What I love about your style, Nate, is that you take your job seriously: your cutting is precise & careful like a SURGEON. For all intents & purposes, this would be considered “surgery” if the patient were human....cutting (correctly) into & around live flesh requires skill & careful precision. Thank you for not rushing (as I’ve seen other hoof trimmers do).
I randomly had youtube suggest your videos, and I absolutely love them. I even tried watching another hoof trimmer, but I was honestly appalled at how rough they were. Their cow bled so much and flinched nonstop.. it made me genuinely appreciate how much care you show these girls. You're hands down the best ❤
I think you are explaining what you do for the cows' claws in a wonderful manner. All people understand the importance of your work. I am from Copenhagen, Denmark, and I love watching your videos.
I don’t even know anything about this and actually have nothing to do with this stuff, somehow I found your videos and it’s the most satisfying thing I’ve ever watched and now I’m addicted to Nate the hoof guy 😅😅
I love the differences between you, Graeme Parker and Aaron Lavoy, each of you has a unique vlog style which works well for you. Keep up the good work!
I know what you mean, if you're watching before bed, you go Graeme first because he's high energy and chatty, then Aaron who is still chatty, but a bit calmer, then Nate for the truly relaxing to unwind and sleep
Nate I love your videos so much. Your work is amazing, the footage scratches the itch in my brain, everything is to the point with no filler and you manage to be so educational
I once heard a beard champion talk about his beard, he said no amount of conditioner or shampoo, or oil will make a beard nice, it comes from good eating and GROWING healthy hair. Once its grown it's all over. I dont know why that seems relevant now ....
What I really like about the way you work is that you have a very daft touch while trimming hard or loose horn near the corium layer with your hooked knife. In addition to that you always make sure to spray out any and all interior layers and sections of the hoof especially when you start to see blood. I was watching another Midwestern hoof trimmer on TH-cam and he cut out a massive section of horn straight down to the corium layer which had a huge abscess. It was bleeding like all hell and he only cleaned the outer area with what looked like soapy water but he never actually cleaned the massive hole in the hoof that was bleeding. If it were you working on that particular hoof I know you would have sprayed a ton of Chlorhexidine inside the abscess before packing the hoof full of your anti digital-dermatitis powder. For the life of me I can’t remember the actual name of that topical powder you use. Basically what I’m trying to say is that you do a very thorough job in trimming and cleaning problematic areas of the hoof when you spot the first sign of foot Trauma. Some of these other hoof trimmers just don’t compare.
Can you show us more of the cows than their feet? They're cute and it would be lovely to see a shot of them leaving the crush at the end of your videos.
The Hoof GP has all that of that's what you're looking for. We all watch Nate cause he's not Grant. No offense to Grant I find his intros long and trimmings too short in time but that what you sound like you're looking for.
Nate your knife work is precise. You didn't knick any blood vessel. All other hoof trimmers videos things get gory when they deal with such cases. Keep continuing the good qork.
I am a Software Engineer but somehow I found these videos and I've been watching over and over again. It looks like a work of art to me. It's great to see a competent professional working with perfection in his own field. Keep doing your excellent job man! It is great!
Hi! Would be interesting to see before and after video of the cow walking freely when you're able. If you're involved in selecting, show and point out what to look for and reveal the change that comes just after treatment.
Wow i never thought I’d be watching these type of videos. I am in aww with what you do for these cows. Keep up the great work and I’ll continue watching 😊
That was a crazy big disconnect of horn! She's lucky you were there when you were! Have you ever used that "magic paste" that some other good trimmers use? Just curious about different types of products and their use in different parts of the world.
Hey Nate was wondering if we could get a history video. Of you and how you got into this field. Was your family hoof trimmers as well. Who taught you etc. etc...? Thanks great bid
I like your chanel better then another I can think if. No need for fancy preludes. Just gettin er done is what counts. Really great commentary like always.
I know you hear this all the time, but it's so awesome to see how careful you are when you're close to the corium. You obviously care about not hurting these cows. Well done. 👏
I say this as a city boy who just binge watched most of this channel but... judging from what Nate has said, the divots in the other hoof just look like natural shedding to me. They aren't holes that tunnel down into the corium. And that black spot near the tip of the toe is natural coloration. When the cow has black and white spots, their hooves actually have black spots too! I've noticed most of the cows he works on have them in the same place.
@@NatetheHoofGuy hmm Cool! 👊 Good for u but more importantly... Good for the girls bcuz ur quite good at this. Ive watched other trimmers n theyre not like u so, good for the cows😊
I’m curious, and I’m not sure if you have answered this in another video, but what would you do if there are two lesions on the same foot but on both claws? How would you be able to elevate it once you’ve addressed the lesions?
What do you do when there are lesions on both claws? I've have observed that like in this case, the supposed "good claw" looks compromised too. If you put a block on it then how does it heal?
I’m sure you’ve probably answered this in other videos, but is there something a farmer can do to help the hoof while they’re waiting for you or another hoof trimmer? As in: should we move them into softer ground, or a place to dry out some of the infected/bruised hoof, or spraying on some antibiotics onto the hoof? I ask because I’m reaching getting some cows to meet my family’s dairy needs, but doubt I’ll have the funds to get a crush immediately. And I’ve been primarily looking to prevention, like rubber floors and deep straw bedding. But it wasn’t until your video was in my recommendations that I realized I hadn’t given much thought to temporary care while I’m waiting for a professional. Also, we aren’t getting cows for at least 4 more years, but I’m trying to turn my classroom into a waiting room in the mean time.
Yes. Many farms have special needs pens that are bedded heavily with either straw or wood shavings that cows can be moved to. If you have cattle outdoors on pasture most of the time and keep up on their hoofcare you shouldn’t have many problems.
Just when I think I know what I’m looking at, I see something I’m not so sure about. I’ve seen this a few times now. It looks to me that the skin on the heel is red so I always think it’s got something wrong like an infection. So how irritated does it needs to look to check it to make sure it’s ok? 🥰❤️
bismillahiirohmaanirrohiim. I often see your 1 vlog, 2 or 3 times a week for 1 same vlog. repeat and repeat. specially the minutes you use the cutter to clean the debris of the cow's hoof. Wslm.
Hey Nate! What would happen if both feet would hypothetically need to be trimmed/cleaned down to the flesh? Or would you do one side, block the other and have to wait a few weeks to do the other side. I've always seen videos where they just block one side of the hoof and clean the other, but never one where they have to cut into both
In der Regel ist immer nur eine klaue betroffen von einen Defekt,das ausschließlich die Außenklaue.sind jedoch Mal beide klauen betroffen,ist die Heilung sehr schwierig,Mann könnte dann nur einen dicken Polsterverband über beide Klauenhälften machen und noch eventuell eine großen Plastikschuh über den ganzen Fuß machen.Die Kuh müsste dann möglichst auch auf Stroh (weich aufgestellt werden)
When speaking of the loose horn removal you said that under normal conditions it would work itself off but in the free stall setting you need to cut it off. What are the normal conditions ?
If you resolve the underlying problem they heal quickly. If they’re complicated by other problems they can take some time. This type would heal quickly.

Yeah other trimmers are pretty violent.
Other "Scottish" hoof trimmers....(with shitty music in videos)
@@dre4011 Agreed. I know of several people who have complained to the RSPCA about the "Scottish" guy...

You are by far the best hoof trimmer channel. Love you watch your skill and am drawn in by you calm demeanor. Perfect
Thanks Diana. I appreciate it!!
Lol I guess I should have reread that before posting, some spelling and grammar errors.. Still love your channel best.
I greatly appreciate fact that you don't play some sappy music over your work. I enjoy the sounds of you working!
Wowza!! That poor girl had to be hurtin on that. Amazing job as always!! She will be back in no time.
Yes, imagine that infection had gone on another week or two!
That would make a grown man cry!

A good job, as always. You take your time so as to do it right and not cause further injury.
Nate is there a different ‘draw’ feeling on your knife felt when removing the non viable horn verses ‘new’ horn?
Yes especially on drier hooves.
Hi!
Would be interesting to see before and after video of the cow walking freely when you're able.

That was a crazy big disconnect of horn! She's lucky you were there when you were! Have you ever used that "magic paste" that some other good trimmers use? Just curious about different types of products and their use in different parts of the world.
I don’t. Just salicylic acid for me.
I love cows this is so satisfying to watch.
Please show the cow when done so beautiful.
What's that? Nate the Hoof Guy is doing knife work?

Awesome explanation of her issues
Also, can crushed aspirin count for enough salicylic acid? I know people use it for pimples.
When he was explaining what the new hoof feels like I was waiting for a Wisconsin cheese example 🤣🤣......
Some Shullsburg munster or Colby jack lol
A little softer than Munster. 😆
@@NatetheHoofGuy now I completely understand 🤣

Great help to the poor cow 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰👍👍👍

How’s it going ones again my compadre and much love go’s out to you and your family from LAS VEGAS NEVADA
Great video Nate.
I really wanted a close up during that knife work. Are you going to hire a cameraman with your TH-cam riches soon?
It’s crossed my mind more than once. We’ll see what this next year brings. 🤙
He needs an apprentice that can double as a camera person.
Super interesting again. Thank you for posting.
Another awesome video! Do vets ever trim hooves too, or does the profession remain pretty separated from veterinary medicine?
They do but we have better equipment to handle the cows and far more experience working on feet so they refer most of the hoof work to us.
Job well Nate, question have you had to wrap both hooves or is it typically one or the other on the same foot.
Usually only one.
Again, another awesome video!
Thanks Rebecca!!
Great work Nate!🙏🏼♥️👋🏼🇨🇦
The other hoof didn’t look in that great of shape?

Almost to 50k subs great content

Fine work in this one Nate.
If you could suggest to farmers which stalling type to use, would you recommend free-stall, tie-stall, or something else?
Pasture most of the time with sand free stalls would be ideal feet wise.
Can you do a video about the equipment and materials you use and how to maintain them ?

Great job. Poor cow with 2 sores on one foot.
Good job nate
What do you do if both claws on one foot are like this?
No Nate, you will not see us but we will see parts of you though. Lol 🤪
thank you for sharing
What causes cows to have so many foot problems?
You should get a battery power Makita brushless grinder
When speaking of the loose horn removal you said that under normal conditions it would work itself off but in the free stall setting you need to cut it off. What are the normal conditions ?
In a pasture setting hoof sheds off naturally. In a freestall setting feet tend to stay wetter so the hoof doesn’t shed properly.
Does the block stay on until the next time you treat her or does it fall off over time?
If they don’t fall off I remove them
Lovely stuff.
How long on average does it take for an ulcer to heal?
If you resolve the underlying problem they heal quickly. If they’re complicated by other problems they can take some time. This type would heal quickly.
