Love how the cow looks back at you after the trim is done. I think they know that you just made their feet more comfortable and are thanking you by looking back before leaving. I love and really enjoy watching your videos; from NB Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️

I am reminded of the line, "A stitch in time saves nine." When simple problems aren't caught and changed, one problem layers on another problem and it gets to something like you have in this video. I am sincerely hoping you can find your way through to a workable repair, even if it takes multiple trims to get there. I am glad you explain that this cow had an ankle infection that started distortion. For her, the result was uncomfortable but comfort can be restored to a large degree. That was a pretty normal walk when she got out out of the crush. Nice work.
I love it when the cows turn around after testing out their new trim. Saying “thanks for the help and relief “. What great feeling that must be.

I found the HGP by accident and have been watching all your videos, and a few of the other shows like the HGP.

Wow! That was a doozie! She walked out smooth as can be. Yeah Team Graeme! 👍🇺🇸❤️
I always love to see the girls turn around when you’re done helping them. I believe they can feel the difference and look back to figure out what just happened to make things better. If a cow could say thank you, this is the way they’d do it. 🐄❤️🐄
So glad she's walking better. It was nice to see her realize, "That normal feeling I get from my foot as of late isn't there anymore. I feel so much better." It's just so nice to see her reaction like that.
I love it when you show the girls walking after their pedicure!
I always think that look back at you after you've sorted their feet out is a thank you.
It brought tears to my eyes when she took a few steps, realized how different she felt and stopped to turn around and looked as if to "thank you".
Wow great trim you can actually still see the cow lifting her leg higher, compensating for the overgrowth. Im sure she’s happy you helped her
So cute how she backed out of the crush! Good thing there was no oncoming traffic! Love, love, love your curls….wish you’d wear eye protection.
KZread needs a HEART button just for the HoofGP. Your content is better than any network programming. Please keep up the wonderful videos. ❤️❤️
Thank you for checking and checking to make sure it looks good for her to walk on and especially thank you for not rushing and taking your time for her sake. You are truly up above all. I have cows (Florida, USA) and have never had to have their hooves worked on.
I love that you talk directly with the farmer about why and how the cow's claw contorted that way! You change these cow's lives for the better making them more comfortable.

Really good job Graham. What a difference that trim made. Your explanations make the video so much more interesting, and the do help the viewer understand what is going on. ( Well, they help me anyway ) I’m sure she felt immediately better. Another ‘feel good’ video. Thanks for posting Graham.
Thank you for your great compassion for animals! It was at the end, and I noticed yet another "look back in gratitude". A beautiful video!
This video surely illustrates the knowledge and experience needed to be an excellent hoof trimmer. Another trim well done! Keep 'em coming.
Graham, I LOVE your videos and how caring you are towards the animals! You do a fantastic job and those cows are lucky to have you in that beautiful area. I wish you'd wear your eye protection more often tho... all that debris flying around is an eye injury waiting to happen! Don't make me come over there and give you a 'seeing to' ! LOL....seriously tho.... EYE PROTECTION PLEASE... all the time! The cows need you !

Hello 👋 Kandi. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado,, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Thank you for what you do. I am a retired farmers wife in Kentucky. With Setting up my garden for the fall and winter it makes for a busy day. It’s actually relaxing to Watch someone take such good care of animals.
When you first put the grinder to the overgrown horn, my thought was " where in that overgrowth is the foot?" I was concerned that you may cut into it trying to alleviate the overgrowth. But all of my knowledge of cattle feet comes from watching you and I knew you would take care of her. That you.🙂
I'm not a farmer, I'm not even sure how your videos popped up in my feed but I'm so glad they did! Such great work and absolutely fascinating to watch, I'm now watching these daily before I go to bed 😁 Keep up the great work, you're AMAZING!! 😍

Someone needs to help me because I can’t figure it out. I can’t stop watching these hoof trimming videos, I’m mesmerized. I send them to my brother and he thinks I’m nuts.
Love watching your videos, my grandpa had farms in Brazil all his life and every time we were there I was helping, miss waking up 6am to drink warm milk direct from cow to my mug, good memories.
Look how much better she walks. So happy you were able to give her the best treatment and make her days better.
*Thank you for your service* in helping keep these cows as comfortable as possible. ❤️
Graeme you show so much love and compassion to these cows. That is why I love your videos! Your compassion for animals that too many people think are stupid and ignorant, when in reality, they are in a lot of ways, smarter than dogs! They also are more loving and protective of their master. Cows are amazing! Keep up the great work and continue to put out great videos like this one. 👍👍!
I think I’m one of the few subscribers that actively searched for cow trimming videos. I started watched farrier videos in horse trimming for years and decided to see if any other animals had foot care like that and they do. So glad I found your channel. You’ve got a lot more personality than the other people I’ve watched which makes it a lot more entertaining to watch
One of the BEST hoof trimming videos I've seen! (I have watched a few LOL). Well done!!
That's OK you can fix anything. Do people ever ask to bring a single cow to you? Do you ever go to small farms with 1-10 cows? How is the bull that lost the whole bottom of his hoof. I cried when he couldn't get up. It was so heat wrenching. I was so afraid he would have to be put down, but like always you fixed him up. Thank you for what you do.

As much as hoof trimmers want to, they can't fix everything. That's the reality of it. When they can't fix it, they try to keep them as comfortable as possible with each visit. Between visits, some farmers do the best they can to keep them comfortable.

Graeme bought a second crush. This one. It's small enough that he can operate it on his own. Now he can go to farms to check out individual cows and fix them up, or work emergency calls, or do rechecks. Then he can catch up with Craigie and brother-in-law to continue working the regular herds. 🐃🐄🐂💜

Why did they let Her feet overgrow? That’s so cruel
Your videos are so interesting, such a skilled hoof trimmer. I asked my Mom when we milked cows if we had problems like this. We had Holsteins too and she said we did not but our climate here in Iowa (USA) is not wet and humid like Scotland. It makes me feel so good inside to see these cows put on the road to recovery. Thank you for taking care of all the "Moo cows"!
TheHoofGP is the man! This was amazing. I'm from Oklahoma where our cattle mean the world to us. I didn't even know this hoof trimming was a thing until I started watching you. Keep up the great work!!

So sweet, how she looks back at you, Graeme…as if to say: “Dude…how did you do that? Feels great - Thank you”. Like so many others have said…you’ve really got us hooked, Graeme. It’s like Veterinary Biology meets Detective work meets Art form. And all underlined with your care and concern for these bovine beauties, and your clients. This isn’t a job…it’s a calling, like Nursing or being a Vet. You have to be willing to put up with a lot of crap (in your case, manure) but you do it because you know you can make a difference. Well Done !
Hands down one of my favorite farrier videos, you did a fabulous job with her and she thanked you for it ...
You are a joy to watch. Your commentary and comon sense are refreshing. Please dont stop or ever change. 😊
As a dairy farmer in NZ mate, Been watching your videos for couple of months and you and your family do amazing job with the girls mate.
What a difference! I love what you do on these videos!
I know nothing about caring for cows. You make it very interesting. Thank you! I could listen to you talk all day- loving the accent!
One of the reasons I love watching this, with having nothing to do with livestock, is because of the genuine love & compassion that GP has for these beautiful creatures. To see him doing what he loves; making sure these animals lives as comfortable & hoof health shape as possible. All the while, educating the YT community that didn't know this was a thing and others (who did) tips and exchanging methods. Sometimes, we can get to see actual good people who have humanity in their souls. Unfortunately, some people forget about that.
Fantastic job, man. Great to see her walking like that again! 👌
Good to see these repairs bring a better gait to her walking. Another great job, Graeme! I am missing the jokes and verbal bantering of you and Craig!
Man the way you treat the animals with kindness and compassion is great to see. New subscriber!
Wonderful trimming! So cute how she turns around to say thank you.
This cow is getting happier by the second
Hi Graham, you do such a fantastic job with these cows.
You’re great at your job Graem! This foot looks 💯% better, the way the big girl looks back to you at the end of the video is always with gratitude.
Wow! That girl looks back at you saying hey! Whatever u just did feels great, we r now friends. Love it and thank you so much for the care u take in each cow, bull, buffalo u trim.
She can't say thank you but I can. thank you for helping her and working on her feet. I really enjoy watching you do this for cows.
An outstanding job. Amazing video. She looks so much better and more comfortable. New Hampshire, USA.
Fantastic job! I can see the gratitude in that cow’s eyes when she looked back at you. It’s wonderful to see how you help these cows with such care and kindness.

Thanks for this video. Seems like there are endlessly different scenarios when it comes to cow hooves. I am always drawn in to watch another. Your commentary is relaxing, and the music you play is outstanding. I think what I really am enjoying to watch is the art form that you display with your hands. You create a bit of beauty with every trim. Thank you for sharing that. I will watch for as long as you post. New Hampshire, USA
That was a huge foot....I cant believe how well it turned out after you had finished with her. Glad she had no underlying problems, great job 💛💛
Thank you for the unusual trim! This was fascinating to view!
I just love the way they stop and look back as if to say “thank you.”
After watching one of your videos about a dairy farm that makes Millionaire Shortbread ice cream, I looked it up. Been making the non-ice cream version and it has become everyone’s favorite. Also, it has become my favorite story to tell how I found out about it 😂
I really appreciate the care you take with the animals you work with. You can tell you really care about their well being and comfort.

It seems to me that you and your hoof trimming team are getting a little lax about safety matters. The last 3 videos Mr Farmer Husband and I have noticed that you haven't been using your safety masks. It just takes 1 fractious cow or slight slip of the grinder to cause damage. Be very careful. PS great job on this little lady's hoof.

First, let me send condolences for the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Second, that hoof was incredible! It's clear the infection left scarring in the ankle, and warped the hoof growth. I hope that's temporary. You do fantastic work, and it's obvious the cattle are grateful, as seen in those looks back. Cheers!
Biggest hoof ever.. and no face shield ! You’re going to lose an eyeball
Great work Graeme, so glad they have your expertise.
That looks like one happy cow. Thank you for sharing!
GP, what is it going to take to have you wear eye protection during every trim? If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for all of the people who depend on you and all of the people (like me), who care about you! ❤

I love these videos! For three decades, I rode and trained competition horses. GP's equivalent in the horse industry is a farrier. A good farrier was worth their weight in gold! "No hoof, No horse"! Our veterinarians and farriers would often consult with each other for a course of action. We relied on our farrier as an indispensable member of our team!
I think thats the longest overgrown hoof I've seen. She looked quite happy when she was all finished. I think that she will be glad to see you stop by again to do her pedi!
Didn't take her long to realise she no longer had to lift her leg as high to walk. She initially was lifting that leg high, but by the end back in her pen, she was walking normally. Great outcome.
