That comment echoes a sentiment constantly made on the hoof gp channel, where he feels the stress of being in the crush is a big problem. (Or maybe it's the fact he's paid by the cow; do faster work, which means more cows, which means more money).
One thing about working with large animals, you work as quietly and as gently as possible. Prudent pace, yes, but fast and quick startles and unsettles these animals. You're a credit to your industry, Sir.
I like the slower pace...the lack of gore on your channel is a credit to your skill. I, like many, watch others...and sometimes they cut and clip the vid to not show their mistakes. Great vid. Keep it up. 👨🌾
Some people don't care about the comfort of an animal. This is also the indication of someone who cares only about themselves. Thanks for taking your time with these incredible creatures. I always marvel at your gentleness with them.
I feel like I need to apologize on behalf of the critic who said you need to work faster! I suspect I know why. Another hoof trimmer made such a point of that the other day! And then I saw mistakes being made because of the speed! Yes! The other cow was flinching more! Nate- please do not let those who do not know of what they speak to pressure you to work differently! We love you for your precise and delicate work!
@@helmaschine1885 I am not a hoof trimmer or a farmer, but I think he should slow down a bit. I get very nervous at times on behalf of the cow! The other day, from the camera angle, I could see he had clearly touched the corium and the cow flinched. And it wasn't due to a newer injury where there wasn't a clearer separation. He had plenty of room to maneuver. He was just not taking the time to aim and lift that false sole. I almost wrote a comment- the opposite of what Nate got- "Please slow down! You have a whole team helping you!"- but I stopped myself. I understand that maybe a bull needs to get out quicker- the issue of that radial nerve. I wonder, though, when he has a huge queue of cows to get through, the pressure is greater to move faster, so easy for me, as someone said below, to be a keyboard warrior and be just like Nate's critic! I am glad I said nothing. The guy is a pro and needs to figure that out my himself. He obviously cares about the cows, as does Nate.
The person that made that comment probably never did this before, everything in life isn’t a race! When your production goes up your quality goes down I would rather a good quality job that took a little bit longer to do than a quick sloppy job
i got distracted for a moment by barn kitty mama taking her baby for a walk in the background but got back to focusing on the hoof quickly. good job caring for this girl
I follow several hoof trimmers, and Nate is one of my absolute favorites BECAUSE of his gentleness and BECAUSE he takes the time necessary to ensure the animal is as comfortable as a reasonable level of care can make it. And there's not a damned thing "wrong" with that. And speaking as both a woman AND as if I were a cow, I'm choosing and sticking with the man who "takes his time" EVERY TIME. 😉 Great job, as always, Nate!
We know who you are, Nate. Don’t be concerned about comments on social media whose day is spent making undereducated and cruel comments about your work. I D I O T S abound here on social media. You’re the best!
Yeah, they likely have never made it outside of their suburban bedroom and know nothing about cattle or farming! You aren't excessive in taking your time beyond what's necessary and I'm sure that the farmers share their appreciation! ❤️
I have gathered from you, Nate, that most trims do go fairly fast. But when you run across the troublesome hoof, I think you give a little special treatment and you probably have a much higher healing rate than the commenter you mentioned.
I think I can speak for almost everyone here and say we appreciate you taking your time and making what could be a very uncomfortable situation more comfortable for these animals. I only watch your videos because the other trimmers out there make me nervous with the way they cut and just don't seem to keep in mind the animals can feel!!
Well Nate, the one reason I watch and NOT any of the other hoof guys is precisely because you take your time; you are careful and clearly very conscientious about how the cow is doing while you're trimming. Your humane approach to what you do sets you apart. You're the gold standard!!
Before you mentioned your speed, I was watching and so appreciating your knife work and thinking to myself about how precise you are and that I appreciate you taking your time. I’m sure the cow can stand being in the machine a little longer. You’re so good at what you do
No need to defend yourself Nate. You're clearly the one doing the job, and the commenter was just frustrated that you weren't zooming through the process. The analogy with the dentist is great, and I would choose having my dentist take his time as well. I once had a dentist who forgot to clean his hands before putting his hands into my mouth. I got the flu from that. Not very nice.
I always say Mr Nate does this with care and love some others treat cows like old shoes, that is why every cent he charges is well deserved. The rest of these other hoof guys need showing how to deal with these animals too they are alive.
@@verityviolet pick since from foolishness when I say treat cows like old shoes they are a bit more aggressive with the animal the way Nick does it is in a more caring way......smh!!!
Healthcare should never be a speeding contest, it's a matter of attention to detail, and getting the job done right, that also goes when it comes to animals.
Nate - you are a true professional and a kind and compassionate man. Please ignore the unkind comments. You are the BEST hoof trimmer that posts on RU-vid HANDS DOWN!
I always admire your work, Nate. you are always careful, gentle and precise. there is no need to rush. you are taking care of these lovely creatures in the best possible way! thank you for sharing your work with us ❤
Nate, you are the modern day Bob Villa & Mr. Roger’s wrapped into one. Hoof trimming really is a skilled art; you’re an excellent teacher. Stay golden✨
You are so right about taking your time to minimize damage and pain. I had an orthodontist who, indeed of gently twisting my braces off, yanked them off and left fissures in my teeth from the force of pulling them off. I also work in a library and materials get destroyed so easily and quickly that if you rush repairs or processing won’t survive more than a couple of circulations before they aren’t useable anymore. I’ve worked for companies that had shoddy craftsmanship and had people fall through their deck because they didn’t take the time to make or install the boards correctly. Shall I go on . . . ?
great video as always. I personally appreciate the logic you use in your decisions, such as using rubber blocks because the cow slipping could be catastrophic, or the emphasis placed on control and moderation in your cutting. you do very clean work. glad to hear you aren't taking the comment section "experts" advice and changing your tried and true methods.
Your style, professionalism, and passion for your job, with respectful care for the animals you tend to, is the reason your channel is number one. And to whom made that comment is the reason we’re watching Nate and not you, Good Day. Keep up the good work Nate and continue your outstanding work.
Out of EVERYONE ,YOU are the ONLY one whose cows don’t ever end up bloody and walking out the same or worse. You are gentle and kind and the animals sense it.
I started watching your videos a few years ago, and gave other trimmers a shot. They were rough and quick and there tended to be more blood like a horror movie. You taking your time to make sure the cows are calm and safe and trimmed correctly shows you care.
Regarding the person who told you to work faster…. I’ve seen a few videos of hoof trimmers who do the “faster, faster, FASTER” routine and the work they do on the hoof is noticeably below average. Even I can spot the raggedy edges and damage to the corium that speed causes. Very happy to hear (and see) that you don’t play that game and instead you do it the right way.
I can't believe there are people out there not only willing, but demanding you sacrifice these animals comfort and pain levels for speed. You're the only hoof trimmer I'll watch because of your empathy for the animals and making sure it's as painless as possible for them. Never change nate
I always appreciated how much care and precise work you do on these cow hooves. I've seen other channels and they just hack away without much care. A cow is going to be more adverse to entering a shoot when it's a place they experience pain. It's better that he's gentle. The cow is just chilling.
It is always amazing to see how fast the cows re-adapt to walking normally, when they figure-out the pain is gone or certainly much less. (I figured that since there was enough pressure to cause the area to leak when reached, that the pressure relief would probably help make the cow more comfortable.) Nice work.
I love how you take care of them, I see so many people that are rough on these poor girls and it breaks my heart. It just them doing it for views and sticking their faces in the camera every 30 seconds and obnoxiously narrate what’s going on. Thank you for your kindness and compassion for these cows
Thank you for taking your time, being as gentle as possible, and doing your best not to cause undo pain. I for one appreciate you being careful. You keep doing you! 🙂
Please keep being the gentle and caring guy the cows need! I love how you treat them. You have taught me to see how beautiful cows are and they look as though they trust you completely! Don't change a thing !
ive noticed you take a lot more care and have a softer touch than other hoof youtubers, its a nicer watch and of course the cows much prefer that too! You seem to really care about not unnecessarily hurting and riling up the cow, good on you!
I love your videos because of the gentleness and care you show to these cows. That person doesn't sound like they improve the quality of life of anything around them and, therefore, should not be listened to. I have been watching your videos for years and will continue to do so. Keep up the good work, Nate, and know you have a faithful fan base.
I love to see the relief on the cows' faces at the end. As an ex vet-tech, I can't stand watching those "faster" farriers butcher their way through the cows. Thank you, Nate, for giving each animal the care and respect it deserves.
the way you trimm is actually what make me like your videos more than other hoof trimming channels. Its so nice and gentle it makes me want to trimm a hoof too haha
See THIS is why I like watching your trims above the rest! I've seen lots where they prioritize speed and end up nicking the cow in a way that causes them stress. If I were a farmer, I would want them recovering with speed and with as little difficulty as possible
I always get so excited to see new videos it’s so satisfying, you’re so kind to these cows I’ve looked for others who make videos like you but there’s nothing like it. Other trimmers on RU-vid seem rougher in my opinion and leaning more into getting views but this is just wholesome.
I definitely want you taking all the time you need!!! You are phenomenal at your job and you truly baby these animals and for that I am grateful!!! Plz keep doing what you’re doing!!!
I have watched a few videos of another Hoof RU-vidrs, and after a few video where I can tell most of the blood is due to being careless in trying to hurry made me never watch another one. You can't always help it, but considering how few times Nate cuts them, and if it happens how little it bleeds, that is proof it does not have to be done that way. I love Nate's gentle touch and slower and therefore more precise work. Keep up the good work!
What's so fascinating about your videos is the obvious skills you show, and the precise cuts to release pressure and pain, such a professional... the detail of the two little cats about minute 3 was precious 😸
Nate you do a stellar job as always! Pay no attention to trolls who have zero clue about patience and carefulness. They sound like they're the type that does aggressive driving and like to cut lines.
You’re so amazing and keep them so calm and comfortable I’m able to zoom in an additional 2.5x and watch the trims close up because they don’t flinch at all… PLEASE keep doing you. I hate the other trimmers, especially when I know it CAN be done right, they just choose not to. It’s frustrating at the least. Love your channel and work!
One thing I’ve noticed about all the hoof trimmers in the UK and USA is that you all have a strong fondness of the cattle you treat and therefor have great compassion and concern for their stress and comfort. I’ve often wondered, what does a cow think when she is in the crush?
I’m so glad you are taking your time because it’s easy to see these girls are not hurting while you are working on them. I have watched others who rush and hurt them also easy to see. He goes very fast and doesn’t care when he makes them bleed. It’s really sad to hear them and see them trying to get away. I cannot watch . Thankyou Nate for being thorough and yet so kind ❤️
Personally I think whoever made the comment about hurrying up doesn't appreciate how good you are. I have been working in dairy farming for over thirty years and yours are the only hoof trimming video' s I watch because I my opinion you do a superb job 👍
Great explanation, Nate. Do you ever feel that the cows sense that you are there to help them? I really enjoy the obvious care you have for these animals. Thank you.
When the bleeding started at the grinding phase I was ready for there to be a wolf fang up there or something a lot more dramatic than an itty bitty pebble. An interesting trim, thanks for sharing!
Good gracious, the cows you treat are having a spa day! It’s very evident they are comfortable, and are thrilled to have the weight off the affected hoof. Speed, as you said, isn’t always appropriate.
People forget the value of doing things right the first time and not always being in a rush. Just keep doing things the the way you are. I love watching your videos.
I love that you take your time. I tried to watch another persons videos and the way he hacked at that poor cow was terrible. The cow was jerking her foot in pain with every swipe. He was cutting the corium recklessly and there was so much blood. But watching that poor cow try to jerk her foot away constantly made me sad. Good job Nate
Nate's got us all yhinking like the fish in the tank at the dental office in Finding Nemo: "Abscess; he's going for the chlorahexadine and a salicylic acid wrap" "He's been favoring the salicylic acid wrap lately"
Aside from your channel, I also watch another hoof trimming channel -- which will remain nameless -- and the cows that are worked on in that channel move quite a bit while getting trimmed. You can tell that you go as gently as possible, which also comes with all the years of experience you have compared to the other person on the other channel.
The person whom made the hurry up comment obviously doesn't know anything about being compassionate towards an animal that has a sore hoove! I only watch your videos because I can not watch the other hoof trimmers because they are so rough with the animals. I have truly admired you from the very first video I have ever watched of yours. You can genuinely tell that you care about helping the animals with as little pain as possible, not just hurrying & getting it done to get paid! 🐄 ❤🐄❤🐄
I love that you’re compassionate with the cows. I have seen other videos and they make me cringe when they are not gentle and you can see the hoof jumping and hear the cow mooing.
