You helped a cow over here in the states with your sharing of knowledge. I was at a Cornell cooperative farm in NY and noticed a cow walking lame on her back foot so I told them they should check her hooves, they sent me a message later and said there was a stone in the white line. Thanks for making videos, one of my favorite channels.

[@zeropoint546]

100% correct. I reckon them having the absolute best of care is the least we can do.

[@MountainPearls]

I agree. I’m fortunate I live rurally in the Mountains of NC with a smaller regional grocery store chain (but a nice regular one…nothing special. They do the labeling on their own) that tells us where some of the meat comes from (locally). I think people for me the area (mostly Scott Irish Descent and Cherokee have always cared for their animals too. Ethical and local food has always been important-or as long as I can remember, it has. I suppose I noticed talk about it in the mid -90s as a teen and it’s a big industry here that locals wanted to support). It became something I cared very much about about since “meeting” calves being raised for veal on a field trip in high school when I was 17. Never had it, never will. It isn’t just that they are a babies (what they do to them is awful. I never buy meat from that farm). It really isn’t that much more expensive, either, to buy from ethical local farmers. If I cut back on meat once or twice a week, it fits in my budget just fine (and that is healthy to do anyways). It tastes better as well. I did my research and always buy from the ethical farms for any animal products since the store started doing it. Particularly one beef and dairy farm as I know then family enough to say hello. The store even sells local honey where I know they treat the bees like the queens they are (many of their hives are actually rescued locally, too. Their keepers will come out and get them for you. They have been known to help with repairs…then don’t pay but they’ll help you patch your home etc. as they have those skills. Or send people who know to help). My favorite cheese is from Wales and I did a deep dive on that farm too via a friend near Cardiff who asked around for me (I do have to go to a specialty shop for it. But only it). The world is connected enough for us to find out where our food is raised ethically (or not). Someone good with tech. could make bank is the made an app where we could find out if a company buys from ethically rated farms (or not)-and how far those farms are from you as well! There would need to be a database, I wish it could somehow be crowdsourced and put together. Maybe it already exists? I have a friend in NYC who buys Kosher for just this reason too (not much of a Kosher population where I live so the closest store is 30 minutes away, otherwise I would too). People like this gentleman in different parts of the world could help put that database together (anonymously so it wouldn’t hurt their businesses).

[@brigidtheirish]

Agreed. The *Bible* has rules for the humane treatment of animals! (One I can remember is to not tie the ox's mouth so it can't eat what falls out of the mill. The grit and flour that end up where the ox can get to it would go to waste if the ox doesn't eat it and getting that snack encourages the ox to do good work besides also being healthy.)

[@Woolykins_Clubhouse]

And also, the more love you give them before the end of their life, the more healthy and wholesome the meat will be. :)

I love how passionate he is about the livestock he’s working with!

@@bbsmumma8630 I have a question at the end of this reply. I had horses when I was younger, and our horse had some quirks, one being that you couldn't wear your hair in a ponytail around him or he would grab it and yank you to the ground. He never did anything to you after, just whinnied like he was laughing about it. Had a farrier come to do his hooves once that didn't listen when we told her she could change the way she had her hair to a low bun but and even explained why, and she didn't listen and got yanked to the ground. I'm pretty sure she didn't come back because she didn't like our horses behavior or the fact that she had three little girls (one being me) giggling at her because she found out we were right. Question is, was she a bad farrier or just a stubborn person? From what I remember she did fine on his hooves but she was cranky about being grabbed by the hair by a horse. What you do think?

Graeme has a large following because he's earned it. He takes time out of his private life to make compelling content for both the layman and the professional, which is no easy task. I would say that he has earned every penny and all of the good will that you see him receive. Those that know his channel and subscribe love him with good reason. Lastly, he epitomizes what a good person ought to be. He will read your comment, like he reads all comments, and with the nobility of his character he will decline to criticize you as you have him. You Sir, have erred in your judgment of this man. Good day to you.

I love how you've told us a bit of your work history and that you've found your calling. I feel like I can really relate to this. I was a qualified Cabinet maker for nearly 20 years. About 10 years ago, had a career change, worked for public transport for 5 years, then went back to cabinet making for 6 years, then had another career change (due to injury), and now I'm a Pathology Collector (Phlebotomist, taking people's blood for blood tests for the Dr). Been at it since April this year and I love it! Similar to your job, It is very repetitive, but the variety keeps it interesting. Veins on some people are easier to find than others, and some people can be hard to bleed one day, then the next I can bleed them no worries. And just about every day, I see a request for a test I've never seen before, or a request with Dr's rotten handwriting, so I have to call said Dr to ask what they'd written. Love it. Keep up the great work!!!

Love this channel because it promotes animal Well-being and is a family- friendly way to teach my kids about where things like the meat on the table comes from and how it’s grown - so they can connect the number of opportunities around farming besides the obvious farmer - so they can see the industry as a fun way to work with nature to help bring food to family tables. From an office worker in Palm Desert, CA, USA. They’ve seen my office but I want them to know the world so they can see a plethora of possibilities. Helps that we have Scottish heritage and 7 generations ago, earned our way up from plowing and farming. They fact that they can see how essential and important farming work still is and animal husbandry is so valuable. Thank you!
