Grame, about the water issue. I've suggested it before, get a couple of lengths of 4inch (10cm) PVC pipe and make water pipes on top of the crush and have an electric fuel pump for a car hooked to them with a hose and shop air gun as a sprayer for some of those deep cracked hooves. Clean what's needed just like using a waterpic tooth cleaner. I used to have an antifreeze jug with a fuel pump inside it and an old spray gun on top and a 12v emergency light battery taped to the side of the jug, it would knock a soda can over from 50 ft away. 3 full sections of PVC pipe on top would probably hold about 50 gallons of water, more than enough for a days trimming.

[@kimrafferty7170]

Hi Graeme, thank you for such a personal video, you had your hands full today but thank you for showing cows who live outside can and do get problems, I personally thought that cows only got dermatitis because of walking in their waste but today I learnt that is not true and no matter what environment they live in problems arise and the cows who are under your care are able to get treated in the very best way possible. I have heard your story of how you lost the farm, going through that at such a young age is never easy but I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason, sometimes it doesn't make sense that anything good can come through such grief and pain but look at you now, your path took you through some awful times but it brought you to where you are today, I am certain your Dad would be so so proud of what you have achieved and the knowledge that you are able to teach so many, so cows around the world are given better treatment and quicker healing. I am not a farmer, I am a housebound grandma who is severely disabled due to spinal damage caused when I was 8 years old when a boy in my class pulled the chair away as I went to sit down - twice - life's lessons are there and it is up to us how we deal with them, be proud of what your Dad taught you and then your stepdad teaching you your trade. Love to you and your family and again thank you for such a personal video xxxx

I'm going to step away from what most people are commenting on and mention that I love the fact that these were beef cattle that you trimmed. So many people think that beef cows are not cared for the same way that dairy cows are. Or that cows in general are not cared for. However, your videos prove the opposite not only because of the work you do. But also because of the passion you show in the work you perform.

I love what you gentlemen do. Graeme, I fully understand what you're feeling about being on the farm you grew up on. When I was 15, my parents split up and my mom, brother and myself moved to town. We had an auction to sell the cows and equipment, the farm was sold. Fast forward about 15 years, my brother and his wife are looking to buy a house. The house and surrounding buildings plus 40 acres of land are for sale. They bought the place. Hadn't been a working farm for years, all the metal stanchions and pipelines in the barn had been stripped out years before. They don't have a herd of cows but, they have a small clowder of outdoor cats they love and take care of. It always feels like home. It's been really great watching them build their lives and family for the last 20-odd years. Lots of new memories for all of us. I apologize for being long winded. I enjoy watching you, Craigie boy and Kevin take such good care of the cows. It also brings fond memories of time spent with my cows when I was young.

This video hit close to home for me. I come from a family of dairy farmers, and growing up spent significant time helping on them. They’re honestly some of my most precious memories. Recently, the last dairy farm in the family-the very one I used to help on-had to be auctioned off because my cousin’s wife filed for divorce and was awarded half the farms value. All the cows and equipment are now gone, and last I heard the farmhouse, barn and all the other outbuildings will be taken down so it can all be converted over to crop fields. My heart still aches over it as it was just a few months back that it all happened. It shouldn’t bother me so as I’m now 60 years old and would never be able to do what I did in my younger years. I don’t even live in the area, but it still brings heartache. I can’t imagine what you felt being back at your family farm. But I’m certain your father would be proud of the life you’ve built, and I hope you find comfort in that thought. Blessings to you, and thank you for sharing your cows with me; it means more than you’ll ever know!

Your father would be proud for sure 💚 Oh and more love to Kevin, sorry 🤭😂 Also sorry for the eventual English mistakes ahah Wishing everyone who read this lots of good things ❤

You, Kevin, and Craig, remind me of my husband and his brothers. They are very close and engage in relentless, good natured ribbing. I have been with my husband for well over 40 years and not once have I seen one of the brothers shy away, get mad or even embarrassed by a good solid ribbing from a brother or 2. They very much enjoy each other's company and their relationship is a beautiful thing to behold. I know those guys aren't actually your brothers, but it couldn't get any better if they were.

[@gingermaisie]

Sorry Graham, but Kevin is very cute, he's just got it, and you haven't! If he were bit taller, and not married - and I was fifty years younger - I'd be travelling to S W Scotland with bunch red roses and a proposal! But seriously, you're all a great team and we love all your video's and the great care you have towards the animals you treat. Lots of love to you all....and to Mrs HGP too and your lovely little family. So glad I was curious enough to take first look at HGP Xx

[@gingermaisie]

PS Oooops apologies I've mis spelt your name Graeme!

[@kevp-m2y]

I never would’ve thought as a 60 year old truck driver from south of England I’d learn so much and appreciate a cows hoof so much. Thank you Graham

[@MrsBrit1]

Hearing you talk about growing up here and losing your father and, with him, the prospect of running this farm yourself, genuinely made me tear up. I didn't grow up on a cattle farm, but I did grow up surrounded by small cattle farms. There were two across from our home and I miss the sights and smell and sounds, the cows lowing on a brisk morning while we waited at the school bus stop, the occasional breakout of a freedom seeker, the horses grazing alongside the Herefords and Holsteins. Something like that really gets into your skin and becomes a part of you, even when you're not the one working the fields and tending the animals. Just existing alongside it is beautiful. I think that's why I'm so drawn to your videos. 💗

[@SandraMcBey]

It is so beautiful there, I had the great privilege to visit Scotland last January and hope it get to go back to visit again. You need to know that your dad would be so proud of the kind man you have begun. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@beanringading3430]

I love when you show the cows' sweet little faces, all of these large babies are so cute and seeing them happy makes my day better!

[@amandapage9404]

Lots of love to all of you lads, Kevin included! I love when you call the cows lass. "Easy lass, you're okay," is such a sweet way to calm these beautiful cows.

[@Rottenrottie14]

Your father would be so proud of you. The caring and integrity you show in each video to every cow. I look forward to every video all the way from USA. Although I did have to look up “pop your clogs”, so sorry for your loss, glad you have great memories.

[@terriannm2683]

He would be soooo proud of you and is always watching over you. Everything happens for a reason. Keep being you. Xo

[@elliemayfield]

I firmly believe you are exactly where you were meant to be. Helping those around you and uplifting spirits, and mocking friends from a valley who don't understand tsunamis - lovingly.

[@darlenekozlovskis6907]

What an absolutely beautiful country you have. I am sorry you lost your dad so young, my mom was 53 when she died of lung cancer, my dad dropped dead at 67. What you do is beautiful for the animals. New fan here!!!

[@ginaanelli9717]

DAD is watching over you ! Great job! Love this cow community! From here in America! 😊🐄❤️

[@jeannierickard8504]

Graeme I am sure you make your father very proud. You have a beautiful family, and a job that has created one heck of a life. You have taken hoof trimming to whole new heights with all of the products, and teachings you do for the industry. If you were my son I would be proud of the man you have became, and I only see the parts you let us see. Cheers and have a blessed day

[@yvonnebird2929]

I'm sure your dad would be very proud of the man you have become. A wonderful family, business and a world wide following. Because you are a kind genuine man. 😊

[@Zapotah]

I work in ICT as a network engineer and i stumbled across your channel a few years ago and its your demeanor and passion towards your craft that has kept me engaged even when my own craft has nothing to do with livestock. You are awesome Graeme and your crew is even better. Never underestimate how far your work can reach and how inspiring something can be.

[@defiant9809]

A Chuff is also something. That cat's do. It is a sound. They make to show a sign of friendship and affection.

[@amysheldon369]

Yes!

[@karenokeson2705]

💗💜💙🐱🐈🐅🐆🐯🦁

[@danceeeee1829]

We've always called a woman's lady parts a chuff 😂😂😂

[@CATravelWineGal]

I stumbled on this channel and have stayed because of Graeme and the team! Southern Scotland is beautiful. A very touching video….

[@debbiefox6846]

Lovely video and you are always reflect and are introspective each time you visit and rightfully so. It's a good omage to your dad. I get sad every time I visit my mom's house and miss my dad. So sorry you lost your father at such a young age. That must have been really hard for your whole family. Just look at all you have accomplished. How could your dad be anything but proud of the success you have become.🐮🐄💕🐮🐂

[@UrbanDIYer]

Dude, that’s why I love your show. I’m a big coffee junky. I’m always surprised to see you drinking coffee over tea. You know, I grew up around cows and never realized someone taking care of the hooves. I helped my pawpaw do various chores feeding, rounding up or loading (mostly being chased by angry bulls🤣).

[@FloridaRanMan-fp8ll]

Listening to you reminisce about your childhood on your family farm reminded me of why I watch you. When I was 11,12 & 13 and we would go on vacation to Western Tennessee to visit family my Uncle would take me on his cow route with him. He was an artificial breeder for cows and we would travel all over Tennessee, Kentucky and surrounding states visiting all sorts of farms. He taught me to drive and at 12 I would drive for him all over. He’s been gone a long time but your videos always remind me of those days. Thanks for that!

[@DebConver]

Well geez…this one choked me up. It’s wonderful that life has turned out so well for you and your family and perfect that you can spend some time back on your old family farm. What a beautiful setting!

[@sharonm3677]

Beautiful video and beautiful scenery shots. Your intro is so enjoyable it makes my heart happy like it did when I started watching you a while back with your first crush. Memories, the personal photo albums of our lives. Funny how that reflection of our lives becomes embedded in our souls and so easily comes flooding to the forefront. You’ve done well Graeme and I love seeing you work alongside your family. It really shows how important family is to you and your a good hearted person. It’s been such a pleasure watching you grow. ❤❤

[@sarahaquinovideos]

never knew how much i can enjoy a “show” about hoof trimming- but here i am! fascinating, great scenery, great chemistry.

[@rodneysmart9774]

That old farm looks so enchanting. I grew up in a magic place too. Warm smiles .

[@samanthadean1083]

I know how you feel Graeme, my grandparents had a farm, and my uncle ran it for awhile after they passed. But when he passed away, my dad and aunt sold the farm. I’ve always wondered if I could have made a go at it… Much love from Canada! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@hilarygreek7830]

The answer is yes, things would be different and also yes, your father would be proud of you. You’ve made yourself into a successful businessman and you still get to work with the animals that you love. I also lost my father too soon. ❤ Sending hugs to you and your family from Virginia, USA.

[@Ramona57-TX]

It brings back your inner child and all the wonderful memories that you have. Glad you can feel that now and again.

[@annewebb3351]

I stumbled on your videos and continue watching because it's satisfying to watch the relief you bring to animals who have no voice. Sore feet can take anyone down.

[@steverobbins4274]

Your friend was somewhat right about the tsunamis. There was a prehistoric tsunami that devastated the east and north coast of Scotland and the east coast of England. It was caused by an undersea land slip off the coast of Norway. Not forgetting the one that submerged Doggerland.

[@carolmorgan2408]

I have no idea why watching this is so satisfying and calming! I suppose it’s because you are helping the animals, but also your voice.
