love the energy from these videos and the personality. Thank you!!
I love watching HGP, he’s always in such a sweet, positive, energetic mood - it makes me smile. 😊 Thank you, guys, for showing the beautiful Scottish country during the changing seasons. I’m from Alabama, USA, but my ancestors were Scottish highlanders. Thank you for your hard work on the show. ❤
I still don't know I your videos ended up on my feed a year ago but I'm loving this and definitely worth watching!
I like the part where Graeme was talking to us about blades and Craig was just chilling right behind him staring at the camera 😂😂😂 good stuff man, I love HGP videos. They're so relaxing
I don't know why I started watching your channel.
I'm not a farmer. My dad was, though.
It's great to see how you take care of the cattle
Keep up the good work!
You shouldn't worry about what some people think about the few bad hoofs when you take of thousands of hoofs monthly! No matter what between you and the ranchers both taking care of the cows and bulls you help making their lives longer in the long run!
Precisely. And I feel that the RUclips community understands the biased view we get when only looking at injured feet. AND were really good about correcting newcomers and bad faith critics about this bias
You have had a haircut now. It looks nice and has to be cooler in the heat. Your love and passion for your job are just amazing. And your helpers are pretty amazing too. I need the coffee recipe
It so satisfying 2 watch u help these sweeties. I'm from America I live in Pennsylvania I'm a 64 yr old woman and found u just by chance and have been watching ever since. I saw a video where u mentioned ur brother's station but I can't remember what it was. Would u please let me no. U and everyone have a wonderful day!
It is no accident you are as successful as you are.
You guys deserve everything.
Thanks for taking us on these journeys with you.
Lovely update & episode
Congratulations on your subscribers count. Been here since 10k + still getting the same enjoyment. The most positive account I follow/watch. Don't EVER change the intro music 🎶. It's YOU 😜
So glad to see both you and your family doing so well. Watching , hate milk +don't even own a cow ! All best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
Woah that looked like it must have hurt bad glad you do a wonderful job trying your best to help animals.
You can tell y'all love your jobs in helping these cows... I hope you and family enjoyed vacay to Cali.. USA
Eleen here from South Dakota USA. I really really like your playlist! I'd like to know the artists? I recently saw the episode about your traffick burn on your hand. I'm happy to know it didn't affect your use of it trimming. I'm glad you have extended the company with Kevin. Craig is going stronger and his sence of humor is coming out nicely. I just love your channel. I'm a permanent fan. Like to hear more from Mrs. GP.
I love seeing the trims, hearing the explanations, and especially love seeing the curious cows poking their faces in view in the background 😆
Excellent video 🙂 👍
