I really don’t know what I’ve been watching to compel TH-cam’s algorithm to recommend these hoof trimming videos to me but I’ve been binging your videos for past 24 hours! Really fascinating stuff, you seem to really care for the animals and the cows are so cute!
Why do I watch so many hoof trimming videos?!?! The Hoof GP reels you in, you then turn Midwestern Hoof Trimmer to keep getting that fix, and then on to Nate the Hoof Guy for the really deep education. You guys have this all figured out to get people addicted to this stuff.
I'm there with you! S&S Horseshoeing is really good. He's in 4th year vet school and doesn't post too much. He has two years of videos of Pinto Bean's recovery from hoof surgery. He's a really special person.
I think that's unfair. Nate is enjoyable to watch on his own merits, and hoof trimming is merely his medium of exchange. I'd probably listen to him explain cleaning a fish for eating, or explain how to rebind a book. He's the Morgan Freeman of Hoof Guys. He's like if zefrank1 went out of his way to trim hooves and work with his hands, instead of writing jokes, but still puts it online and narrates the hell out of it. I'm just saying, I came for the hoof trims, and stayed for the explanations and happy cows that don't walk with a limp, anymore. It's perfect satisfaction on so many levels, like to my roommate who loves Dr. Pimple Popper types of content.
@@zerosumgame5700 Don't get me wrong I like Nate and enjoy watching and listening to him help those poor cows too, he's a good smart man and I'm glad there's people like him who care a lot about fixing the cows feet so they're not walking around in pain.
I feel like it is appropriate to do a wrap if you really want to do a good job for the animal you're helping. So I agree it's great to see him wrap them up.
It’s amazing that before TH-cam or the internet I knew nothing of the type of care and jobs that farmer’s and those in that sort of field did. I really appreciate your hard work for caring for these animals.
Somehow, I went from binge-watching ghosts caught on camera on Nuke’s Top 5 channel to mystical pixie hunting on Erwin Saunders channel, to hoof trimming on Nate the Hoof Guy’s channel??? Not complaining. I’m happy I stumbled upon this content because it gives me satisfaction when Nate cleans and treats a cow’s hooves. The process is calming and so is his voice. Raise your hand if you suffer from anxiety and feel better after watching a hoof trimming video! 🙋🏽♀️
Huh, there's a paranormal, erwin, hoof video pipeline? One day I wanna look at algorithm data like this, see the insane links the robots worked out exist in our brains 🤣
I don’t just watch these videos because they’re satisfying, but also because they’re educational. I love hearing Nate’s theories while watching him work. He really does take his time & is very meticulous about his cuts. As opposed to other channels I’ve watched. Btw I’ve never been into cows, I’m actually from the city lol. Great content!
Are you his wife? LOL...I see his channel, I watch it(I don't know why, but I like it). I ALSO like the Scottish guy, but EVERY-SINGLE-TIME I've read comments, I've seen you in there with that "as opposed to other channels," and it's USUALLY as opposed to other bigger channels who don't care about the cow! So if this the way he pays for your School, do you have the HoofGP that bad, what? And I know the Midwest guy. Crossed paths a few times as I have an office in his area(albeit a small one) but...man, it's really a Nate vs...whatever the HoofGP's real name is-battle, right?
Me, a non farmer: Oh, how cute! That cow is crossing her front legs like a classy, proper lady! Nate the hoof guy: if she's crossing her front legs she's in excruciating pain in the world of cow Me: shocked Pikachu face
And you're a professional hoof trimmer? Did you know that every step you take on grass, in the water, etc...you're killing innocent insects, animals, ,etc...? If you're a non-meat eater that's fine but you probably shouldn't make unfounded comments to people that have years of experience working with animals, went to school for their trade and actually know if an animal is in pain or not. Nate is treating these girls to ALLEVIATE their pain, not cause it. If you've ever had a broken bone in your body and had to have a physician or surgeon set that bone, I bet you felt some pain but he was only trying to help you, just like Nate is. Not everything in life can be done without pain. Think before you make a negative comment.
Fine. After watching 4 of these I'm subscribing. Not sure how I ended up here and every cow I have ever approached has literally run from me, but this is a little fascinating.
@@lordot8665 so what you're saying is that you're so much of a coward that you run from...a color.. Ok... not sure if I'd have bragged about being a giant p*say, but you do you pumpkin
@@lordot8665 why the hell are you so upset about a comment just showing support for a channel we all like? you’re just causing unnecessary conflict than nobody enjoys. also, I don’t recall anyone asking you about what you thought about dyed hair, it wasn’t even mentioned originally. it’s really none of your business what other people want to do with themselves, I don’t know why you think you have a say in that.
This is the video where I can see how gentle you are. I can see the bleeding, and I can see that the cuts are shallow, since there isn't big, fleshy lump to indicate where to cut deeper. I've seen people reach similar kinds of "This is a bit hard to work with" situations when trying to help someone else, and they just give up when it starts bleeding and say "This is gonna hurt" before going medieval on the situation. You, with your shallow and patient cuts, are still worried about doing *more* damage when other people get their toes wet, so to speak, and then just dive in. I won't even check out other Hoof Trimmers because I can tell by thumbnail and clickbait titles that they are in it just for the money, another paycheck with a TH-cam side hustle. I curate my Animal Rescue videos in a similar way, if I see symptoms of poor treatment, a lack of concern for an animal's mental wellbeing, or an excessive amount of begging for money to "Save all these (Insert 3 terrible adjectives) animals". Viktor Larkhill was one of those ones who was constantly begging for money, but the animals in his care were going weeks between videos without any actual footage of treatments or changes in conditions, just random scenes of the animal at a vet, then about 2 minutes of him going on and on about how much money he needs. I trusted my gut and looked into him, and sure enough, dozens of webpages featuring negative coverage, allegations of lackluster treatment or intentional withholding of treatments for more views, and a name change to escape prior bad publicity. A little blood isn't a sure sign of mishandling or bad treatment, it happens to people in treatment, too, but ignoring it entirely is a bad sign on the person doing the work of healing. Trying to take advantage of it for further profit with no additional work is just a sign of base greed. I see your hands change their strokes when the red starts showing, and I've seen your thumbnails as merely attention grabbing, instead of shock value clickbait. I think this is the last time I plan on bringing this up for a while, but this video is the first I've seen with any visibly accumulating blood, meaning it's the first time I've seen you change your cuts to account for it. Thank you for doing your job for a bit more than just Payday, I really appreciate the tender hands you offer these animals, as a viewer.
Who's channel is going Medieval on cow's feet? I've never seen anyone hurt an animal yet and I've watched tons of videos of hoof trimmers. I'm curious who you have watched and have seen this happen.
I am a city slicker who somehow came across your channel. I am now stuck watching all your videos. Don’t know why, but it brings great satisfaction watching you work to bring relief to these beautiful animals. What a wonderful job.
I was thinking the same thing when watching this video. Hoof GP is great, but a bit overproduced. I always skip the insufferable intro, and if I have to hear that lame "say you won't go" song one more time, I'm gonna have ulcers in my ears.
Yes! Our dairy cows in southern Louisiana spent all except an hour a day on pasture or on the paths to pasture and never had these issues, even during mucky, muddy times. In the far north this is not possible.
I love your videos! I second what everyone else said about your kindness, carefulness and lack of click baiting crap. You just do the work, watch what you're doing so as to not cause more pain, and educate us at the same time. Thank you!
I am a retired (75yrs old) over-the-raod owner operator who, as a kid, grew up hand milking our two family cows up to high school age. I had no idea cows could develop such hoof problems as the ones you work on. Our cows were let into the pasture after we milked them. Your videos are very interesting and satisfying to watch.
I appreciate that you gave your opinion on what may cause these ulcers. Adding your expert data points from your wealth of experience should be of value to those studying and researching the topic.
I always get so nervous watching these. I always think that a nerve or some is gonna get hit. Not even sure why TH-cam thought this is something I need to be watching but I'm here now. And surprisingly enjoying myself
Thanks Nate, great teaching throughout this ulcerated hoof so much overgrowth soul. I learn so much from you, it’s so interesting. These gals must feel so much relief. Good job, thanks for sharing. Cheers
Now I’m sure that you won’t ever see this comment, but still - could the sole ulcers on front feet on pasture cows be more likely because of the way they have to distribute weight to eat? Free stall cows have either the trough or ground either slightly raised or even ground - while pasture cows surely have various terrain differences, meaning that they sometimes have to bend over “downhill” to feed, putting alot more preassure on the front feet. Could that possibly be the cause?
I don’t trim bovines. However I am a professional horse trainer, certified riding instructor, and trim my own horses (along with the occasional client horse). Every horse I have owned has been kept on dry lots/track systems instead of grass pasture. In the twenty years I’ve had horses I have only had one abscess. It was in a horse I had just bought. He got an abscess about two weeks after I brought him home. I’m not savvy enough to put together a study of the magnitude I think it needs to be, but I suspect that equines with access to higher sugar content are more susceptible to hoof issues. I agree the metabolic changes have a lot to do with the quality of their hooves.
There’s really too many things to list that can affect a cow from the time she’s goes dry to the time she calves. Improper diet, overcrowding, insufficient feed intake during the dry period, being too fat… all these can trigger metabolic bell in a cow that can lead to much worse than foot problems.
Wow! That is one sharp knife! I appreciate that you speed up the grinding. It gives us more time to watch your knife work. Also appreciate how well you describe what you're doing. I'll never even touch a cow, but I watch you because you do such good work.
I think you're right about the excess horn growth being a symptom, especially as, as you pointed out, you treat it by making the healthy claw take all the weight. Coming from the view point of a microbiologist, I believe your theories about the ulcer formation are really sound, too. Gastric ulcers in humans are generally caused by bacteria called H. pylori that gain a foothold when the human is compromised in someway, often by stress, certain drugs or food-habits, or illnesses. I would not be surprised if, like you said, some metabolic factor play a role that influence the formation of an ulcer in a hoof. Perhaps even several factors together, like also coinciding with calving time or changes in the estrous cycle, stress of changing pasture location or feed, as in this case having to compensate for a different sore foot and already having an activated immune response, or some other combination could be contributing and causing an ulcer to form. Very interesting to hear about! I am very impressed by your knowledge and your kindness and care towards all the animals you handle, you have my deepest respect for that! Thank you kindly for sharing it!😊
@@pumperswife2248 Hoof gp is all clickbait titles and 2/3rds music and filler to optimize the algorithm. Nate has honest titles, speaks plainly, and is all content and no filler
I first started watching hoof trimming thanks to hoof gp. I do love his trims too but lately too many sponsored ads. Too much talking not enough trimming 😂 i also understand that it’s his income revenue now that he has become more popular hence why I much prefer Nate these days!
Wow never thought I’d be watching hoof trimming it all started when it popped up for a suggested watch n I been hooked ever since your doing a great job
Nate the hoof guys take his time , he cleans the wounds he trims , it's like going into surgery , and voice is off the chain! It is soothing and mentally relaxing. Those cows feel, "great"!!!
I think it's amazing that you're also learning through firsthand experience that there are most likely other variables aside from hard ground that are causing ulcers I hope you write down or document your notes/findings to help other cow guys :)
I would like to say thank you for sharing these videos they are so enlightening I can watch you work your magic on the cows all day! You sir are a true professional.
I'm Just glad to see that you are helping these magnificent Bovines. 🐄 Some Hoof Men do not clean as much as you do. I'm glad that you do, even if helps minimally... I just seem to be the right thing to do. Good Job Mr. Nate Man...🤜🤛👍👍🐄🐄🐄

How the hell did I end up in his hypnotic channel?
Do you think the cow would jump up and down with excitement if he said "good job"? Pretty sure they wouldn't know wtf he is saying, maybe because....idk....it's a cow
Love the video just a thing about micro nutrients , when we swing towards winter we find including zinc in the diet hardens the hoof plus copper seems to help with dermatitis 🤠🇦🇺
I love that you no there's a problem with the hoof just by taking a layer or two off. And for me its the fact you help make cows more comfortable even though it looks sore and we sit here wincing you take care of them. ❤
Why am I watching a film about fixing an animal's hoof? Because it's so interesting. Because it feels good seeing the cow helped. Because the hoof guy is very talented. Because I love the guy's voice.
I love how your videos are so informative and you are providing lessons upon what’s happening with a cow or cattle’s feet and how we need to take measures to properly care for and treat not only the cows, but their feet to ensure that their environment is conducive to ensuring that they are well , comfortable and stay in good health.. PS…it’s ALSO SO satisfying to see that lovely nice creamy fresh horn and to see that their hoof issues are dealt with to make them more comfortable. A cow in pain, is stressed and it affects her quality of life and her productivity greatly. We have a contract with these gentle dearies; we have a responsibility to take care of them and ensure their health and comfort, and in turn, they take care of us. God Bless Them.
It just seems like the trimming should hurt, but it's doing the opposite. I love how you explain as you go. Someone should invent designer shoes for the cows :)
@Lynda5333 ear wax removal and pimple popping yes, haven't in a long time. Until these videos the only ones I'm subscribed to are fail army and Selina Spooky Boo lol
Perhaps the pimple popping, black head extraction and ingrown hair tweezing has brought me here and I'm very ok with that. This is fascinating and great to watch. Thank you for this content.
Just unbelievable what you do for these ANIMALS that we think only gives us milk but they are so like us and they need treatments to keep them safe and HEALTHY so we can have a good glass of milk . THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR UNBELIEVABLE WORK WITH THESE BIG AND I MEAN BIG ANIMALS AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR UNBELIEVABLE WORK.
I really love your channel nate. I can really see how deeply you care for these beautiful creatures. I've seen other channels, like the hoof gp, but I cant even get through 5 minutes of them because I can tell that they are more into the money than the animals. I love how well cared for the cows you work on are, I hate seeing cows covered in sores and feces on other farms. As an animal lover myself, it makes me happy that you are so gentle, so loving and so kind towards these animals. Sadly they are still destined for animal agriculture but at least they have you!! Never stop being gentle. :)
With the first cow you didn't relieve pressure on the inner claw(the one you put a block on) for the pedal bone. Either you didn't do that which is part of the 5 step method, or it just wasn't filmed. The problem will persist if you don't take the weight off of the pedal bone as well and since there wasn't a leision/ulsor on the inside claw, if you don't take the weight off of the pedal bone, she will bear all of her weight on that one claw and it WILL cause a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if she had at minimum bruising on that claw. I hope you did carve out the height on the pedal area and I just didn't see it. You're doing a great job though. This is a very hard profession and I have mad respect.
I too recently stumbled on these videos and find them fascinating. Also appreciate how everything is explained so well. And how not aggressive he is in trimming. He definitely has the cows best interest and comfort in mind. ETA could there be a genetic portion associated with the ulcers.
I find having my hair cut relaxing and therapeutic, and now I find the same thing happening watching this guy's work! I never knew this skill even existed until seeing it here, never saw any work being done on cows hoofs when I grew up around farming communities when I was a child
This is becoming a new genre of film: cow noir. "The beautiful redhead crossed her legs. I could see something was bothering her..." More seriously, I respect your openness to learning and researching more about what causes these conditions. No matter how much you know, you can always know more, and the other hooftrimmers can learn from it. It's so important to investigate what is the cause and what is the effect. If only more people (in every field) paid more attention to that!
Hi Nate! See you got a new knife! Was wondering how long you would be able to use that skinny blade from the last couple videos. You sure make cows happy! Be well and have an awesome day!
Ooo daisy you've seen how I was walking ,the pain was unbearable well you wouldn't believe it but that man who we thought was here with his box of tools to mend the tractor ,was here to service my hoofs , I felt the improvement and pain relief straight away ,I just hope he comes back and looks at that boil on my bum that I told you about
You may be on to something with the metabolic changes leading to sole ulcers. Natural calving time is in the spring which also corresponds to the flush of growth of the grasses. Those grasses are well known in the horse world to be higher in sugar content than any other time in the year which can lead to laminitis in sensitive animals. I wonder if that higher sugar content combined with the stress of calving and the extra leverage from hoof imbalances tips predisposed animals over the edge leading to the hoof issues. Sounds like it could be a interesting research topic for a newly minted vet student( not me sadly).
I moved to a rural area four years ago and see cows all the time when I walk my dog. I love to watch them in the spring when the calves are small, but never once did it enter my mind that they could have these foot problems.
I'm 75 years old and I never knew that you had these problems with cow's hoofs. thank you for putting up these videos. Most enjoyable and educational.

That must provide so much relief for the cows. Also, when you start carving the hoofs, why do I keep thinking about Brazil nuts? Lol.
👍🤣
Brazil nuts! I was 5 videos in trying to remember what those are called. Thanks! 😄
That's the nut I was thinking of too
Oh yeah they do kinda look like Brazil nuts. Similar shape and color

Now I’m sure that you won’t ever see this comment, but still - could the sole ulcers on front feet on pasture cows be more likely because of the way they have to distribute weight to eat? Free stall cows have either the trough or ground either slightly raised or even ground - while pasture cows surely have various terrain differences, meaning that they sometimes have to bend over “downhill” to feed, putting alot more preassure on the front feet. Could that possibly be the cause?
I don’t trim bovines. However I am a professional horse trainer, certified riding instructor, and trim my own horses (along with the occasional client horse). Every horse I have owned has been kept on dry lots/track systems instead of grass pasture. In the twenty years I’ve had horses I have only had one abscess. It was in a horse I had just bought. He got an abscess about two weeks after I brought him home. I’m not savvy enough to put together a study of the magnitude I think it needs to be, but I suspect that equines with access to higher sugar content are more susceptible to hoof issues. I agree the metabolic changes have a lot to do with the quality of their hooves.
There’s really too many things to list that can affect a cow from the time she’s goes dry to the time she calves. Improper diet, overcrowding, insufficient feed intake during the dry period, being too fat… all these can trigger metabolic bell in a cow that can lead to much worse than foot problems.
Nate, what you said about thicker hoofs being a symptom (not the cause) of a heel ulcer makes a lot of sense‼️
Wow! That is one sharp knife!
I appreciate that you speed up the grinding. It gives us more time to watch your knife work. Also appreciate how well you describe what you're doing. I'll never even touch a cow, but I watch you because you do such good work.
I don’t know how this wound up in my feed but I’m totally obsessed. Now I can’t stop watching.
I think you're right about the excess horn growth being a symptom, especially as, as you pointed out, you treat it by making the healthy claw take all the weight. Coming from the view point of a microbiologist, I believe your theories about the ulcer formation are really sound, too. Gastric ulcers in humans are generally caused by bacteria called H. pylori that gain a foothold when the human is compromised in someway, often by stress, certain drugs or food-habits, or illnesses. I would not be surprised if, like you said, some metabolic factor play a role that influence the formation of an ulcer in a hoof. Perhaps even several factors together, like also coinciding with calving time or changes in the estrous cycle, stress of changing pasture location or feed, as in this case having to compensate for a different sore foot and already having an activated immune response, or some other combination could be contributing and causing an ulcer to form. Very interesting to hear about!
I am very impressed by your knowledge and your kindness and care towards all the animals you handle, you have my deepest respect for that! Thank you kindly for sharing it!😊
Thank you for helping these ladies, they are very patient.
Each cow should be issued 2 pairs of orthopedic shoes. Makes you wonder how farmers dealt with this kind of thing back in the day, before the crush.
Poor sweetheart. She probably felt SO much better after all of this.
Nate is fast becoming my fav hoof trimmer 🥰
You need to watch the hoof gp as well.
@@pumperswife2248 Hoof gp is all clickbait titles and 2/3rds music and filler to optimize the algorithm. Nate has honest titles, speaks plainly, and is all content and no filler
@@GR-kt4le Totally agree with you.
I first started watching hoof trimming thanks to hoof gp. I do love his trims too but lately too many sponsored ads. Too much talking not enough trimming 😂 i also understand that it’s his income revenue now that he has become more popular hence why I much prefer Nate these days!
I absolutely agree with that. Mr.Nate gets right down to business- no lengthy intro to waste your time and most importantly(I feel) no stupid music.
The texture when he’s shaving is just so satisfying. Like forbidden coconut. 🥥 🌴
She looked so much more comfortable when she walk out of the crush 😊

Are we not going to talk about how soothing Nate’s voice is?! ASMR - he also does a great job explaining what’s happening
when you said "she's crossing her legs." i instantly thought "why don't you let her go pee?" so glad shes in your care.
What do you mean, "let her"? If it wants to go pee or take a shyt, it will just poop all over the ground right there
@@albedo5606 haha poo poo pee pee
You help these cows so much. If she could talk, she would say that feels so much better now thanks to you
I don’t know anything about cows and their hoof grooming but your videos are oddly therapeutic for my anxiety love your videos!
Wow never thought I’d be watching hoof trimming it all started when it popped up for a suggested watch n I been hooked ever since your doing a great job
Yup! Same
The TEC TV guys need to watch your videos to learn how to be careful and thorough! I love how you treat these animals!!
I really enjoy the commentary, as it helps the lay person understand what's going on
Cows are amazing creatures…..the hoofs are amazing as well! Love the videos!😎👍
Nate the hoof guys take his time , he cleans the wounds he trims , it's like going into surgery , and voice is off the chain! It is soothing and mentally relaxing. Those cows feel, "great"!!!
I can’t stop watching.
@Hello DZW75, How are you doing?
I binged so much of your videos to the point if i see a cow, I think I would know what to do to clean/treat a cows foot hahahah
I think it's amazing that you're also learning through firsthand experience that there are most likely other variables aside from hard ground that are causing ulcers
I hope you write down or document your notes/findings to help other cow guys :)
As always interesting thoughts and information about possible causes and what needs to be done. Thanks a bunch from Germany.

Great repair to the feet , the cow seems so much better after your skilled work 👍👍
I would like to say thank you for sharing these videos they are so enlightening I can watch you work your magic on the cows all day! You sir are a true professional.
I'm Just glad to see that you are helping these magnificent Bovines. 🐄 Some Hoof Men do not clean as much as you do. I'm glad that you do, even if helps minimally... I just seem to be the right thing to do. Good Job Mr. Nate Man...🤜🤛👍👍🐄🐄🐄
How the hell did I end up in his hypnotic channel?
Do you talk to the cows after your done? Like tell them they did a good job?
I hope
HE did a good job, the cows did nothing lol.
@@gordordf1091 the cows were patient and didn’t struggle against him. They did a good job on not trying to escape
@@vixy2321 quite sure they can't even if they tries.
Do you think the cow would jump up and down with excitement if he said "good job"? Pretty sure they wouldn't know wtf he is saying, maybe because....idk....it's a cow
Love the video just a thing about micro nutrients , when we swing towards winter we find including zinc in the diet hardens the hoof plus copper seems to help with dermatitis 🤠🇦🇺
New shoes do make a lady feel better! Love these videos, Nate.
I'm hooked on watching these , looks like your shaving coconut , good job on what your doing for the cows
I am a Math teacher. I admire your approach on the issue each cow particularly. Even i feel a relief watching the videos :)
I love that you no there's a problem with the hoof just by taking a layer or two off. And for me its the fact you help make cows more comfortable even though it looks sore and we sit here wincing you take care of them. ❤
Not only ur a good man but ur also strong to be doing that, God bless you and your family, stay safe 🙏❤
Why am I watching a film about fixing an animal's hoof? Because it's so interesting. Because it feels good seeing the cow helped. Because the hoof guy is very talented. Because I love the guy's voice.
Patiently waiting until Nate start posting longer videos again. Longer videos that teaches some things about cows hoof are the best.
I love how your videos are so informative and you are providing lessons upon what’s happening with a cow or cattle’s feet and how we need to take measures to properly care for and treat not only the cows, but their feet to ensure that their environment is conducive to ensuring that they are well , comfortable and stay in good health..
PS…it’s ALSO SO satisfying to see that lovely nice creamy fresh horn and to see that their hoof issues are dealt with to make them more comfortable. A cow in pain, is stressed and it affects her quality of life and her productivity greatly.
We have a contract with these gentle dearies; we have a responsibility to take care of them and ensure their health and comfort, and in turn, they take care of us. God Bless Them.
It just seems like the trimming should hurt, but it's doing the opposite. I love how you explain as you go. Someone should invent designer shoes for the cows :)
I'm loving these videos! Idk how I stumbled across them, but now I can't stop watching!
@Lynda5333 ear wax removal and pimple popping yes, haven't in a long time. Until these videos the only ones I'm subscribed to are fail army and Selina Spooky Boo lol
Is it just me, or does this remind you of peeling potatoes?
I thought the same thing
I always think of a hard cheese, but now I'll never unsee the potato
Perhaps the pimple popping, black head extraction and ingrown hair tweezing has brought me here and I'm very ok with that. This is fascinating and great to watch. Thank you for this content.
I love watching them walk off at the end with their newly trimmed feet
Just unbelievable what you do for these ANIMALS that we think only gives us milk but they are so like us and they need treatments to keep them safe and HEALTHY so we can have a good glass of milk .
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR UNBELIEVABLE WORK WITH THESE BIG AND I MEAN BIG ANIMALS AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR UNBELIEVABLE WORK.
I got your videos recommended to me two days ago, and I'm officially obsessed! Thanks for sharing what you do with us :)
I can not stop watching your videos, I've almost watched all of them now, thanks Nate for the videos :)
I really love your channel nate. I can really see how deeply you care for these beautiful creatures. I've seen other channels, like the hoof gp, but I cant even get through 5 minutes of them because I can tell that they are more into the money than the animals. I love how well cared for the cows you work on are, I hate seeing cows covered in sores and feces on other farms. As an animal lover myself, it makes me happy that you are so gentle, so loving and so kind towards these animals. Sadly they are still destined for animal agriculture but at least they have you!! Never stop being gentle. :)
In my fantasy I feel like I have a job , I do have some knowledge as an hoof trimming now , I binge watch this so much !
Beautiful cow. She must have been so happy to find her new shoes so comfortable. Great job.
With the first cow you didn't relieve pressure on the inner claw(the one you put a block on) for the pedal bone. Either you didn't do that which is part of the 5 step method, or it just wasn't filmed. The problem will persist if you don't take the weight off of the pedal bone as well and since there wasn't a leision/ulsor on the inside claw, if you don't take the weight off of the pedal bone, she will bear all of her weight on that one claw and it WILL cause a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if she had at minimum bruising on that claw. I hope you did carve out the height on the pedal area and I just didn't see it. You're doing a great job though. This is a very hard profession and I have mad respect.
Don't know why. These videos are relaxing. Almost fell asleep cos your voice is so soothing!
I am so glad you take time to be. gently and respect the girls
I am a redhead with 2 sore feet! Lol...I love your videos! I like the work you do to help the cows ..
I too recently stumbled on these videos and find them fascinating. Also appreciate how everything is explained so well. And how not aggressive he is in trimming. He definitely has the cows best interest and comfort in mind.
ETA could there be a genetic portion associated with the ulcers.
I love watching these videos. And I don’t know why. I also love how he explains everything, very easy to understand. 🙂🙂🙂
I find having my hair cut relaxing and therapeutic, and now I find the same thing happening watching this guy's work!
I never knew this skill even existed until seeing it here, never saw any work being done on cows hoofs when I grew up around farming communities when I was a child
Wow, that girl is gorgeous. Good to see her being cared for
This is becoming a new genre of film: cow noir. "The beautiful redhead crossed her legs. I could see something was bothering her..."
More seriously, I respect your openness to learning and researching more about what causes these conditions. No matter how much you know, you can always know more, and the other hooftrimmers can learn from it. It's so important to investigate what is the cause and what is the effect. If only more people (in every field) paid more attention to that!
Cow noir.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a pretty girl! Your narration and watching you work is informative and calming and perfect for a cold and rainy night. Thank you!
She is walking nicely and has a beautiful red face. I guess all cows are beautiful, they have big innocent eyes. Having one for a pet would be great.
man those cows are like aw hell yeah hoof spa day
Hi Nate! See you got a new knife! Was wondering how long you would be able to use that skinny blade from the last couple videos. You sure make cows happy! Be well and have an awesome day!
Ya I have no clue what your doing, or even that cow's needed this but I love watching!! Keep making more please!!!
This is so fascinating and I have no idea why. Thanks for the education.
Ooo daisy you've seen how I was walking ,the pain was unbearable well you wouldn't believe it but that man who we thought was here with his box of tools to mend the tractor ,was here to service my hoofs , I felt the improvement and pain relief straight away ,I just hope he comes back and looks at that boil on my bum that I told you about
You may be on to something with the metabolic changes leading to sole ulcers. Natural calving time is in the spring which also corresponds to the flush of growth of the grasses. Those grasses are well known in the horse world to be higher in sugar content than any other time in the year which can lead to laminitis in sensitive animals. I wonder if that higher sugar content combined with the stress of calving and the extra leverage from hoof imbalances tips predisposed animals over the edge leading to the hoof issues.
Sounds like it could be a interesting research topic for a newly minted vet student( not me sadly).
Pretty much exactly my line of thought. 👍
They need sugar free grass lol.
These videos aren’t what you wanted but they’re what you need
Aaaaww she's so pretty🥰 Cows have been my favorite animal since a was a kid >>though we raised our own beef cows
I moved to a rural area four years ago and see cows all the time when I walk my dog. I love to watch them in the spring when the calves are small, but never once did it enter my mind that they could have these foot problems.
I’m a redhead, and my feet hurt today also….so I feel her pain lol
🙂. Mine do too actually.
I am binge watching your fantastic channel. Congratulations on 200k subscribers
