You know the Cow or Bull in this case is feeling a lot better when they turn around when getting out of the crush to say "THANK YOU"
Love those look backs❤️🐄
I thought he was turning around to see what the machine looks like that he wants to take his revenge upon :)
@@abnunga that's more likely.
I nearly said same thing...confirmed that happened
Interesting how they do that
I love when the cows and bulls turn around and look at you when they’re let out of the crush. I wonder whether they are saying thanks or piss off. I can’t begin to imagine how that hurt or how long it was there. Great job!!
Most likely, "piss off" lol
Probably dependsnon the animal :D
The bulls are probably deciding to charge or not most bull's are not nice
They're Scottish cows so likely the latter! 😂
This one was a bit turned on at the GP I think lol.
*I really appreciate the farmers allowing you to film. Everyone should know that accidents happen. illness happens ... none of it the fault of the farmers. The facts that they have you coming to care for their cows proves they're proactive in caring for the cows. Thank you farmers for allowing us to learn about hoof care via your cows! Love watching your family business grow, HI Kevin!!!*
The farmers don't really care about the bull enough otherwise they would see that earlier.
Une
@@talsapps if they didnt care about the bull, they wouldn't have called anyone to come in and help him. Maybe this was the soonest he could get to the farm to help them, it isnt always the farmers fault. They are only humans too afterall
@@talsapps Why you say that? I’m not agree with you
@@alfiyaa8214 because the bull jad it in the foot long enough for it to grow over it. For the farmer to not notice for such a long time means he clearly didn't care for the bull enough.
That *BULL* was most definitely saying a MASSIVE *THANK YOU* at the end. His face when he stepped out of that machine shows *ABSOLUTE RELIEF* ...❤❤❤
Cows and Bulls are not the dumb animals most people believe, they might no win any nobel prizes, but they are gentle, sensitive creatures.
@@Choober65 They are both amazing creatures when treated right...
I could almost hear what that bull was thinking when he stepped out of the crush and looked back, like “Omg thank you so much my hoof feels so much better!” Wishing him a speedy recovery
That moment caught me as well. He was saying thank you for sure! Hope he got some pats and a good deal of food for doing so well.
he was *showing* how happy he was, too
I love it thank you!!!
Absolutely love how after he stepped completely out of the crush and put the weight on that front hoof he turned back and looked at you like hey wait a minute thanks you know before he walked away
Los animales que divinos y agradecidos tienen lo mejor en sus corazones
Love how the bull looked back at you after leaving the crush. He may have hated being stuck, but he knows you helped and is thanking you for it.
He was *_SO OBVIOUSLY THANKFUL_* for what you've done.
Great job! And no - could not imagine how much that must have hurt. Animals have a tendency to hide pain as much as possible so we know he hurt more than it looked like. Thanks Graeme!
That's a new one, hiding pain?? They're just are a lot bigger than we are so it seems a lot worse to us.
I've got rusty nail in my foot for only two minutes, i can really feel for that bull, when he walked around with this for who knows how long.
@@WL22345 yes i was fine after my doctor cleaned it up.
Gg
That poor bull! 3 sore feet and 1 with a wire through the sole. How miserable his day's must have been. I'm so happy he had some immediate relief and is on the road to recovery. Great job sir. 👏
He must have been a stubborn bull to be able to do his job in spite of the pain.
@@kansmill when he first lifts the sore hoof and wipes of the greenish brown stuff, is that poo?
Awe I love when they turn around and look, you know it’s their way of saying thank you
I love it after they come out of the crush, they turn back and it’s like they’re realizing the immediate difference and saying “thank you!” ❤😊
This is just heartbreaking for this big guy!!! I can only imagine how much pain he's been in. There's so much damage caused by that piece of metal. I'm glad you were able to get it all cleaned up and hopefully he'll feel better very soon. I hope the farmer gave him an antibiotic and some pain meds till he completely mends!!! Stay blessed!!! Love you guys!!! ❤🤗🙏🏻
That is a very nice thing to say about the bull 😀😃😄😁😆👍
I know you probably won't see this, but, your videos have really helped me the past few months. I have been going through chemotherapy for a retinal blastoma(a cancerous tumor in my eye) and actually just got home from my fourth treatment to it. I'm a pretty rare case too! normally retinal blastomas are found in really little kids, but I'm 17. Anyways, once I saw the notification that you uploaded, I just had to watch. Thank you for doing what you do, Graeme. Your channel has helped me so much. 💙💙💙 (Also,sorry if this sounds confusing, I have a hard time writing down my thoughts)
You did great on writing it down. I do pray for you to heal completely from your cancer. And, just know that even though GP may not see this, I did. You have been seen & heard by someone. Do whatever it is you need to do to help yourself physically AND mentally. I wish you the brightest of Blessings that this Universe has to offer. Good luck & stay safe.
I’ll be praying for you 🙏🏽 I had that scare with my daughter but she turned out to be totally blind Thank God for good Drs and meds Best wishes for a good recovery 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
You did great, especially after a rough day. Fluency comes with time and tons of practice, so keep at it and you can become a really great communicator. Hope all goes well and you are much better very soon!
Art_Games_and_Writing, you're doing well to watch and retain what you've seen, and then make lucid comments! I experienced "chemo brain", too, several years ago and I could watch the same TV show twice, and not remember it. God bless your healing!
Best wishes in treatment and recovery. You're doing a great job!
I've had an abcess on the bottom of my foot before. Can confirm getting treated is by far the worst pain I've ever experienced and can't imagine anything worse than that. The whole emergency room heard me screaming when they operated. But damn the relief the cows feel afterward must be amazing! Oh, I'm not a cow. You're a hero dude!
Hmmm.... Pray you never need spinal fusion surgery...
I had a abscess that contained several hundred millilitres of puss on my inner upper thigh. i could barely walk by the time i got to hospital, the doctor squeezed it all out with his hands, no aesthetic, it hurt so much i was laughing. i asked him if much was coming out as i couldn't see, he said "yes, lots".
I've had one just near my buttcrack💀 That was not the only problem though. I was becoming very weak and slim. I had pain on my back but we never thought that it could be an abscess. I could not sit and I ate my breakfast standing. As my condition beacame really worse and I could not even stand, my parents took me to the hospital. My life in the hospital was literally the worst. Soon, my doctors found out that I had Chrohn's disease or something like that. Later, they cleaned the abscess and it was the best feeling in my life. It was like 2 years ago and I'm perfectly fine now.
He turned around like “thanks dude!” 😂 he has to feel so much better. Great Job!
I live in chronic pain from a chronic abscess condition. My heart breaks for this guy and all your cows with these painful lesions! I’m so glad you can help them. There’s so little that they do to help humans and pain relief isn’t a priority so it does me good seeing you put their comfort as a top priority!
Oh I am so sorry!
Oh my word I had an abscess ONCE and the pain was extraordinary, I’m so sorry!
I am so sorry..I live in full body, intractable pain. 24/7/365. It's been 10 years (again) without palliative care (I was untreated my entire childhood, though I have been in constant pain since birth). The pain alone is killing me, and I am now at "high risk" for sudden death, though I am still quite young. Untreated, chronic/intractable pain destroys the endocrine system, wears out the heart, causes heart attacks and strokes, early onset dementia, severe sleep deprivation, etc. etc....untreated pain kills. Every. Single. Time. It's the Nazi T4 program all over again. Deny vital medical care to the "incurables" and watch them "die off."
@@ThKiwi I’m sorry you had one. I have 13 at the moment. It makes life pretty rough but KZhead videos like this are a wonderful distraction!
@@StartAtTheEnd I’m sorry you live with this. I tell people that I don’t even remember what it’s like to wake up without pain. I don’t remember what a “good” day feels like. I’m fortunate that mine can be managed (I have a total of 5 autoimmune disorders and a brain tumor). I hope there will be change and break through because you lose your mind being in constant pain
Yikes. We had a small farm with longhorns and angus. We were always scanning the fields for such things. Unfortunately fencers we hired often left old fencing remnants behind. Thankfully they were never in the feet but rather elsewhere. Wrapped around heads and bodies or legs. It’s so awful how much damage even the smallest piece can do so much damage
I hope you reamed them out.
I can't stand it when people just leave their trash where animals are likely to get into it. Scrap metal was always such a problem at my aunt's farm. She and her husband did not practice good animal husbandry and even as a kid, it pissed me off. I remember having to sneak up on a half-blind Belgian that had a bit of old barbed wire tangled in his feathering that was slowly cutting his leg. Luckily, he was a very tolerant old boy that let me cut it out and clean his leg, despite not being much of a handled horse. He could have crushed my stupid 12-year old skull flat if he wanted. The only reason why he had contact at all with old wire is because they couldn't be bothered to dispose of the old wire when mending a fence. Sheer laziness.
@@mokko759 That's so sad! 😭
Most of the Belgian I have known were usually always so sweet & intuitive. Especially around kids. I know it's frowned on now but my little brother could walk all around a team his grandpa had when he was a toddler. They were like big nanny dogs 😍
@@animeaunty I've worked with Belgians and I agree.
Love when you can create so much pain relief in one trim! Also loving the music. It makes me so happy.
That piece of metal made me gasp out loud. Soo happy the bull is able to walk without pain now.
I feel horrible for how satisfying watching you clear away a loose double sole is knowing how much pain and trauma it must’ve put the poor creature through to get to that state. Thank you so much for always doing what you can to help them. It’s hard for an animal to speak for themselves so to have someone actively listening to them and helping is a blessing
Dont feel bad. Its satisfying because you know deep down its helping it heal and become better.
The hoof GP is a legend
Agreed
I love how he walks out of the crush and not only looked back at you but also his next few steps were like he couldn't believe that the pain is finally gone!
Love how they turn around and look at you like saying thank you!
Love what you are doing and you are motivating me to take classes just so i can work in a farm and help the bovines 😄
This is one of the most entertaining channels on KZhead 👇Who agrees
The best thing about you is, you can feel and identify their pain which is so kind. Keep up man 👍👍👍
Sir you are so awesome, you went straight to the problem. Removed it, drained it, cleaned it and made it comfortable for the bull. Excellent video!
This channel offers everybody something. Whether it be knowledge of bovine hoof health, Scotland cows and their beauty or just the positivity Graeme shows and every video. We can never forget about Craig who is the backbone to our favorite hoof trimmer. Without Craig who I assume teases and pushes Graeme to be the best hoof trimmer he can be so Craig can learn from him. Every great mentor has a protégée that’s wanting to learn more. Love y’all both from Shreveport,Louisiana in America and hope to visit and meet y’all one day. I past some cows today and I checked for lameness out of habit lol
So impressed by how much you care about the animals. It’s obvious that this is more than just a job for you
I fell into your site by accident about 4 months ago and I keep coming back to it. Now I am a city dweller and don't know zip about cows but I am learning a ton about them from you. While the trimming part is fascinating it is your knowledge that keeps me coming back. When you explain something I am amazed at the depth of your understanding and, even more, how long it must have taken you to acquire it. Now I could never work with cows, they are filthy animals and apparently pretty stupid, but you give each one a personality which makes watching much more enjoyable. So thanks for the hours of entertainment and understanding you provide.
Glad you caught this before it got really messy! I love how this big man is almost pleasantly surprised at how much better he feels - I was nearly expecting some heel-clicking!
That was insane, l can't imagine how painful that must have been. Great job by you guys yet again.
You can tell he’s so grateful to had that pain gone away!! He walked out, looked back… awesome 🤩
@@lfc945 ahahahahah
@@lfc945 I am doing well, thank you. How about you? They still deserve to be cared for and to be helped thou 🙂 Humans are the only beings that know consciously we’ll die… all the other ones live in the Present moment, in the Now. Are you a vegan? Just curious
@@lfc945 hi Tom and thank you for your compliment 🌻 I am Brazilian, but I live in the USA. I am not sure if I understood what you meant… lol A bit confusing ☺️
@@lfc945 I meant all the emojis… that’s a bit confusing 😉 I am not vegan, just don’t eat meat regularly. Thanks again for the compliment! Take care ☺️
I really like how much love and care you put into your work :) The animals definitely appreciate it too
I look forward to seeing your happy attitude and bubbly personality,
I’m so glad I live alone cause I was actually saying stuff like “there there, big guy you’ll feel better don’t you worry” at the screen as his hoof horn was being trimmed away.
Omg me too! I think I am nuts
I must admit I never for one minute thought hoof trimming could be so interesting and varied
Your care, for all of these animals, shows in your videos. I am always absolutely amazed with what you share with us. I know it's silly, but you dedication to your trade, and the love you share for it, is inspirational.
He was such a well behaved boy considering how much pain he was in Nice clean up job Hoof GP
I cringed with every cut of the blade for that gorgeous bull and no matter how many humans thank you for all the wonderful work you do - nothing compares to the look an animal gives you after you have helped their every step feel better. I love your channel and the passion you bring to us you are truly an inspiration
You did a brilliant job. You can tell how much better he felt with the way he calmly walked away. Poor thing that must have been agony!
I don't have a farm with cows, but I love cows. I love how compassionate and caring you are. So very interesting. Love your videos!!
Watching him testing that front foot and then deciding to put all his weight on it was very heartwarming.
Thanks for this video GP. Poor guy was in great pain and you started him on the road to recovery. I love when they look back at you like, "What happened? My feet feel different now." while he notices his feet feeling differently, and that wire was pulled out of his foot.
So sweet of you to document that process for us. It definitely can take a lot out of you. Make sure you replenish yourself often. You give to others often and you deserve it.
Love how after a few steps he stops and looks back. Almost like saying Thank you. 😍
Thank you for making the repair to his hoofs so he feels better ❤️
Being of Scottish descent myself I'm proud to see a fellow scotsman taking care of the homeland. 😃
Ouch! Makes me think this was the kind of thing as to why my grandad always carried a small pair of plyers in his pocket - he always lived on a working farm, raised cows to show through 4-H as a kid, and even judged cattle in college. He passed away last week at the age of 92 and I wish I could have talked to him more about this kind of stuff as we didn't even know about the judging bit until we stumbled on his medallion after the funeral. Thank you for these videos, they are both entertaining and make me feel closer to my family's past - especially now.
Moc se mi líbí jak svoji práci děláš poctivě a jak k ni přistupuješ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey I know you probably don't have time to read all these comments but I just want you to know I follow you all I can watch all the videos I possibly can I just want to say the things you do for these cows and the bulls is absolutely amazing I'm such an animal lover and I hate to see anything in pain and what you do for these guys it's heartwarming and touches my soul just wanted to let you know how much people do appreciate what you do when you deserve all the praise in the world for helping these guys feel better keep up the good work I love your videos and what you do thanks again for everything
Graeme, I just LOVE how much you care about these magnificent animals!!! And the educational value of your videos shows us that love and affection. You're my hero!!!
Love... love love love, the reaction to stepping out without pain. That realization that they feel so much better is amazing to watch.
I love how much you care for these cows. You’re a good person. ♥️
The best haircut you've shown us till now.. Congrats for z hair style & many blessings for relieving zat big boy..
You’re so great with these amazing animals!! At the end when he looked back it was like he was saying “Thanks man, I feel so much better”! And I’m sure he does!! Much love from America! 💗💗💗
He actually looked very relaxed walking out of that crush, and I’m guessing he may have even been medicated to some degree based on his prolapsed prepuce… or in layman’s term, his red rocket was out. Lol Either way, he looked very appreciative to longer be in pain!
You are such a brilliant compassionate man. I live your work. Angie from Melbourne Australia 🥰🥰
I can't imagine having a big splinter stuck in my foot for such a long time, this poor baby must've been in so much pain :c So glad that you helped him c:
Hey Graeme, thank you so much for your videos! Watching yours, and many others' videos have taught me SO much, even to the point I'm starting to notice cows who desperately needs a trimming. What's funny about this is I only raise and breed chickens. I also show them in exhibition poultry shows and I am trying to become an American Poultry Association certified poultry judge. Despite all of this, at my local county fair I noticed that a massive majority of the cattle there had so many issues with their hooves. I live in a small, farming community. Beef and dairy cattle are the second most common livestock that's raised here. The first being swine. So you'd think these people would take better care of their cattle, especially if they're for dairy! If I had the physical strength and time, I would SO learn how to become a hoof trimmer. Thank you so much for caring for these gentle and flighty giants, and thank you for teaching those like myself about this kind of thing, as many of us don't even realize cows, and even horses need this kind of care.
Know the feeling! I like doing jigsaw puzzles, and find myself identifying plants and animals and rocks--all kinds of things--automatically. Critiquing movies etc too. Absolutely amazing how many cattle I now notice, too....we are more informed by what we take even a passing interest in than I think we really realize. Totally fun!
He looks SO much more comfortable now. People will say “they’re just cows why do you care?” It’s simple, because they’re living breathing animals that are sharing this world with us. They deserve to be taken care of like this. Thank you for what you guys do!
😭😭😭😭😭🐂🐃🐖🐖🐑🐑🐑
I learned a lot in this video. Thank you! I'm uneducated on this topic. I was curious about pain & their hooves because of his reaction when you hit the nail in his foot. I also understand that of course you can't leave it in there. I enjoyed & glad he's feeling better 😇
Bravo man. Regardless of how anyone feels about factory farming, everyone can agree your doing divine work for those creatures.
It's so good to see how much better they walk after the trim. ❤️ he must be in incredible pain. Poor boy!
Out of the amazing videos I have watched where there have been major infections, the bull that had the wire was embedded and the blocks you put on his hoofs. One he got out of the crusch (sp) he stopped and turned to view you and I truly believed he was telling you thank you. As a subscriber I want to thank you for all you do for these animals!!
Thank you for helping them
In my eyes you are a Hero thx for this good Work please continue your Work Gerhard from Austria
He's looking back like "what kind of sorcery this guy put me through? I'm feeling much better now!"
Fantastic work! It is always such a relief to the cows and bullw when you are finished with them!!
I do not live on a farm. I do not own a cow. However, I find your videos extremely fascinating and entertaining.
Another well-done surgery! 🙏🏼❤
Thank you for your good work ❤️❤️❤️...and that you're taking us all with you on this "journey of recovery". This thing was surely extremely painful for this poor bull. The farmers, you work with, make good work too. Greetings from Germany and merry Xmas to all. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Im happy about what you do for these animals 🤗
Bless you for the work you do good sir. I hope for every good thing for you since you take care of these animals. Your vids show you really care.
Poor baby, thank you SO much for being so gentle, and kind...
It never fails, when you fix a cow or bulls painful hoof, then let them out if the crush. They always seem to glance back towards you as if to say “thanks”!!!🥰🥰🥰
We had problems at my work with stray bits of metal puncturing tires. We finally got a tool to pick that stuff up and it's helped a lot. It looks like an old school push mower, but it's a magnet. You just push it around any area that you think has nails, screws or other metal debris and it picks up most of it. Do the farmers have such a tool? It would be a good investment especially if there's been construction work going on near barns and sheds on the farm.
My dad is in construction and as a kid he’d get me to run this across the driveway from time to time. It was actually kinda fun to do
I just love the way he look’s back, as if to say thanks. 👍❤️Aileen
God bless you. Animals can't tell us when they are in pain. I appreciate all you do.
Сам держу животных, но такое вижу впервые.Завтра всех пересмотрю своих кормилиц, на предмет наличия всякого ненужного в их ножках. Автору большого Человеческого уважения, за Твой труд. 🤝🤝🤝
Потом расскажи
Amazing how fast they can feel better and heal. I imagine that wire was acting like a lever every time he put weight on it. I guess if he was gonna get tetanus he'd have had it by now. Hope your shots are up to date . Thankyou for sharing.
The bull expresses thanks. Heart warming!.
Great Job. You're very Blessed at being given the knowledge and fortitude to help these needy animals. God Bless You.
I'm curious. When you find an infected wound like this, does the farmer usually administer antibiotics, or call a vet, or something?
What a beautiful bull, so glad you managed to take out that wire, poor lad he must have been in agony. Here's to a speedy recovery. Great job 👍🏽 xx
That gave me chills, glad you could make the big guy feel better.
I never watch tv or movies and this one has me holding my breath. Thank you for your good work and God bless!
why don't you wash it first before working on the cow?
🖕🏾🫵🏾
Could you wash with water first pls.Bring a nail puller next time.
That would really help
I so love the ‘Thank you!’ look they give you ❤️❤️
Love from Florida USA 🇺🇸. Love your music 🎶, how much you care about the animals, and LOVE to the farmers ❤️
been watching these vids does this only happen to OUR cattle in the pens or does it happen in the wild too? If it happens in the wild is that when the lions and wolfs move in to make a kill?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t happen in the wild. You can find all kinds of stuff out there. I actually found my favorite hoof pick while tracking a deer lol. If there is something that can puncture, it doesn’t matter if the animal is wild or domesticated.
For one there is no "in the wild" for cows. Cows are domesticated animals they don't exist in the wild Secondly yea, animals get injuries and it just hurts until they get killed or die. Sickly or lame animals are usually easy pray as you mention
@@DimT670 yeah yeah yeah I was thinking of hoofed animals, using Darwins theory they should all be related and experience the same problems was what I was thinking .....
In my mind I’m just like wash off the hoofs before you work on them 🤷🏽♂️
Ur not alone
I love how much you truly care. there not just a cow or bull there animals with feelings like humans to.and you treat them with heart and you treat them with love and that's what I love that about u and u know your job well nice 😊
Thx for taking care of my prime rib
If you weren't sure that you had extracted all the wire, would you have access to an X-Ray machine to check?
For sure
Why can’t you just wash it a little before starting? That’s gross
Sweet relief ! Thank you for the work you do !
Such kindness to a beautiful animal. Great work 👍🏻
