I have the same & likewise am so grateful I found The Hoof GP. It does wonders to ease my anxiety & depression due to complexPTSD.

I imagine there are those people the are mean and make you remember those horrible things 😢😢😢

I have PTSD and this channel really helps with its positivity and helps me feel like everything is going to be ok.

I watch them before bed too

I also suffer from PTSD and general anxiety. This really helps me to relax as well.

God bless you! Keep up the good efforts!

I've never had a Jersey cow, but I have a Jersey dad& he has a whole family. They're pretty much the same.... I still love all of them. Lmao

You need to send him plans on how to add elect driven, steerable wheels for that crush. Might keep him from destroying the rear end of this truck unlike his last two. lol

Well said, and I agree.

🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄 My toddler and I love watching your videos at bedtime! The music is perfect to get her to relax and she loves cows! 👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧 I stumbled on your videos on Facebook and I’m hooked. I majored in Agricultural Education in college and I’ve been teaching special Ed for 10 years now. You can take the teacher out of ag but can’t take ag out of the teacher. Thank for sharing your day 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Me too! I'm 4th year though

Hope you do well with your studies

Yes same!!! 🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮

I know right. It's so cheesy but it's amazing.

Yes!!

Nah he needs a new intro song

What is the song called?

Me, too!!🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

Sue - same! Even the geography part, as I'm in Ontario, too. :)

@@virginiahutchinson7974 cool!!! Such a small big world we live in!!!

Same here, :D

We're all the Ontario, Canada Chapter of the Hoof GP fan club! 😄😄😄

No brown 👃 ING 😁😅😴 j/k Great job

I actually watch his videos to fall asleep

I completely agree with this statement!

Cathartic is the word you are looking for.

I watch them nightly before I go to sleep as they relax me.

You'll be happy to know that last summer is the only summer we've had like that in the 24 years I've lived in Texas.

Depression of some kind is for many of us. I hope you find the light that will enable you to thrive. Watching others mend does lift the spirits. I agree with you on the calming note that helping these loving creatures walk without pain is rewarding. Best of luck and health to you.

Songbird, same here! Stay strong, there will always be a better day after darkness!!💋

As with many, I have also been there and know how it feels. I'm *not* going to tell you to "cheer up!" (Oh boy, the least helpful words there are, eh?) I got past it with Prozac initially, but due to a change in circumstances, we had to move to the countryside. I was off those tablets in a month. The change in pace of life, living in a bungalow on the edge of a farmer's field, and the natural peace and quiet gave my mind room to recover. I was brought up in a village and living in towns and cities which I'd done since leaving home to work at 19 was too much for me. "Going home" to the countryside, despite being 300 miles from my parents, was like throwing a switch in my head. Is there something like that which you could do? Have you always dreamed of being in a different type of place, or doing a different kind of job? It's not a guarantee of recovery, but it would definitely help. Meanwhile, all my best "e-support vibes" are heading your way, along with some virtual hugs, chocolate and your favourite beverage. Again, not a cure, but nobody has been harmed by someone actually giving a damn about them, and I genuinely do. 🤗

Try pit bulls and paroles, those also helped me after my mother’s death years ago. The people that do such kindness to animals heal many folks. God given gifts to others without even knowing it.

Hope you are doing well @Songbirds it is really satisfying to see some who so genuinely cares about the health and care of another creature.

Thanks I was gonna ask about it

me too, thought I was watching old video.

Love Craigie Boy’s channel!

Put that on some merch!

@@MxInProgress That's my first thought as well. Good ball cap, or maybe a cold drink thermos for hot weather? Along with tees etc😁

To be fair, until recent decades thats what most men were taught. Not anymore obviously.

@@jameshunt9208 I agree 101% with that sentiment but "Chill out" isn't an expression they would've been familiar with. I don't know where you hail from, but there are still lots of strong men around here who put in a day's hard work.

Lol

So I only need a year to graduate 🧐

Happened to me too when i visitet family that lives in a small town out..

The House of cows

Hahaha 🤣

It's very therapeutic...... I'm not a farmer or anything but I think cows are delicious 😋. Nice to know someone out there cares ghat much about their comfort. Hope YOU have a Super Duper day 💗 Cheers frim Canada 🇨🇦

I think graem could diagnose me before my human gp sometimes

@@looseleafteabutworse 😂😂😂

Welcome to the herd. Cow feets right??

Only the ones that subscribe to his YT channel.

All girls enjoy a great Mani-Pedi

@@AK-hw9ij BWAHAHAHAHA

I dunno, my dad's a vet and he is not well liked among even the pets at home. Then again, he does not have the bedside manner you see exhibited on this channel.

Does anyone get excited about going to the doctor's? 😅

Craigie Boy did a vidoe showing both crushes next to each other

@@amyjanegardner9908 yeah I saw that but think it’s always good to see it working in practice. Enjoy Craig’s channel too.

Same

Holy shit, a cow that can type! 🤯

Hear hear!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Amen! X

Wait that kinda sus

I think I got here via The Toe Bro too & now I'm addicted to hoof trimming!

his wife is also a bakery owner I believe. if not her it's his mom as and she works there

After seeing the work he does, he deserves everything he gets

Great points about professionalism that can apply to any business or enterprise, or effort even as an employee. I knew one young lady, a nurse, who was all the patients’ favorite - because she’d always go to work with a hairdo, and some makeup to sparkle the scrubs. It wasn’t even about being beautiful - she smwouldn’t have needed makeup for that. She was a light in spirit and wore it well without getting so gussied up. It just made her feel good and the extra effort she put in so consistently showed her bosses she was excited to be there and her patients that she treasured them enough to try and brighten their day, since the scrubs were fairly boring. She worked with the elderly, and had to be very physically strong 💪, so here comes this little stout gal with a big smile and her hair done different every day and it gave the patients something to talk about, or guess on. Good point to always arrive prepared, ready, and excited. That’s how I feel after cleaning my kitchen: I can’t wait to cook for my family again and I get all kinds of ideas for recipes - the maintenance clears the space for imagination and creative solutions to arise.

So is it official? Are they expanding the business to a second crush now?

@@LOVEMUFFIN_official they purchased the KVK because it gives them another option for farms that the Appleton doesn’t really work for! It’s definitely a possibility when Craig gets his license, that he could be driving one, and Graeme driving the other! But I think we would miss the 2 of them working together!!

@@amandapereira3635 hoof trimming in the UK is unregulated, he made a video about that a while back. There is no licensure.

Pretty sure the songs are just royalty free songs anyone can look up

He has a Spotify channel. Just search for it

Jerseys are not sweet. (Not A Farmer, But Have Done Carpentry On Dairy Farms And Jersey Bulls Are The Most Angry.) Edited to add: 🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂👿

Maybe the most clever ones? 🤔

Back in the day when there were hardly any local Jerseys , our milk recorder told me that the worst kicking cows she saw on her circuit were the Jerseys at a research farm.

Now is the time to explore different types of jobs. Work at every job you get as if it were your dream job. You’ll develop good work habits and ethics. And you never know when it might lead to more. Maybe travel some? Have fun exploring and finding out more about yourself. You have lots of time and these years can be so exciting. (Yes, a bit scary, too.) I wish you the best!

@@colleenobrien8212 thanks for the advice I’ll keep that in mind as I move forward. Have a good Holliday!

@@Glorpus , as I was approaching the end of my school years around age 18, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life other than travel! Oh, and I had always dreamed about going to somewhere in Africa to do some sort of volunteer work there. However, one thing I was so sure of at that age, was that I was done with school and studying! I had long warned my parents to not expect me to go to university! I was so over studying, assignments and exams! So, after I finished school, I enjoyed that summer with my friends, going on a fun holiday to Ibiza!! Then in the September I moved to the city, moved in with some friends I had met through my sister, who went to university there, and got a crappy job as I was pretty much willing to do anything to try and earn enough money to pay my rent, bills, with hopefully enough left over to have fun with my friends and support my new independent life away from my parents!! I worked a few different types of jobs for about a year and then luckily enough I found an organisation advertising for volunteer work in Mozambique, Africa!! So, I moved to Denmark, where this organisation was based, lived, studied, fundraised there for 6 months, then went to Mozambique and had the most amazing experience of my life for a further 6 months, then went back home to Ireland and worked a few jobs for another year before going travelling again to South Africa, Australia and New Zealand for about 5 months before settling in Australia for another year on a working holiday visa. That year in Australia finally helped me understand what it was that I should be doing with my life! There, I worked in a few hospitals as well as working at a camp for kids with disabilities. While I had an amazing time working at those jobs, the pay was pitiful and difficult to actually make ends meet, just paying rent and the usual bills. I certainly couldn’t afford a social life on what I was earning and I was working 3 jobs at the same time, usually 6-7 days a week! So, I decided that I was actually going to go to university! Something I swore I would never do! Lol It was so expensive to study overseas as an international student, so I moved back home to Ireland and worked for a year, while applying to universities. Oh, I nearly forgot! I had decided that I wanted to become a registered nurse! I ended up going to Edinburgh, Scotland to go to university to do my nursing. 3 years full time at university, none of those long university summer holidays for me unfortunately! Lol Only a couple of weeks off for summer instead of the approx 4 months that most uni students get! But it was worth it to do the course in 3 years instead of 4 years. Anyway, those 3 years were some of the best years of my life. Even though I was a few years older than most university students, I think I was about 24 years old when I started, but in nursing, there were people in my year at uni who were in their 50’s! So, it is never too late to do what you want to do. I have been a registered nurse now for just over 15 years! I’m glad I didn’t go to university when I was 18 or 19, because I don’t think I would have stuck it out. I had no interest in it at that time, plus, nursing wasn’t even on my radar at that age either. Also, from the age of 18-24, when I was “finding myself”!!! Those years were just amazing for me. I traveled to so many places and I made some amazing friends from all over the world. What I would give to be able to go back in time and do those years all over again! You are going to be working for the rest of your life, so enjoy yourself now, while you are young and especially while you have nothing tying you down, that is if you have nothing tying you down to one place!! Either way, you have time to figure out what you really want to do. Find new jobs in different areas of work. Try as many different types of jobs that you can, in order to find out what you really enjoy and what you might want to do for the rest of your life! When I was your age, I often had 3 different jobs at the same time. But, of course they were all part time. During the year that I was at home applying for university, I worked during the day, weekends and a couple of weekdays at a shop that sold absolutely everything under the sun except food! Then the other weekdays that I wasn’t in the shop, I worked at a day centre for adults with learning disabilities, which was such a fun job! Then at the weekends, I was either working at the shop or I also worked at the residential home for adults with learning disabilities. During that time, I was working so many hours each week, but it never really felt like it, honestly! Because I was working at 3 different jobs, each very different from the others, so it didn’t feel like I was working all the time. Also, the 2 different jobs working with adults with learning disabilities, quite often they did not really feel like work either, because at the day centre, we would take the clients out on day trips regularly, either going to the swimming pool, or we would go to a cafe for tea/coffee and a snack or we would go out for ice cream, or a day trip to the coast during the summer, and so on!! At the residential home, we would take them shopping, or go out for dinner and at the weekends we would always have at least one evening at a quiet pub for a couple of hours. So, you see, when you work a job like that, it doesn’t always feel like work! However, important to know that those jobs aren’t all fun and games as well! Depending on the individual that you might be working along side and what their needs are. Some people are physically very capable and able to do most things or everything for themselves. Then there are other people who need a lot of help with every area in their lives. From dressing, going to the toilet, washing, eating, some people can’t do anything for themselves and that is what we are there for. Sorry, just felt that I should be clear about what that job can involve, as it’s not all just fun days out! Anyway, I am so sorry that I have written a book!! But once I started, I guess I got caught up in nostalgia!! I really hope you find something that you love. I’m sure you will, but just don’t feel pressured, you are still young enough that you have loads of time to experiment with different jobs and I would highly advise you to do that. Good luck!

I agree. You might also like Sandi Brock and Sheepishly Yours. I’m a city girl but I’m totally enthralled by learning new things and I’m in awe how hard farmers and the like work. It’s always a pleasure to see people who love their work.

lol i thought i was the only smartass.... you beat me to it lol

@@averagemyke2843 I try 😏😁

My money is on the young blond fella who was learning to be a hoof trimmer. He was in two videos I think?

What about craig?
