When I was 5, my parents divorced, and during that 6-month battle I was sent to live with my grandparents, on Gramps' commercial dairy. I'm now 70, and can still remember our hoof guy. He was so much like you; gentle, thorough, expert, and he genuinely cared for our cows and the health of their feet. This is why I enjoy your videos so much.
I love your name
What a wholesome story! 🥰
Best comment ever!!!
So wholesome and heart warming 🥺 thank you for sharing
What in olden days also people divorced which country r u from
I’ve been a veterinarian for 27 years (dogs and cats, mostly), but I’ve been completely disabled for two years due to rheumatoid arthritis. I can’t explain how much I miss working. I just found this channel a few days ago, and it’s helping me so much. I’m living vicariously through your care for the animals and you improving their comfort and quality of life so tremendously and expertly, so thank you! 🙏
Also, I commend your use of chlorhexidine when it’s indicated. :)
Edit: even though I primarily cared for dogs and cats, we had large animal and equine rotations in vet school, and I’d always hang out in the teaching hospital’s barn when I needed to de-stress my senior year. There was something about the smells, the gentle animals and even the more laid-back clinicians and clients that gave me a sense of peace. There’s nothing like taking a Holstein (clinic-owned pet steer!) or a llama for a walk to make things right in the world.
There's so much veterinarian and animal care videos on TH-cam you won't run out no matter how much of the day you use here.
Nate the Hoof Guy is really engaged with his audience, so he's got an excellent channel to follow along vicariously.
Best wishes forwards, take care and stay safe!
Get well soon, Brenda
God bless you
Good morning from Indonesia
@@kholdanstaalstorm6881 Thank you, so much! This has certainly made me want to find more similar and veterinary channels :)
@@johanessaragih1044 thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. :)
You've definitely picked the best hoof trimming channel on TH-cam! Nate is wonderfully gentle and kind 🐄
I really like this channel vs. the other hoof channels. This guy is not looking to be in the camera every time he says something. The best one hands down.
I'm so glad asking dogs or other domesticated animals obvious questions is a universal human constant
Hey! I thought of you this past week. I cut my wrist working at Tractor Supply and ended up at the ER waiting for stitches. They cleaned up the laceration using a product with Clorehexidine. I laughed and said "I know what that is!". No infection and the stitches come out Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for educating me! Never know when it will come in handy.
Love the doggy at the beginning. He must know your truck and knows there are treats to be had!
He even chases him as he leaves, it's adorable
Dogs do that all the time lol
I believe that’s his dog!
I guarantee that dog is eating those hoof trimmings dog seem to love nasty stuff. I swear the worse it smells the quicker they can't wait to cobble it up. So I'm sure that dog is stoked to my boy Nate The Hoof Guy
@@magenlin i’ve come to realize dogs just love anything that has a strong smell. Whether that’s cheese, garbage, underwear, or food. If it’s got a strong smell, they NEED it.
It's always fun to see a farm dog chowing down on hooves. Horse hooves especially. I'm sure every one knows when a farrier or trimmer is is around so they can get that special treat!
Mine so much as touches hoof trimmings he gets in big trouble. 7 days of vomiting, diarrhea, and in general sick puppy behavior and the morning of his vet visit he finally pukes up a massive chunk of frog. Still took him in and had him checked over. Took a big chunk out of my wallet. Now he would have gone in sooner but he was the sensitive stomach type so daily vomiting and a bit of runs was somewhat normal for him. Vet was of the watch and wait variety, but bring him in if it gets worse. He thankfully grew out of most of it but I won’t take chances so hoof treats are forbidden.
Though I can still hear him complain when the vet techs stretched him out and held him down for his X-ray. You would have thought they were killing him. Funny but don’t need a repeat.
@@jaykneegarner2479
I wonder if they can get some sort of sick from digital dermatitis, or pass it to someone else who passes it to someone else who gives it to a cow on another farm?
@@jaykneegarner2479 yikes! Yup some puppies need to stay away from hoof trimmings! And other stuff too
I watch a lady that has an indoor sheep farm in Canada and she also has a couple of dogs that like to hang around when she trims their hoves.
I have never met a dog who would turn down some horse hoof trimmings. Some would run in so fast and snatch them (we would try to discourage it until the trim was over, we didn't want any accidents to happen) but I would always make sure to sweep them up into a neat pile for the more she pups. Everyone got their fair share. The horses and dogs would always know the farriers truck the second she drove in the driveway.
I've watched other hoof channels and it's amazing to me how tender and delicate you are with the cow's it's very nice to know that you truly care for these animals 💖 I really appreciate it thank you for sharing with us
I really appreciate the close up shots. It helps me understand what's going on so much better.
@NatetheHoofGuy your earlier videos were closer, like at 1:21 in this video. You even go back and forth. Can you just keep it close?
Nate, thank you for not only explaining the hoof work but including us on other things, as the dog, view. When the heel bulb had an injury, I could repeat the series...a lower injury had moved up and out but to see a "tiny" injury site and how much of the sole had to be peeled off... wow. The miracle part is it is/will regrow a correctly attached sole. Nice work all around.
It really does seem miraculous that they can completely regrow claws that need so much pared away, and so quickly, too!
the most knowledgeable Hoof Trimmer in TH-cam. really enjoy the zoom into the hoof.
I love the color of that cows hooves, definitely a lot different then most on your channel. Beautiful cow as well, nice work Nate!
Indeed. He does most of his work on Holsteins (the black & white spotted ones), which are very common due to the volume of milk they produce. Other breeds, such as Brown Swiss, don’t produce as much volume but their milk is higher in butterfat content.
@@richardsmalls7721 Oh wow, never knew that, thanks for the insight!
How now, brown cow!😁😇
@@k.c1126 nice lol
It's funny to me that the moment you mentioned, crack in the heel bulb, organic, pasture cow, dark horn color, I knew exactly what to expect and what needed to be done. Nate! You're too good!
Your zoom ins are the best! Beautiful cows and gorgeous Border Collie! I remember the video when you surprised your kiddos with that sweet pup.
Sunday morning here in Oz, sipping my cut of tea watching Nate clear away loose horn. Perfect start to my day 😋☕ thank you for posting Nate
Hello how are you doing?
I think this has been asked before; do the cows ever seem to recognize you? Or do they see you too infrequently to remember.
Great video, as always ☺️🐄🐄🐄🐄
*I'm not sure what amazes me the most. The fact this popped in my recommendations for no appearent reason or the fact I watched it till the end. Fascinating*
I've watched some other channels by now, and i must say Nate is the cream of the crop (dairy pun intended). He's extra careful in his work and knowledgeable.
I love it when you zoom in the area you want us to see. It shows in depth clarity and give a better understanding...Thanks Nate👍👍
I always love seeing these big, beautiful cows leaving the harness feeling a lot better after your careful treatment. Love these videos, Nate!
Is there ever a concern with the farm dogs eating the hoof shavings (like if there is an infection or dermatitis going on)? My own dogs LOVE cow hooves so I love that the farm dogs like Levi get to enjoy the shavings while you work. 😊
Levi is adorable. Loved that little jog she had when she was done.. Thanks for another great one buddy ❤
Love your narration Nate !
For those of us like me who don’t know much about dairy cows, your videos are really informative!
Watching from Ontario Canada and I love the work you do caring for the cows! Its very rewarding to watch and see how much you help them. I hate to see any animal suffer 👍🏻❤🇨🇦❤
as a kid who grew up on a farm, I always enjoyed the ferrier visit. because it wasnt something i saw everyday. its a very skilled craft. much like yours. love the content
Your videos are so calming to my anxiety! I hope for a new one E V E R Y D A Y! I am 100% sure... I've watched ALL of them on this account. Sometimes I go back and watch them again... If this is a dopamine problem/ addiction... I don't want to go to rehab! Lol!
An addiction/problem comes from when your actions are beyond your control and you your actions aren't in your best interests anymore.
I'm so happy you find such joy and peace in these videos, I love them too. I hope you find things that you can do to better yourself that can bring joy in your life too.
I relate to this so much!
I absolutely love watching your videos. Love the colours on this girls hooves. Your so precise with the grinder and knife and thats fascinating, years upon years of practice. She had so much debri where the soul separation was which must of been so uncomfortable and painful. Now she's gonna be one very happy on the mend cow who's much more comfortable thanks to you and your incredible skills. she walked as if everything was better.
It’s such a pleasure to watch someone doing something so expertly - truly impressive.
Awe sweet Bessie Swiss Moo had a big pedi today! That was a lot of horn to take down. Hope she is feeling tiptop soon. The woofer really enjoyed the piece of hoof to chew on, he thought you were going to take it so he snatched it right up, MINE-ZES HOOMAN, scuttle scuttle away to enjoy!
I love the extra content you have been having later, with different stuff from the farms (in this case the dog)
The farm doggos are all the cutest
I can't help but notice how this cow seemed a lot more chill than usual. When we got a view of her face, she didn't have any saliva worked up like other cows tend to have. I wonder if that is a breed thing or if she just has a more calm disposition? Would like to know why.
Good observations!👍🏻🐄
I've been around cows most of my life and Brown Swiss and Jersey tend to be less nervous in general than Holsteins. There are exceptions as individuals. It's similar with dogs as some breeds tend to be more chill than others. It's not a bad thing and is pretty minimal. They're all good animals.
Seeing the dog it made me wonder about your dog at home! We saw him as a pup and would love to see an update!
Excellent trim as always Nate!
I can somehow feel the satisfaction when peeling off those bigger chunks and finding where the horn still is attached, even though I've never put a knife or grinder on a hoof.
The use of what I assume is a plastic block on an organic farm made me question it, but that can be part of different country, different rules perhaps?
It could also be self-imposed rules for organic farming some use in my country.
I know there's blocks made of biodegradable materials, but then the materials used probably have to be organic also.
Great video as always Nate, you always manages to add in some farm life tidbits in these videos and that's always appreciated!
Take care and stay safe!
There's compostable and biodegradable plastic blocks too. Not sure about the glue tho
That farm dog really likes you Nate. He knows you will have a few bits for him during trimming. Its amazing how the hoof horn starts to work on healing itself.
Nate, thank you for taking such good care of the cows in each program. You are so good at recognizing where they hurt and what needs to be done.
I have watched your channel for quite some time and this one caught me by surprise! When you started grinding on the claw, I'm thinking there's nothing irregular here. Must be something else. You then explained what was needed to have it heal. My education continues! Have awesome days, Nate!
The dog is so cute! Ahhhh, my favorite, a separated sole. Fascinating as always, Nate.
Channels like this (any how to channel) gives kids a broader choice in the job market nowadays. When I was growing up I never would have thought about hoof trimming or being a farrier even though I love riding horses. I think I would have enjoyed a job on a farm.
So thank you for your videos.
Great video
What a beautiful little cow!!!
Thank you!!!!!
Liking the close ups!
👍🏻🙏
I would love to see an update on this one 😀 She is so pretty!
Very nice job and that was a lovely little cow - I liked her soft brown-grey colouring 😊
Thank you! Love seeing the farm dogs! You truly made my day! Thank you thank you thank you!
Good videography. I could anticipate what needed to be done as you did it.
She is beautiful and walking so well. Nice job Nate ❤
Thank you for showing all these videos. Your videos are a great chance to learn that giving antibiotics and other things to animals can be very important. You give the reality, of what farming is about, to people who have no way to go to a farm.
Good lord I love this channel and how gentle and thorough you are with your treatments. No matter how many videos I watch I just can’t stop being in awe of how informative, and gentle you are.
She has such a sweet face and kind eye. Beautiful cow.
i swear if i want to change my career i will become Nate's apprentice :D to keep these hooves healthy and beautiful ^^
That was grand, I could feel her relief as she happily strutted away.
I showed this to my pedicurist hoping she can learn a thing or two from Nate.🥰
Girl are you a cow???
@@botchedresurrectiongf1743 - Moo?🤔
Why am i up at 2 in the morning watching a dude trim a cow's hoof? I have no idea but it's terribly fascinating.
I found him about a month ago in my feed and now I'm hooked lol who knew this was something my weird mind found fascinating 😂
I love when you zoom in the cows hoof to show how detailed it really is. Thanks for the cool content
Thanks for helping the cow and showing the cute farm doggie
Love watching these. Even my grand daughter (7 yrs old) loves to watch. Such a nice doggo.
Brown Swiss are gorgeous cows.... and that's where all cows belong.... on green pastures... love to see your care and attention to all these animals.
Odd thing to notice but the Brown Swiss don't seem to slobber like the Jerseys and Herefords do. I like the Brown Swiss, they look more dignified and some of them even look cute. I almost expect chocolate milk.😁 Nice job Nate, she's happier.
Aww, a beautiful border collie to start off your video, I’m so glad you could make her more comfortable Nate, love your videos, and how you explain what you’re doing, great job Nate, take care, and thank you for posting, such a pretty little cow.👍💙
She's beautiful. Love the dog.
Been watching this channel for a couple years. After a long day of work what a relaxing and satisfying watch this channel is.
Yet another outstanding video. Your explanations are so interesting and helpful. It truly is like watching a skilled surgeon at work.
I love your explanations ! I always get very excited when you post a new vid ! Thanks for these.
I love it when you can get the knife right under a huge chuck of loose horn and remove it in one complete swipe. To you, I bet it feels as satisfying to do as it is to watch.
I want to go back to @1:48 in this video. I am fully understanding and following 'white-line-lesions', what I'm not understanding is how you know that the small circular mark at the top of the lateral claw is not a problem. As you are preparing the lateral for a block, @6:57, I can now see that little circular mark was grinded out - gone, disappeared. But as a professional, how do you know that it isn't a problem before hand? And as you continue to prepare the lateral, why is it not important to search the inner center area of the lateral to know that you are not gluing into a problem where as the hardened glue would create pain if that bit of hoof had an underlying problem? I guess I'm asking how you know that area of the inner lateral is not a problem.
I want to add that you have such a "gentle hand"! Meaning that in your precision, you are still steady and 'gentle'. To me?, that's the makings of an excellent surgeon!
Sometimes I'm just amazed at how a small, tiny crack in the hoof can lead to such terrible consequences!
Well done. Happy cow! 🐄 love the brownies! 😃🥰😎👍
We picked up a young dog who had a taste for eating hoofs, etc. We obtained it from a mink farm. In the winter, a prized cow of ours calved and had a rare red and white heifer. The dog, at night, snuck in by that newborn calf and bit it's tail off. I don't remember us having that dog after that happened.
I bet these cows are glad you're there to take care of em
I just found your channel and had to sub!
I've watched a few videos of horse hooves being worked on but this is the first time I've seen a hoof like the one your working on.
I'm really glad there are people like you who help ungulates feet feel better.
Edit: She's so cute!
That dog is absolutely beautiful 😍!!!
A very good Sunday morning to you in the USA from Wellington Somerset in the UK
My grandma has border collies and does competitions for shepherding. Loved to see your friend!
Why do I watch your videos? I don't have a cow, not going to get a cow but I still watch. I love your voice and explanations. Best of all you find a painful problem and fix it in a short video. Keep up the good work!
The closeups are amazing.
Clean job well done , minimal blood too & a big slice of horn YESSSS
Another great job, and relieved cow.
"A student of the game"! Something to aspire to!!!
I love how she downshifted on the way out.
You know it’s gonna be a good video when it starts with such a heccin’ good woofer.
Question: Have you thought about using a water hose or some type of a pressured stream to wash away the farm debris that is on the hoof before you start to work? I know you can't apply any treatments until you expose the wound, but all the mud, grass, straw and debris can't be simply washed away?
It doesn't really matter, and anything like that would be unnecessary extra setup and cost. If you have something on your hand do you wash them before doing the dishes?
He mentioned and demonstrated why he doesnt do that in a past video. It's extr work and it makes the cow less calm and i know i wouldn't want to be wet in winte.
@@angelamay734 exactly, it would make the area around the crush muddy or icy even putting down sawdust like he does
I love the close up shots. Great camera!!
You’re the best hoofer guy in TH-cam. You not only educate us in the process and give us a better understanding of what’s happening, but you are also very methodical in your approach to the problem and very gentle to the cow as well. The others hoofer guys I’ve seen are all bravado and for show only!
I always like your guest stars be they dogs or barn cats.
What a gorgeous cow!
I don't eat meat, but I like these videos because Nate seems to really care about the cows even though they are being raise for death or other. He is helping these cows feel more comfortable before.
Wow I love watching you and I’ve never seen that color cow interesting, thank you for making these videos.
Good job bud. Sometimes you. Right man right place. Congrats.
Another satisfied customer courtesy of Nate the Great 👍🏻
She’s a beautiful cow 🐮
This is a good one. I love the Swisses because the grey color of their horn reminds me of rubber.
Keep up the great Vids Nate this one looked pretty tough!
Thanks Nate.
Such a tiny crack! Such an enormous lesion! Such a good job!
sometimes i do not like the internet, but for this i love it,learning, good job man🥰x
I'm always amazed with how much horn you are able to remove. This was nice to watch!
Very nice job on the cow sir. As always.
I knew it was a white line defect when you showed us the heel issue. I’m finally getting an idea of what you’re talking about. 😂😂😂 Although I still don’t know why TH-cam recommended hoof trimming videos or road drainage ones for that matter but I’m now enjoying them. Who knew?? 🤣🤣
What a pretty little brown cow!
I swear this cow had a small skip of joy after her first couple of test-steps. Nothing better than a happy cow
I LOVE that you show close ups
Lovely collie dog, my favourite breed
It would be nice to live in the country and be a vet. What a good life that would be.
