FIXING a HOLE in this COWS FOOT

[@BlondiNativeAme3]

Charlie is a fast learner for his age. I'm impressed he has so many cows of his own to take care of. Nice work Charlie!

[@fannymorein]

That intro song never fails to get me in a good mood, no matter how terrible my day has been so far ❤️

[@juliewright4172]

Me to up beat

[@trudy__taylorandjorjamummy]

Same!

[@shaunrandall8538]

The full version is amazing

[@69virgin1966]

I couldn't agree with you more.

[@marsene5919]

Ditto!

[@danielbaer2319]

The mark of a master of their trade, is the ability to teach complex ideas and techniques in a simple manner. You did very well in passing on your knowledge.

[@skippymagrue]

He's had lots of practice with us! 😊

[@munirahbakar4123]

When you listen, you know When you read, you understand When you teach, you master

[@Fine_i_set_the_handle]

if you cant explain something simply you dont really understand it. einstein said that

[@littleredhairedgirlsteph3922]

He seems like he's a teacher at heart.

[@mokko759]

Charlie is delicate and diligent with that grinder. Sure, he's taking a bit longer because he's not as aggressive just yet but that just means he's careful and wants to do the job right. He's on the right path.

[@CrimFerret]

Doing it right and not hurting the cow is the important part. Speed will come. As was pointed out, different parts of the hoof have different hardness levels and learning how much pressure to put on the grinder or knife is something that has to be learned by practice and feel. Those knives are razor sharp. Having one slip off a hard part of the hoof when you weren't prepared could easily gash you or the cow.

[@Coffeeology]

Soon we will have "Charlie the hoof trimmer" channel to enjoy

[@StoicObserverS]

Agree !100%!

[@jasonwhite8758]

Charlie has a good mentor for learning good trimming.

[@robertbarnes5839]

GP ...That is so very kind of you to share your skill with this young lad. Too often today ....young people don’t have good mentors so flounder trying to find their way. What your doing will resonate with this young man for his entire life. Thank you for your kindness.😊

[@brucebanner5073]

Good to see a young lad interested in this type of industry, great knowing hes get the best information from the best team, good work.

[@someonerandom6379]

Well done Charlie, it’s so important that we encourage and teach younger people. The agricultural industries are desperate for people to enter the workforce, but a lot of people these days don’t want the long hours, hard physical work and being out in all weathers so I love to see young people who are keen.

[@pattiesidlick4658]

How wonderful that farmers feel that you are the best teacher for their workers. To be able to give them the knowledge that will help in their daily routines must make you feel like a true mentor.

[@Wendy-cj5yz]

Well done Charlie. Tough enough having a go with the tools without being ‘watched’ by a crowd. Great to see an 18 year old so interested. We all have to pass the skills on to those who will come next.

[@bencowley6013]

I have nothing to do with farming or cattle, but I am addicted to watching your videos

[@SB8-8]

"Kids" asking questions is the best thing ever!!! Helping the next generation of hoof trimmers💗 So awesome!!!!

[@nancyestes7506]

The trainees are bound to be good trimmers.They are lucky to have a great teacher.

[@PK-oy4fe]

I just have to say I think your amazing. When I was a new nurse, an older, very experienced nurse took me under her wing and taught me an amazing amount of knowledge a book cannot teach....and you are doing the same! ❤🩺

[@dorifrance4937]

It is awesome that you provide a mentorship for your customers’ employees. This gives them confidence and also a person they can go to. I know you mentioned in another video you get comments about giving your information to others for free, but this shows how much you care about the day to day care your customers give their cattle, and you and your customers want to give the best care possible. Plus, you are teaching a skill to Charlie that he can grow in.

[@suecardilini1806]

It’s fantastic that you are willing to educate the next generation of dairy farmers, and Charlie learnt a lot. 🐄🐄

[@cherylpryde3092]

Brilliant work Charlie. You’re a great student. Much success as you go forward in life.

[@bcgrote]

Knowing what he's seeing "under the hood" will help him catch when cows are starting to hurt. Good work, Charlie!

[@lydiadillard4417]

I love that you are just as eager to share your knowledge as you are in taking care of the cows hooves!!

[@chicanitajaquez2678]

This world 🌎 needs more mentors like you😊 Your patience and explain every step clearly Please keep me posted on Charlie’s future and progress

[@cheesepleese_]

Watching Charlie use the grinder is exactly why we need an average person in every Olympic event. Helps keep things in perspective!

[@stephanieloughead4479]

That's wonderful that you are helping other people learn from your skills and experience. This will give Charlie the experience and reassurance that he needs to develop his skills.

[@PowerTom286]

Hello Graeme. We need more of Charlie's kind. He's a nice guy and wants to do the best.

[@mattcunniff5305]

There is nothing more satisfying than passing knowledge to the next generation, especially when they are eager to learn. It's great to give these kids confidence not only for what u are teaching them, but confidence to try other things they may have not thought they could do.

[@loriw2661]

That’s so cool of you to help Charlie. You want to make sure that cows are getting trimmed correctly and not trying to hoard all the business for yourself. There are so many in the world that don’t want to help newcomers learn because they’re threatened by it. Your concern is for the cows.

[@NiaJustNia]

I think even practicing grinding on bits of wood would be good for Charlie to help with his hesitation and confidence with using the grinder in general. He could draw a hoof on some wood too and practice modelling out with the grinder. I think that once you're more confident with the tools you use, you become more confident in doing any job that needs them. Definitely love to see him back and see how he gets on! I can imagine his family at Christmas "Merry Christmas Charlie, we got you the official Hoof GP grinding disk" 😂

[@alistairclement4239]

I wouldn't be surprised, if he was told to practice a bit beforehand.

[@NiaJustNia]

@@alistairclement4239 I imagine it would still be nerve wracking to be told "Right, now for real on this cow". I know my anxiety would be at a million worried about hurting the cow

[@brigidtheirish]

@@NiaJustNia Yeah. My sister tried to teach me how to flip things in a frying pan without using a spatula by using popcorn kernels in a cold pan as practice. Still nerve wracking and I spilled a lot. Then gain, I'm also a klutz.

[@heathermatthews8286]

Charlie did great. He listened well and was very gentle and careful while he trimmed. Im sure he will become a great trimmer. Great job teaching him the ropes!

[@pnwRC.]

It's great that a professional such as yourself isn't scared to take the farm hands out with you, & help them gain some of your knowledge!

[@ruthannjones5873]

I enjoyed watching Charlie learn. Handling the grinder the first time must be so intimidating.

[@jeanatchley2035]

AMEN!!

[@lindasnowden7862]

I love the patience you show when teaching that is one of the best signs of a good teacher. The sign of a good student is lots of questions. I give both an excellent grade.

[@Cricket-zp6wi]

More learning in an apprenticeship than you could ever get from a book or video (no insult intended, Graeme!). It's the way I learned with exotic parrots/birds.

[@shaunallen3966]

It's really awesome that you are getting people used to doing sos trimming . I think that's a great way to expose people to helping cattle.

[@adambradley8645]

Well done Charlie, learn as much as you can, you've got the best teaching you, your a very lucky young man 👍

[@sandramcglinchey7712]

You are a amazing mentor! That’s exactly how my husband is when he teaches his juniors! But different jobs he is a volunteer firefighter in Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸!

[@carrieannglembocki570]

As a teacher... this episode warmed my 💖. And how kind of you to let him clean the crush!

[@babaramckenzie2656]

Great teaching to young Charlie from the Master! I love all of your videos! Y’all have such a funny sense of humor ! My late husband was of Scottish decent, and he was hilarious ! We were married for 20 glorious years before he passed away from cancer. Our daughter and I visited Scotland a year after he passed. We loved it and learned so much about Scotland’s history. Everyone was so friendly! Thank you for entertaining me! Barbara McKenzie

You are a very good teacher Graeme as you obviously love your subject and have great patience. Charlie is a lucky boy to have spent the day with you and Craig.

[@janwilliams3598]

You’re a great teacher! So many people need hands-on learning , and the way you worked with Charlie was awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@NeonManatee]

I'm so proud of Charlie! You can already see that he is learning how to do all the right trimming methods and techniques and it's great to see!

[@JenniferAFagan]

3:56 pm. I live in Strasburg Pa. USA. It is of you to share you skill to the younger generation

[@michele2017promastertravel]

You're such a patient teacher, I'll bet you're a great dad.

[@MrAlgar2000]

Although I have no idea about farming or trimming, I find these videos so interesting and always look forward to the next. Animal welfare is so important and we have a duty to give farm animals the best and most comfortable life we can. (hoof trimming is a vital part of that)

[@louisefulton2267]

That ride along, I'm sure, was a huge help, and the more he dies, the better he will get. It's such a good thing to do for Charlie, building his expertise!

[@CLCIII]

I would rather have a person who learned by apprenticeship, than one who has school or book learning any day. I'm a Charlie myself so I wish him well.

[@kristied1191]

I myself would learn more with an internship and am looking for one. I looked into a couple of the places that teach and the money upfront i just dont have at this time with all thats going on. I was praying to start somehow.

[@skippymagrue]

It's true. You can only learn so much from a book. I keep bees and I have learned from several different sources, but the most effective is doing it.

[@pnwRC.]

100% agreed!

[@CLCIII]

@@kristied1191 Kristie, I hope that you soon find exactly what is just right for you. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!

It is so uplifting seeing you share your knowledge with others in person! I am a teacher and the sharing of knowledge is a gift to everyone! Keep encouraging Charlie and tell Craig he’s still our favorite sidekick! Love from Northeast Texas!

Hi Graeme, Charlie and Craig. makes my heart sing to see you working with junior hoofers!! Humble, Good and Loving teaching, that's the way we do it Graeme. Well Done Charlie !!

[@elizabethharlow6126]

I found your channel by accident... and I LOVE it! I never thought about hooves before and it’s great to see someone who truly loves their job and wants to provide the best the service for these cows and bulls. You make it really interesting for this city girl. Thank you for sharing with the world. I look forward to watching more videos.

[@TheDebbiekitty]

Wow, GP, you are such a good teacher.Among many other things, you are extremely patient AND you explain technique in a way that can be understood so well. Today, I certainly learned more about hoof trimming than I thought I'd ever know!

[@strawberryseed1886]

Y’all are awesome for teaching young Charlie. It’s the only way he’s going to learn and carry on good practices.

[@Dougwoz1]

I have followed you for a year + and your early videos had 10x better video quality then you do now. With mostly close ups and no crap on the lens.

[@caroletimpson-wiltowski3731]

You really do have the patience and exactly the precise manner to make a great teacher. I am sure Charlie was grateful for the lesson!

[@reneek2714]

You can tell you throughly enjoy what you do. You have a passion that is contagious not just in your job but in life. You never fail to brighten my day. Thanks for being you.

[@peteryates60]

It's a testament to you, Graeme (and Craig!) that you take the time and effort to teach young Charlie like this. Let him have a go and get the feel for things, that you don't just jump in and take over but instead let him do it himself. It proves your qualities as a professional, but also as a decent chap. I wish that I had had a teacher with your calm thoroughness and professionalism when I was Charlie's age, doing my apprenticeship (in the car restoration world - I still don't know how I came by your channel!) but I know that I would be a lot better off if I had had a mentor in your style!

[@charleneanderson6237]

You are a good teacher, that's why charlie picked up so quickly! In my opinion!

[@alanwarnerjr7385]

Gram I love these videos. I am a dairy service tech in the US I look at cows and cows feet every day. Thank you for helping understand what I am looking at when I am in a dairy.

[@GallonMilkProductions]

i'm going back through old videos and I think the passing of knowledge and mentoring is one of the most important jobs of people who reach the master level of their crafts/ .

[@LauraE.9897]

Graeme I absolutely loved this video! Its so great that you are investing into the future by guiding this young man in trimming in a caring & thoughtful way for the cow's comfort rather than just hacking away like Ive seen some do. I hope we get to catch up with Charlie again someday to see his improvements & maybe meet other young people that can intern with you for a day or so. I've said it before Graeme & I still believe that in your future is either your own school or seminars you hold where people will come from all over the world to learn your craft the proper way. 🖤🐄🤍🐂🤎

[@maryrinehart2346]

It’s great for you to be sharing your knowledge with Charlie.

[@rundunnyrun]

Glad he’s helping the boy to learn. This show is addicting!

[@Bigben-pz8bx]

I hope Charlie learns your compassion and care for the comfort of the cow

[@jackiest.lawrence3381]

I’m trying to catch up on all of your videos….Charlie is not only a great learner but you are a great teacher!!!

[@purplealice]

I love the way you teach! You know everything down to the tips of your fingers, and you explain in very simple, plain ways what you're doing and why. I'm sure Charles is going to be a fine hoof-trimmer in a few years. Just like the way my grandmother taught me how to make bread, and what the dough looks and feels like when it's perfect 🙂 And cleaning up is what teenage apprentices are for!

[@ianwalker682]

I think it's wonderful how you pass on your knowledge to people interested in doing what you do! Good luck to you Charlie as you learn these skills of the trade.

[@kanebowden7328]

You really have a great way of teaching. I believe that we can learn anything it just takes practice. I'm also very happy to see who you where teaching, you gave this kid a great shot at a life skill. Your a great person. Cheers from Australia.

[@spkgrl]

So nice to see you passing on your knowledge to a new generation of trimmer, and your videos service as a great library of info to learn from!

[@ladyrmarnold5336]

I wish my Animal Science Professor at Uni has been as thorough about explaining hoof problems. Graeme, you are a fantastic teacher!!!

[@cathryntaylor7950]

You are a great teacher and mentor Graeme! Well done Charlie, you're an excellent student and a good sport for being part of the video (and for washing the crush! 😁)

[@kendallricker9633]

Interesting to see the baby step, I am sure Charley will be careful and let the powers to be know if he does come across any major issues. He must have a knowledgeable teacher. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrDwaynePoff]

Pay it forward in your craft! GREAT video!!!! Good to see the next generation up getting involved in a trade!!!!!

[@Isabella-nh5dm]

Charlie is doing well for his 1st day. The way you learn is to ask every single question you have. Sometimes you have a lot to take in an then you need to think it all through in the evening. Then you have 'winner, winner, chicken dinner'. Good for him to want to learn a skill to make him a more valuable employee. On another note, I can't believe you three had to scrape down that area. Had someone showed up at our place they would not have set foot in it to do anything it would have had to be cleaned to excellent standard before they would think of starting. Just the way they roll around here.

[@3ddrew691]

This was an absolutely amazing video. So glad to see you include another worker from one of your clients who wants to help and learn. Shows how much of an amazing person you are. He wanted to learn and the farmer is of course happy to do anything to help his cows, and for you to take him with you and want to have him back is absolutely great. You guys are great. Keep up the videos and hope to see more like this.

GP Thank you for showing the Scotland country side. It is nice to see the region where my ancestors came from.

[@mshafer2006]

Awesome job with Charlie. I was taught my craft in a very much similar fashion. It’s always better in my opinion to learn on the job from people who do it daily than sit in a classroom or online to learn a specialized craft.
