I like how careful you are when you let that mechanism grab the cow's foot. You even put a cushion between the hoof and the metal and you go slow, so the foot is not yanked so brutally. Greetings from Germany.
Aww, I didn't know you had a soft spot for cows.
The "cushion" is more of a spacer to make sure the foot is snug and secure. Cushioning is a side effect, but both reasons involve comfort. Not sure which "slow" you're talking about. If you're talking about lifting the foot up, that's the normal speed of the hydraulics on that machine. If you're talking about the grinder, there wouldn't be any yanking. If you're talking about the knife work, also, yanking isn't much of an issue.
@@naran_naran I do, just like Gary Larson. ^^
I love how this cow took her first two steps like it was gonna hurt, had that whole "OWOWOwww...ooh!" body language between the first step on the tender foot compared to the next.
"Owowowow... wait, nevermind."
I wanna watch a vid where he shows the result of this and take off the block.
Well spotted. That was heartwarming.
@Tyrone Actually, no, I think it's just a Human sound we make, like how deaf and blind people still laugh and smile the same as anyone else, even if they have never heard or seen one.
@@WDeranged Thank you
Idk why but others don’t seem as gentle as when I watch you, I don’t feel scared for the animals at all when I watch your vids!
yeah when i watch him i just get the feeling of "this guy knows what he's doing"
yeah that's what i was thinking when yt recommended me "the cow gp" or whatever his name is. Nate is so precise and careful and the scottish dude is just yanking at the hoofs and he's cutting at the live tissue all the time when it's unecessary
@@BaNaNaCeZeT Happy Hoof something is really terrible to watch. Hoof GP seems ok in comparison.
@@Mobin92 Don't even tell me about it! :D
@@BaNaNaCeZeT I'm conflicted he seems to care about cows and is gentle in many regards, but hoof gp really does seem to make them bleed often. I'm a layman and I often can just feel when he's about to make them bleed
You took the main immobilizer off, yet she calmly allowed you to finish caring for her foot! You're amazingly gentle and explain so much -- thank you on behalf of your patients and this fascinated viewer.
I bet the cows love to see Nate. You can almost feel the relief for them.
Awesome videos and keep up the good work.
"Distinct smell" has got to be the most charitable description of what digital dermatitis smells like
Indeed.
@PdrMarc yea I heard dog really love it and that it’s a great snack for em. Pretty sure it’s cause it contains some gelatin like chemical and makes it a little sweet and stuff. Sorry you had to smell something so bad
They are pure protein for dogs
🤣🤣🤣
@PdrMarc I think it’s an instinct to mask their scent for hunting purposes. Ingesting strong smelling things also alters the scent as well as rolling around in it
I didn’t even know I’d be interested in this, haha TH-cam getting to me on a subconscious level lol
TH-cam got me as well
There's something so soothing about seeing a problem and doing something physical and immediate to resolve at least mitigate the issue. Even better if it helps relieve suffering ( animal or human) and you know you're catching a problem before it turns into a disaster. I think our brains instantly recognize this kinda thing as productive and good. (I say all this as someone also trying to figure out how I ended up in this TH-cam rabbit hole)
I mean everyone is interested in this haha
Yo mama got you better!
Ditto - stumbled upon it and now I’m kinda addicted
Me, walking with my friend (we're both born and grew up in a town), seeing cow with crossed legs: 'Oh, this poor cow needs some pedicure job to be done!'
My friend: 'How the hell you can tell!? You never lived in the countryside!'
Me, knowing that arcane knowledge from Nate: *smiling like a boss*
I'm confused. You don't live in the same country? What does that have to do with farm animals?
@@animowany111
"The country" is American slang for sparsely populated places and rural areas, where our livestock are most commonly found. The OP and their friend probably live in a city or a suburb, so they don't spend a lot of time on a farm.
@@animowany111 Sorry, my mistake, should have been 'countryside', corrected :)
@@grass7864 I'm sorry, I'm not a native speaker, thank you for explaining as I was very confused by the term. I only earlier heard of the word "country" as in nations.
@@animowany111
I assumed as much. I'm happy to answer an honest question. Take care!
Nate the hoof healer, respected and praised by all Tauren.
She gave you that final look like; “Am I okay to go? And Man, this is sooo much better!!” Great, caring work Nate! Many Blessings send to you (and the Bovine family) from Canada...🙏🏼🍀♥️👋🏼🇨🇦
Hi Nate. You are such a good teacher. I appreciate that you don’t just bully your way into the wound, you take it gentle and accurate. My dad used to say that your olfactory sense plays an important role in wound care. And dropping things on the floor ... 🥴. Thanks for the video. 🇨🇦
I just got finished watching a blood letting on another channel. I had to unsubscribe. Your blade work is unmatched. I know your going to have a slip every once in a great while, but I can truly tell you are trying your darndest to not inflict pain on those girls. Thank you for the incredible content! And continue to take your sweet time!
Tom R.
@PdrMarc That's horrible! 😭💔
i've only worked on dogs and cats, and i've quicked a dog twice over the years. i sucks and i always felt awful. i always keep my styptic pencil on hand just in case. i think it just takes patience to make sure you don't quick the animal, and the experience helps you trim faster with confidence.
I have only seen one other person treat Hooves, and the guy was *okay* at what he did, but he still nipped the horse and drew blood. Based on that in-person experience, Nate is definitely the superior trimmer. Nippers and one hoof are different than a scraper blade and two toes, to be fair, so take this opinion with a grain of salt.
Happy Feet hoof care was awful. Streams of blood...he changed his ch name because people got after him for it &seems to've stopped posting. Doubt he's stopped cutting their feet, like he did.
@@leiatyndall8648 Wow! That's crazy! I don't know why anyone would hire him. I know a lot of people also watch The Hoof GP. Personally I think he stinks. Goes fast, seems haphazard, knife work where he doesn't need it, removes the outside hoof wall, lets the hoof keep bleeding and doesn't clean it right away, etc. And I've only watched 2 videos of his but he made a cow jump and dance because he hurt it. It's rare Nate makes a cow flinch, let alone move like crazy like that guy did. He's horrible. Ugh!
Im surprised the cows don’t get scared when they go inside the leg holder machine thingy. It’s like they really trust you:)
You explain things really well love how gentle you are with the cows keep up the great work
🤣
I agree. His knowledge, the way he treat animals and very calming voice makes me trust him.
Had to stop working and watch! Love how gentle you are with the cows, just taking the time to carefully pare away the loose horn and not inflict any more pain than absolutely necessary. I have grown up with cows and horses and this is just fascinating to me. Great job! Looking forward to the next one!
lol me seeing a cow crossing their legs in a field: "something' wrong with that there cow bud?"
Farmer: What?
Me, nodding as if I know my stuff: Yeah better check 'er inside claw there bud.
Me too 🤣🤣
Yep, peanut gallery here strongly advise the same! 🤣🤣❤️
😂
Hahaha
if the farmer questions it you know where to refer them to.
Nate: Whats wrong Cow?
Cow: 🤚🖐️🤞👈🤏✊
It is like they knew straight away you are here to help them. They're so calm before and during procedure 🙂Just wow 😊
Man you make that knife work look smooth like you're cutting butter. Your arm strength must be incredible
Excellent tool care too. Sharp knives that cut that well are far safer to cut with and are less risky.
That hoof is butter isn't it?
To me, when slicing at the hoof with the hoof knife, the appearance always appears to be like slicing a potato.
Love the way you explain the issues and symptoms to us semi-pro hoof trimmers!! Still waiting for that lame cow to come walking down the street in our subdivision so I can help her! Have a great day Nate!
Or a reindeer 🦌 😁
I agree, its definitly digital dermitis. I have never toched a hoof, but since watching your videos i know my stuff.
TomTheDutchy, looks like you have missed your calling. You should become a hoof guy.
I feel like a handful of people, including me just recently found out about this channel.
Another hoof channel popped up and I started to watch it thinking it was you. I quickly realized it wasn’t you when the guy was just hacking away at the infected hoof. I couldn’t watch it, I watch you because of the care you take. You’re careful and you actually try to be gentle and not hurt the already painful hoof.
You have an udderly wonderful cowside manner. I as so glad the pain for her is gone. GREAT WORK, thank you!
You are so gentle and careful while working, by far the best I found here on TH-cam!
You are a blessing to both the animals you care for and the farmers/ranchers you provide this service to.
Can you do a video talking about how you got into this career field and where you learned your hoof cleaning/trimming skills?
Was so excited when I saw her feet were crossed because I remembered the previous video you did. Great video as always.
She looks so much better. She seemed to pause to say thank you when you let her ouf😁
Either that, or she was giving him the side eye to make sure he doesn't follow her.
T ex ex ex ex ex ex ex in in I'm in ok ok ok ok
I agreed. She did thank for the care and service. One happy cow again 😀
Was watching something on utube the other day to deal with large farming operations. The had a hoof person in. Have to say seeing the cows tipped on their sides with all four feet tied down did not impress me. The cows were struggling and very uncomfortable looking. Love the way you do your work....happy cows equal good production
SO satisfying to watch you clean out a lesion! I love it. Thank you!
It just popped up in my feed and now I can't stop watching
My friends are always talking about the shows they're watching on Netflix, when someone asks me what I've been watching lately.....um, cow hoof videos, lots of cow hoof videos...and I love them!
.. My Hand is Raised "I-See-It" .. Left-Front-Leg is the problem leg .. You do Wonderful Work helping these cattle with their feet ..
Good Afternoon Nate, I have to say it's extremely nice seeing you in the videos along with the voice. At first I thought cow was just standing it was hard to notice the cross leg. It could of been just me. Soon as I saw the hoof knew kinda what needed to be done. Sorry had to laugh about you dropping the gauze. I'm sure Miss Cow will be fine in no time. Stay safe and warm. Have a fabulous day.
She wanted to cross the legs those first few steps out of the crush then thought, "hmmm... feels different".
You had me thinking she was throwing up gang signs 😂
Absolutely fascinating. Got here by accident... It never occurred to me that cows would need hoof care, but of course they do. I did think she was standing kind of funny and thought abscess or rock or nail. I really loved watching your work. Your skill and care are obvious, and that look she gave you was pretty neat. Thanks for the new TH-cam rabbit hole to go down!
Your welcome. I’m glad you stumbled across it.
@@NatetheHoofGuy I am, too! I love learning and this was very educational. Wow. So cool!
I must say Nate having watched both yourself and the hoof GP. You are both professional in your approach 👍🏻👍🏻. I have watched another hoof trimmer who really isn’t he’s a butcher.. your great to watch and long may you and Grahame continue in your profession
Thanks 👍
I had to go back and see how she was standing once you told us. Experience made you spot it right away!!! 🧐. So glad you could help her💕
Cows are very beautiful animals, very clever and very compassionate, cows do cry, when they're stressed , sad or ill, they shed tears, cow mommas love and defend their offspring to death. Cows are very missunderstood. If you share your everyday life with one of this animals you're blessed. And you should always watch towards their wellbeing. Humans by design are made to help our fellow humans and animals when in need. isn't that too far obvious at this point? #VALUELIFEABOVEEVERYTHING
I was wondering what the percentage of hooves need more than a general trim? Herds tend to be large. Is there a seasonal difference as well?
It varies but if you averaged all my farms together about 2% of feet need extra treatment. Hooves are better in winter as cows tolerate the cold better than the heat.
Nate the Hoof Guy I would never have thought they would have better in the winter
A lot of the problems cows have result from too much time on their feet. In the hot months they stand more to dissipate heat which results in more foot problems. In the winter they’re much more comfortable and rest more.
@@NatetheHoofGuy Makes sense why dairy farming is so popular up north!
I'm not even interested in Cows, but this channel and these videos are very interesting.
Got home from a VERY long day and BAM! A new Nate the Hoof Guy video! What a great end to the day!
Your videos and narration are completely relaxing! Thank you for sharing.
Really appreciate your wearing ear protection. Good example. Enjoy the way you narrate the video and in person discussion. The knowledge you have is remarkable. How long have you been doing this profession?
Thank you. Almost 19 years.
What is the reasoning behind the ear protection?
@@jacquecaeser9078 is it super loud on farms?
Yeah. So much better feeling for the cow - to be sure. I appreciate your kind and gentle touch with your cows. Makes watching enjoyable and educational. I still cringe sometimes but all in all - Great job. 💪🐄🐄😎👍
These videos help me go right to sleep but in a good way! It’s so relaxing to watch and your voice is soothing ☺️
I wan't to thank you for your efforts. I'm from SoCal and I totally enjoy watching your videos. Please don't ever think your experience isn't worth something. Don't worry about the Scottish dude, he isn't worth it, truly!
It’s so relaxing to sit for hours and watch videos of cows getting their feet worked on😌😌🤣
As always, so meticulous and gentle! I love getting notifications that a new video has been uploaded! Just wish there were many many more 😂
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Every day I learn something new.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
Keep up the good work.
I just came from a different guys channel who do this as well and omg when I say I flinched and said omg no so many times.. mind u he made the cow better but when the cow was he pain he didnt stop and just kept doing what he was doing. I understand that sometimes no matter what u do it will hurt them but he never tried any other way. You do what u do but if you see it hurts the cows you don't continue to dig at that one spot. You go around and get everything off inorder to get to that part without harming the cow constantly. He just went at it with all force. You take your time and the cows needs come above doing it the fastest way. He fixed the hoof no doubt. He just did it by continously scrapping the hurt part and then after he got to the bottom of the area he would do everything around. The poor cow just jumped and flinched every second.
Needless to say I respect you and what you do. You treat these cows with as much care as you possibly can and do everything to make if so you don't hurt them during the process. Again obviously there are going to be times that you can prevent the pain but you try. That's what matters.
The fact that you tube recommended one of your videos and I have no spent over an hour addicted to all your videos. In the hour and such I’ve watched you .. you have gained a whole 2,000 subscribers because you was at 201k when I subscribed and i seen it go to 202k and now we’re at 203k lol so apparently you have a TON of people all on your videos tonight 😅❤️
And a whole two days later he's at 237k subs. Crazy growth. Happy for him though
Best hoof channel by far. God bless u Nate
The best explanatory hoof guy on the net without question 👏🐄🥇
You do a good job showing the sensitivity. Some channels just fast forward or leave out.
Fantastic video!! Thank you for sharing this!
You are defo my fav hoof guy! I've seen others but you are really passionate and doing it for the animals. God bless!
Must have positive feedback on your face. Love the videos. You have a wonderfully calm voice.
😂. That’s an open question. 😂
Yes, very calm voice
This shouldn’t be so fascinating, but it is!
This is more addicting then the pimple popper now I got to watch each 🐄 video
I’ve learned a lot from watching these videos. I recognized the signs and was able to identify which hoof and which claw of that foot. I’m amazed.
Me starting at 6am, man I can’t stay up till 3 am watching cow hoof videos, I am going to sleep tonight.
Me at 230am that night, what is that a rock or just dirt in the hoof
Why can’t I stop watching these videos!!! Lmao I’m addicted 😩
Great vid Nate did recognise it from the last one you showed but couldn’t remember what it was called ice to see her walking ok well done Nate🇬🇧
Nice work, good man. Thanks for relieving her pain.
To say that I am intrigued, Nate, is to say the very least, indeed!
And I wonder just how much the “tools of the trade” have actually changed over the past 3k~3.5k years. Would you happen to have any information about that? 🤓
Also, sir, have you ever filmed and posted a stand-alone episode that focused solely, (bad🙄puns!), on your instruments and the differences for how each of them are utilized to do its particular work?
I have shared a couple of your videos with friends of mine who are graduates of CalPoly-SLO’s Animal Husbandry & Vet Tech Certification Programme and they’ve goaded me into asking these questions. (As you can tell, I put up a great fight!🤓)
I, well, *We patiently await your reply, sir.
Please continue posting your amazing materials, Nate, and thank you!
I'm probably getting this story wrong but i remember learning in my highschool art class about ancient cave paintings, and there was a painting of a bull with it's front legs crossed and a person with their front legs crossed standing in front of it. Eventually, it was found out that the crossed legs were supposed to symbolize something akin to death and religion, so it's cool for me to see this idea of the bull with the crossed legs reflected in this cow
Poor little thing....thank goodness for folks like you! 🙌❤👍
TH-cam recommendations work in mysterious ways... But it was interesting and I watched the whole video. So, it might know more about me than myself.
Yes! Very good care and I’m sure she’s grateful 👍🏼
Fascinating! I had no idea. Thanks for reaching me something.
I don't have a cow but I like your way of treating cow's hoof.......love from India
Fantastic education and presentation, sir 👌👍 Thank you!
That was fun to guess! A great follow-up to the cross-legged cow video!
I think this is the first time I've seen your face! So cute! You do such a good job with the cows.
I appreciate your technical explanations. It it mainly dairy cows u deal with? Do you have a guesstimate of what % cows get hoof problems? Do all of then need a trim? Do steers who roam the prairie need as much tending to their hooves as dairy cows? I'm a retired RN.
Yes primarily dairy cows. Less than 10% will develop foot problems on my farms. Animals on pasture need less trimming because the shed naturally. Most cows will get trimmed 1-3 times per year.
You and the Hoof GP guy need to host an international conference on cow hooves.
love how the cow at the end was like AHHH- oh! :D
Everyone: let's invent a shoes for the cows so they don't have to suffer from this.
Nate the hoof guy: i kinda like having a jobb so...
How does he know how far not to go
@@kenben6240 skills and experience
I can't stop watching you do such a great job and I just love seeing them get better and heal but really how often do the cows get these sores?
I dont know if I'm depressed or bored out of my mind but I sure do love watching these videos😄
The cow was like: “moo moo”
I was like: “meowing meow”
And we became friends
Nice work Nate 👍
Im from SO CAL, nothing to do with farming or animals, but gees nate, these videos are sooooo calming brother. I know more about hoofs than i know about making dinner! So intriguing!!! Supreme respect to your craft 🌴🌴🌴
Great job Nate.
You work pretty gently, really nice to see.
Great video! Thank you
Another brilliant video Nate, I guessed the wrong hoof!
It was a little tricky. She switched her feet up between the two camera angles which I didn’t notice at the time.
Do you have any kind of xylocain spray , if they are in a lot of pain?
Do cows regularly get all their hooves trimmed, or is it only when there is a problem? Thanks for explaining things.
I believe they have to get them trimmed, like horses. They basically walk on toenails and if they dont get trimmed, it can cause pain
Depends on the environment the cow is in. Nate has a viseo about why wild and organic/pasture cattle need less trimming than these cattle.
learning more every video
keep posting your videos they are good
Wonderful video, I would love to see a follow up.
Your work it's so clean :o
I like your approach you seem to care about the animal .
youtube just recommended one of this kind of video, and im into it.
I love your videos. Is there any way you can get closer and more in focus to the work when filming?
Whoa, we get to see the Professor!
love your work, the cows do too god bless
Ah, I always thought wood vs rubber was more about longevity. You ever have a cow throw that block almost immediately?
Not very often
