Nate, would you consider doing a little video explaining the machine that helps stabilize the cows while you work on their hooves? I'm fascinated with it! ❤
It’s basically straps that hold the cow up in air so he can lift one foot without putting weight on the others! It would be cool if he made an in depth video though!
@user-xf1dm2te8v Its called a "cow crush" or "cattle chute". So, the cow walks in, the front gate closes with the cows head out of a gap. Straps go under the abdomen and chest, so that if feet need to be picked up, the cow can be supported comfortably on 3 legs. Theres also the device that picks the legs in a hoof trimming crush like Nate has. The device to do this ranges from just a simple blunt hook and rope arrangement you hook around the leg and turn a crank to lift the hoof to the fancy thing Nate has that grips the leg and lifts it all in one motion. This is so the foot can be held steady. Horses are trained from a young age to stand still and lift their feet for hoof cleaning and the farrier, but Im not sure if you could even get cattle to do that (I dont know if they are physically capable of it) This way, the head, rear end and feet are easily accessible for examination and treatment the cow/bull can be supported, and s/he cant thrash about and potentially injure the human or themselves if they become alarmed or something is painful.
Just imagining sapient aliens with hooves like cows, “have you heard of Nate? I only trust him with my hooves, no one else is as gentle and patient. I’ll give you his number so you can book a session with him!”
Nate, after watching your videos I can NOT stand to watch other hoof trimmers with their horrible knife work!🫣 You are the best imo….Careful, diligent and a great teacher to boot! Great job as usual Sir…..God Bless you and all the bovines you treat.🙏🏼🐮👋🏼🇨🇦
@@humanwreckage4563 The Chinese do this with a very sharp shovel like tool…..It looks like something from the Middle Ages! They make these animals bleed and tie them up to a pole very tight by a ring through one of their. nostrils! They treat the animals with no respect or dignity! Pure animal cruelty and they really don’t care. Just horrible and immensely sad.😢😭 Blessings send form Canada🙏🏼🍀👋🏼🇨🇦
Nate I love your videos. Direct, concise, and no banter. Your videos are absolutely the best because of your professionalism and detail to video recording.
I don't like it when a cow has problems on two feet, but I love it when a cow goes strolling out of the crush with two matching neon wraps. It's a scene out of a 1980s movie where everyone is wearing leotards and leggings: Flashstance.
In one of Nate's videos at the very end, the close up of the cow stepping on the ground and staying still she looked like she was modeling a colorful high heeled shoe 😂
Iirc he has a LinkedIn profile if you'd like to see his face, and afaik occasionally he'd post update on his private life, where you can see him and his family.
I grew up in the country, not on a farm, but hearing the cows plus the way you work is so relaxing. A funny note is my dentist gave me a Chlorhexidine rinse after some oral surgery to help heal. I thought of your videos when he said that.
I started watching hoof trimming about 3 months ago and the rest is history Nate and Grim Parker(hoof GP) are my go to guys by far all the others are gd but Nate and Grim styles of hoof trimming is the best in my book 👏👏👏👏
@@Petey0707 "oh no, a TH-camr is doing something THEY like and not what my entitled ass likes, I'm gonna pout and trash them on another trimmers video"
one thing that pissed me off some people are making money off of you by using your shorts videos you do the work and they make the money that makes me sick
@@cyndiparra7084 Generally no. The hoof is like a giant fingernail (and is made out of the same stuff), so it's akin to clipping your nails. Sometimes the conditions they have like sole ulcers and digital dermatitis are painful, and the trim is uncomfortable, but the trim will help to expose those areas and help them to stay clean and heal up so they can continue producing new hoof horn. It's like clipping an ingrown nail. Painful, but sometimes necessary for the long-term health of your foot.
Been subed to your channel for about 6 months.....i dont know why but this is so satisfying to watch you help out these farmers with their cows ......nice work Nate !
One day you showed up on my feed, a few years back, no idea why I've subbed that day I don't always watch, but whenever I see your videos in my feed, I start watching a handful of them. Thank you for what you're doing for these babies, keep it up :)
Hi Nate, curiosity question. Do you bring your sharpening stuff with you and sharpen as needed, or bring enough extra knives that it won't be a problem and sharpen later?
I would love to see you and the Hoof GP get together to collaborate on trims. The difference between typical trims in the US v. the UK is so fascinating to me!
I watch to goof gp and I gotta say one thing I like about your work you clean the cows foot of all the shit and gunk instead of leaving it .....very clean . I like that . 👌🏻
Ok, absolute city guy here from Toronto. No idea how these hoof trimming vids got into my feed, but here we are. Anyway, what is the texture of the white coloured hoof material that you carve off? Is it soft? Plastic like? Also, why didn't you scoop out whatever was in that roundish hole in the middle of the cow's hoof? Wasn't that just a ball of infection, so to speak?
The thing in the middle of the hoof seems to be an infected but live tissue - lopping that off would be really painful and pretty pointless as the wrap will kill the infection and allow it to get back to its normal healthy state. And as far as I know, cow hooves are made out of keratin just like our nails and the shavings would be pretty similar in texture.
My question is after youve trimmed the area down to where the problem is and you spray the Chlorhexadine (sp?). Can the cow feel the spray ? Does it give relief? I know the Salisilic powder does, but i was wondering about the spray.
What’d be neat is a before and after transition of the hoof before any work and after the trimming(but before wrapping) with the hoof in the exact same position and angle so we can just how much has changed over the period of trimming.
❤NATE❤ 🐄 , I notice that you don’t dry off the claw that you plan to apply a block to, with a blow torch , although you do essentially score the claw before you attach the block. Does this depend upon how long you want the block to stay on and What kind of glue you are using? How long does the block generally stay on and is the block a more slippery surface for the cow to walk upon? Especially on a cement floor covered with slurry? It’s dangerous for the poor cow who slips and slides and ends up doing the splits…they’re really not physically built for gymnastics..and can seriously injure themselves..People see the back ankle shackles as cruel, but they really do prevent more serious injuries and may even offer some comfort and stability to the cow…and they can be removed when she’s outside..so she can kick up her heels in the pasture.. Keep up the good work Nate! ❤🇨🇦🙏🏻
Nate, just a question but after shaving all those hooves and trimming them, why do you not wash them with water? Isn't it more better to try and at least wash them after trimming them or wash them before trimming them?
As someone who has used the grinder extensively I wonder How often do you get smacked w a rogue rock or whatever? I know you can control where stuff flies but things can bounce lol
nate, i was wondering, can cows get tetanus? i'm studying livestock entomology and pathology at the moment and got curious whether the dirt and soil pastured cows roam on can contain tetanus, and if so, can it get into their bloodstream via a lesion in the hoof?
Nate, would you consider doing a little video explaining the machine that helps stabilize the cows while you work on their hooves? I'm fascinated with it! ❤

Why don't horse farriers use one like it?

That is an amazing thought
me: "that's gonna need a block"
nate: "we're gonna have to apply a block"
the cow: "moo"
Everybody’s in agreement. Blockage.
Just imagining sapient aliens with hooves like cows, “have you heard of Nate? I only trust him with my hooves, no one else is as gentle and patient. I’ll give you his number so you can book a session with him!”
I sometimes imagine the cows having a little girl talk about Nate coming around today and how much they are looking forward to their mani/pedi.
@@KayoEllRight!👏🏼😜😂
Cow gets beamed up by aliens and notices one limping a bit and is like "I know a guy "
Flashback to Animorphs with the andalites lol
❤❤
Man that center bit just gives me the shivers for looking like the hangnail from hell.
Looks like something the “corn / wart removal” or “pimple popper” channels would dig out!

Saw a TH-cam short of a guy basically using a square shovel to slice a donkeys hoof down, idk if that's correct but not in my house
The Hoof GP in Scotland is the only other trimmer I like to watch, again for the same kind of care and attention as Nate.

@humanwreckage4563 horse, donkeys have different hooves than cattle. Equine vs bovine.
@@humanwreckage4563that is actually the correct way to do that

I love your gentle way with the animals. A lot of other hoof trimmers are not gentle(hoof gp excluded). Thank you for kindness❤️ 🐮
The amount of care and attention you pay, the time you take, is always impressive and admirable to me.
She’s walking pretty good after your attention, you are the best, professional and compassionate. ❤
Of all the hoof trimming channels i watch, Nate is the only one whose face i have never seen. But i would recognise his voice anywhere!🐄
Iirc he has a LinkedIn profile if you'd like to see his face, and afaik occasionally he'd post update on his private life, where you can see him and his family.
You are sooo gentle & kind to these girls. Thank you❤❤❤
I've watched other hoof trimmers but this guy is the best.❤
Always interesting to see how elevated the block makes the hoof. 💚💚
I grew up in the country, not on a farm, but hearing the cows plus the way you work is so relaxing. A funny note is my dentist gave me a Chlorhexidine rinse after some oral surgery to help heal. I thought of your videos when he said that.
I recently found a facial wash with salicylic acid. I got it of course, and my skin hasn't felt this healthy in decades!
A much bigger, deeper area than I was expecting. Glad it wasn't infected.
I started watching hoof trimming about 3 months ago and the rest is history Nate and Grim Parker(hoof GP) are my go to guys by far all the others are gd but Nate and Grim styles of hoof trimming is the best in my book 👏👏👏👏
Interesting description of the different grinder wheels. Thanks. I agree with the comment about learning more about the crush. Fascinating machine.
I really appreciate your calm delivery and good production values.
Why do I watch these? I don’t own livestock or have hooves.
Nor I but I watch daily
....So you're NOT a brony?
Because something inside your brain j7st wants to know stuff!
Lol same
It's relaxing 😌
I really enjoyed this trim. It’s neat to see the stones and rocks that get embedded in the hoof. You are the best! ❤❤
Love these vids Nate keep it up, I been watching for a good 2 years and love every video!
Love watching you help cows hoofs feel better you are so gentle and kind
Awesome analysis and repair, Nate !
Thanks for taking care of this girl !
Thank you for not putting terrible music on your videos!
I can tell someone's salty a TH-camr won't accommodate just them.
Nah the other hoof guy is a tryhard with his corny music

one thing that pissed me off some people are making money off of you by using your shorts videos you do the work and they make the money that makes me sick
Yeah, at this point anyone who doesn't show their face (or even those who do) should have some sort of watermark on screen at all times
I also seen that..I was really upset as well...they had more views and likes compared to nate
I'm sure you've answered this question, but I'm new to these videos.... is the cleaning process painful to the animal??

Please do a vid on sharpening your knives, I find myself waving at "hoof trimming rigs " on the road now haha ,much appreciation for the work you do
He did a vid before on it. I want to say about a year ago?
Your knife work is the best I've seen in any trimming video.
Thank you for doing this for her, Nate!❤
Thanks for the weekend video Nate. Hope you are not being affected by all the recent storms.
One day you showed up on my feed, a few years back, no idea why
I've subbed that day
I don't always watch, but whenever I see your videos in my feed, I start watching a handful of them. Thank you for what you're doing for these babies, keep it up :)
Nate you did an amazing job cleaning this girls claws up and making her much better! Good job 👍
Nate when you made that first sweeping cut, I said wow at all that hidden debris. Thank you for the video
Hi Nate, curiosity question. Do you bring your sharpening stuff with you and sharpen as needed, or bring enough extra knives that it won't be a problem and sharpen later?
Great video Nate.
Oph!! That poor girl must have hurt!! Thank you for helping her feel so much better!
I love to see the tip of the hooves being nicely shaped & trimmed with that grinder; like proper pawdicure😄😊
Always educational, informative and interesting, Nate.
I would love to see you and the Hoof GP get together to collaborate on trims. The difference between typical trims in the US v. the UK is so fascinating to me!
Another interesting and informative video. Thanks Nate! 🙋🇨🇦🙋
Aww poor girl... glad you fixed her up Nate! 😁
After a first few hesitant steps, the lady strolls away with confidence. 😍
Love your content !
I love your videos and thank you for letting me watch one I dont have to pay for because I'm not a "member"
I find these videos so interesting and relaxing at the same time great channel 👍🏻
I love your videos! Very educational and informative! ❤😊

I had my TH-cam on autoplay watching Hoof GP, that's how I discovered Nate the Hoof Guy
Thanks for helping her. 🥺
Matching “shoes” 🧡
Thanks for clearing up the directionality of the pads, I'd been wondering for a while why they weren't reversible
You are my favourite hoof guy 😊

I would expect the problem to be rocks. I can tell because that's what you said in the title.
Nate, you are the best!
I really wish I knew which ones I have already seen - so, so, so many I have seen and I have a feeling I have watched several 2 or 3 times.

Man your hands are so skilled!
Nate youre awesome 🔥
I hate getting rocks in my shoe. Imagine getting rocks in your foot!
You did a neat job there nate❤
Caught this on its first day!
Love your videos ❤
Y’all must go through a ton of that vet wrap (the orange self adhesive wrap you used) given how massive the hooves are 😅
Always wonder if it feels good to the cow...like some relief I would imagine. 🤔. Anyhoo.... love ❤️ the Vids!
That was crazy, it looked innocent enough but my oh my it was way bigger once cut away.
Because you care about cows with painful feet? That’s empathy and the healthiest of emotions. I’m a therapist.
You must be psychic Nate. I was just thinking 'how does he know how much to cut away' when you explained it. It was so weird.
As someone who has used the grinder extensively I wonder
How often do you get smacked w a rogue rock or whatever? I know you can control where stuff flies but things can bounce lol
Very interested in seeing how you sharpen your blades.
I know sore feet, and you help the cows!
Hey Nate! Next time you're trimming bulls, could you show the trim? Even if routine?
Good job!!
Say, Nate, how long does it take to stop seeing white line issues and separated horn issues all over the roads I travel on here in MO?
So none of the cows have ever rolled an ankle while walking on just the one elevated claw with the glued block?
She was ginger with the first few steps, then realized that the pain was less severe as before.
Poor cow had an entire rock quarry in there!
un travail de précision cela ressemble à un horloger Suisse.
nate, i was wondering, can cows get tetanus? i'm studying livestock entomology and pathology at the moment and got curious whether the dirt and soil pastured cows roam on can contain tetanus, and if so, can it get into their bloodstream via a lesion in the hoof?
maybe in 15 years when i retire from my current job i could see doing this.
It would be really nice to have a playlist of kust all your videos so i don't need to press on the next one all the time
Pretty sure I knew what it would be since the title told us. lol
