Today’s video we treat a cow with a whiteline lesion that has been colonized by the bacteria that cause digital dermatitis. CONTACT NATE THE HOOF GUY hooftrimmerguy@gmail.com
I admire your knife work. It takes a lot of strength, skill and a sharp knife to gently cut away the loose horn without causing more damage. Kudos, sir!
It's the sounds as well. Thr grinder is the same sound as a fan, as inside the womb, as in a driving car, etc....all those sounds that kinda knock you out Lol. Plus in his videos , he is quiet and the videos are very quiet....no music or other noises....just him and the cows. Have you checked out his Hoof Trimming ASMR channel out yet?
Hoof horn really shouldn’t look like overcooked calamari. That cow’s going to feel so much better now that the lesions are opened up to the air, the salicylic acid is doing its job on the digital dermatitis, and the block’s taking the pressure off that hoof and keeping it elevated out of the muck. Good job 👍
I came across your videos by mistake but I have watched so many now and subscribed to your channel. It is strangely hypnotic to listen to your narration and watch the skill with which you treat the animals. It is so fascinating and I learnt so much about a subject I had no idea about whatsoever !!.
I was raised on a farm and sure enjoyed milking the cows by hand. And helping my grandpa carry the milk jugs out to the side of the road for the milk man to pick them up. Those days are gone. But watching you do this somehow brings it full circle. Thanks Nate, your alright.
I love all your work and videos Nate, but I am also loving all the comments and questions from your family of fans - I sometimes stay on one video repeatedly while reading the many hilarious, caring, interesting, appreciative comments. Just a delight all around. So, thank you both to Nate and to everyone in the family for the awesome good energy! ❤️
Hello fellow comment reader! I do something similar! I always end up rewatching a ton of his videos, but let them auto play so it’s a roulette of comments and I find new ones on old videos sometimes! Happy watching and commenting 💚 Thanks for the awesome community Nate! 💚 🐮
You truly are the best hoof trimmer i've seen. Very gentle, and understanding of whats needed! I respect you for taking such great care with these precious creatures
That was an important differentiation on the use of salacytic acid and the copper paste. Wouldn't have been able to guess tender tissue difference. Thank you!
You know what I like about your show? Nate you don't show boat like all the others I love that you give us physical scientific information that we can process. Thank you so much for your gentle caring nursing of these cattle I can tell you really enjoy it.
I once had a small rock stuck in the bottom of my heel so i went to the doctor. it felt so amazing when they to it out, i kinda imagine it feeling like that for these cows
Pop Quiz!!! LOL! Cow girlie be like..."Can I walk? (Takes a few steps...) Heck yeah!!" I learn so much from your video's. It's cool that you explain the answers to everyone's questions. Hugz, Tree
I feel so horrible for these animals going through these conditions that have to be treated. It must be so horrible. I feel for them. Thank goodness they have people like you to help them.
I know this is a little bit of an older video but dang it you're good!! That was so satisfying to watch, you answered questions I didn't even realize I had. And as always you're so gentle with these ladies, 😊
Hello Nate, great video as a truck driver, I'm not sure why I'm watching but maybe cause I grew up around my uncle's dairy farm, none the less great teaching video.
Wow, I'm early to this video, I found this channel from watching The Hoof GP, and he recommend this channel, and I love it.. Very informative, and entertaining. Great content!
Actually, I'm surprised that anything heals at all. They leave your shoot and step right out there into the nasty wet muck. Credit to what you do and the stuff you use to make it happen.
When I read the title, I thought the video was going to be about a cow who's hoof hurt so much every time it was touched she would attempt to attack you. Glad I was wrong. lol
Have watched so many of your vids but still occasionally learn something new when I venture into the backlog! Great to hear the difference between salicylic acid and copper sulfate
Hi Nate! Good to see you again! I don't know if I've told you recently, but I'm really enjoying your channel. Please keep it coming, and thanks for this video!
i like how you change out your knives to do different types of work. I noticed you were using a larger knife in the beginning and a narrower one for the detailed work
Was interesting she was a bit tentative to put her hoof completely down and then almost a cloud over her head saying “hey that is really good.. no pain”
God I love that your job is a thing and I love you for being so good and gentle at your job you’re the reason I have hope for humans 🐮💚🙏🏽 you deserve a raise even if you got one already lol
It’s funny-I have never, and probably will never own a cow (or any hoofed animal for that matter) but I just love your channel! It’s so fascinating! 👍🏼
I’ve watched several of your videos in the last couple of days and I am impressed with your vast knowledge of your craft but I have come to one major conclusion is that running water must be extremely hard to come by in the area(s) that you travel to and do your work.
@@NatetheHoofGuy Really sorry to hear that. That must have been a very dangerous situation. Also, I was wondering about cows who maybe live mostly in a pasture and don’t have someone experienced like you and a compassionate farmer looking after them. These infections seem so common. What would happen to cows trying to recover and heal on their own? Thank you for your kindness to the cows and for teaching all of your fans so much!
Nate I really enjoy watching you work. You have a great voice for this, very calming. I would love to view a follow up visit. Do you ever film those and approximately how many follow up treatments are the norm for full recovery? Why don’t cows have shoes put on their hooves as preventative care? Thank you ☺️
Hi Nate! She looks good after that trim and treatment. Can you tell me why some cows drool in the crush and others don't? I salivate when I am in pain (I try not to drool!) so I thought maybe it was the same for cows, especially ones with painful hoof conditions.
I was also thinking anxiety. If I’m particularly depressed and or anxious, I either get really tense or all my muscles go lax. Moving is slow, I become more clumsy … I imagine that if I wasn’t a human (who cares about whether or not I’m drooling) that would also extend to swallowing and keeping my mouth shut. I wonder if the cows view a visit from the hoof trimmer a bit like a lot of us view an appointment with the dentist … don’t like being there but like the results? (including; a) a weird non-crush {cows potential opinion, not mine} that lifts them off their feet AND levitates; b) NOISY buzzing things that get applied to their feet) Do they connect “foot hurts less now” to their experience? (Mostly a rhetorical question) *Edit: Stupid Auto-correct
