I listen for his voice. Very relaxing. Which is great because it makes me not so freaked out when seeing the more gooey parts
Yes. He has a very calm and soothing tone.
I agree, very professional
He's like the chef John of hoof videos
"dont worry, this foots not finished and we'll be coming back to it" takes care of the viewers like he takes care of these hooves
Love how he explains what he's doing and why. I want to be a hoof trimmer now.
Ok👍.
Me too lol
Funny thing.. Showed my mother a Video from Nate. She told how they used to watch the hoof trimming on their own cows and the neighbours cows all the time when the "Klauenpfleger" (thats what we call hoof trimmer in german ) was in the village :-)
So she could totally emphatize why I watch these videos 😂
I thought the same thing - for about five seconds. Being around all that muck? Thx but no.
@@Goldarr1900 : I hope so. And I still say “nope!”
Thank you for caring for the animals and remembering there are living, feeling, beings attached to the feet you’re working on. It seems many hoof people forget this.
3:45 Just as I was thinking: "Oh dear... that cow must be hurting from him cleaning the wound" you explain it was a different cow. Thanks, I appreciate that. :P
if it was that cow the Muus would be lower anyway :/
Please see
I like how clean and tidy this cow barn is. I think many people watching when they say shouldn't you clean the hoof before beginning treatment, are mainly concerned with the manure.
I really appreciate how gentle you are with these poor cows n empathize that they are in pain. There's other hoof Drs that slam the knife/cutter so hard into the hoof knowing they are already in pain. Thank you for caring
"Shes ready to get some breakfast and then take a nap!" Me on any given day lol
I grew up on huge beef cattle ranches out west. I never knew you had to trim dairy cows . Every once in a while we would have one show up with a stone , but maybe 5 in 20 years. Wow.
Maybe they weren't standing in cow shit all day on concrete 🤔
@@bustersmith5569 In the winter, dairy cattle are usually kept in all season long. As someone who grew up on a dairy farm, we did that. Pastured cattle are susceptible to things as well.
So nice to see someone who takes pride in what he does. Truly caring for each animal he treats. Thanks man
This is fascinating. I'm a wood guy and love tools. It would be cool to see all your tools and their uses. Like what kind of grinding wheels? How are the knives different? A brief tutorial on the cradle machine and how it works with back or front feet. Nomenclature of the goo's and caps and wraps...
Here you go..one on the chute and one on the tools..

As a retired IT professional, I never thought that Id find a series on cow-hoof maintenance to be of any interest. Prior to seeing my first Nate video, I'd always assumed that cows' feet pretty much took care of themselves, if I ever thought about it at all. It's strangely satisfying to watch Nate whittle away at all the badness, leaving only a foot ready to heel,
Heeeeeeel 💕 xD
You sir are the very best at hoof trimming on TH-cam. No useless rambling in your videos. You get straight to the trim and when you do talk it's all knowledge and facts which really educates the viewers. Keep up the amazing work
I really like how the cement floor is dry, means a lot less of cows slipping and probably less harmful bacteria.
I think a 99% of people say and think you should clean it up before because they see open areas and think it will lead to infection but animals have such an amazing antibodies and can fight infection tons better than humans can
There's a mark that looks just like a number 2 that is exposed when removing loose horn after 6:40.
i was gonna mention that. it really looks like a printed number.
I was thinking the same thing... such a clear 2
I seen 22 if you look closely you can see the other 2
So did anyone find out way the 2 is there / how it got there?
I came looking for this to be explained. It was so weird
I'm impressed by your knowledge and the care you take in your work.
At 7:26 there's a 2 on the hoof that you can see while you're trimming!
There is also a 14 on the outside toe.
The left hoof your working on looks just like a number 2 as you cut the loose hoof. I noticed it at 8 mins into the video. Cool
Yeah, I kept waiting for him to explain why there was a number on her foot. Then at the end it was gone and I guessed it was just a weird piece of horn and not intentional. It looked perfect though!
It's just horn that's become oxidised and/or stained. It's irregular due to the history of the injury.
You are so laid back on your vids. Voice, along with your trimming are so awesome and relaxing. You show a lot of care for the animals as well
I get interested in the cows age. Does this type stuff happen to feeder cattle before market? Is it more of a 1 year, 2 year, or plus age group? Obviously the landscape and housing is a contributing factor.
It can but the majority of feeder cattle go to market at under two years of age so they’ll have fewer problems.
The girls in line are like “geeeee Margret! Take forever! We want mani/pedi day too” 😂😂
Odor is a dead giveaway for anaerobic organisms in nursing (my field)... assuming digital dermatitis is also anaerobic.
Jen Scott not sure how much odor there is when they’re already covered in muck and poo.
@@mysticmaidensoaps2960 Poo and urine are unpleasant. Anaerobic bacteria are a different kind of *blargh*. It may need to be stronger to separate it out from the other smells, but you will be able to tell them apart. The bigger challenge to detection by smell is the open barns with wind refreshing the air.
@@jen43072 is correct. Odor is associated with anaerobic bacteria and treponema bacteria are anaerobes. The smell is distinct and often times I can smell them before I even see them.
Not "pedi day" but "piedi day" (il giorno dei piedi?)
I could watch this all day, like a fine surgeon.
I really appreciate your videos without any annoying soundtrack. THANK YOU!!! 😍😍😍
Hi Nate! Good video as always. I'm one of the people who asked about disinfecting the claw prior to trimming a problem. In case I didn't say earlier, I'm retired medical; we disinfected everything that moved. My thought was to disinfect the claw first so as not to contaminate the open wound; but I didn't realize just how contaminated the wound already was. It was ignorance on my part. I have another question, and I hope it isn't crosseyed. Can a cow's dew claws have hairy warts? Thanks again for the video. Take good care and stay safe and warm!
Yes, Hoof GP has a couple of videos of dermatitis on dew claws and in time, I don't doubt, Nate will.
Yes they can. Here’s a video I did on one last spring. th-cam.com/video/OFsFBuVEzWI/w-d-xo.html
@@alistairclement4239 no one asked what another channel is doing 😒 they asked Nate.
@@mimiwonder don't think the commenter meant it maliciously. Another hoof trimmers advice is just as good and helpful. I'm sure they just didn't know if Nate had any videos on this topic and for trimmers or people that are curious it is sometimes better to see than to just explain. No need to get butthurt over it
Shes walking pretty good after her foot treatment. I think she is pretty happy with your tlc. Good work Nate.
Videos like this, I always think, "Oh, that poor cow!" but then Nate makes it all better.
I’m always amazed how tough these animals are.
as a fellow Nate, you're one of the greatest my man! keep it up
I understand why some people would want you to disinfect before cutting - kinda like disinfecting before surgery. But this isn't surgery.
You explained it well.
Love how you describe what you’re doing in your videos. Keep up the great work
The farmers are lucky you trim their cows. I love these amazing animals.
Спасибо вам , хорошие , добрые люди !!! Доброе дело делаете ! Да храни вас бог !
Thank you. The problem of higher damaged areas has been coming up. Good timing.
Just love watching you providing relief to these poor animals.
I'm a city girl who moved to a country town. Know nothing about farming but hell, love this stuff. Lucky you that the gals are mooing for your company. Lol
Excellent vid as always.
From Rotorua,New Zealand.
I want to visit New Zealand someday.
As usual Nate great job and explanation of why you do what you do. Stay safe for you, your family and of course for the girls whose feet need you. Thank you
That sole ulcer is so big and it looks painful. I'm glad she's getting her hoof fixed. I don't think my grandparents ever got their cows feet fixed like this. Can't remember their feet that well. I was more focused on their horns and udders.
Excellent explanation Nate. I was mesmerised by your knife work. Truly outstanding.
Great explanation. I always wondered why sometimes you would leave dark areas and sometimes not
Nate, I am seeing a lot of newer trimmers now on TH-cam and I sure enjoy your videos. They’re so explanatory, kind, great work! Great work a cut above the rest !!
I love your videos. You certainly are well-informed and competent at what you do.
Thank you and again your explanations as to what and why the trimming is being done is easy to understand. Good Job!
I grew up on a farm an my Dad did some of this..brings such great memories...ty
How does one go about becoming a hoof guy? I love this channel. Nate, can I be your apprentice?
Anybody else see the perfect #2 under the loose horn? Crazy!
Yes!!! Weird huh and I never even noticed it until it was pointed out.
Yes!! So glad I wasn’t the only one! Ha!
Good, Im not crazy.
Another excellent video Nate. Excellent work too! Thank you for sharing this.
I was so proud of myself to diagnose the first hoof shown. Hairy Wart, thanks for the education Nate!
Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed watching this. Have a nice safe day!!!
You are amazing at what you do. Your knife skills are great. Definitely the best ive ever seen. Keep up the fantastic work you are a blessing for those poor animals. God bless and safe trimming
Love how you explained skipping cleaning before getting to the problem (the nurse and glove) like 30s after i thought "how would i discribe it in a simple way?". awesome videos keep up your work
When they flinch, you know it's gotta sting a bit, but, it needs to be done. Poor thing. Hope she feels better
I asked the same thing does the powder medicine sting at first!
Nate, maybe this has been asked before. Grahame Parker always talks about trimming the claws level is always the first thing you do before addressing any other issues. I noticed, on balance, that you work more one claw at a time.
Just different methods. I trim each claw to its natural state creating a uniform sole thickness. Lowering one heel to match the other doesn’t always create uniform sole thickness which is my priority when trimming. Creating uniform sole thickness ensures the bones are properly aligned inside the foot.
Good explanation about the desinfecting.
I thought it was obvious, but apparently not
👍🏻👍🏻🌷👍🏻👍🏻
I'm glad you took the time to answer the question about disinfecting the hoof before you started cutting, because I was wondering about that. However, I have an additional question. Why doesn't all the dirt and grime need to be cleaned off if you're getting down to the problem site of the hoof? You made an analogy to a glove that made sense for the dead horn part. But cows step in mud and poop, so why isn't there a concern for infection? If you cut yourself in a mud puddle, the nurse WOULD clean off the mud first before treating the wound. I'm sure cow hooves are quite different, so I know if it was an issue you'd do it, I'm just wondering why it isn't an issue. Thanks!
You have some serious knife skills, awesome, you’re like a hoof ninja!
I love these round cuts you make kinda starting from the hook of tge knife. Those are ever so satisfying!! 😊😊
hey nate hope you and family are all keeping well and those cows too
I’m amazed at the way the back leg is straight back from the hip.
Ginger Cox. It's held in place in a machine called a crush. It's a wonderful little thing that holds the leg in place and immobile and prevents the cow from kicking the vet.
The girls waiting are yelling at you to hurry up haha🐄 as always love hearing you teach.🤎
Excellent narration as usual
Yes, great explanation for the process! I find these vids very interesting.
Another well presented and informative video. No annoying background music or silly wisecracks. More of the same please.
Great work Nate...keep continuing
You cut through it all like butter! 😮 nice!
Loved the knife work!
Do the cows not have any feeling in the outer layers of their hoof?
I'm flabbergasted by all the work you guys do on their hoof without so much as a flinch from the cow!
I assume that it's similar to our fingernails; the white part is no longer living tissue so it doesn't bleed or cause pain
Great work. Great video.
You've explained how using disinfectant first would be a waste, but would a water spray be helpful to take off the big chunks of mud/etc so you can start with a cleanish slate?
I like you show alot of trimming and stuff, some other channels will just talk for the first half before they finally start trimming.
It's crazy. I grew up on a farm and i can't ever remember my grandpa having to do cow 🐮 or donkey hooves. Only ones were the horses 🐎. Not understanding why.? ?
he mentions in another video that a lot of the infections and injuries come from the cows standing on concrete. if your farm animals were just hanging out on dirt or grass, they probably didn't get hurt as often cuz the ground was softer :)
Would trimming more often help in the overall treatments of the cow's hoof care and health as well?
Yes.
"Nate, the Gentle Hoof Guy!"
You have the perfect narrative voice! Well I'm going to an AA mtg all have to watch the rest of your videos another time! Peace Out
I definitely respect the care you show in treating the cows. Im wondering why there is so much feces and mud on their hooves.. every cow you treat seem so dirty... do they graze in a pasture?
You are an awesome narrator
The one that you flashed back to in the middle looked like it might have had a lesion on the right hand side as it was red underneath. Why didn't you dig it out to make sure there wasn't anything there?
The glove analogy is a great way to explain that.
...good find, nice job...stay safe...
Your videos are just sooooo mesmerising.
Hey I have been watching for a while now and I was wondering, when you apply the salicylic acid does it burn or tingle causing the cow to flinch?
Oh Nate please DON'T speed up on the grinder.. there's a lot of us who love it! ASMR..❤️❤️
Since I've seen so many of these videos now, I instantly knew that this was digital dermatitis. Yeah, that's my life now. I'm a god damn cow expert. You ever smell those farms? Stinky as hell. I still don't know why I'm so intrigued by these vids.
A more accurate analogy for the disinfecting thing would probably be a finger injury. If you were to bust up the area under your fingernail real bad, disinfecting the fingernail itself wouldn’t do much if the nail needed to be removed.
Great job Nate
Nice glove analogy!
How do you get to this point? Are there too many cows to check them frequently? Do they go unnoticed? Genuine question
Curious question: is it painful for them once the wound is open then salicylic is put?
The analogy u used 4 disinfecting was amazing! Thanx 4 explaining that 4 the people who couldn't figure it out. Lol
Congratulations 200k subscribers!!!
Is there any downside to using the salicylic acid?
Doesn't it work as a painkiller too?
Why not always apply it when there's an injury like this?
You are the best "hoof guy" on TH-cam. You're excellent at what you do and don't feel the need to sell shit and have half of your videos filled with music tracks and boring scenery shots. Well done.
Thanks!!
good analogy about the glove and stuff you said
the deadpan voice when the cow flinched and some acid fell on the ground lmao
7:52 anyone else notice the perfect "2" in the horn
Thanks for your comment on the distant mooing, being not by the one you’re treating.
Que importante que es este video y que ejemplo que nos enseña este veterinario aue los animales hay que curarlos
I know you put a block on one claw to take the weight off the other, infected one. But what would you do it both claws were infected or damaged?
I've been watching these videos for a bit now. Do cows ever have issues with both sides of the hoof? Or is it that you are at the farm often enough that you catch things before it gets both sides in a mess?
They do on occasion. Luckily not very often.
Good videos ! What’s the reason that you don’t rinse or wash the hoof first before doing anything to it? Is their a reason for that .
There are multiple reasons but having wet equipment when working with electrical tools and sharp knives can be dangerous. Also this time of year here it doesn't get above freezing most days so that would create lots of ice which is extremely dangerous for cows.
