it amazes me how often that happens..some take a tentative step , have a look at the foot then back at the cage and Nate and you can tell they know that Nate fixed it...theyre not daft.
I always like it when they take a couple steps and look back at you. I know nothing about how a cow perceives the world (ie: a dog knows humans can and do fix things for them) but it always seems to me they look back like "did you do that?"
If you like longer form videos, Green Forest Life is very soothing. His videos are about an hour long, and it's just a Vietnamese farmer guy going around doing farmer stuff.
Love your videos Nate! Great camera work, great knife work ! Clear audio and cuts right to the chase. No long drawn out songs, no soap opera drama, just the information we need and the stuff we want to see.
Hi I am Carine from Europe not to be confused with the " Karens" in USA and I just love men with an honest job and caring about it. Thank you so much Nate
After learning about this over time, hands down NATE, you’re a complete professional…. Clean, precise, and confident. Wish there were more like you out there. I bet the cows do too. Thank you for the ongoing experience. 😊
Geeeeeze, I already watch these videos to relax and fall asleep and now there’s A FAN IN THE BACKGROUND?! I give myself 3 minutes TOPS before I’m passed out cold.
After watching for a while, I now get all kinds of recommendations for many different "hoof" sites. Some are from out of country. The differences in the degree of professionalism are striking. I don't know how some of them do it, sometimes they seem barbaric. No doubt, they too must want to help the animals. You darn sure have the knowledge, equipment and... some **really sharp knives**. Makes a huge difference - the right tools for the job.
Hi Nate, i love watching your videos... they are informative and you have such a soothing way of communicating. As a completely naive individual to cow hoof care, i was wondering how these issues would have been resolved before the advent of human intervention ? Would these poor cows have been doomed? How are these issues resolved for hooved animals in the wild today? ❤
Happy Sunday morning (8am) Nate & Family. Thank you for my early morning education with the first coffee of the day! It's blue sky and sunshine here in the Welsh Marches, wishing you all a good week.
Hi Nate! I just want to say that I really love watching your hoof trimming videos! Listening to you as you trim the cows is very soothing. I have a question for you. I know you sometimes model out the center area of hooves, but how come you don't do it on all of your trims? I was just curious. Hope to hear from you on your next video. And I hope you're having a great day!
Thank you for your lovely and informative videos, Nate. I'm in the middle of moving house and I was looking for some ASMR to calm me and help me sleep, but then I saw your video and it has worked much better!! Night night, and see you in the next one 😊
So what did they do prior to all the crushes, and saws, etc. When did Hoof trimming become a thing? It's absolutely fascinating, especially for those of us that have never even SEEN a cow up close. It just got me wondering what they USED to do to help cows? Thanks Nate! LOVE your channel!!! ❤
See like, idk how I found myself on this side of youtube- but I did and I am enjoying every minute of it. This is amazingly relaxing and educational to me lol. Good on you for taking care of these animals!
Based on how much fluid came out and where you were pressing, it seems like the cavity continues to extend beyond where you trimmed. It even looked that way on the close up. Am I seeing things or did I miss something?
I can't say for certain, but i would guess that the horn is not fully detached in those areas and timing it away would do nothing but damage healthy corium.
I'm curious if you sanatize your tools between cows or farms. Why or why not? Also, wanted to tell you that I found out clorahexadine is commonly used at vet offices for cleaning surfaces, tools and treating certain wounds and skin issues. Its also one of the more commonly used cleaning products used for people who keep reptiles. F10 is probably the biggest alternative but its way more expensive and i don't think it can be used to cleans wounds. Super interesting!
Nate has a distinct cadence to his speech. I’ve also noticed that he almost never says the word “the.” It’s almost always “that” or “those.” Now you’ll never be able to unhear it, sorry.
Hey Nate! Another great video! One question, though. I noticed when you applied pressure that the hoof appeared to drain from the top of the foot where your fingers were. Was there damage on top as well?
Question- do you need to disinfect the blade before working on another cow? Is dermatitis contagious in animals when using the same tools? Also cute wrap color for the ladies! I like it👍🏽😄
How many pairs of gloves do you go through in a day? How often do you need to change them or wash or whatever? Can you add that to your faqs at some point please. Thank you.
Just seems like there’s a lot that could have been removed around the lesion toward the middle of the hoof. It just looks like a deep cavity is left, which is going to collect stuff, right?
I have a few questions! Why are all of your trimmed cows drooling? Is that okay? Do you wash your knife, after you use it to clean dirt from hoof? Doesn't a knife with dirt on it cause more infection on infected claw? How do you keep it all hygienic and do you need to do that at all?
What made you use the squirt bottle to rinse off? Usually you don’t do that because you haven’t identified the need to clean it off until you’ve investigated.
So after watching some of your shorts I've started have a question now i COULD google it but you seem like a more reliable source Does the cow or any hooved animal have nerves in their hooves? It doesn't look like it but i wanna ask just to be sure
How does this heal in the wild? I guess not only domestic hoof animals have such white line defects. Do the suffer until they die, or doesn't happen to them?
I have no problem with the fans in the background, I expect background noises for this environment and situation. I'm just happy there isn't music over it, isn't my thing.
Hey Nate I have a question for you...I watch all your vlogs and I also watch The Hoof GP... Why is it that cows and bills always have issues with their outside claws and more the insides??
