I can almost hear the cows giggling and saying, “It’s mani-pedi time! It’s mani- pedi time!” as they eagerly ran toward the crush. They seemed so happy. 😂
That’s too cute. 😊
Hi
I thought they hated the Crush.
Are they learning that, as much as they don't like it, it's actually good for them in the long run, so they've started accepting it as a necessary evil?
You must have missed that last precious lady cow.
@@BronyNumber4096 They've probably formed an association between the crush and Feet Feel Good after
Sometimes I like to imagine what the cows are thinking while they are in the crush. Like imagine going through your day, your foot hurts cause you banged it something, but hey such is life. Then, you get picked up by a big machine and your feet start moving. Then your like “Ow my foot” for a second and then it immediately feels better. Then when you start walking again, you can walk properly. I imagine if cows were capable of speech, they would be thanking you guys all the time❤️
I think maybe it's like some sea turtles that come in to the reef where certain fishes groom them. They get something out of it by eating the parasites. I think cows have a bit of understanding that it's beneficial, they just probably want to be out after so many minutes.
saw a video of another trimmer, the cow start jumping around immediattely after she left the crush.
@@raphquiatraphquiat4047Nate the Hoof Guy lol
There is this kid in my class who has a boot on her foot and i showed them this and they said “i think i need a block now”
Grahame, I want to thank you.
I found you by accident when putting my then 8yo son to bed (he is 10 now). We watch YT together every night until he falls asleep & one of your videos popped up in my recommended. He insisted on watching even though you don’t fall within the genre of content we consume together.
Not only is your channel educational, but you’re an amazing role model. My sons dad (ex husband) is not in the picture so through watching you he has witnessed an adult male demonstrate that so long as one loves what he does, is passionate about their work and profession, a job doesn’t have to feel like a job; plus you’re the perfect example of the power of positivity! Things go wrong and it’s no big deal - you adapt. Seeing a man display this behavior says so much about you as a person. Thank you. He adores your channel and I can see why - your personality & charisma radiate through the camera and are palpable to the audience. I’m so glad we stumbled upon you. You’re a ray of light and deserve every bit of this success. Keep it up! We look forward to every upload!
With love from SC, USA.
Well said I watch this with my girls too
I do too with my kids and I'm also from South Carolina
maybe you should considering reading books for him instead...
its amazing how a certain person can make such a difference being themselves
@@gustavchristjensen3271 we read a ton! He’s gifted for his age - a 9yo with a reading level of an adult so it’s difficult to find content age appropriate at his reading level. We’ve been through multiple book series; Harry Potter being his favorite. Once we’ve read for a bit, he wants to watch CZcams. Thanks for the “tip”.
I don’t know why Facebook sent me down a HoofGP rabbit hole but I am forever thankful for it. There’s something so relaxing about watching you take care of these animals. Thank you for everything you do and keep up the good work guys!!
These nail cleaning clips have been randomly appearing on my instagram and now addicted to watch these videos. so ASMR. lol
I ended up down the same rabbit hole.... Can't say I'm mad about it either.
Yeah, I did too. Being raised on a farm, I don't think any off our cows had this done; however, ours was not producing anything for public consumption.
The cows always look so confused when the crush stops them from just walking straight through 😂
I love how the girls are excited for their pedicures, what a lovely thing to see happy cows. And for the ladies needing help, thank you for caring so much and appreciating the unique soul in each of them, and healing her pain. ❤
But why does he always sound like he’s had too much to drink before work?
@@scampishfoxx3138 because he's Scottish and they all sound like that.
For real, pedicures are amazing.
I really do love that he makes a point of telling us that the cows are taken care of and that the videos we see are the exception. That farmers do their absolute best to maintain and keep their cows as happy as possible is something we need to be reminded of.
plus, imagine if all we ever saw was perfect cow's foot after perfect cow's foot, hour after hour......
@@threenorns3 Hoof GP ASMR anyone?
At least on the farms he works with...
Respect for switching to biodegradable wraps, some might say it’s really not much of a change but great to see you’re doing what you can nevertheless ❤
Honestly if theres not a significant difference in performance and they are basically the same price, theres not really a valid reason NOT to so yeah, Im glad those are getting more use! It does seem like the convenience alone may justify a slightly higher price, let alone the environmental benefits. Its like metal straws or LEDs, sure they are better for the environment but never having to buy new straws and never needing to change lightbulbs is just kinda worth it anyway lol
I would have never thought watching someone take care of a cows feet would be so interesting but I'm hooked. Love your videos
Same!😊
Its as drawing in as watching earwax getting cleared from peoples obstructed ears or watching pimples get popped.....its like a train wreck you just can't look away
Me too in Seattle!
It's emotionally nourishing for me to see the genuine love and concern you and your team have these animals.
Really love the minimal piano, guitar, etc., in the background. It suits the somber atmosphere of the task at hand.
I think it's so important that you make these videos. Not only are they entertaining, they are vital to inform the public of the lengths that you and the farmers go through to help us put food on the table.
Proud to be part of the herd! 😊
I am a keen follower of The HoofGP, but rarely comment, until now....
It was that moment when Graham comforts the cow, around the 19 mins mark.... so tender, so loving. Beautiful. 💓💓☺💓💓
Thank you Team HoofGP.
God bless yous.

I am another person who doesn't have cows, is not a farmer but is addicted to these videos. Not all the different trimmers, I just love seeing the scenery of Scotland and hearing his accent.
Way to invalidate his work and sum up his whole worth to the way he speaks. Do better.
@@hermi1-kenobi455 bruh
@@hermi1-kenobi455lighten up, Francis
it's like the cows have their own pit crew (crush crew?) so that their "wheels" are all in top shape and ready to moo-ve. I love that!
Love the analogy. I imagine the Indy 500 and Brickyard races!!! 'Drivers, start your engines!!' 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I have been scared of cows amongst other creatures most of my life but watching your channel has changed my perception of them completely. They have such beautiful eyes and I had never noticed it before ♥️♥️♥️♥️.
Thank you for changing my feelings.
Honestly if you ever get the chance to see one up close they are majestic creatures.
So you stopped eating them and consuming their babies milk, right?
@@duskexx1742Stop bothering others. Ridiculous animalist.
I spent the holiday weekend with my parents and showed my dad your videos. He was blown away by your commitment and love for your work. He was glued to the tv. It was so wholesome 😭💖
Great to share in the wholesomeness together.!!
I absolutely love how compassionate you’re towards your work and also the animals.
that "you're" is messing with my head. someone help
8 months to heal?! Poor cow! Thank you for the great care you show to these animals.
If digital dermatitis is so infectious do you have to sterilize your blades or tools prior to starting the next cow
From what I’ve seen of other videos, they seem like they may just switch to a new set of tools in that case (new knife and new grinder blade). I’m not a part of the team though so take my word with a grain of salt.
Yeah they sanitize them or change the knifes and blades. That’s what the other guys do. Lol getting the tools ready for the next.
Those ladies are extremely fortunate to have you. It warms my heart to see them so well cared for.
The last trim... bless that poor cow! My heart just melted seeing her face & how much you truly care about these beautiful creatures. I hope she heals up nicely without any complications!
It’s no wonder that last lady was talking to you. She was telling you that she has a problem and she’s glad you are here to fix it. I truly believe that the cows do know that you are there to help them even if they don’t understand what it is that you do.
Fun fact: Did you know that cows have a good memory and remember who you are. Some cows even fall in love with humans, so a cow could potentially be your soulmate.
@@Frozen_pinapple67thats so cute i love cows
Those cuts at 17:48 are absolutely amazing! The amount of precision required is mind blowing.
Great camera angle to show it, too!
Talking about a pet cow. We raised a steer in our back yard in the city limits. He was so fun until his horns grew out. He still was a lover. When we finally introduced him to herd he was our best mover. My dad taught the cattle to come to his truck when he honked the horn. Freckles (the steer's name) would be the lead steer and all the other cows would follow him without having to put up a temp fence to keep them from running off across a road.
.
My dad was in the Navy and he always said that it takes each person to keep the ship afloat. Even if your job seems unimportant and small, usually that isn't the case. Good teamwork is hard to find and it's awesome to see how the Hoof GP has such great people on hand to help the animals we were put here on earth to take care of. Hopefully you don't ever find a hoof so hard you can't cut through them.
Another amazing trim showing the lengths you go to help these beautiful animals. Love this longer video!
The cows looked very happy to get their hooves trimmed up. "Yay, manicure time!" 😂
Hello to the herd! Graeme, I love the mention of the herd on the coffee mug. I'm not a hoof trimmer, but thanks to your great teaching I'm surprised how much of the terminology I know & steps of trimming. I love that those sweet cows get some head rubs & a bit of love while in the crush.
💚 🐄 🧡 🐂 💚
It's honestly wonderful to see someone work with family and see so much genuine affection.
You seem to be a very compassionate and loving man, and I'm happy to see there is still good in the world.
This was great to watch. A splendid job, well done + more so, giving her a wee cuddle was really special! 😁🐄💕
I love the sound of her soft, low moos. Very soothing. Graeme, go ahead and get yourself a cow. Maybe a nice little Jersey. Or a Scottish Highlander. Or both! 😉😄
Hello Grahame, I've enjoyed your videos for a couple years and I wanted to thank you for this content. It really warms my heart to see people taking so much care and compassion to aide and maintain these beautiful cows. Keep it up Sir, your humanity is not lost.
I like that this guy wasn’t afraid to admit when he went too deep, makes me like him more and shows that nobody is perfect and everybody makes a mistake every once in a while
I so enjoy seeing you make these cows more comfortable. They give us a lot. It is nice to see them taken care of. ❤
Man I love it when you do videos that are this long. More content and more we learn. Need more content this long
My wife and I have really enjoyed watching Graham and the guys for at least 3 years. Love in Columbia Tennessee. We joke about wanting to stop and check the cows hooves that are all around us. Favorite channel on CZcams.
I love the banter between you and your bro- in - laws .... it makes me giggle. Not only do you love your job......you get to do it with your family at the same time...and make awesome videos as well .....luv from Australia
Hi Grahame thank you for another look into the world of hoof trimming people dont realise the work that goes into looking after the cows.
I mean, who would realise what goes into other peoples' jobs? I own a grocery store, a place most people go every week. None of you understand what ot takes to make a supermarket run efficiently. Thats just how it is.
Does a hoof ever get beyond you or vet's care. You are so loving to everyone, animal and human alike. The world needs more people like you. ❤
He showed a cow awhile ago that just didn't get better and was getting worse.
He mentioned that the hoof got to be so painful that the only humane thing to do was what was necessary.
A true loss.😞
Toe necrosis
Yes unfortunately. Some result in a toe amputation but its rare. I think Graeme showed one cow last year that had one toe. Others their feet are always weak and need constant care. In the wild they would just die or be hunted down.
This was a great video. It's always good to see both the good feet and the bad. It's always good to see a bad foot be treated, and even better to be reminded that the goal of it all is to have as many "uninteresting" routine trims as possible.
Hello! My three girls and I love watching The Hoof GP! We haven been watching now for over a year and have been fascinated with trim! We are so amazed with your knowledge and skill as you address each hoof and impressed with the level of care you show for each cow! Watching all the way from SC, USA!
Great video - and that last trim was incredible...the cavities just kept going! Thank you for helping these lovely animals ❤️🐄💗🐄💕
Never thought it would take 8 months to regrow, but with that level of depth it foes make sense
That last trim was just amazing work. Im looking forward to seeing her in a future episode.
Wow Grahame❗️What precision with that hoof trim it looks very complicated and you did an excellent job with her 🐄🫶🏼👍🏼
Those are some really neat looking shirts 👕 my disability check doesn't get in for a couple of weeks yet, I do hope you will have a mug left but doubt if I can be on time for your shirts. However that certainly doesn't take away from how awesome they really are, teaching and 😊 tailored 😊 who knew you were such an amazing designer.❤😊 Once again another great video. Very relaxing and love to watch. God bless your whole team. ❤😊 Big Hello from Angola Indiana You guys are the best!!!
I love watching these vids, its very doubtful i will ever trim a cows hoof but its still soooo intresting to watch, another thing i love is how honest you are, some people would never admit that they didnt expect the cavities to be there nor would they admit that they went very slighty too deep on one of the cuts but you do, its what makes you a fantastic teacher and also a great person to watch 💖
As for Craig i will admit he really made me laugh when he said about his costa cup, im sure your mugs are superior to costas anyday 😊💖😊
I have learned so much about cow's since watching your video's please continue your work your truly making a difference for the cow's and farmer's your helping.
I love the compassion that you have for your beautiful patients. The cows are so beautiful. And it's 100% therapeutic watching tackle a trim. Thanks for bringing us along
You are so good to these cows, you treat them nice and your so sweet to them, no matter if your in a hurry, you take the time to pet the cows and they calm down right away.
They know you , maybe they are running to the crush so they can get some pets from you!❤️ I appreciate that you are so gental with their feet.
I love that you’ve begun to add a lot of music again. It’s very relaxing and helped me through the pandemic when I first discovered your videos.
The average dairy farm has what 500 minimum to 1200 cows it seems from the channels I watch. Your videos cover 1 or 2 problems per video. So through out your week you see I'm guessing let's say 10 cows a week tops that are a problem out of several 100 you see a week. So that's about 1% have an issue.
Yeah, id love to hear some statistics on that. 😊
500-1200 is maybe a little much for Europe but your analogy makes sense not the less. My mum was an podiatrist (hoofcare for mostly people with diabetes if you will) and the amount of people with problematic feet is probably in the same range if not higher.
Not all of the cows are done at a time. I believe in a previous video he stated that they may only see 20 to 60 at a time. And then a different group the next time they go to that farm. The vast majority don't have any problems.
Eight months! Wow. I’m glad you said that, I wanted to ask but didn’t want to sound foolish.
Yep
I love your background music...and how you love taking care of the cows. ❤
Wowie. What a hoof. Poor lil lady. I just found your channel about a month ago. Y' all have been my favorite channel and main watch since.
So glad to see Y'all are still going strong and doing great. I watched your videos while prepping for Thanksgiving(read: up til 1 am making 18 pies, cooking the items I could to have them ready to throw together on the day.) - and, I was trimming the bottoms.off celery, and one end that had a crack/split, was right beside another- and I heard your voice say, " this, is a white line defect. We need to trim away at the Crack to make sure there are no more issues, and hollow it out, or, soften the sharp edges, and make a way for the slurry to not get stuck, and make things, much worse."
😅
Love the new merch. Congrats on all.
Probably one of my favourite videos so far. The routine of the trim, the teamwork and anticipation, and the camaraderie and banter is lovely to watch. The occasional issue is great to see too, but I really enjoy the routine and the flow through best.
Keep up the good work team, and by team I also mean your families as you couldn't do such a good job without the support behind you.
I have been watching your channel forever, I would love to thank you for helping animals that can’t help themselves, you are a angel in Gods eyes. God Bless you and your family and friends.
Thank you so much for helping them. Cows are such gentle giants. It's wonderful to see you actually love them and care for them too.
Im crying it truely makes her feel she was more than just one of the cow's you worked on. She know you cared beyond just the working in her sore foot. You showed her you personally care and don't mean ti cause her more pain. I could feel her energy and it was such loving thank you energy. N she could feel your❤
Fantastic as always. I absolutely love seeing the care and attention you give to those lovely cows. You three are the perfect team doing your absolute best for the animals, and that really comes across in your videos. Keep up the excellent work!
I love the shirts! I have enjoyed watching your channel for a few years now and it always brightens my day when HoofGP posts. Have an amazing day
I was so deep in concentration watching G trim away the cow’s super thin layer of hoof horn that when it cut to Craig ready with the block and glue, all goofy , I busted out laughing! 😂 It’s a pleasure how you all work well together for the good of these beautiful cows. 🐄
I love how you put your brothers in law to work for you ❤❤❤ so nice it help you and them and now creg has his own channel 🥳
I have noticed you never take off huge chunks of horn other than the first cut of the heel bulb. That shows just how careful you are. I used to be concerned when the animal would bleed, thinking perhaps you were not paying attention as you should. Then I saw the lesion bleed just from spraying it with the bottle and realized how delicate and prone to injury that tissue is.
Thanks Graham, I'd never really thought of cows having feet problems. A cow farrier was not a job of heard of.😐
Wow I love watching you all as a part of my down time winding down at the end of my day. It is tonight 11.30pm Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time. (EDST). I am from Sunshine Bay NSW (Batemans Bay). So thanks from Louise as we have dairy farmers on our coast and there is nothing like pure cows milk. Love how much goes into caring for cows and love too learning so much as we had cows when I was a little girl living in the middle of NSW on a small property. Thank you for sharing your videos as love seeing your part of the world too. Thanks again Louise from Australia 🇦🇺.
Aww, sweet girl ❤ hoping she heals super fast. I love that there's room for fun and brotherly love as well as trimming 🥰
Loved how some of them where skipping as they headed to the crush. You could feel how happy they felt.
Mani-pedi time!
I love the love you show for the animals you service. You are an amazing person! 19:59
Greatest satisfaction to know these beautiful animals are getting treated and have less pain!! Thank you for helping them!!
I love how the cows are just extended in the air, they are probably loving it getting the weight off their feet and being able to just relax
Ooh, biodegradable wraps? That's exciting!! I hope they work out well for you.
I love that Craig didn't even "Yes, and" you when you joked about him making the coffee. He just "yes"sed you. Apparently the correct approach! (Craig, you're wonderful. Please never change.)
Have to say, I was not expecting to see Graeme's bare chest in this one. But hey, man, free the nip. 😆
(Also, um, it's "enunciate." I think your elocution is lovely, though.)
I have to wonder, as I marvel at those tough, tiny cuts you made through that wall horn - do you ever get like .... carpal tunnel, or anything? That looks like it would be so rough on your wrists! I'm continually amazed that you can make those precise cuts through something so tough!
Free the nip! I love it! LOL
This was such a great post. Love seeing Graeme, Craigie Boy and Kevin!
It has become my routine to watch these videos at around dinnertime as I wait for food to finish cooking :)
I've been watching since the middle of lockdown and it never gets boring seeing you enthusiastic, happy and helping these cows feel better. 😊
Ditto, ditto, ditto.
I am so addicted to these videos....🎉 Love the real care and concern for these cows. The teamwork is top notch. Thanks for another great video.....watching from our home here in The Philippines.....will be watching when back in America......Would love to travel to the UK to see this in person.
Love all your videos and I've been watching all the older ones too 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I was worried about that last cow’s hoof wounds were on the verge of toe necrosis. Would it have progressed into that? I’m glad that you caught it in time.
Oh man, you are just the sweetest guy who really cares for the lucky gals who get your affection. Because of you, they will trust us humans and enjoy their lives. There’s so many precious ladies who could only wish to get your gentle hand. God Bless You, and your friends!
You do such a service to these poor cows .. Your a good humanitarian
I love it! That was amazing. The deepest I've seen you've cut into the white lining. But you've done an amazing job with her. Keep up the great work team 😎💕💯
This has gotten randomly recommended to me and I absolutely love it. I grew up on a farm and used to help the hoof trimmer with our cows. We unfortunately had to sell our farm and cows included due to increasing issues of South Africa and farms. Thank you for your work, cows would suffer without your work.
Nehh bru us I Namibia are babalas😂
That sucks, I hate when small family operations are pushed out my the corporate machine! Esp. It's a good business that cares for its customers, it's finished product and esp. It's commodity if it's a living thing.
I cried a little bit for the cow, but seeing how you do your job and caring for this cow made me cry a bit more. Thank you for making a difference and say cheers to the farmer. It’s beautiful to see that they care for their animals 💜
You were so sweet to her giving her pets to calm her down ❤
This was an extremely satisfying trim to watch. Always appreciate the care you put into your work.
I am financially strained and can’t afford your lovely merch. I do, however, love watching your videos and drinking coffee with you guys…your mugs are sooo cute. I am a retired nurse and am fascinated by what you do. Keep up the good work and I will see ya on the next one ❤
As someone that works in healthcare finance in the US, I thank you for your service.
I’m not sure where you are, but if you’re in the US, I know how thankless bedside nursing can be here, so here’s to a well-earned retirement!
@@janehopke878 Thank you. I have lived in Georgia in the US all my life. It is a thankless job but…I really miss it

It's good to see you petting and loving on the cow to calm her down.. Someone who loves his job
Lovely to see you taking such good care of these lovely animals. A labour of love. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you from Spain.
Impressive as always! I would really like a Hoof GP key ring, if you could think about adding this to the merch list.
Those cows know exactly what to expect from the hoof trimmer. They know exactly where to stand in the crush to get treated.
I so love that you are such a great team! Graeme you giving love to the cow by giving her rubs just so how much you care about animals 😊❤
When I’ve had enough of this world and so much of its nonsense, I catch a HGP video and it’s chicken soup and good vibes 😎 all around! Thank you HGP and the Team there…I believe I’d prefer to be a cow in your care than a witness to the opposite of Peace on Earth Good Will To Men that is all around. You guys are the BEST weather no matter the storm everywhere else. Peace ☮️ and Love ❤️ to you and yours. Thanks for being there.
I collect mugs and have a good handful from my favorite CZcamsrs. I was thrilled to see you offer one in your new merch!! Already placed my order! Thnx for all you do!
Love the cups!!!!!! I watch you and I love that you guys have so much compassion for these animals 💜🙏🏼🙏🏼💜🫶🏼👊🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🤩
❤I love being a member of the herd. It makes me smile. 😊
I love the interplay between you and the rest of the crew. Sibling rivalry combined with shenanigans.
Amazing knife work. Your care and devotion to your profession is outstanding. Love the team work. Also love the longer videos.
Poor Craig!!! Sending you a hug and a kiss from Ohio, USA!!!
It's great you spent some time at the front end of the cow this video :). I'm sure the scratches and attention helps with their stress level. True cowpassion. :)
