It’s funny you talk about sleeping cows. My daughter (2-1/2 years old) and I will climb into bed at bedtime and I will ask her what she wants to watch. She almost always says “cow foot” and we put a Nate the Hoof Guy video on and she’s usually out by the end of it. We really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!
@@MangaMiyn I really like him and his channel, but man those songs he always plays are so gay/girly… Wonder if it’s only for the channel or does he really bump those tunes in his pickup ? 😂😂
I've watch a lot of cow hoof trimming videos on TH-cam (way more than I ever thought I would) and I can say, without exception, that Nate is the best of them all. He's so careful to ensure the cow is as comfortable as possible and does an amazing job.
@@Mimi-ip6vv he works too quickly imo. Maybe he works with a higher volume or maybe it's because of the different crush but it just seems cavalier sometimes. Edit: keep in mind all ive learned about the business is through TH-camrs so im in NO position to tell anybody how to do their job especially in one I'm not trained for lol GP seems nice chap and well educated but i just can't shake the feeling that its too fast so it gives me anxiety. I watch both channels regardless lol.
This is probably how we feel as humans when we get pedicures or see a foot doctor. We feel immediate relief after the problems of our feet are taken care of by professionals. You guys are the "My Feet Are Killing Me" doctors of the animal kingdom. The cows are happy after you get done. So job well done. I have no idea how I got on your channel but I'm glad I did. I love cows.
I love how calm and comfortable they are around you. That just goes to show that despite what you're doing to them (to some people you're being rough) they trust you completely and aren't scared of you at all.
Hey Nate just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you put into your content love your channel and all the interesting things i learn god bless brother
I have learned a lot from you. I may never use this information but as least if someone is taking about cows, I can follow along in the conversation with them.
I know I do. I think it's for me to see the animal happy again. And people willing to help them and it's great to see the animal relieved of their problems. I think that's why I love them. I want to see the animal happy. I know I hate having problems with my own feet and it bothers me to see the animal suffer with the same problem so it's nice to see them helped.
Brilliant video and great job love these videos never thought I'll love watching these kind of videos.. I care for the cow's more than I thought I would...
Buy a diamond foot file. As in file with industrial diamond shards. Good stuff. But prevention is the best way to deal with it, buy some urea foot cream and smear your soles followed by covering with cotton socks weekly, nightly, or whatever frequency your soles need for preventing build-up. Using a file or cream too often compared to your skin needs will leave your skin too raw, do don't overdo it.
Greetings from finland 🙋♀️ first of all, I love your channel. I didn't know anything about this subject before but I'm happy to learn new things. Your voice and energy is so soothing and the way you treat animals is so heart warming 💕 so thank you for doing what you do! I do have a question though, has there been cases where all 4 legs had had some issues and is it possible to put blocks in every leg in such cases?
Wonderful work again Nate. Its always a pleasure. Got to watch some footage of where my son is working. He was being head cow with the heifers, they followed him where ever he went in the paddock, sniffing him and licking him and wanting to play.
I like to watch your hoof trimming even though I don't know anything about it. The first foot got a block on the good left-hoof but not on the injured right-hoof, so would that be an uneven load upon that foot? Would placing a block on the right-hoof give it protection from dirt getting into the repair and also provide even foot loading?
@mikel77, I think your question is whether the block change the height of the legs, which possibly a potential limb risk, right? My gut feeling It is probably not a big deal. like human, we rarely land both feet at the same time; a little difference on cow’s leg length is not a big deal.
Don’t humans usually sleep with their heads on desks? I do think that sleeping standing up would be the animal equivalent to desk sleeping in college/highs school
This may sound stupid, but I told my boyfriend how bad I feel for these cows! Obviously its a painful experience but they can't just say "hey my hoof hurts!" Poor things!
Hello. are you using bovi bond ?? what disc do you use for the grinder ?? I've been watching your videos for a while and never knew neglected cow hooves !! all your clients take care of their pets ??
Question on Cow #1 Does putting a shoe on only the one hoof not cause an imbalance of weight or stress on that side of the foot that will result in chronic pain, or is that the lesser of two evils in correcting an injury? As a former dairyman I enjoy your educational and entertaining bovine videos! S. Carolina
It does put extra weight on that claw but it’s the best way to heal the injured claw. As long as the block is applied correctly and the foot angle is good, we rarely see problems associated with the application of blocks.
Nate: Hopefully I don't put you to sleep like this heifer here Me: *3:30am trying desperately to get my brain to quiet so I can sleep* I would love to sleep rn haha
You do such a wonderful job with those ladies and gents. So careful. So precise. What is like to see, is your face when you’re working on a hoof. I bet you’re so focused. So serious. If you can make a video of your face and it’s expressions, that would be greatly appreciated and would satisfy my curiosity 😁 please and thank you
So i am thinking that the hoof gp removes way too much horn. He would have never left the claw with the old wear marks still showing. Graeme says that he charges $13 per cow. What do the foot trimmers in the usa charge?
That poor cow, with that leg stretched out it looks uncomfortable. I’m sure she felt better with the block on. But that leg looked like a stretch Armstrong toy 😄
Nate you are great but the angles are killing the buzz. I can barely see what your doing from 4 feet away and up and to the left. The perfect angle was when you were showing off the crack, dead on from just a foot away.
@@NatetheHoofGuy You are the best hoof guy on youtube and I am sure they arent monetizing you enough to deal with complaints. You do you. Thanks for the reply.

"Hopefully I don't put you to sleep.."
That's why I watch these videos, though. They are weirdly relaxing to fall asleep to.
I think it's his voice! I've watched a few other cow videos and his are the most soothing.
Yes!! Agree it really relaxes. Sneak a couple of videos when I'm at work and feel a little stressed out.
It's the opposite for me. I can't sleep because I'm watching too much of these lmao
Ive gotten in the habit of watching one video just as im relaxed in bed
💯
Between you and Hoof GP i feel like i've learned more about Cow Hooves then I thought I ever would
You never know when it could come in handy. 😂
Hoof GP? I think you mean I fall into you

Thank you for the compliments. Much appreciated!!
I LOVE your circular knife work. Wish all the other hoof trimmers would cut that way! 🔪
I have started to realize how cute These cows are haha
I just love to watch your videos. I could listen to your voice all day. Soothing. Love the trims. Great job. Very interesting.
Just great watching you Nate. The pleasure of knowing the care, and those cows feel safe with you. That is why they are so calm. 👍🙏🐮🐮
I have learned a lot from you. I may never use this information but as least if someone is taking about cows, I can follow along in the conversation with them.
I watch others on line and think you’re the best; you’re doing a thorough job but most importantly you’re work is caring.
what a great service you do for the beasts of the field, happy to support you and your channel
sensational work, I don't miss a video, I'm here in Brazil watching everything congratulations
👏👏👍👍
That’s awesome.
I am also from Brazil and I love watching his videos.
You are a Master with the cutting wheel Sir!
Love your knife work! You need me to sharpen
them up!
Am I the only person who's wondering why these videos are so addicting?
I know I do. I think it's for me to see the animal happy again. And people willing to help them and it's great to see the animal relieved of their problems. I think that's why I love them. I want to see the animal happy. I know I hate having problems with my own feet and it bothers me to see the animal suffer with the same problem so it's nice to see them helped.
I, too, am completely addicted having just started watching Nate's videos.
Same here. Also they way he explains is great and how the videos are edited.
You are not alone. 😉
Same here. I don’t understand the addiction to this. Somehow it’s strangely satisfying
I love the sleeping cows thats adorable
Brilliant video and great job love these videos never thought I'll love watching these kind of videos.. I care for the cow's more than I thought I would...
Thanks for sharing. You have a wonderful gift.
You are so gently with the girls. Your voice is so soothing.
I love these videos. They don't put me to sleep. I happen to be watching at the end of the day when I go to sleep, but it's not you.
When you took out all those stones from her foot.....I felt that.
There are times I see the trimmings and realize that an angle grinder and bovine blade would do wonders for my heels...
I would try a wood rasp first before going on to the power tools...
@@gedias1 I did... Now I have a piece of mirror smooth harden steel. 🤪

@@Liz_678 lucky you
I just got my Hilti angle grinder and bovine blade. Tested on my feet and now they are as smooth as 20 year old Scotch.
Thanks for explaining about the green wrap rolls - I've been wondering.
Good one...recycling the wrap rolls👍👍👍
I love how gentle. Wish we had you on my Family's 202 acre Hereford and Chicken farm.
Nate the precise guy 🙌
I thought that the used wrap rolls were there to protect their ankles, but the size adjustment thing makes a lot of sense :)
Excellent explenations! As always by the way 👍🏻🌺🌸🌺

Nate is simply thee best. I won't watch or listen (Nate's voice, man) to anyone else.😊
If you look at the Hoof gp, you KNOW this is the guy!! He lost $$$$ , he said so. Nate is a pro.
Wonderful work again Nate. Its always a pleasure. Got to watch some footage of where my son is working. He was being head cow with the heifers, they followed him where ever he went in the paddock, sniffing him and licking him and wanting to play.
Nate. I never thought I will watch Hoof videos with such interest. Thanks For all the Videos and Super love from me. (YOUR FAN FROM INDIA)
Another superb video Nate 👍
Wen Ur stressed out,watch the hoof guy,it's so satisfying,
If I need my hooves doing I know where to come for sure!

Would placing a block on the right-hoof give it protection from dirt getting into the repair and also provide even foot loading?
Watch more videos. The block is used to keep weight off the injured claw and allow healing to take place.
Yes the block is used to intentionally put all the weight on the good claw allowing the injured claw time to heal.
@mikel77, I think your question is whether the block change the height of the legs, which possibly a potential limb risk, right? My gut feeling It is probably not a big deal. like human, we rarely land both feet at the same time; a little difference on cow’s leg length is not a big deal.
Idk how you knew, but I'm always watching your vids to fall asleep to. You caught me!
Hello my friend hug from Spain
Great job as always
💚🐮💚🙏🏽 my new favorite thing is watching those sweet babies sleeping 😭😭😭😩😩😩
Its funny you said that about sleeping, i watch these to help me sleep XD
just wondering how often do u sharpen your tools?
Every day
Thank you.
Nice. I want more double soles. They are my favorite.
I’m so jealous of your lashes
HAPPY COWS!!
Thanks for explaining that the hoof can take a block.
The ol' 7-level screwdriver putting in some work.
Do cows always sleep with their necks bent all the way back to their flank? I’ve never seen that before.
Yes. Most of the time that’s how they sleep.
@@NatetheHoofGuy Don't they usually sleep standing up?
Don’t humans usually sleep with their heads on desks?

Nice work Nate 👍
Is winter a less busy time for trimmings?
Less foot problems but I still trim all winter. Except for the coldest days.
I LOVE THIS MAN
I don’t work with cows but I would EDC a hoof knife 😁
I AGREE 100 percent!!
And I think it's bad when a rock is stuck in my boot tread...
Do you get your blocks back? Or are they a one-time use
I don’t reuse them. Fresh blocks each time.
do cows usually go back to the same bed or do they just find one that is open and plop down there?
Hey Nate, just wondering how long you’ve been doing this and how you learned this profession
I think he said he has more than 10 years of experience, but i don’t recall it well
@@franromero129 thanks Fran!
18+ years and I trained with another experienced trimmer after graduating from college
@@NatetheHoofGuy this is a college degree? 2 yes of college? Sorry had no idea.
@@TheBooban No. I got college degree in ecology. Completely unrelated to hoof trimming. Just training with another hoof trimmer.
I thought those green things were old garden hoses. The way these cows are treated, does it make them produce more and better milk?
It does. Happy healthy cows produce more and of better quality.
Fascinating as always. I think you could have trimmed the dewclaws a bit tho😉😆
Found a new word today and that is Hoofinator lol
..great video, stay safe..
I love your videos, I do have one question though, are you a vet?
I am not. To much schooling for this guy. :)
Does the cow’s leg start to ache from being held so straight back like that for a while? I know mine would be.
This may sound stupid, but I told my boyfriend how bad I feel for these cows! Obviously its a painful experience but they can't just say "hey my hoof hurts!" Poor things!
Do you ever trim Scottish Highland cows or other types?
Hello. are you using bovi bond ?? what disc do you use for the grinder ?? I've been watching your videos for a while and never knew neglected cow hooves !! all your clients take care of their pets ??
I use Mini Moo glue for adhesive and the disk is a Rotoclip flat
@@NatetheHoofGuy what an adorable name for a glue, mini moo 🐮
@@NatetheHoofGuy The disc is nice, but it is not available in Poland. Greets from Poland.👍👍👍
Silly question. But why don't you wash out the foot before you begin working. It seems if you sprayed it with a hose it would knock out the lose dirt.
Not practical when working with electric power tools.
@@NatetheHoofGuy lol I never thought of that... amazing channel. 👍

I wish you would put some food coloring in that chlorhexidine. I like seeing the color of iodine.
Good job !!!!
Did you grow up on a Wisconsin dairy farm learning the trade of trimming cow hoofs? What school is required?
I did grow up on a dairy farm but I learned the trade from another professional trimmer after graduating college.
hey nate, what do u guys do with all those millions of little hoof-clippings?
Nothing. Though I’ve wondered many times if they could be of some use.
What's the difference between a legion and an ulcer ? Very interesting videos.
An ulcer is a type of lesion.
I wonder if a cow's hoof is harder or softer than coconut or cedar or balsa.
Ahhhh .. the cow 🐄 in the beginning of video has such a sweet face.. ♥️ .. like to take her home for a pet... 😊
Do you go to vet school or is this something that you learn just being a farmer and around cattle ?
do y'all wait for the block to fall off or do yall remove it
Be honest. Do you talk to them? I would. In fact, whenever one of them flinches I tend to say 'I know, sweetheart. I know.' And 'Poor dear. It's ok' 😂
What do you do with the stuff you pick out: A. Take it home and put it in a jar. B. Look for a trash can. C. Drop it on the floor?
Nate: Hopefully I don't put you to sleep like this heifer here
Me: *3:30am trying desperately to get my brain to quiet so I can sleep*
I would love to sleep rn haha
I have that same problem sometimes.
I am amazed at the blocks stay on their hoofs anyone know what he uses to stick them on
Looks like its probably Bovibond
Mini Moo Glue
Bovibond is good too. I used to use that but they had cartridge issues in the past. Mini Moo Glue sets up faster in cold temps so I’ve stuck with it.
@@NatetheHoofGuy they've changed their cartridge design and I believe those past issues are no more.

So if a rock doesn’t go all the way to the corium does it still hurt? Wouldn’t that be like a rock in someone’s dreadlocks?
Looks like peeling a white potato. Seriously, if I was a cow I would want you trimming my feet.

Ever tried hoof soup?
