CARVING OUT a DEEP HOLE in this cow's hoof

[@catherine59226]

I’m an ER surgical RN. Needless to say; my stress level is up there. One of your older videos was in my feed, so I decided to watch while I was on a work break. You’re a godsend! I cannot tell you how much you’ve helped me with my stress! In one way or another; we’re all here to help each other and our animals. Whether it’s a patient with two legs or four; it’s up to us to make their lives better.

[@MarinaRhymin]

I can relate! These videos help me cope with OCD. When I get a skin-picking compulsion, I watch these until it’s gone. Empathizing with the cows allows me to feel clean!

[@BryanDamuth]

God bless you for being an er rn!

I love how Graeme always explains what he is doing at the beginning of his videos because he doesn't want new people to have to scroll to old ones just for the basic know how. What a considerate man

[@SomaShiori]

I also think it's just a nice consistent way to do a video and very much appreciate it too

[@kathylynch9732]

He explains things very well, helps this old city girl understand what's going on!

I loved how you call them ladies ❤ because they are ❤ I love cows, and they have the most beautiful eyes ❤

[@gorywriter326]

I've lost track of how many videos I've watched from your channel, nor do I remember how you showed up in my suggestions one day. I am in no way a hoof trimmer or have any plans to become one, but I find myself looking forward to every new video you post, and I've learned far more about your field of work and hoof care in general than I ever expected to. It's all just so... fascinating, honestly. Looking forward to the next one, Graeme!

Just watched your fed by farmers podcast interview. You are an awesome. Your are generous, family loving, honest, hardworking, and I am so impressed by your openness. Thank you so much. Keep on trimming and loving those who support you. Hugs.

[@phillamoore157]

It's incredibly comforting to know there are people with your expertise (and every bit as importance....concern) taking care of these animals. Very interesting to watch. Well done, my friend.

[@magicigconito3134]

Even watching you trim regular hooves is relaxing. You even point out minor things that might have not been noticed.

[@matthewtaylor4442]

So much better without all the music! I want to see the work and hear you explain the process. This is better than before. Keep this style going.

I don't like the music either. I always turn the volume all the way down.

[@michellebolen3892]

It is so, I don't have the right words, interesting, amazing, powerful, inspirational and moving are the ones that come to mind first when I watch your videos. You can tell you really do care and feel for these cows when they come in hurting and painful. I am not sure you even notice but your voice changes ever so slightly when you work on a heifer or bull that is truly in need of your care. Your lilt becomes slightly more thick and your voice softens, almost as if you want the animal to understand you are there to help. I have learned so much from the years of watching you all the way back to cow 812 (I believe it was she has a book about her written). Thank you so truly much for your love, care and compassion to those who need your healing touch Greame, you and the boys have helped so many and taught so many of us it really is inspirational and moving.

[@beckstervanc4947]

Hey Graeme I recently became a member as I am a huge fan of your work! Ive learned so much from you- not just about hoof trimming and bovine biology, but about modern cattle farming in general. You have changed my perception of modern farming and seeing the use of technology to benefit the cows giving them a far better quality of life! I live in the Big Smoke of London but I would love to live in SW Scotland doing your job. All that hard work, dedication in a beautiful location... you are the dream!!!

[@RavenElise-yc7qn]

I love everything you do, but I miss the long form videos with the music, seeing where you’re going, laughing with the boys, and generally having a grand time. Even if you don’t find a cow with a problem, it’s still enjoyable. Much love to you and yours ❤

Have you ever gotten to know a cow? If there's some around you could interact with I think you'd find they're pretty charming and sweet.

[@marthamitchell9452]

Dairy cows are different than beef cows. They are much tamer and more friendly, especially if it’s a smaller herd. When cows are raised by people from birth they act very different. I had a dairy cross steer who thought he was a dog. His best friend was our big farm dog and he always came running when he saw us.

[@whimsygrove9971]

How can you not like cows? All they do is stand in a pasture and eat grass all day. They're not aggressive or mean. They aren't confrontational. Actually they can be very interesting. They like to listen to music and will supposedly give "better" milk if you play music for them. They like to be petted and scratched behind the ears like puppies. They're just the best, I love cows! Would totally own a couple if I lived on a farm. 🐮

[@marthamitchell9452]

@@whimsygrove9971 not all cows are the same. Ones that are handled frequently are very tame. Those who have not been need to be watched when you are around them. Even the tame ones can hurt you even when they don’t mean to. We had a pet steer that was very gentle and loving. He would come running to greet you like a dog. The problem was he weighed about 900 lbs and had horns. He didn’t realize that when he turned his head back and forth to be scratched he was knocking into our legs pretty hard. I had constant bruises. Size does matter. He wasn’t even full grown yet.

Graham I ❤ to watch your videos. I admire how you help these animals out. It amazes me they go in the crush barely Able to walk but when they come out they might look stiff but I can tell the difference in their walking now that’s cool because I only know what I see you do or hear you say what is wrong. (This might not be important to you but it is to me because I live it everyday) I watch these animals & you can see them in pain & I also see them in pain in their faces & eyes. I’ve had chronic pain for over 40 years. Been everywhere to see if who if any can help me to ease the pain. I live on the east coast of the United States. I’ve been North, south, west to get help. I know the Drs really try to help but not yet so far. But I don’t give up hope. (LOL) I wish they had a crush I could walk In but walk out feeling better. I know it sounds crazy but I’m telling you I wish it were that easy for humans. Anyway Graham (hope that’s how you spell your name if not I’m sorry). Please don’t stop helping these animals because they have no voice. I sometimes think you do know what they are saying. I can’t say thank you enough for doing everything you know how to make them heal & help with their pain. Trust me I can see their pain in their eyes & faces. & when your putting them in the crush before & after. Again THANK YOU. I think you have a beautiful family. You have 2 cutie pies. I have 2 boys also but mine are a hair older. You & your wife look like good parents & that’s hard too do sometimes but like the animals you help Never Quit on your family. That’s one of the most important precious❤ things you have in life. If I ever get to Scotland maybe we all could have lunch/dinner together as friends. I might be wrong but I’ve heard you talk about traveling all over. Is this entirely for you to learn more or teach others more about your profession. I hope your family gets to travel with you. Traveling in itself is educational for us all. That’s one thing that doesn’t matter about age. We all can learn something new everyday & still not know it all. As they say thanks for the memories. I would have never thought I’d be interested in watching & learning about animals in this way. Well wishes & good luck in all your lives. 🇺🇸❤️🌎👏❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Take care & thanks for listening if you’re able to. 👏👏👏

I'm always amazed what paper thin slices you're able to take away with that knife. It's incredible! All of your movements are so smooth and efficient. I recently watched a video of someone else trimming a cow's problem hoof and their movements were so awkward, jerky and the pieces so chunky that it took them forever. I couldn't help but think the whole time that they were just butchering the poor cow's foot as they even cut through the live tissue of the heel bulb despite the problem not even extending that far up (not to mention the lack of local anesthesia!). I kept thinking "they need to take the Hoof GP's online hoof trimming course!"

[@Stopanimalabuse-u2l]

Question... I watch the majority of YT videos without sound so you may have answered my question a hundred times. If so, my apologies. I just wanted to know, of all the cases you handle, what percentage of animals suffering from hoof issues is a result of owner negligence? And thank you for all you do to relieve the suffering of these marvelous creatures.

[@iPyromantic]

It seems like the majority of the farmers he works with are pretty careful with their cattle, but a lot of then also have herds with upwards of 500 cows. Some of them also buy cows that have been mistreated by their previous owners. Graeme frequently makes a point to explain why and how an injury could have progressed as far as it did. I have no experience with cattle myself, so I just have to take his word for it, but Graeme definitely comes across as someone who really cares about the animals he works on. If you have the opportunity, you might try a few videos with sound some time -- Graeme is a delight to listen to.

[@iPyromantic]

Although it would also be really nice if he or someone else put proper closed captioning on his videos... having done some captioning myself, I know that's not necessarily a quick job, but not everyone can hear his dulcet tones. I do sometimes wish I could make a quick buck or two captioning stuff like this, haha.
