Hey folks - hope you're all fantastic!!!!!

[@karinaasa402]

I´m great ( spelling...?) from Sweden

[@kimberlymoxley104]

Not yet....but I'm getting there!

[@XxxJaneXxx]

Yes thank you…..especially now your getting a book out!!

Hey GP how are you holding up with all the Green Initiatives going on over there? I'm not trying to get political but are things going to affect your business?

[@marias3387]

I'm fine thanks 🙂 Hope you and your family also feel good ❣ From Sweden with Love 🤗

[@mariehindriks2191]

Love how the cow looks back at you after the trim is done. I think they know that you just made their feet more comfortable and are thanking you by looking back before leaving. I love and really enjoy watching your videos; from NB Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️

[@westzed23]

I agree. From Red Deer AB 🇨🇦🐃

[@randallsmerna384]

Or it might be that the cow is looking back to memorize the face so that next time it catches him alone she'll trample him! 😂😂😂😂😂

They're looking back and thinking, "What was that?!!"

[@musicjunkie9755]

So I'm not a farmer or in anyway associated with animals. I had no idea that I would find these so satisfying to watch. Your passion for the care of these cows really shows. Thanks for the great content.

I love it when the cows turn around after testing out their new trim. Saying “thanks for the help and relief “. What great feeling that must be.

[@TJay41]

I don’t know anything about the hoof length, but I can tell that is far from normal

[@RageOfTheTiger]

She did seem quite relieved

[@lavishlyvice]

if anything that cow is grateful this guy finally did the one thing its owner should have had taken care of AGES ago. it's going back to its life wading through feces until something else gets infected or overgrown again, like every other cow on this guys channel.

[@rikcab]

*I was going to write that!* 🤣

[@timharris3203]

Graham where is your eye protection? You lose your sight you lose your job of taking care of all those cow’s. I found the HGP by accident and have been watching all your videos, and a few of the other shows like the HGP. Yours by far is the best one, and I look forward to your next video so remember, safety first. For you and the crew along with the 🐂🐂🐂

[@HansLasser]

Was just thinking that too!

[@zootybeano]

First thought I had too.

[@omaroliblish]

I am reminded of the line, "A stitch in time saves nine." When simple problems aren't caught and changed, one problem layers on another problem and it gets to something like you have in this video. I am sincerely hoping you can find your way through to a workable repair, even if it takes multiple trims to get there. I am glad you explain that this cow had an ankle infection that started distortion. For her, the result was uncomfortable but comfort can be restored to a large degree. That was a pretty normal walk when she got out out of the crush. Nice work.

[@niemanfamily]

KZbin needs a HEART button just for the HoofGP. Your content is better than any network programming. Please keep up the wonderful videos. ❤️❤️

I love it when you show the girls walking after their pedicure!

[@arlene1483]

So cute how she backed out of the crush! Good thing there was no oncoming traffic! Love, love, love your curls….wish you’d wear eye protection.

[@58jennypenny]

I always think that look back at you after you've sorted their feet out is a thank you.

[@diane9247]

I like how she stops and turns around to look at you..."Hey, thanks, man!"😄

[@jacbear6658]

Wow great trim you can actually still see the cow lifting her leg higher, compensating for the overgrowth. Im sure she’s happy you helped her

[@jewlbunny]

So glad she's walking better. It was nice to see her realize, "That normal feeling I get from my foot as of late isn't there anymore. I feel so much better." It's just so nice to see her reaction like that.

[@loriw2661]

I always love to see the girls turn around when you’re done helping them. I believe they can feel the difference and look back to figure out what just happened to make things better. If a cow could say thank you, this is the way they’d do it. 🐄❤️🐄

[@adabellerodriguez7172]

It brought tears to my eyes when she took a few steps, realized how different she felt and stopped to turn around and looked as if to "thank you".

[@pheebs887]

I love that you talk directly with the farmer about why and how the cow's claw contorted that way! You change these cow's lives for the better making them more comfortable.

[@conniepfannerstill817]

Hopefully the farmer will now take better care of this cow and others in his care.

[@doreenfrench7795]

What you do to help these cows is wonderful!!

[@winston2006100]

Graham, I LOVE your videos and how caring you are towards the animals! You do a fantastic job and those cows are lucky to have you in that beautiful area. I wish you'd wear your eye protection more often tho... all that debris flying around is an eye injury waiting to happen! Don't make me come over there and give you a 'seeing to' ! LOL....seriously tho.... EYE PROTECTION PLEASE... all the time! The cows need you !

Someone needs to help me because I can’t figure it out. I can’t stop watching these hoof trimming videos, I’m mesmerized. I send them to my brother and he thinks I’m nuts.

[@KerrikkiLurgan]

When you first put the grinder to the overgrown horn, my thought was " where in that overgrowth is the foot?" I was concerned that you may cut into it trying to alleviate the overgrowth. But all of my knowledge of cattle feet comes from watching you and I knew you would take care of her. That you.🙂

[@brendahouston7830]

This cow is getting happier by the second

[@deborahsturrock8543]

I just love the way they stop and look back as if to say “thank you.”

[@Starsview72]

After watching one of your videos about a dairy farm that makes Millionaire Shortbread ice cream, I looked it up. Been making the non-ice cream version and it has become everyone’s favorite. Also, it has become my favorite story to tell how I found out about it 😂

[@brendahouston7830]

That's OK you can fix anything. Do people ever ask to bring a single cow to you? Do you ever go to small farms with 1-10 cows? How is the bull that lost the whole bottom of his hoof. I cried when he couldn't get up. It was so heat wrenching. I was so afraid he would have to be put down, but like always you fixed him up. Thank you for what you do.

[@TheMrCC21]

As much as hoof trimmers want to, they can't fix everything. That's the reality of it. When they can't fix it, they try to keep them as comfortable as possible with each visit. Between visits, some farmers do the best they can to keep them comfortable.

[@westzed23]

Graeme bought a second crush. This one. It's small enough that he can operate it on his own. Now he can go to farms to check out individual cows and fix them up, or work emergency calls, or do rechecks. Then he can catch up with Craigie and brother-in-law to continue working the regular herds. 🐃🐄🐂💜

[@azoreaneve4777]

So sweet, how she looks back at you, Graeme…as if to say: “Dude…how did you do that? Feels great - Thank you”. Like so many others have said…you’ve really got us hooked, Graeme. It’s like Veterinary Biology meets Detective work meets Art form. And all underlined with your care and concern for these bovine beauties, and your clients. This isn’t a job…it’s a calling, like Nursing or being a Vet. You have to be willing to put up with a lot of crap (in your case, manure) but you do it because you know you can make a difference. Well Done !

If they were obtained at auction it can often happen. Places that breed them can often not worry too much about them as they only have them for short term and it will be the farmer's problem.

It seems to me that you and your hoof trimming team are getting a little lax about safety matters.

Is this usually the result of new cattle coming into the farm? I can’t imagine this not happening due to neglect whether malicious or not. Of course it’s rare but makes me wonder why it does occur.

[@mokko759]

There have been other cases he's done with severely neglected/infected/malformed hooves on cattle that had been recently purchased as a lot. Cows that are purchased in such a fashion often are the products of a farmer going out of business or a less than ethical farmer just selling off problem cases instead of paying to have the appropriate care. This is like buying a horse at an auction: you're going to get a lot of glue nags because people just want to get rid of their "problems" instead of appropriately dealing with them. And sometimes, you just get a cow that escapes detection or capture for a long time. Can't trim a cow if you can't catch her for whatever reason.
