I love how the other cows came for a nosy and then waited for her so they could go back to their beds together ❤
It was like they knew she had been in the crusher for a longer than normal time and needed to check on and comfort her.
Cows really are lovely animals, friendly and curious as a matter of course
Eeedeerr⁵
Very social. 😊
OHH!!! FRAN! i love what he did with your nails there girl MOOOOOOO oOIOOOH!!!
When you made the intro and said 'Every cow behind me is lame' My brain was just like... "Ah, another rescue farm, how nice!" xD Glad that wasn't the case :P All cows deserve good lives with good food and good feet
Gram: Every cow behind me is lame, except this one.
Me: WTF WENT WRONG HERE?!?!
Gram: Whoops I said that the wrong way around.
Me: Damn it Gram!
I was thinking the same! Like what they all walked through nails, sharp rocks, barbed wire, and then walked on cobblestones!?!?
Then I realized he just pulled a me, and all is ok.
No seriously at my work when someone messes up what they’re saying they say they “pulled a roe” 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I think the farmer puts aside the lame ones and he does them all on one go sometimes
Ye got yer tang a wee bit tongled up, there, Bub!
I love the cow cam. It gives people a chance to see, she's not mooing like mad, she's not thrashing about. She's just waiting patiently because she knows she will be out soon. ❤️ She may not realise you're helping but she will figure it out when she walks away. They must know on some level that they walked in really hurting and then walked out feeling much more comfortable.
Dairy cows sort of get used to being messed about with as they are in and out of the milking parlour all day being milked. As the inquisitive cow showed they don't fear the crush or the trimmers because they know they are not in danger or going to get hurt. In fact, dairy cows produce so much milk it is relaxing for them to get milked and they get fed at the same time which they also enjoy so entering a steel walkway and then being restrained is just part of their life which, as odd as it may seem, has some quite positive psychological elements to it.
Beef cattle though are quite the opposite as they are not frequently handled that way and prone to struggling violently in a crush and then often collapse onto the floor of the crush as their feet skid from under them. For this reason we only ever got our beef cattle into a crush to give medication or treatment and then for the bare minimum of time. Generally beef cattle don't get their feet trimmed.
She was stressed out by the crush though. Cows only dribble like that when they're stressed/anxious
@@brianthesnail3815 wouldn't it make more sense to condition them to being walked through walked ways and through a crush? Maybe not everyday, but often enough that it doesn't cause injury to themselves or the humans who take care of them? Not judging, genuinely asking because I don't know anything about cows other than what I see on this channel.
@@junoantaresofficial I think you are asking about conditioning beef cattle by getting them to walk through walkways and crushes so they get used to it?
Not really. Beef cattle don't get touched for months on end, mostly they live in fields or in big yards as a herd. They aren't frightened of their handlers, they will actually come very close and lick you. Making them walk about through gangways and generally pushing them about would just cost money and time and stress. They are generally calm when kept as a herd but get stressed when separated and restrained and it isn't really possible to get them used to that like a cow that gets milked every day of its life. Best to just minimise handling beef cattle. They are kept under a quite different form of husbandry than milking cows.
I've owned beef cattle for many years and agree with you whole heartily, beef cattle are completely different. Most of the time the least little thing can scare them, and giving them medicine is a real treat in it's self. They will maul you in a second if they get a chance, because I know of several people that have lost their lives from a pet that got scared and either stomped them to death, or gored them. Either way it's an awful way to go. Just wanted you to know there is someone out here that agrees with you.
Graeme that is possibly the most detailed, hardest trim I've seen you do. Thank you for explaining it so well.
Looking forward to Calmcow hopefully it too will be a smashing success.
At first I thought it would be like weed for cows. Or CBD oil for cows or something. Why not?
That looked like an incredibly hard trim. I have always wondered how much your arms and hands hurt at the end of a long day. Great job getting to the root of the problem.
I was 45 when I took my first holiday away from where I live. I came to Scotland, particularly Ayrshire. For the first time in my life, I felt totally at home and that feeling has never left me. As often as I could, I came back and to this day I long for that feeling I had there in Scotland since traveling is so difficult for me now.
I feel the same in Edinburgh yet my distant family is from the highlands
I'm in The States, ladies. I'd love to travel to Scotland God willing.
@@suzannehettinger5198 I live in Alabama which is a far cry from Scotland. One day, like you said, God willing.... Hope you make it.
I am from the US and my husband works with a lady that visited Edinburgh and she and her husband bought a house in Dunfurmland. She has offered it to us any time we want so we are planning a visit there some day soon! My husband thinks I’m crazy for watching this RUclips channel but it is so interesting to me. I am a pharmacist so it is very satisfying for me to watch.
I would cut off my arm if it meant I could go visit Scotland! My whole life, I have wanted to go see the UK, but I fear I will not be able to. I'm 70, and can't afford much. These videos are my consolation. I love how much Graeme loves the animals!
Edit: I, too, am in the states. Southern California, but right now it feels like North Alaska! It's been snowing a lot, and this past weekend Los Angeles had a blizzard. It's painfully cold!
I have a love/hate relationship with this channel.
I love your videos so much I just watch 1 after the other until an hour (or more) has past where I should be sleeping, and then I hate my alarm clock even more in the morning 😂
But seriously I found your channel a few months ago and now I can't get enough. Especially with how much you care about the cows and use the videos to educate the world 💖
I just love cows. Seeing them come right up to their mani-pedi machine is adorable. It's good for them to associate with it without fear.
I honestly think that when they're lifted into the crush with no feet on the ground, the cows get tremendous relief from their sore foot/ feet. I know it feels good to my feet when after being on them all day it helps just to get off of them and prop my feet up! I also just about fell out when you said your intro before correcting yourself lol! Keep us updated on her progress, I know it's like to know how she's doing!
I love to see the cows going out of the crush. First careful steps head down and then they realise the foot is better and the head and even the ears go up and looking more happy and they start moving faster
One of the best commentaries I've seen in a while! I like how you took a lot of time to describe in detail what you were doing. Great trim as always ❤
She's so calm she can feel you helping her
I just want to hug every sad cow they have beautiful faces
Thank you Graeme for all you do. Thank you Craigie Boy!
So good to see you helping the cows in these videos😁
I am so happy to hear you are taking a dive to help people and their mental health in a way you can. Our world sadly has a large stigma against mental health issues. The more people normalize getting help, taking a moment and expressing that need for some personal recovery will help. Even if it is to take a moment and listen to a melodic voice and watch some amazing landscapes that little could help someone immensely. Keep being your amazing self.
I live on a small Island in Eastern Canada and I know EXACTLY what you mean by finding an unexplainable peace and calmness at the ocean. BUT, I don't have a cool red jumpsuit. 😁 Love your videos ❤️
Looks like there are a few of us from Atlantic Canada
Hello nice to see im not the only canuck that's part of the herd im in western Canada
Ontario adding to the Crazy Canuck Count !
Calmcow sounds like something perfect for me. I am under a lot stress because of stage 4 cancer. With all the chemo and therapies, the days are rough.
Love your videos and so happy to see the help you give the cows under your care.
Bless you.
I remember those miserable days. Hugs to you and wishing you the very best. 💖
@@Asti.pronouncedAhstee thank you.
So sorry.
Many prayers for you. I too have stage 4 cancer. Was a total shock. Treatment is brutal and you learn just how strong you are when you don’t really have any other choice. Hugs
@@Kenda1969 Hugs to you.
She was so good for you while you made her sore foot more comfortable. She's so pretty. I never really thought much of cows before I watched your channel but now I really appreciate them. They are beautiful animals. The bulls are too.
So calm and quiet with the sparrows chirping and the cow is so gentle and trusting!
My eyes started closing I started dozing off and I’m trying to pay attention to the injury.
I love how calm she is. Just hanging out, waiting patiently for you to finish. And her friends are hanging out for moral support!
Also, did someone knit that hat for you? It looks wonderfully cozy!
Once your full app is presented, I’m definitely going to want it, thank you so much! The idea behind it is exactly what is needed! The cost of progress shouldn’t be our mental well-being and just *hearing* the gentle sea during your discussion of the app was glorious ♥️
Poor little thing. I find myself looking for how these cows hold their heads as they walk, just to see if I can see something.
You are teaching all of us who'd really enjoy doing a job like this but for one reason or another cannot.
The very best job I ever had I kind of fell into as a farm hand of my bosses quit and I volunteered to take care of their horses until they got a replacement.
I ended up keeping that job, I loved it so much. It was so calm and quiet and you become so attached to the animals and grow to admire how brilliant and beautiful they are.
I watched the farrier shoe them and helped the vet with care.
I felt such a kinship with the horses and silent deep communication. Now I'm too old and infirm to do it but I'll never forget how wonderful the experience was, even cleaning out the stalls.
Thanks for bringing those feelings back to me when watching you and these beautiful animals.
❤️🐄
What a sweetheart, to be so still, like she knows you’re helping her
Graeme you're awesome! I absolutely love love how you care for the cows!! Thank you for being there for them.
I had no clue what was wrong with the cow's hoof, but I was confident you fella would take care of it! 😊 Thanks for sharing.
Well, you just made my jaw drop to the floor! So glad that you said that backwards and there was only 1 cow lame. :D Well done, that looked really difficult to do. And .. 'good cow'! :)
I not sure why I love these videos but I could watch all day long. I love to listen to you talk the accent is amazing. thank you
When ever I think of Scotland I think of crags and lochs. Seeing the forest reminds me once again how beautiful Scotland is. Thank you!
I love how when she's going back her friend is there and given the eye to Craigie Boy! Has she just stared him down until she got past and into the group and then backed up herself still staring at him. I love how cows actually all animals have personalities we just don't get to see it that often is all.
Love the two cows coming over and chillin with you! Theyre great animals, just like big, slobbery dogs. Awesome video, and looking forward to the app! Thank you!
Your seascape is a mirror image to the one I grew up with on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada... can smell that air now... Keep up the fantastic work!
Graeme, No wonder that cow was in pain...poor love😢
So glad you're the one fixing her hoof.🤗
Can’t wait for Calm Cow! My husband is from Glasgow. We live in Chicago and try to get over to Scotland every year. I really love it.
We appreciate you taking care of these cows 😇😇😇💖💖💖👍👍👍
Graeme, it’s so true. Being seaside does wonders for the soul: being mesmerized by the sight & sound of the waves; the air filled with the smells of saltwater; the cry of a seagull. It’s magic. (Scotland is magic) I was lucky enough to grow up about an hour away from the ocean in the Pacific Northwest of the US. One is hard pressed to find a more spectacular area.
I’m very much looking forward to the full launch of your app. Wow, you’re very ambitious and what a great idea. It will also be wonderful for your kids to have your stories in such a unique format.
Bravo! 👏👏👏 ♥️✨♥️
For me, in the absence ofxa sunny hillside filled with the sound of all the birds in the blackberry bushes, it's rivers. Preferably fishing.
Water really does do wonders for the soul! I've lived within a few miles of water (the PNW for eleven years and Lake Michigan for another five) for most of my life. I don't think I could possibly live landlocked now.
Lucky for this cow you are there to help her. Love & prayers for this special girl.
Awesome job!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you for helping these animals that are in pain!
much love from ontario canada 🇨🇦 ❤️
Another Ontario fan :)
I don't recall seeing such an injury before - placed in that area. Something new and unusual - thank you for taking us through the process.
The fact that you could spot that problem that was so hidden between the two hoofs is amazing! That's one lucky lady!
I grew up in the country-- so I know how calming nature can be: standing in the middle of the woods, the breeze playing through the trees; your mind drifting high up and far away with it. I can't wait to check out the app, just to appreciate someone else's calm space; their heart's home. I adored seeing the other cow come over to investigate the crush-- they're curious little ladies, and clearly care for one another! It's always a treat to see a new video from you.
You know, one of the best things about your videos (I've been here for years now) is the camera work. Whoever does it is a credit to you. Such a good team.
greetings from uzbekistan 🤝
What a relief for this young lady!! You did a fantastic job making her comfortable enough to walk out better than she first walked into the crush.
I always enjoy your videos, and I am very curious to see the follow-up on the progress of the young cow with keritan fingers.
She was so calm. I think she new she was in good hands. Great video.
Dang, that was a heck of a trim!
....also I think that's the first time I've ever seen a cow yawn, and it was way cuter than I was prepared for.
These poor girls. I'm glad you're there for them. 😊
WOW ! I never thought I'd be hooked on cow hoof trimming videos.
Poor baby🤦🏼♀️💜🙏🏼👏🏼🤩you can help her Graeme I trust in you 150% 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I find listening to the hoof gp playlist (music from your videos) Is the thing that helps me relax and calm/destress , This was the original reason for my subscription to your channel, but I've come to very much enjoy seeing your work and look forward to each video now, Thanks for sharing your life with us Graeme.
That shot of the cow's face when she's in the crush, she looks perplexed. Completely unsure what is going on & how to feel about it but also calm.
Animals are intelligent & humans must confuse most if not all of them. So many cows must see you & your crush as a good, bizarre but good. They don't know alot about what is going on, but the ones in serious pain, know you did something to make it hurt less.
Some trims make more of a difference than others, even just between the lame. They step out all timid & cautious, after having had a break from the pain while that hoof is off the ground. It's always a pleasure to see those first timid steps, gain in confidence with the realisation it doesn't hurt or if it does no where near as much.
I live with extreme pain daily, I know what we do to alleviate pain is try & transfer weight else where. Which in turn can create more issues. I know after procedures to eliviate pain the feeling of no pain is beyond amazing. It's an awesome experience.
Thanks for serving us a new portion of The Hoof G P.
I love that the cow came over to check on her friend!
Ok so I've been watching diligently for 3 years now. I totally missed that one! Love that u teach us in every video!
I at first thought the problem was the black spots in the white line in the top right lateral claw or the bottom left of the medial claw. As the trim went on i had no clue 😅 glad that the problem was obvious and the cow is on the road to recovery ❤
can we get a recap on this cow when you return be good to see the progress she makes 🙂
The grinder that you used today sounded like a dentist's drill. I hate my dental appointments, but I love your videos. Thanks.
I was pleasantly surprised that I knew where the injured area was. I guess I have learned a lot from watching you. ❤
She was being such a sweetheart!
It is the most satifying thing watching the grinder shape the hoofs.😍
Every time I've been to Scotland I have been convinced I was in heaven. Thank you for the view from the beach!
Im not sure about everybody else but just listening to to talk or listening to your brother talk is my mellow place
My job is every stressing
Yours video relax me
I loved how her friends came back to find out why she was t coming out with them! Cows are so social and such wonderful sweet creatures…
I was so freaked out when he said they were ALL LAME! I thought someone needs to report the owner!! Also I thought this had to be a multiple part series to see them all get help! Lol
Your a awesome cow hoofer Gareth. Your work is awesome
Love the sounds of the birds in the back ground
That's quite a different problem than we've seen before. I like how you get to the root of the problem. That principle applies to most life problems!
Thank-you for all you do and sharing with us.
Oh, the poor little girl! Thank you for the care, love and respect you show to all you care for, Grahae.
Coming out she was sore but not like going in! Great job. Love that her friends came to visit!
Just finished your podcast and sit here with tears shining in my eyes. You know how to tell a tale and I was climbing that hill with you.
Later when you spoke of the McFadgen (forgive my spelling,) farm, it's beauty and him being "rich in life" it touched my heart.
We often don't stop to appreciate what's around us and what we've really got that is worth everything but money. This was a beautiful reminder. Please keep making the podcast, it was truly lovely. Thank you. ❤️
I am not very good with technology. Could someone explain how I can listen to Graeme telling us about his life.
Thank you.
In truth, due to the daily life and average numbers of cows you normally attend to between all the farms you work for, I was expecting there would be more examples and variety of conditions.
Happy to see that the numbers are actually lower than my expectations.
I hope Graeme can help heal her up. ❤🐄❤
A very good Thursday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset
Sir, you are more informative than you realize. It's quite evident you care about what you do. The calm cow app. shows your kindness to others and your realization of your good fortune. I would be honored to call you a friend.
Terrific video from start to finish! The new venture looks great.
Excellent piece of surgery Graeme I'm sure the girl will feel better soon xxx
Discovering this channel has been such a relief for me. I’m in awe of your knowledge, skill and care for the cows. I watch every day and it has been wonderful for my mental health.
I failed and got the wrong claw, LOL. I really think she was so calm because she somehow knew you were helping her. I really like the idea of your app. It is something I would enjoy listening to. I'm actually going to be in Scotland in a few months. How lucky would I be if by chance I ran into you? :) Much love to you and your family
I am amazed at your patience when using the knife on cases like this.
Another well presented video, calm, kind and utterly caring. 😊
I like watching your show! My dad milked cows in America, I don’t remember him checking the hooves. I like when you show your sons & wife!
Thank you for the calm cow app🌺🙏🏻💕💕💕and for sharing the beautiful seascape
I just listened to your first calmcow and it was very enjoyable. Thank you for the sweet memory you shared. That was a great idea!!!
You're such a blessing to these ladies.
Well done Graeme!
Glad to see that you wrapping up the hoof.
Oh bless her, she's really avoiging walking on her heel. I'm looking forward to seeing her progress
Thank you for offering the calmcow app. I am very happy to join and hear your stories.
Not going to lie the mistake in the intro horrified me, thankful it was just a mistake! Looking forward to a full release of Calm Cow, it sounds like a great idea
What a difficult job! Thanks for taking us with you!
These videos are very informative.
She is such I sweet cow. Glad you were able to help her🥰
Thank you Graeme. Can’t wait to check out your website.
I love the ocean too. I can sit for hours just watching the waves.
Have a great wknd.
I love Calm Cow!! What a great idea! I’ll live vicariously through you as my family is from Ireland and Scotland but I’ve never been to either. Hope you had a good time at the Ag Expo! 🐄
That poor girl. That was a huge trim. Well done!
See? All curiosity aside, your cows do look back & come back to say, "Thank You for helping me and my friends❤"
Really thought was a toe problem with the dark area but then thought that’s just pigmentation, then thought it might be a problem where the hoof and hair meet glad I was wrong you were right because you are the hoof Gp
Great video great shout out to cowcalm if you have an update as to cost of future episodes that would be good , glad you had a great time in California it’s a fantastic place to be x
Just ordered the download for the first CowCast… can’t wait to listen tonight. Thank you so much for making this.
For tricky jobs, like this, would a dremmel (type of small grinder / that hasn't been invented yet) be useful?
Calm Cow sounds amazing! I am, unironically, relaxing before bed watching this video, so I’ll check it out more tomorrow.
