A pressure washer would drive the stones in further damaging the corium even more. A high pressure washer would cut the hoof, destroy the tissue, and force water into blood stream. The opposite of the gentle, do the absolute minimum harm technique Nate uses.
That was my thoughts also when he said people recommend that.. I don't think those people have ever used a pressure washer if they think its a good idea use it on a living animal.
@@swtorjunkie6171 You know inherently someone chooses what pressure it's at, surely you'd get one set between "moves stone from flesh" and "eviscerates flesh"?
@@jorymayer707 another person that hasn't used a pressure washer before 🤣 they're never meant to be used on flesh. 99% of them don't have a pressure adjustment.. They're either on or off. Go to a car wash, get the pressure washer and blast yourself with it and tell us how it goes.
I was wondering the same thing about myself. I actually lose sleep I get so caught up in these vids. It also amazes me that there are so many intriguing jobs out there that I would never have thought of. This one is fantastic.
Here's a man who knows his work!!! I'll never watch any other hoof trimming videos because other guys look like they're pretty rough & work fast & furious! If I owned cows I'd only let Nat fix em up!!! 👍🏻🤗👏🏻
Ended up here because my 8 yr old asked me about animal hooves and how they worked etc. I'm so fascinated, this is becoming a whole unit for science. Your videos are amazing!
yo nate, we gotta tell ya something. we've seen other hoof trimming youtube channels and you really are the most gentle with the girls and we really appreciate and love your work. keep it up, man.
@chatman4998 just because you find the music annoying doesn't take away from the fact that hoofgp is good at his job. His style is just different, and that's okay.
I feel so sorry for these cows. Must really suck having all that pain and not understanding what's happening until it's over. Makes me tear up something fierce
@@celestecornish6943 yes you can tell if a cow is in pain. you work around cows enough you get to know how cows work. depends if the guy watching cares or not
You make slicing through that hoof look like soft butter. I tried trimming my horses’ hooves myself once and it took me two days to finish one horse. I leave it to the pros now!
"Why don't you use a pressure washer?" Yeah. A pressure washer. The thing that blasts paint off houses with sheer force of water. Against organic material like a cow's hoof. That will end well...
As kids on the countryside we were dumb enough to cut through boots with it not thinking what would happen to the feet still in the boot.. 7stitch scar and loads of blood 🤕
There are hoof pressure washers that are mostly used for horses. They aren't as powerful as normal pressure washers and they probably wouldn't be as useful on cloven hooves anyway since they could cause irritation between the toes. Farriers do sometimes use them though when they want to clearly see what they are working with before trimming a damaged hoof and can be gentler than a stiff brush with the right setting.
Why is this so relaxing and therapeutic... This is probably a stupid question because I'm sure it's just that you've been educated and trained on it, but how do you know how much hoof you can trim away? You slice away so much so quick, is it just instinctual for you at this point? EDIT: Nevermind, I kept watching and you basically answered this haha
Yes!! Therapeutic is the word I needed!! Why is it so therapeutic?? I'm calling him the "BOSS ROSS OF COW FEET" .. Bahahaha 😂🤣😂.. It's really good to know I'm not alone!
RELAXING????? This is the most anxiety inducing video ever. He keeps cutting closer and closer to the point it hurts. You dont know when that point will come but you know its just 1mm too far and theres the pain. Sure he does a great job but one little mistake and its like ripping fingernails,

It’s satisfying watching you clean everything up but imo, the most satisfying part is knowing these animals aren’t in as much pain and are on their way to recovery
Just found this channel, and Mr. Nate is so gentle and thoughtful in his process. I saw another channel just aggressively chopping at a hoof that was severely abscessed. Poor baby would twitch in obvious discomfort, i just couldn't watch. In the field I'm in if a patient is twitching or tensing up they aren't comfortable. This will be my channel from now on. Nate is a true healer. So grateful for humans like him. Go! Mr. Nate Go! You are appreciated for sharing your passion and the wealth of knowledge you provide during your videos!
The issue with an abcess is you need to reach the end of it, or it just won't heal right, whereas with stones, you can just go at it slowly, and do the least damage possible. I agree that fixing an abcess often looks awful though.
I think I read somewhere that cows have a highly developed emotional intelligence. They have a best friends and get sad when separated from them. Makes sense why they are highly revered in some countries, very cool creatures ❤️
@@JeSuisDeTexas cows are straight up not smart. but don't get me wrong cows are still cool, and highly developed emotionally. however in terms of actual intelligence cows are outsmarted by dogs.

Yeah, I've seen other farriers just absolutely hack away at the horn until the lesion is bleeding like crazy. I mean, I'm not a farrier myself so I'm not as knowledgeable, but I thought that only new tissue really bleeds, and the point was to reduce trauma to forming tissue. I found this guy and always thought he does a better job.
@@AccidentallyOnPurpose dude exactly! I find they bs it away saying it isn't live tissue too (even though the cows are shuffling or making distressed sounds) nate is hands down the most careful guy I've seen by far and if he ever does nick the skin he admits to it at least
I'm glad to know that animal welfare information from the UK is useful! I've worked a bit in agriculture on and off over the past few years and the lack of support from our government to the industry is appalling, with many of cow farms going out of business. I think the government take them for granted. So things like that, as you mentioned make me realise even more how important it is that our government should support us here in the UK, rather than letting businesses go under and the industry suffer. Edit: We tend to use Iodine solution quite a lot here in the UK as an antiseptic. I've just discovered your videos, but I like them! Good stuff
I have no clue how this got added to my recommendations but that was very fascinating to watch. You look like a master of your craft and I'm sure the cow felt so much better after. Also, I think you have fantastic narration, very easy to listen to.
Best channel, straight to business, no music no distraction and your voice is lovely, your explanations very clear and I’ve been watching before sleep for a few days now, works like a charm lol Thanks for teaching us!
I don’t know how these cow podiatry appointments wind up in my recommended, but boy am I glad they did. I’d like to think the cow being treated felt that final stone come out and was probably like “wow this pedicure really hit the spot!”
Man. You deserve a lot of bravos for what you do for these animals. I hope the regular people who just go and buy milk from the store see that and also from where that milk comes from. Good job..
I watch these with the sound off and my toes curl the entire time. I never knew cows needed this done, but I’m glad they have you to give them what looks like much needed relief
I have a weak stomach, but for some reason, I feel better watching you help these cows. I'm glad you're so caringly treating their foot problems. Thanks for helping them suffer less pain in their lives.
I swear it looks like you’re peeling a potato. This is Pretty cool stuff man. Glad to see the level of care you provide to these beautiful and essential creatures.
Heck, I am a fan of the Hoof GP already, and if this wasn‘t enough, I like the way how this man here works - great, sensitive craftsmanship, well explained. Complements over the pond!
@@atrane365 give some of his videos a try. Hes actually a super genuine person and down to earth. It's never clickbait, and always shows exactly as promised 😊
It’s refreshing to see cows being well cared for … They give us so much .. I wish we didn’t depend on them for certain things but it’s a crappy necessity.. Either way I’m grateful for your excellent efforts to care for your or someone’s livestock..
You took the words out of my. Each cut revealed more tiny stones. Nature has done an amazing job really. Evolution has provided us the ability to help this planets creatures.

I was half raised by my grandparents who were rice farmers and they had water buffaloes. Your videos kinda remind me of my childhood home. It’s gteat them cows are getting the help they need.
Hi Nate. For all of us lay-people when it comes to hoof maintenance (and you've probably explained this a thousand times so apologies in advance), how on earth do you know when you've cut too deep into the sensitive area? Obviously hooves are like nails on a human with no feeling, but using the human analogy, you eventually get to the quick when it starts to hurt/bleed. How deep is the quick on a cow hoof?
I dont know anything about cows, but i know a lot about nail pains since i bite mine. Once it gets past the white part of the nail it starts hurting, so i'd assume it'd be the same for cows.
@@antsy_does Yeah. I just hope we make more humane and painless ways for the poor babies to go. Im sorry, this is controversial, but its nature. They were going to end up aten most likely in the wild, so its kind of like you might as well if it means one person gets to eat another day.
Poor cow, who would have thought they have issues like that! I'm so glad they're getting fixed up. Your vids are really relaxing & you have a therapeutic voice. Keep up the good work 👍🏾
Man I watched a few others videos doing this and you clearly show respect for that cow and take your time and not just be so forceful so like I said in one of your videos, much respect to you for what you do. Great jobs
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE… Please give us the pleasure of watching the cows walking happily when it’s all done. That’s the most exciting part. Only a minute or two please.
You are amazing. Precise, gentle, and deliberate with your moves. As to the thought of a pressure washer to remove stones, would that not be uncomfortable for the cow? I have limited experience with horses feet. I would not think of that being a good idea because you would be forcing water into who knows what beneath what you see on the surface, thus your controlled removal approach.
Why can’t I stop watching these videos!?!? I am recovering from back surgery and having to rest in bed and I am entertained watching these videos. Over and over. Hooked . It’s relaxing to me.
Definitely have to let her get back to her day. She still has a lot of work to do: making phone calls, answering e-mails, sending out invoices, taking her lunch break, engaging in some water cooler chat and gossiping, etc.
She's like "I feel so much better... Time to stuff my face."... Said so many other women lolll ✋🏻. Seriously though, I can only fathom the discomfort & pain that's felt with so much weight & pressure being put on this. Poor babies!
Did she go out on the gravel road at midnight with a full moon and have a dalliance with that Bull? I've never seen so many tiny stones in my life!! I'm so grateful that you helped her!! ❤️❤️❤️
this is amazing . most people would never know about cows hoofs without ur videos. keep up the good work educating everyone as you take us on your journey!
WoW, these little stones really got in there pretty deep! Nate, your knife work is beyond excellent(I watch other hoof trimmers as well but don’t own a cow, or live on a farm😊) and of course the close-ups are amazing.👀 Overall a great video!👍🏼 Best wishes send from a fan in Canada, take care èh....🙏🏼🍀🐄👋🏼🇨🇦
I am not even sure how I ended up here, but the fact that just 20 minutes ago I was bawling out my eyes and had to take a calming pill (my dad died 5 months ago and this took a huge toll on me), and now I am here, watching videos about cow podiatry and they help me a lot... life is strange. Thank you.
Great work as always! When there are a lot of stones like this I worry about your poor knife, I know you like to keep it sharp. Hopefully it didn't get too beat up dealing with all of that.
Good grief, she must have been in agony! Great job - as she walked out it looked as if she could hardly believe that the pain had subsided. I'd never seen a hoof with all those pockets before. The big guy at the start was a handsome chap for sure, but he was definitely giving you "the look"!
I am a city girl that has never even touched a cow. I’ve always loved nature shows like Planet Earth, Monster Bug Wars , and Frozen Planet. So, when I came across this, I was hooked and can’t stop watching.
Worst case of “I’ve got a rock in my shoe” ever! I don’t work in a farm, or with animals at all, but I love seeing these videos because of how satisfying it is to know how much relief and care you are bringing to these gentle, amazing animals!

I mean, I'm not a farrier myself so I'm not as knowledgeable, but I thought that only new tissue really bleeds, and the point was to reduce trauma to forming tissue. I found this guy and always thought he does a better job.
@@AccidentallyOnPurpose dude exactly! I find they bs it away saying it isn't live tissue too (even though the cows are shuffling or making distressed sounds) nate is hands down the most careful guy I've seen by far and if he ever does nick the skin he admits to it at least
Another good channel to watch is the Hoof GP, he a Scottish hoof trimmer and he takes such good care of all the cows he trims
I'm glad to know that animal welfare information from the UK is useful! I've worked a bit in agriculture on and off over the past few years and the lack of support from our government to the industry is appalling, with many of cow farms going out of business. I think the government take them for granted. So things like that, as you mentioned make me realise even more how important it is that our government should support us here in the UK, rather than letting businesses go under and the industry suffer.
Edit: We tend to use Iodine solution quite a lot here in the UK as an antiseptic.
I've just discovered your videos, but I like them! Good stuff
I have no clue how this got added to my recommendations but that was very fascinating to watch. You look like a master of your craft and I'm sure the cow felt so much better after.
Also, I think you have fantastic narration, very easy to listen to.
nate is so gentle that even when he's been working on a sore spot, it doesn't even look inflamed at the end.
Best channel, straight to business, no music no distraction and your voice is lovely, your explanations very clear and I’ve been watching before sleep for a few days now, works like a charm lol
Thanks for teaching us!
Love how much this guy cares for his animals
I don’t know how these cow podiatry appointments wind up in my recommended, but boy am I glad they did. I’d like to think the cow being treated felt that final stone come out and was probably like “wow this pedicure really hit the spot!”
Man. You deserve a lot of bravos for what you do for these animals. I hope the regular people who just go and buy milk from the store see that and also from where that milk comes from. Good job..
I watch these with the sound off and my toes curl the entire time. I never knew cows needed this done, but I’m glad they have you to give them what looks like much needed relief
I enjoy watching a master craftsman, and healer to boot.
you show your years of experience without arrogance, Bravo!
The way he trims up the hoof horn is just beautiful. A true work of art.
I have a weak stomach, but for some reason, I feel better watching you help these cows. I'm glad you're so caringly treating their foot problems. Thanks for helping them suffer less pain in their lives.
A pressure washer? That could really hurt the cow, couldn’t it? Glad you didn’t try it.
Yep. I wouldn’t try it. Just answering a question.
Nate knows how to release pressure and make cows happy!👍
I swear it looks like you’re peeling a potato. This is Pretty cool stuff man. Glad to see the level of care you provide to these beautiful and essential creatures.
Amazing to see how much diligence and care you apply when you help those creatures. 👍
Heck, I am a fan of the Hoof GP already, and if this wasn‘t enough, I like the way how this man here works - great, sensitive craftsmanship, well explained. Complements over the pond!
I've looked at hispage. All of his videos look a little... clickbaity, I guess? Doesn't give off the same vibe as Nate here
@@atrane365 give some of his videos a try. Hes actually a super genuine person and down to earth. It's never clickbait, and always shows exactly as promised 😊
You're amazing, Nate. So gentle. God bless you, it's truly beautiful to watch. 🙏
It’s refreshing to see cows being well cared for … They give us so much .. I wish we didn’t depend on them for certain things but it’s a crappy necessity.. Either way I’m grateful for your excellent efforts to care for your or someone’s livestock..
I can almost feel the relief that you provide these animals.
Those 40 dislikes come from the stones in the cow's foot.
BAHAHAHHA
Dammit, that comment was perfection. 😂
This is the 3rd best comment iv seen. Thank you.
😂😂 HAHAHA
I’m fascinated with how well he does his job caring for our four legged friends
I luv that close up of her snout! 🐮 she’s feeling a lot better now! 👍
I never knew I could enjoy this so much; a recent fan who hopped on last year, grateful for your work Mr. Nate
It’s always so satisfying when you clean out rocks from a wound. Love the vids and work you do.
You took the words out of my. Each cut revealed more tiny stones. Nature has done an amazing job really. Evolution has provided us the ability to help this planets creatures.
Who’d of thought watching cows get their feet trimmed would be so enjoyable. This guy and the hoof gp are my fave channels.
Yesss!
Who would have thought
Who'd have thought
Who'd've thought
But never who would *of* thought. This is what results from knowing the sound of the words and not being taught the words themselves. 🤷🏻♂️
@@JerGol oh no! Guess I should OF listened more in school 25 years ago!
@@bvbinsane1vanity school is lame. I did all my schooling in Vietnam and I turned out ok. Those little Viet villages didn't turn out so good. Potato tomato as they say.
This is my first video I've seen of Nate. Until now I've only watched the hoof gp, but Nate seems good too
Nate…I love watching what you do, especially when you circumvent your knife, always so gently, around the problem area.
And then, your wonderful voice makes it even more absorbing…thank you from England! 🙋♀️😁🐄💕
it always amaze me how sharp that tool is to peel a hoof that easily
Poor cow. Thank goodness you are there to help. I’m sure she is thankful.
Hello Kat how are you doing today.
I was half raised by my grandparents who were rice farmers and they had water buffaloes. Your videos kinda remind me of my childhood home. It’s gteat them cows are getting the help they need.
Hi Nate. For all of us lay-people when it comes to hoof maintenance (and you've probably explained this a thousand times so apologies in advance), how on earth do you know when you've cut too deep into the sensitive area? Obviously hooves are like nails on a human with no feeling, but using the human analogy, you eventually get to the quick when it starts to hurt/bleed. How deep is the quick on a cow hoof?
It varies but you can tell by color and consistency and when it comes to problems you can tell by the separation.
I dont know anything about cows, but i know a lot about nail pains since i bite mine. Once it gets past the white part of the nail it starts hurting, so i'd assume it'd be the same for cows.
I so appreciate how delicate you are with every move you make, it’s so lovely and relaxing to watch the tender care taken with every cow.
Agreed, but then they end up in the slaughterhouse and that's anything but delicate :(
@@antsy_does Yeah. I just hope we make more humane and painless ways for the poor babies to go. Im sorry, this is controversial, but its nature. They were going to end up aten most likely in the wild, so its kind of like you might as well if it means one person gets to eat another day.
Don’t own cows, never have, and probably never will. But this was really interesting to watch.
Poor cow, who would have thought they have issues like that! I'm so glad they're getting fixed up. Your vids are really relaxing & you have a therapeutic voice. Keep up the good work 👍🏾
Am I the only one that knows nothing about cows but clicks and watches these videos and gets a sense of relief everytime.
Fun fact: the way we find this guy channel is proving we don't know we need something when we do.
Someone give this man an award for being so damn gentle 🥺🥰🥰🥰
Man I watched a few others videos doing this and you clearly show respect for that cow and take your time and not just be so forceful so like I said in one of your videos, much respect to you for what you do. Great jobs
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE…
Please give us the pleasure of watching the cows walking happily when it’s all done. That’s the most exciting part. Only a minute or two please.
How long does it take for the hoof to rebuild itself?
Good question
Usually 6-8 weeks for the cow to fully regrow the sole's thickness
On another vid they said it takes months.
All jokes aside I actually thought they took the hoof off and remade like the horse shoe
Another video said it takes 11 months
You are amazing. Precise, gentle, and deliberate with your moves. As to the thought of a pressure washer to remove stones, would that not be uncomfortable for the cow? I have limited experience with horses feet. I would not think of that being a good idea because you would be forcing water into who knows what beneath what you see on the surface, thus your controlled removal approach.
Yes, pressure washers shouldn’t be used near living tissue! You said just what I was thinking!
In the start I could not imagine So many tiny stones in her hoof 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰👍👍👍
Nate you are Blessing for these poor Animals
Best Wishes From Pakistan
Why can’t I stop watching these videos!?!? I am recovering from back surgery and having to rest in bed and I am entertained watching these videos. Over and over. Hooked . It’s relaxing to me.
Definitely have to let her get back to her day. She still has a lot of work to do: making phone calls, answering e-mails, sending out invoices, taking her lunch break, engaging in some water cooler chat and gossiping, etc.
Delaying her any further would be beyond the pail.
I went from pimple poppers to cow hoof treatments and I cannot find the urge to stop watching.
She's like "I feel so much better... Time to stuff my face."... Said so many other women lolll ✋🏻.
Seriously though, I can only fathom the discomfort & pain that's felt with so much weight & pressure being put on this. Poor babies!
Upon seeing how serious it was, I just wanted the cow to be treated as soon as possible. Thank you, Nate.
Did she go out on the gravel road at midnight with a full moon and have a dalliance with that Bull? I've never seen so many tiny stones in my life!!
I'm so grateful that you helped her!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Nancy how are you doing today.
I’m a carpenter but with the amount of these videos I’ve seen and the things I’ve learned I might be able to do it in a last ditch effort :D
I'm addicted to these. What is your training or educational background?
this is amazing . most people would never know about cows hoofs without ur videos. keep up the good work educating everyone as you take us on your journey!
WoW, these little stones really got in there pretty deep! Nate, your knife work is beyond excellent(I watch other hoof trimmers as well but don’t own a cow, or live on a farm😊) and of course the close-ups are amazing.👀 Overall a great video!👍🏼 Best wishes send from a fan in Canada, take care èh....🙏🏼🍀🐄👋🏼🇨🇦
I am not even sure how I ended up here, but the fact that just 20 minutes ago I was bawling out my eyes and had to take a calming pill (my dad died 5 months ago and this took a huge toll on me), and now I am here, watching videos about cow podiatry and they help me a lot... life is strange. Thank you.
Great work as always! When there are a lot of stones like this I worry about your poor knife, I know you like to keep it sharp. Hopefully it didn't get too beat up dealing with all of that.
It's nice when TH-cam finally recommends you something worthy to watch
Good grief, she must have been in agony! Great job - as she walked out it looked as if she could hardly believe that the pain had subsided. I'd never seen a hoof with all those pockets before. The big guy at the start was a handsome chap for sure, but he was definitely giving you "the look"!
They always do. 😉
Hello Yvonne how are you doing today.
I like the ending, seeing the cows eating.
Pressure wash it wow 2000 to 6000 psi could do some real damage like cut into live tissue
I am a city girl that has never even touched a cow. I’ve always loved nature shows like Planet Earth, Monster Bug Wars , and Frozen Planet. So, when I came across this, I was hooked and can’t stop watching.
Worst case of “I’ve got a rock in my shoe” ever! I don’t work in a farm, or with animals at all, but I love seeing these videos because of how satisfying it is to know how much relief and care you are bringing to these gentle, amazing animals!
Holsteins r cute ☺️
God Loves you repent and trust in Jesus before its too late Romans 10:9 if you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead you will be saved.

Wow. I didn't know that wil's watching this too! Hahahaha.
