Came to say oxen shoes do exist, and have existed since antiquity, but I see others already have so I’ll just add that oxen are cattle (usually steers) used for draft work, so it makes economic and practical sense to keep them shod as they, like horses, do a lot more walking on hard surfaces.
Used primarily for traction purposes in oxen that work the fields. They do exist but are not used to protect from punctures which was the original question I was addressing.
Yeah. As far as I know, horse shoes mostly exist because horses carrying loads (whether a rider, cargo, or both) put more strain on their feet and so the hooves wear out faster if they don't have protection. Most cattle today aren't used as beasts of burden, so they don't need shoes.

The best way to look at it is that the hoof already is a shoe, with toes inside. Keeping them permanently blocked incase of a stone or nail getting stuck to it would be like a human opting to permanently wear a plaster cast on their feet on top of their shoes to avoid their shoes getting scuffed. It would just be more hassle than just letting your shoes wear out like they were meant to
Mr. Nate you are a really nice person. One thing I learned right away is you would never intentionally harm one of the cows. I appreciate how much information and explanation you give. ETA 40,000+ feet a year. Holy cow when do you sleep!
Nate you seem so caring and conscientious and educated about this I'm glad you're taking care of the cows the way you do I bet they appreciate it too 😄
Thank you for that posting. I'm a novice goat-guy and enjoy the different perspectives in trimming. Some may feel those are "stupid questions" but they are not. They are good ideas that are just not practical or economical in most cases. Imagination and ingenuity started with questions such as these. Very informative video presenting the question and rationale for practice in a very common sense way.
It's nice to see these cows mooving. How many times have you heard that joke? Have you ever injured yourself while trimming? Is there ever a time when putting a cow down comes into play because of hoof issues? Thanks for the enjoyable content.
I have injured myself a couple times. Once with a grinder and once with a knife. It’s been years though. Putting a cow down for foot problems isn’t that common.
Thank you Nate, that was interesting. Ox shoes have been found by metal detectors on our farm in the UK, a Google search will throw up examples, these would have been working cattle yoked to a cart or plough.
Lots of oxen shoes found by US metal detectorists. They are called pork chops. When site also produces a king George I or II coin, it is known as "really old"!
Until you get a nice shot of puss in the face, or get to encounter some of the wonderful smells associated with the infections he's described. I'm all set with that. Lol
Man, who would have guessed there's so much physics involved in something as seemingly "simple" as hoof trimming? These vids blow my mind constantly, so ty.
I don’t mean to beat a dead horse ( pun intended, lol ) but is an ox hoof “thicker” than a milk cows hoof?? I know oxen have shoes and I imagine that they are nailed to the hoof like a horseshoe. I’ve seen horses being shoed at a neighbors farm, it looks BRUTAL, but the farrier told me that they don’t feel nothing. Just curious how that is done. Love the videos, keep up the good work!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Oxen CAN wear shoes. Ours do. It really depends on if they can handle their own weight plus the work they are doing. You can Google shoes for Oxen if you are interested.
Love watching here from Copenhagen, Denmark, what you are doing for the wonderful cows. Your voice, language and explanations are simply clear and excellent. Know no one speaking better and clearer than you. Thank you very much for all your nice videos.
I legit only came here to say thank you for being so gentle with these cows feet. After seeing other ppl do it I can’t believe how rough they can be. You really do care about these cows and are not just doing a job. So thank you :)
You're so good at explaining things in an understandable way, and I love that you answer as many questions as you can and make sure everybody knows that what you do does not hurt the cow despite how it may look.
i love seeing healthy cows' feet get done! i know you have a seperate channel for healthy hooves, but the treat of seeing a normal hoof on this channel makes me happy
Youre such a good teacher. Ive been watching you since you started. I remember you telling us that your son encouraged you to talk to us. You are a delight.
Brother, I really appreciate how you do educational bits in your vids. I really enjoy picking up the knowledge and I thank you for throwing it out there. 😃🙏🏼
I know that back in colonial times oxen were shoed and used for many kinds of work, plowing and hauling particularly. The shoes of oxen were 2 per foot. The guys on Stealth Diggers metal detect on old homestead sites in New Hampshire and they find lots and lots of "pork chops" as they call the ox shoes. They find many more ox shoes than horse shoes.
Hi Nate, how about ……you just answered all my questions about blocks ! LOL. Sometimes you don’t go as high on their heel..today you have on the first one..is there a reason for this? 1:44am… bedtime..
Good morning Nate! Great video! Love love love all the info and knowledge you give on your videos. I most likely will never own a cow but your videos give me a satisfaction that i dont know where it comes from 😂 Have a great day!
Hi Nate. I am writing to you from Spain and he can tell you that before they did put horseshoes on cows. They were different horseshoes, split in half from those used for horses. They were used to give greater grip because these cattle were used basically as work animals. To pull carts and wagons, to work with the plow, and so on. But even so, the legs of the cows also need maintenance.
I love how patiently you explain everything. Missed watching these video when i was visiting family last week 😢 have a no phone or internet thing when visiting friends and family.
Maestro Nate does it again!! You need to open a school and take on apprentices so you can pass your in depth and compassionate knowledge good sir. I always learn so much from your videos.
Wow I really appreciate you explaining all this. I didn't think horse shoes would work because of cost but you explained some things I had not considered. EG: Their white line is thinner than a horses.
nice to watch one of you guys work on a healthy hoof for a change ( i know that that is the majority of your business my Dad was a skilled horse shoer /farrier) interesting to watch you guys work
I was always curious about why cows don´t get shoed. Not really with a horse shoe, since yk, split hoof, but they don´t get anything there at all. This was very useful!!
I never owned a cow and I still can't stop watching this videos... These kind of videos appeared out of nowhere and now I'm subbed to a few channels 🤣🤣🤣
I once commented (this guy is no Hoof GP but he’s still good) and I was wrong. I think you’re phenomenal Nate, and you’ve become my favorite. I apologize for comparing you
Gotta get my heart rate down before donating plasma (anxiety) and I thought only Nate can calm me. Let's trim some hoofs!!! Thank you for these videos and my closeted TH-cam obsession.
Thanks for your videos, you know so much and can explain in very understandable way, you're great professional. Glad that I found this channel! Keep it up:)
Great video some this I knew some by instinct from growing up around cattle. The four block part though finally explained why blocks do cause problems sometimes.
Hi Nate, Hope you're well. Quick questions, which farms do you go to the most, the organic or commercial? How many cows can you trim in an average day? I love your channel so much. It's almost how I meditate. Keep up the amazing content man.
My great uncle has a pair of oxen shoes from sometime in the 1800’s, but it’s two separate shoes so the claws can articulate. Obviously that was for an animal that was pulling a cart into town, or something.
You have probably already answered this somewhere, I love how educational you make your videos! What happens to the blocks when the cow sheds them? Do the farmers collect them? Can they be reused or recycled?
Just to make sure I understand, the broad answer is that we are assuming cows hoofs grow straight down, perpendicular to gravity, but they actually grow at more of an angle, down and forward? So the white line appears to move forward and so would the blocks as hoof grows?
I think cows got the raw end of the deal. They're subject and prone to so many hoof problems... But, I'm glad that you take good care of these old girls... Nice job, Mr. Nate Man. 🐄👍🤠
Thank you! You answered my questions. And even questions I didn't know I had. I wish you were in North Texas and could trim the hooves on my beef cattle. They are on pasture but would still benefit. V
I am fascinated by these videos, thanks for answering these questions. I am always curious to know when you are using the trimming knife, how tough is that hoof to cut into? Would you compare it to a raw potato, a coconut shell, a block of Parmesan cheese, or what? Or I suppose it depends on the cow?
the cows of my grandma had irons on the feet. They looked like "slippers" In former times, the poor farmers had no horses, so the cows had to pull "trailers" with hay, potatoes.. grass.. wood from the sawmill and they had to pull the plow... but careful.. cause.. strong working cows.. don't give enough milk for the family! 💪... used till the early 60th here... today.. unbelievable.. 😂
They used to have metal shoes for cattle, but when we stopped useing them as draft animals the shoes were no longer needed, and were no longer practical, they needed to be changed fairly regularly to keep up with growth as he stated.
Assuming you don't run into problems, how many cows can you trim in a day? Do you spend a full day at each farm or do you go to multiple farms in a day?

Sorry boss, the name stuck😄
just bioengineer the cows to slightly levitate above the ground, don't worry about the slightly radioactive milk.
How does one bioengineer a cow?

Exceptional educational content as always. The apparent change in the white line was fascinating to observe!
We put shoes on bulls who work on fields or pull carts in the subcontinent. But it’s a small shoe for each claw. Great 👍🏻 work Nate as always.

It goes through the nail, no tissue, so the horses literally don’t feel it.
Oxen are still cows and no, they are not shoed. Horses have very hard feet with very thick horn and shoeing is not painful for them at all.
Oxen CAN wear shoes. Ours do. It really depends on if they can handle their own weight plus the work they are doing. You can Google shoes for Oxen if you are interested.

Just to make sure I understand, the broad answer is that we are assuming cows hoofs grow straight down, perpendicular to gravity, but they actually grow at more of an angle, down and forward?
So the white line appears to move forward and so would the blocks as hoof grows?
Ox shoes, or 'cues' used to be used here in UK, they look like half-moons although I've seen some in a leaf shape.
