I would just like to make an observation about Kevin. Since his return from surgery, his face looks at least 10 years younger than when he first started appearing in the videos regularly. As a person who lives with chronic back pain, I never cease to be amazed by how much pain can affect a person’s appearance. The level of pain which he was living with prior to the surgery must have been next level. And he probably didn’t even realize it until after he had the surgery. So God Bless to the surgeon who was able to correct Kevin’s medical condition as well as any other person who facilitated that surgery. So glad you’re on the road to recovery!
It's true; he looks a lot happier and yes: younger!
I agree with this!
That is a very true observation. I suffered with acute gall bladder pain for two years before an operation and people commented to my wife how old (and sort of yellow) I looked.
Been dealing with chronic back pain from a herniated disk for two years. It’s been bad the last 6 months and magically went away. Your life does get much better without chronic pain.

I caught a different channels video of hoof repair, and it was heartbreaking. They had no patience for the cows. The respect you show for the animals is amazing. Not everyone cares enough to be gentle and empathetic. 💙
Do you remember the channel? I dont watch many other trimmers cause many sound quite monotonous to me about their work/i just love watching Graeme and crew so much. I only ask so i know to avoid them if possible cause i dont want to venture to another teimmer and get upset at how they treat the dear cows
Absolutely! I say it regularly. Other ppl r so rough and impatient. It's heartbreaking,but it is also so maddening. Graeme cud seriously teach the world a thing or 2
Agree!!
That little accidental graze really highlights all the other times you clarify that you haven't nicked the corium, that little nick had a completely different reaction and shows how delicate and careful you are, fab job! Also that laugh midway through was the best 😂
Graeme's wasn't at fault really. The flesh would have been so fragile with the inflammatory reaction that it was just laying like the skin on a rice pudding over the mass of puss that it was about to burst out anyway.
@@brianthesnail3815 I know he wasn't at fault, just pointing out how the nick reacted differently to other videos where there's infection and it bleeds much easier, highlighting how Graeme's point holds that he very rarely nicks the corium :)
I'm so glad that a veterinarian is always consulted absolutely whenever one of
the cow's hoofs has got infection or an
anomaly of any health-threatening kind.
It would be amazing to see him colab with a vet so we could see the full process
Given the fact that the cows walk, sleep and eat in sewage, I'm surprised they don't have *more* problems.
I mean you can say the same about horses, sheep, pigs, and so many different farm animals
Yep!
They don't quite sleep in sewage.

Hi
I'm a horse lover and I kept their box stalls& runways very clean .
Box stall with cedar shavings.
But I do see with cattle it's a different ball game all together.
It seems to go in one end and come out often and watery. UGH
@@mattholmes2589 oh, they do!
I appreciate the transparency and honesty so much. One little nick in hundreds would be easy to edit out, but owning those little moments and the encouragement you give must motivate your students and keep moral high during the learning process!
😅 and a number was
I agree
As a nurse for humans, retired, I can understand the surprises that can come across when you expect a simple problem. 😃😃👋👋💖💖
The OCD in me fights anxiety when he starts on a hoof without cleaning the entire hoof & being free to work without feces but that's just me and it's clear he knows exactly what he's doing!! He does such an amazing job & it shows that he cares!!!!
It helps me when I think of how dry debris will crumble off and be easier to clean off compared to wet muddy debris which will stick and get everywhere
Yeah, me too ! I would have power water each one before working on them, but I guess that is why he is a pro and me knowing nothing. XD
Ditto….and it’s worse when he’s not wearing gloves or a mask. 😳😳
I would not be able to have this job for the sole reason that I would spent an hour on only cleaning up each cows legs i can't stand when they work with infections and all without fully cleaning it. Even if its more logical.
@lady_apocalypse178 That is soooooo me lol
"Ooh, great, oozing pus!" - Hoof GP has changed me.
I always love the Scottish countryside so beautiful!
Lol you're in good company 😂I got excited
"Ooooo, cheesy!"
As long as it’s coming out of someone else’s body it’s okay
And that’s a wonderful thing, isn’t it??🙂🙂
You relieved her pain, that's all that matters. Thank you Graeme, Craigie Boy and Kevin.
Alajla
@@mikes8804 ?
Yer welcome! 😏🥶😬
i would have guessed he spells his name graham
I found your channel accidentally only yesterday. I have absolutely nothing to do with cattle in my own life, apart from the odd milkshake and cheeseburger. However, I've really enjoyed learning about your work. I never knew how much care had to go into their feet. It makes me happy to see how dedicated your team is to the comfort of these animals. More impressively, your positivity and joy in life are contagious. Though I feel slightly queasy over some of your content, you make me feel like I'm in good hands, and I can tackle any of my own challenges with ease and success. Thanks so much for the motivation!
You will become addicted. These gentlemen are just delightful.
Amazing how these vids make us feel huh? I love 'em!
I’ve been watching this channel for a couple years and I’m just realizing this man is fine as hell. Wow
The fact that you and Jack are both pretty damn good trimmers means these cows will be maintained to an absurdly high standard. Both your routine visits and his interim maintenance will combine to make it impossible not to. This farm will probably have the lowest rate of lame cows in Scotland in a year.
I'd say one is pretty good but the other....
.... is pretty excellent.
So @thehoofgp, is it fair to say that Jack has trimmed her more like a horse by dropping the heels a bit far down and leaving her toe longer?
(Sorry jack - as a positive - Jack was my grandfather's name - bloomin good horseman)
The interim maintenance, to me, seems like the cherry on top! The thing that can stop lameness in its tracks, and make things heal faster.
What do you mean aging?Wipe the milk from your lips youngster!
@@brucelowe5116 Think you replied to the wrong comment?
Anyone who has had a blister, or abbess will know how much better this cow feels releasing all that pressure.
Well done, Mate. The cow is grateful.
Yeah i agree
Exactly
Having had a whole load of abscesses, including, but certainly not limited to, one on the root of a tooth (unbeknownst to the dentist who was drilling into it to repair a cracked tooth. Despite a ton of local anaesthetic, it put me through the roof! Had to have strong antibiotics before I could go back!); a potentially lethal one on the top of my leg (in hospital for an op less than a week before taking the kids on holiday.); and almost as gruesome as the tooth one - which after me biting down hard "exploded" into my mouth 🤢- was one inside my eyelid. It was there for a few years! Eventually I was casually rubbing my eye when the right half of my eye turned a creamy colour...
I get how painful or just how annoying the damned things are. Whenever I see one pop on this channel, I breathe a huge sigh of relief. The cow may still be a bit sore for a while, but that's exponentially better than having to put much of your weight on a "full" abscess. I'm sure they're given antibiotics afterwards to make sure that all the bacteria are gone, but it's that initial pop which makes all the difference!
@y_fam_goeglyd. I’ve had several abscesses too (6), including one that had me in the hospital for a week. Painful when they’re being drained but immediate relief thereafter.
My cat has an abscess from infection by her anal gland rn, and she did such a good job of carefully but consistently licking it that she actually drained it herself and immediately clearly got HUGE relief from that. I’m having to monitor its healing on vet orders and the sight makes me want to hurl because I’m seeing stuff that should be covered by skin, but coincidentally I came across these videos, which … make me feel queasy but less so, almost like practice? It’s not quite like her abscess, I’m pretty sure I can literally see either lower layers of skin or muscle there, but the mild gore and pus here delicately being cared for feels like it might help me acclimatize a little!
This just goes to show how important final check are. I’ve worked as a mechanic before and after making sure whatever preventative maintenance or repairs are finished we’d still do a complete check of the equipment’s operations. Sometimes the problem we fixed was just covering up another problem.
I live near a dairy farm that I don’t often drive by but today we did and there must be thousands of cows and although I’ve live here for 18 years, never once have I wondered about their hoof care. Today I did. What have you done to me. I love your videos and your banter with Craig and Kevin. Thank you for paying for the surgery that Kevin needed he looks 10 years younger, and is pain free. You are a good man💕
50 years ago, I had a friend who became a farrier. These and the horse hoof trimming videos bring him to mind. Makes me wonder what became of him. Lost track when he went off to farrier school and he and my friend broke up.
Wow that was a mess, sometimes things happen for a reason and you cutting into it a wee bit too far was a blessing in disguise. She's definitely on the road to feeling better now. You're the best, man.
♥️🐄
I'm sitting in rehab after surgery and wish you could relieve my pain as easily as you do theirs. I'm in sympathy with these girls and understand how good they must feel after being seen by you and the relief you bring. Thanks on their behalf.
Wishing you all the best in your recovery.
Thanks
I hope you have a quick and easy recovery!
I hope that you heal fast, I've had a lot of surgeries since I was a child mostly opened from just under my breasts down to my pubic area so I feel for you. I use mindfulness and distraction to cope with the pain that I have all the time now along with painkillers. Look after yourself. Xx
i wish you a speedy recovery!
Anyone else here scrolling through metal videos and found themselves watching 2 hours of bovine podiatry videos instead?
They are so addictive for some reason
Yes indeed! And I'm enjoying myself.
Me too. Can’t stop.
Happens to the best of us. Now your algorithm will give you endless opportunities to learn words like “corium”, “white line” and “fistula”.
@@michellejohnson7079 😂 I’m dead!! 😂😂
There’s something so wholesome about the way you praise the farmers who are doing good husbandry work. It’s funny that what is often a pretty gruesome process can be, like, soul-enriching content, but I think that speaks to your personality and values! Keep it up ❤
I live in a city, nowhere near farms and cows, but yours is one of my absolute favourite channels. I've learned a ton about cows and farms and seeing some beautiful footage of the Scottish countryside is such a bonus. You, Craig & Kevin are so incredibly likeable, funny, and great to watch. Thanks for sharing your world.
I always wondered why European butter is so much better, if this is how they normally treat them then it makes a lot more sense
Great video! I love your total honesty. It's so refreshing and we learn so much more than if you glossed over events. The updates are brilliant because we feel included (us armchair trimmers!). The cows are lucky to have you and Kev...and Jack!
For a moment I thought Graham was driving on the correct side of the road!
J
I love that he's so kind and caring with his "patients." It took me to cardiologist #9 but I finally one as kind as Graeme with his patients. ❤
THESE COWS MUST BE SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU GUYS 😊😊😊😊
I'm surprised the cows aren't head- butting each other to be first in line for the crush!
By praising Jack you give him incentive to become better. You are teaching with your videos and giving wisdom at the same time. But you also with the guys break tedium with a bit of comedy. Great stuff Graeme.👏👏👏👌👌👌👋👋👋😊😊😊
Jack seems to be a bit conservative on his trimming, which is better then being very aggressive. Unfortunate about him lowering the rear heel too much, but as GP said it wasn’t too bad. He’s definitely a force for good in that farm and is using every dollar of GP’s training course and tools.
I remember when the Appleton Steel was the new crush. The visit to the factory and Aaron LeVoy was fun.
Those were good days. Graeme's channel was really starting to take off then
I've been a consistent viewer for over a year now, and I think this is the first time I've seen you actually graze a cow. No shame in that at all, it's bound to happen every once in a while, but now that I've seen what a graze looks like, it is all the more obvious how different it looks than all the times that a cow's hoof is producing the red stuff on it's own. A new learning expirence for us!
Cool to see your reaction to the abscess opening up.
The fact that it surprised you, with your experienced eye, highlights the unusual nature of this case, making it all the more gratifying to be exposed to.
Love the video Graham - quick correction, a fistula is an abnormal connection between two places/organs that shouldn't be there. Only known this because I suffered from one that took 3 years and 16 surgeries to fix!
Crohns?.
Fistulas are basically a tract. They can connect two places/organs. Or they can just be a tunnel out. Look up enterocutaneous or atmospheric fistulas ( they are like the manhole up out of the sewer system)
16 goddamn 😭
@LAT I was wondering if it was crohns disease as well as I've had it since I was a little girl and fistulas are common place.
Wow- a friend of mine had a lot of surgeries for his legs because the bones with twisted into the wrong position , but I don’t think he’s gone all the way up to 16!
I love these videos and never get grossed out by the infections. If anything I'm fascinated by how the infections look, and how you help each cow.
That crack looks like it was well on it's way to becoming a problem when you found it. Thank goodness for dedicated trimmers like you (and Jack) who care about their cows' well-being~💝🐂
You are cute! I love watching these videos seeing you relieve their pain. It makes me happy to see you helping these cows!
I always love watching your spraying action and how much you care about each individual trim and especially if there's a problem. 😊👍❤️🐄
I remember when you were using your hand cobbled crush and the crush of your dreams was the Appleton Steel. You were so thrilled when you got it. I still give a smile when I think back to those days when10k subs was so far away. 🤣
I'm so happy to see that Kevin is doing so well after his surgery, you make them tough in Scotland. Thanks for another educational video, I have no need for the knowledge you share but I'm loving learning about it anyway. You all do an amazing job and you look after the cows so well as you have a genuine care for them. Xx
I relate to the relief these girls feel, I had a horrific abscess that I had to wait 9 hours in hospital to treat because it was close to my spine!
I tend to not comment on videos; I like, I subscribe, but I don't comment all that often. But I have to say, your videos are absolutely incredible! The way you care about these gentle giants is truly unmatched, and Scotland is lucky to have you as a hoof trimmer!
Hi Shade, likewise re commenting etc. I'm 69 and "late to the party" re youtube and now everything I subscribe to support them, plus you end up with (slightly) controlling the algorithms. This channel I am addicted to and thoroughly enjoying binge watching. Cheers from a kiwi 😊
Hopefully when you show her to us again next time she's feeling much better and the vet has been able to help her
It never fails to amaze me how good younare at your craft. Love watching you do trims like this, where your meticulousness and care is evident in every movement.
I love your kindness and dedication to making the lives of these animals better. Your willingness to education and expansion of interest in your field is to be commended. I came for the pus and stayed for the rest.
I love how you and your guys love the cows and keeping them well taken care of
This channel so satisfies my daily requirement of "gross yet fascinating" quotient. So satisfying seeing the cows helped. Thanks boyos!
Hi, great and informative 'video as per usual. Glad to see Kevin fully recovered from his back surgery and you have your full team working in harmony, not being sarcastic ha ha. Hope the poor girl's foot is better soon, it was heart breaking to see her limping off hardly daring to put her foot down 😪. Continue enjoy working the best job in the best part of the country. Have a great week.
Graeme...when you crack up, you crack me up! Another great vid. Who knew a 65 year old widow living alone would need cow hoof trimming vids to bring her alot to smile about!
It never clicked for me that the Appleton was still in the shop all this time. Crazy how much damage something as simple as tipping over can do to something that looks as imposing and solid as that machine.
Oddly, I had the opposite intuition! Something that heavy falls hard, but something light can't hurt itself with its own weight. Like how toddlers fall all the time with no damage done, but adults can't do that
I love your opening song, your shorter hair, AND your rapport with your brothers-in-law! Of course, I love your channel, no matter how your hair is cut!! Or not cut!! We learn something every video! And Scotland is gorgeous! I have many relatives from Scotland. Love you and your family!
I agree😂
I randomly found his channel
I thought he was setting it up or something but when I found Craig's video on my recommendation videos I'm like "he made it, bravo.... Hey how in the world did the hoof gp get here on his video cx"
Bravo to the both of you
Really nice recovery on getting the vet's advice. I've done that myself, and I'm in dogs, not cows.
I would love an update on this last cow. I hope she gets better. 😮
Now that trim made my day and hers also. Thank you my family think I’m a sicko but I love your trims.
You’re not a sicko, you’re a fellow member of the heard 😅
God Bless this cow and the hands that helped her. 💜🙏💜
These poor cows. I've been unfortunate enough to have a few abscesses in my life and they're incredibly painful. Thank you so much for helping them! 💕 🐮
Love your genuine care of the cows!! They are blessed to have you and your team looking after them.
So cool that cows are observant enough to tell the difference between crushes...they're not do dumb...❤
Gratitude for your work and filming. God bless from the U.S.
Glad to see you doing better. Take care of yourself. Good to see the Appleton back. Have a great weekend ❤️✌️🐄
Your killing it on UA-cam, I remember watching and being subscribed when you were only a couple hundred. Good for you!!!! You actually wrote me back once which was really good. Cheers to you and your success. Keep up the great videos
Really good lol I meant really cool
I love hearing all the birds that sing around you while you are working. It’s easy to identify them by their song. I hope you find them special too :)
There's so much science and anatomy to the hoof of what you do and need to understand so you trim properly. Amazing.
I've been here since 10,000.
Now nearing 2 million subs, all goes to prove, stick to what you know and are passionate about, and success will be yours. I mentioned this channel to friends and relations,
most sniggered initially, ALL are now subscribed , and none are remotely from a farming background. Addiction is a strange creature 😉
I am so glad to see you back to what you looked like when I first watching your channel….short hair,,,beautiful curls!!
It's so lovely to go on adventures with you lot!
I've watched for awhile and it's been a real pleasure.
Thank you so much for sharing what you do.
You're not only super informative, but you're so entertaining in the best way possible.
It's a great privilege to go along with you all. Thank you so much!t
Also you're just so fabulous to watch.
So funny and enjoyable.
I'm concerned about some of the farmers not providing water for trimming. It makes me wonder if the cows are getting enough water. 😢
It’s great to see Kevin doing well!!
This goes to show that sometimes even the best of the best need a little luck. Letting us see your genuine surprise at when it popped really kept it real. No trying to act like you had a hunch it would happen. Just an honest admission that it almost got by you and gratitude that it didn’t.
You can tell that Kevin is used to being in front of the camera ! He's a natural !
Oh my goodness…great to see the Appleton back in action…I remember your ‘custom’ crush and when the Appleton was the crush of your dreams…look how far you’ve come… you deserve it for your hard work and dedication to your craft ❤
Even though you couldn't get all of it, I bet miss moo still felt a lot better after that pressure was released!
Having had some abcesses on my toes, I can affirm the relief when the pressure is released!
I love how you constantly remind people that these cows are well taken care of.
I love your videos. It's plain to see how much you care for the cows you treat. And the bonus laughs are great too. 😊
My heart is breaking seeing her hold her leg up after just a few steps 😢
Wow, I have not been on UA-cam for well over a year and my oh my, your channel has taken off getting over a million people to sub, well done you. I know you would have not thought your channel would take off the way it has. I remember that old crush you had and when you went to America to place an order for your crush it seems so long ago now. Well done I am so pleased for you and for showing the public just how much work goes into farm animals, they don't just live in a field they need lots of care like you going and taking such great care of their feet along with the stockman or women that do such a great job they know each animal and if they're off in some small way there on it fast.
Great job, to help the animals have some relief from the pain. ❤
👍
You are a miracle worker! Thank you for helping all these cows and bulls ❤❤❤
J
Respect for Jack doing what he could but who would've guessed that there was more that met the eye... well guess it's good it didn't go in your eye.
Also, love it when you say Kev-boi or Greggy-boy because they're big bulky me who look like they'd me able to snap me in half by just glaring at me 😂😂😂
I absolutely loved that krush and wish you still you used it more often!!
I love GP's obvious care for the cows. ❤
I love the places that routinely get their animals' hooves trimmed, I hope the cows get happy when they see you guys pulling up for their routine mani/pedi 💅
I love that you build up and support your peers, and correct without criticizing.
So I love your videos, I worked for a funeral home that dealt with my cities corners office, and saw so much death, and gruesome things it kinda scared me, but it also made me miss the gore, you have allowed me to see the gore, and it in a helpful way, you help these cows, and I feel since it’s not someone like me I can watch,it has help me break my issues, no more dreams of all the closed eyes.. all of the faces. All the crying families. The job broke me and this videos have help me back together.
2m + subscribers. Wow !...! There are more people like me that love the Hoof GP, his work and family!!
These videos are so satisfying and so cool to me and I love how nice and gentle he is when he knows the cows are in pain in some way
I didn't know you still had the Appleton. I missed it too.
Thank you for using it again, it does bring back memories.
Maybe a bit of oil here and there?
Glad to see you wearing safety gear
Hard to believe how much pain that poor cow was in thank you for helping the poor thing
The steams good for your complexion. You crack me up!!
Great videos.
Love the video format. Wish more people used it! And great job btw, really love your vids and it's so nice to see how much you help the cows!! ❤️
Thank you for driving, Kev.
Watching this late at night, I began to wonder , do they make crushes for cats? I know Im getting off subject, but my cat is watching this with me (yes, he had always dreamed of being a barn cat, we all have our dreams) and last time I tried to be trim his nails, let's just say, I barely escaped with all my limbs intact. Anyway, just a bit of musing, Phineas says hello and you did a great job, as usual. Phin is thinking of taking your course - he doesnt understand he needs thumbs. Now we are off to watch some lambing - my favorite time of year (the sheep game, of course). Thanks for your entertaining and informative videos. We love them 😊
Closest thing I've seen is a squeeze cage. Basically it's a cage with a sliding wall that you can push in to trap the cat - vets use them when working with exotic big cats like tigers to keep them still for a needle. But it wouldn't be easy to clip their nails in a setup like that. Personally, what I've found works best is to break up the trim - mid-snuggle, I grab their paw and clip one or two nails and then go back to the snuggle, and wait hours or days to clip the next couple nails.
My cat hides her paws from me, but happily lets the vet tech trim away🤪
I love this man! I can see his personality and character shine through these videos! 🫶🏼🐮
Absolutely fab. Not picking away at a student’s work, but grading it like a teacher in school would…. Good job but room for improvement Jack,
With a little more practice he’s going to improve even more.
When are you back at low drummore
You three are all fine looking! 👍👍 You make a great team. Good to see Kevin looking comfortable.
It seems like every cow thinks that they’re fast enough to get out out the crush before it closed. It’s quite comical. 😂❤ love this channel!!
That 18+ joke was good
I love that solid laugh at Kevin! LOL Hilarious! Great job Graem and Kevin. Tell him to stop making the cows drooling over him!
😊I love your channel and your concern for the cows. Keep up the good work!
It’s really nice to know Scottish take such good care of their cows. I hope America does as well.❤
I'd love to see an episode where we see thr vet do the work that's out of your hands!
Love watching you knife work because I think it is the best way of trimming. You have giving her pain some relief which is why you are the master. Outstanding job. Keep up the great work.
I love the fun and sarcasm and camaraderie you all have - in Texas we’d say y’all have 😜😜thanks Graeme, Kevin and Craig for the laughs 😂 Love ya guys ❤️ from Texas, Rose
