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.

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

It’s not really hoof trimming that has created opportunities for you. It’s your personality and desire to do something different that has resulted in people all over the world following you, not just for weird cow feet, but also what you bring to it. I’m sure your dad would be proud and I’m sorry he passed away when he did, it must have been very hard.

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 lost my father when I was 18. Since then I’ve had the big milestones like the first year without him, then the big birthdays like 21 and then half my life with him and half without. Last year I hit 50, the age he was when he died. I often wonder what he’d think of the man I’ve become. I still miss him to this day and am proud to have been his son. Life never gets easier when you’ve lost a parent but I’ve learnt that I am stronger for the pain and suffering. I’m sure your father would be super proud of the man his son has grown into. The care you show the animals you work on, the love of the work and the skills that you display when you expertly slice off millimetres of hoof!

Graeme my dad died when I was 19, I'd taken care of him as a young girl. Was with him continually for the last six months of his life. Incredibly hard and wonderful I learned more about my Irish heritage. I became a nurse, injured my back raised a family who know my da's story,now we (hubby of 38 yr.) meet US and NATO troops as the return home or deploy 24/7 365. Everything I've done my life I've taken him with me. Everyday he's with me. The day I got married I decided to have a father daughter dance with my brother except I felt like I was dancing with my Da. Until we got the pictures back the photographer was very upset that special picture was something he couldn't explain he got my Da dancing with me that day. I think your Da is with you at those special moments I think he is proud. 🙂

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. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. 💗💜💙🐄🐂

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!

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. 💗

Your father would be proud of you. You made a good life for yourself and your family after a tragedy. You still work with livestock, which keeps you close to the land - I guess you could say "grounded". You're also a canny businessman, and Mrs. HGP is no slouch in the brains department. Parents by and large want better for their children than what they had, and in that you have been successful. Cheers!

Graham, just two comments, firstly your Dad would be proud of what you have achieved in your life, lovely wife, great kids and you always do the best for the animals you look after. Secondly, the one thing my Dad told me was this ‘ as long as you make the best decision on the information you have at the time, it does not matter if it’s right or wrong, you have done your best’.

After I began to watch your videos almost 2 years ago my then 8 yr old grandson joined me. His hoof gp shirt is often worn (I sent you a picture of him when he received it). When he spends the night with me or if I visit we have to catch up on the videos he hasn’t seen. He is now 10, his 6 yr old brother joined in our video watching last year. Now my 4 yr old granddaughter asks to watch you when she is over. You can say you have become a much loved tradition!

Thank you for sharing with us. What a beautiful video even though I cried through a lot of it. Now that I'm nearing the end of my life this hits hard. I just sent most of my bovines to market because physically I can no longer care for all of them. I'm left with 3 bottle baby yaks and two old pet steers, one a retired bull that I kept because he was so kind and sweet, promising him he'd never leave this place. Hopefully I'll be able to keep that promise.

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!

Graeme, you just said exacerbate without any hesitation or any sign of even the slightest difficulty. I am highly impressed! 😉 On another note, I lived and farmed my grandfathers homestead, at first in partnership with my dad, and then raised 2 boys who decided to leave the farm. They are successful, but I have had to quit and let it go. I will always call it home but time marches on. Still it was by far the largest part of my life. I know your feelings. Blessings to you and yours.

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.
