Do I own cows? No. Do I have any reason to watch these videos? Also, no. Do I pay substantially more attention to Nate and his teachings than any college class I have ever been in? Yes.
I still absolutely CAN NOT for the life of me know why I LOVE these videos😫And when he sprays the "green stuff" on the absence!!💃🏿 I'am instantly soothed!!🫣
Look at that exacting blade work up top! Cut all around the disturbance to the micro-edge, and not once did she bleed. Such skill and patience. These farmers are grateful for your brand of work, no doubt.
I love how the very first time a video from you was recommended to me, i was interested because i didnt know what i was looking at at first but i was soooop grossed out. I was hiding my face in my sweater saying "wtf is going on!" over and over until the video ended and i just sat there shocked and at the time traumatized😂😂😂 but now, maybe a year or so later, the notification for this video comes up, im doing the same thing I was the first video i watched🍃💨 wearing the same sweater, and my reaction is "yeahhhhh buddie, lets goooooo" and i get excited 😂 love your videos Nate!!!
Lol, yeah, my face was the picture of fascinated horror when I first watched one of these videos, but they were so addicting! Now it's just enthusiasm 😝
I’m always SO AMAZED by what lurks beneath what looks like beautiful, creamy, lovely new horn….and then WHAMMO…you start investigating with your knives…..and Holy Heck‼️YIKES‼️ BUT YOU ALWAYS NOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. And I’m sure these lovely ladies appreciate the care you provide for their comfort and their health..walking away feeling more comfortable and more stable on their feet. I LOVE COWS…ALWAYS HAVE. ❤🇨🇦
I was half falling asleep as it’s my nightly wind down routine to watch your vids, and I could’ve swore you said “Parakeet Invaders.” 😂 Had to rewind just to be sure I’m not going hard of hearing yet haha 😆
I love watching them get care and feel better. But my favorite part of this video? Little lady coming over… “Whatcha doin’?… Oh. Hoof care. Ok. Proceed. But take good care of her.”
I know that digital dermatitis is very contagious between cows, so after you've touched it with your knife (as you did in this vid) do you then get a clean knife to trim the rest of the herd or just disinfect the one you're using?
I watch several of these hoof trimming channels and while I choose to abstain from claiming, who is the best, because I'm simply a layman when it comes to these matters, Nate is far and away my absolute favorite! I love his calm and informative explanations and his knife work is head and shoulders above any of the others in my humble opinion. Nate really seems to care about the comfort of the cows he works on and it appears that he truly enjoys his work.
I've been watching Nate's videos for months now, and I know he does a great job. Sometimes, I see a spot I know he'll get to eventually, but my brain hyper fixates on that one spot. It's such a relief when the knife finally reaches it. 😅
Not sure why this channel originally popped up for me, but I'm really glad it did. As many have already commented, this profession is absolutely fascinating. So multi-faceted it's an art form. Oh, I've been around cows several times, horses many times and I've see them shoed. Never saw anything where a farrier was dealing with serious issues. An experienced farrier is certainly worth their weight in gold. Being able to help these animals back to health and comfort must be tremendously fulfilling. Horses, cows, what else would be in the mix? Reminds me of an old (very much ex) girlfriend at the nail salon that I went with 1 time. Seriously, have you ever had a situation you felt really challenged by?
Was watching things as the bleeding symptom from pressure, etc. Interesting (Hairy Wart) crept in while the sole was detaching. Thank you for the reminder about heat and the resulting pattern of hoof problems following a heat spell. We must have a doozy of hoof problems in the U.S. with the heat conditions of this passing summer.
When they're used to getting handled and worked with, they learn that being put in places like that aren't dangerous, so they stay calm. It's the farmer's job to work with the animals and keep them tame. Plus, these are dairy cattle. The crush isn't that different from the milker they go through every day.
It's not like they have a choice. They can't mooove in the crush, but yeah, I get what you're saying. Once in a while, you can hear them moo, but they may feel somewhat secure in the crush.
Hello Nate, I would like to ask you a question. Is the white powder product you use zinc? So what do I use as liquid? I watch you with pleasure from Turkey @nate
@@emreacar9434 6:33 The white powder is salicylic acid. He then wraps it tightly to the hoof. The time stamp is when he says what it is. As for the blue liquid he sprays I'm guessing it's a type of disinfectant or spray that's safe to get into the hoof. Other channels use the same type of spray. Others ALSO use iodine as well (sometimes in place of the salicylic acid, sometimes in addition to). The other channel I'm referring to is the Scottish guy, it's called That Hood GP or something. This guy and that channel are the 2 I have been watching lately.
I grew up on a dairy farm and remember doing this with my grandfather and dad when i was younger. I love watching these videos ❤. Its almost like i can smell it again 😂
Digital dermatitis I am always amazed as to as little infection/pus I see in your videos compared to others. Do you have any idea as to why? Do you see the cows more often? Or is it the amount of antibiotics in their food? Or type of flooring?
FAQ? How do you maintain your blade(s)? I can imagine they last a long time when dealing with the sole horn but the wall horn must eat the edge. Do you sharpen them? They seem like such a difficult tool to maintain. Also, if you prefer them thinner, why don’t they come that way? Edit - I forgot to add the thing I initially wanted to say. Thank you, hope you and your family are well.
I, too, have succumbed to the mysterious allure of these videos.I really like that you are helping animals and your voice shows you care. Cute cow photo bomb this time!🐄❤
The margins were sensitive but you took great care to upset her as little as possible. Hopefully it's a quick heal and complication free. Sore feet suck in the cold months just around the corner.
Crazy how much a lot of us have learned from just watching TH-cam videos. I truly feel I could become a hoof trimmer with minimal training. But I could be completely wrong lol
If you would've told me 4 months ago that I would be bingewatching hoof cleaning videos instead of studying for my business calc test I never would've believed you lol TH-cam is one crazy place
Watching the Hoof GP channel, seems like the cows in that area suffer from things I did not see here, like foot necrosis where half of the hoof is in decaying state. Is there an explanation to this?
Would be interesting to see those "spirochete invaders" under a microscope. Spirochetes are gnarly with how easily they can burrow into anything and feed.
I was kinda hoping that you would give a complete answer to “what would happen in the wild” question-“well, assuming that her lameness didn’t single her out for predators, the problem would resolve itself and she’d shed that detached hoof.” We seem to have a problem admitting to ourselves that the reason wild animals have fewer health issues than domesticated animals is because problematic animals tend to get eaten more than healthy animals do. If we’re going to intervene in their life cycles this dramatically, we owe it to them to take care of them to the best of our ability.
hi, It seems to be always about cattle, i wondered if sheep and goats need similar care ? The only thing i can guess is that due to their smaller size, they have less pressure on hoofs, so less problems with punctures and such.
Love your videos! ❤Very relaxing, I always wondered does trimming their hoofs hurt once you get further down? And does it hurt them when you spray disinfectant, or are these painless? I just find this process so interesting and mesmerizing 😊
Love your videos ❤! Very relaxing and satifying to watch your work, thank you! I have a question for you, sir, have you changed the way you place the glue on the hoof lately? You put some on the outside wall too now, i remember you used to move the block in a circle before placing it, probably to obtain some of the same result?
Nate, you’ve described the knives you use getting progressively thinner and sharper as you use them, but when do you know it’s time to retire said knife for a new one? When it gets to the point where the blade is so thin it’s about to snap?
Before computers were popular farmers experienced only dermatitis. Since the technology boom the past 25 years we mainly see only digital dermatitis. The more you know!
Love these videos. Would love to know how to apply these lessons to trimming my sheep’s feet. I’m in Oklahoma, but there doesn’t seem to be any vets who know sheep or anyone who does feet well!
I'm calling it a boo boo, I'd treat it with some bactine, And wrap it with some celestic acid, Benzo carbonate With a spoonful of sugar. To help the medicine go down.😮 Awesome job, Nate doggie dog.
I'm not sure if maybe I just missed you saying something in a previous video, but I was wondering. Now that it's been several months since you switched to the more abrasive grinder, have you noticed any better block retention?
I watch Nate and the hoof gp, both very different methods but both fascinating and educational. Do I have cows? Nope, have I ever had cows? Nope Do i love cows? Yup. I did work on a cattle farm one summer when I was young in the 1980s, I got paid in whatever eggs I collected on the day and I got to help with the calves, they're adorable.
I am thinking digital dermatitis. By the way Nate, you are far and away the most interesting hoof trimmer on YT in my opinion. You are also very careful with animals. Awesome.

I love Nate the Hoof Guy. I also watch other hoof trimming shows.
Never could i have ever imagined being this invested into a guy cleaning hooves.

its just fascinating

Gotta love that curious girl sniffing around in the first half. Goes to show the cows aren't afraid or nervous around getting their pedicures. 😂
They enjoy getting those nice manicures in summer when they can show off their ✨hot girl body✨ to the other girls in the pastures XD

I’m always amazed at how calm the cattle are first in the crush then when working on their feet. Am shocked they’re not going berserk and kicking

One of the times we see you being extra gentle because you could tell that area was sensitive at the end. Good stuff as usual.
0:53 I like how her cow friend came over as if to give emotional support to the heifer being worked on. 😆🐮
Hey! He answered my question from his last video about marks on a healthy claw.

I've never been around horses or cows but I just can't stop watching these videos.
They are awesome.
Very fine handywork, Nate. 👍🐂
I remember Dermatitis but always forget the Digital part. Great job Nate 👩🏻🏫👵🏻👏🏻🥰‼️
Digital dermatitis-damn spirochetes always going where they ain’t wanted! So glad you caught it, sorry she got butt butted by another heifer. 💚💚

@@TorchMeetsWorld I’ll have to have a look. Thank you.
Being older I always have to wonder with the spate of Digital Dermatitis these days ... whatever happened to Analog Dermatitis??
Ha ha ha... there's Digital Transformation for ya!

While i appreciate the skil and knowledge you have attained, im always impressed by your gentleness. Love watching you work.
(Total guess after you asked the question) Digital Dermatitis?
Yes!
The margins were sensitive but you took great care to upset her as little as possible. Hopefully it's a quick heal and complication free. Sore feet suck in the cold months just around the corner.

Hi Nate. Casual guy here, I don’t know anything about what’s going on but it’s satisfying. Love the vids brother keep ‘em coming!
I do love the way these farmers take care of their animals

Honestly adorable

Nate, I've watched way too many trimming videos and you are the best.
I almost missed what Nate was saying cuz I was too busy watching the cow trying to look at the camera 😂 it's a photo bomb opportunity 🤣
This is like a damn Dora episode with the "do you know what this is?" segment. We're basically toddlers.
Your channel has blown up. I'm stoked for you man!
I really enjoy your videos. In particular I appreciate your commentary. Thank you!
The heifer in the background seems to be supervising your work. 😉 Cattle are curious creatures.

Those poor cows. I started drinking Almond milk in 2012 after I saw what these poor things go through.
It always amazes me just how much hoof you can take off of a cow before it hurts them.
I should be sleeping but here I am watching your videos like alright I have to help Nate “LETS DO THIS “ !!! 😂
Ngl your videos make me want to become a hoof trimmer, and I'm in an area with plenty of cows to work with so it would be feasible lol
@1:06 uv got company! Lol somebody came to check out Nate the hoof guy and see who he had in the sling😆
Great knife/hook work - on occasion seen you break out the scalpel in that area instead of continuing with the knife - what guides that decision?
Only if it’s really soft, thin horn.
Heel bulbs separation. Went to college and lacrosse, my best friend still lives in Galesville.
i've never trimmed a hoof, but after watching so many hours of it, it's like i have a PhD in hoof trimming. LOL
A little late to the show but I’m going with DD. Another great vid Nate!
👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏
I’m ready for my hoof trimming finals. Never been close to a cow but been watching the TH-cam hoof trimmers since lockdown 🧐🐄 🧑⚕️🏅
I liked watching pimple poppers till I saw NTHG, now this is my main focus now. Brilliant work NTHG
I'm watching Nate today instead of my pitiful NY Giants. If Nate can toss a football with the ease he trims hoofs he could start for us.
We’re struggling this year too but I think Jordan Love has potential.
Oh yes a farrier, is Nate one? Very interesting work. Love watching these.

2:40 with the muck on the outside of the hoof and the white of the cut hoof, it almost reminds me of a slice of coconut
Id love to get nates opinion on some other hoof trimming youtubers methods and videos!
Nate, you’ve described the knives you use getting progressively thinner and sharper as you use them, but when do you know it’s time to retire said knife for a new one? When it gets to the point where the blade is so thin it’s about to snap?
Excellent care, Nate! You are the best!!

Salicylic acid. It's aspirin's first cousin. Anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and anti-microbial.
You only get better as time goes on! The best knife on youtube!

Wow it is amazing, could I know what solution in the bottle you spray on the hoof?
I believe it’s a chlorhexidine solution. :)
to be honest i actually don’t know how i am this interested in some random guy clean cow hooves
