Fun fact! Humans can actually get hardship lines, but we get them on our teeth. They're called Harris Lines, and they're due to hard times during childhood when the teeth are developing.

[@mariearmstrong7718]

Oh, my goodness, what a lesson in delicate knife work and your excellent knowledge of how the hoof grows and its specific characteristics. I feel so badly for this cow! It’s hard to imagine the pain she has been experiencing and still producing milk! Hope you get her better, Graeme!

[@tiznadabai85]

I find these videos fascinating. I had a mare blow a huge abscess out the front of her hoof when she had pneumonia. I had never seen a "hardship" abscess, aside from rasping it smooth and wrapping it in duct tape to keep debris out, nothing was done to it. It had to grow out over time.

[@tammietoombs2800]

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain some of the anatomy of the hoof. I always wondered why you modeled them out. I hope you have a very blessed day and weekend.❤

And when he hears Graeme come on he comes running.

It's shows how much everyone really does love to learn, if we just had good teachers treated well that are able to keep their passion alive.

[@samanthawilson7633]

I've been watching you for around a year and now I know why you model out the hooves, excellent explanation! I can relate I suffer with pain in my ischial tuberosity, which is the bone you sit on. As I am permanently in a wheelchair it can be rather troublesome so just like your modelling there are contour cushions available where the corresponding area is scooped out. Same problem just different solutions. I needed extra pressure relief so I have a cushion filled with things just like triangle teabags (for those that remember them) that are filled with air. The cows solution is altogether simpler but achieves the same result!

[@chairkun3095]

Have you changed the way you do the sound mixing? I can hear the knife moving through the hoof much clearer than usual.

[@scottestes848]

Love listening to Hoof GP while working. It's therapeutic. I enjoy hearing the accent and try to mimic when talking to my gal, "ah lit-tell bet." Enjoy the cheeky humor. But mostly like the doing for cattle what they can't do for themselves. I like when their pain is reduced and they're on the faster track for mending😊

[@jurgens.3964]

When it comes to wallhorn lesions - would it make sense tp soak the hoof in water before trimming so that the material to teim away gets softer ?

[@catherinehubbard1167]

That poor cow! You couldn’t have fully dealt with that hoof’s issues without your sturdy crush to hold it firmly but safely in place despite her struggles. You could see her looking at that hoof in seeming puzzlement as she left the crush, and she was already starting to walk better on her way back to the field. Must be satisfying.
