The Hoof GP: The Scottish cow hoof trimmer watched by millions

Graeme also uses his work to promote the south-west of Scotland.

“I describe where we live as an island,” he said.

“Clearly it’s not an island, but the Machars of Wigtownshire are surrounded on three sides by water and to the north there’s a bank of hills which kind of separates you from everybody.

“So we’ve got that kind of island community feel about it with none of the drawbacks, we don’t need to get a boat to go anywhere.”

At the heart of it all, is the day job.

“It is multi-faceted how good hoof trimming can impact a cow’s life and a farmer’s life,” he said.

“At the end of the day, I care about these animals. I really care about their health.

“I want them to be comfortable.”

That also helps with the bottom line.

“But, forgetting all of that, this is an industry that we’re working in – it’s a commercial industry and these cows are there to make money,” he added.

“The healthier those cows are, the better they are at making money.

“It’s good for the cow, it’s good for us, it’s good for the end consumer.

“It’s just better for everybody if cows’ feet are as comfortable as possible.”
