Not tryna start a fight but I love you😩😆 i know lots of people in the space have love for what you do, so just sharing it through this comment as the super chat service isn't available to me. Keep up the great work and stay healthy and blessed🌻 Edit: spelling
That poor cow must’ve felt immediate relief the second you reached the infected area and all of that fluid shot out. I’m always amazed at how the tiniest stone can cause so much damage to the point where the entire claw has separated.
It's because the cows are kept indoors rather than pasture. On turf, any pebble they would step onto would get pushed into the dirt. But on hard flooring, the stones push into the hooves instead. And those pebbles likely have fecal matter on them which speeds up infection. An unfortunate side effect of the industry.
"It's pretty obvious where this problem is" Me: Yep, clearly that big hole in the middle of the outsi.. "right in that toe section on the inside claw" Me: Exactly what I was about to say!
Hi Nate! I am not a farm girl and I am 72 years old. My first exposure to this hoof education was with The Hoof GP in Scotland. I got hooked and I was delighted to be introduced to a Wisconsin hoof trimmer. as that is my native state. I am now in Michigan. I have already learned additional information from you, Nate The Hoof Guy. I really appreciate how you present your thoughts and technique on each deserving animal. I have now watched four of your videos and plan on viewing many more. Thanks for your hard work.
i thought i'd end up on some clickbaity and annoying youtuber video but this channel has been nothing but a simple and honest channel. so relaxing and very insightful. thanks nate!
Poor girl! And the fact that she's going to calf soon, oof. Being pregnant is hard enough without a sore foot like that!! I'd love to see her recovery!
@@SuperNuclearUnicorn cattle is the general term for the animal, cow refers to female cattle more or less, steer is for castrated male cattle, and bull is for intact male cattle. Most people just say cows to refer to cattle (the animal)
Man wasn't exaggerating when he said it sprayed 😂 but it's nice to see these sweeties get good care and how he talks about it shows he cares too. This is both fascinating and educational. I'm glad that these girls recover so well 💖
My goodness she had a doozie of a painful claw. I cannot imagine how good it must’ve felt to get that infection out, she was walking better going outta the crush than she was going in. Great job as always Nate.
Yes! I'm looking at the claw, and think OMG, that's going to take some time healing THAT spot. Starts working on the other claw with the tiniest spot I wouldn't even be able to see without my glasses. I feel so foolish, I have to glance around my bedroom to make sure no one is looking at how stupid I am. (I live alone...but, shame is shame, and it always feels the same) I might have to wear a paper bag over my head for a week, so nobody can see my shame.
As I have said earlier, our of all the hoof trimmers out there on youtube, there is none as careful and methodical like you. I deeply respect and love your work. Kudos Nate!!
Aspiring Vet Tech here, I'm getting a jump on the large animal portion of my internship for college, thank you so much for the informative videos! I love that you talk us through exactly what you're doing and how it happened etc. Best wishes from the midwest :)
I really enjoy how you have no music and focus on the hoof itself almost the whole time. It’s less of a “me” show and just focused on the issue, with an occasional shot of the surroundings and cows relaxing. Such a soothing voice, too.
I agree! At times, The music is really distracting, and also can become annoying. Not everyone likes the same style of music. There have been times when I have turned the sound off, because I find it very bothersome. Of course then I don’t get to hear them explain exactly what they’re doing.
@@c.w.k.n.5117 The Hoof GP seems to be a genuinely kind lad, full of beans with an accent I really enjoy. But his videos are more dramatised and closer to a life vlog. I much more prefer the simpler, more focused and relaxing format of Nate’s episodes. It doesn’t take away from the work Graeme is doing.
@@paular6547 I think ur the first commenter I can show some respect lmao I found the Hoof GP’s videos on hoof trimming first so I owe it to him getting me into the content, & while I watch less of him today & more of Nate I don’t just go around bashing on him for having a different style of doing this complicated job. Have a wonderful day! :)
Such a tiny thing caused so much pain. Would that we could all be as careful with each other as you are with these cows. I'm sure it was instant relief for her, thank you

That poor heifer must have been in a lot of pain it is good to see that she has been treated by someone who knows what they are doing thanks for posting
This poor cow! The infection spread so far in just a matter of days! The fact that she was still in some pain even after your careful treatment shows how bad it was. Glad you were able to give her some relief.
Thank you for being so gentle with this Beautiful Lady!!😘 I can only imagine the relief she must feel , even at this early stage of healing. She has a big job ahead. Bringing her new calf into the world! So grateful that you were able to help her!☺️🥰
Thank you for your knowledge, experience and passion for helping these animals and improving their lives! That was a lot of pus coming out and I'm sure the cow feels a lot different, even though sore, better than before!
When you pulled that tiny stone it was like tip of an iceberg. Underneath was a big mess. Poor thing would have been in so much pain. Luckily for her she met an expert. As always great work Nate.
Thank you for helping her and for caring about all of these animals. It broke my heart to see her limping so badly, but you expertly brought her much more comfort.
It always amazes me that the cows are able to walk back into their regular environment after Nate treats them without their little feets getting hella infected
Gosh dangit! This got worse with each cut of the knife, revealing unbelievable damage. To me the hoof looked perfectly fine. I didn't see that one coming. Outstanding work, if I may say so. Also, I love your way of commenting. No music, just plain and clear explanation of what we're looking at. This is really interesting. I grew up in a small village with less than 500 citizens, but six, or seven full time and part time farmers (late sixties through the seventies, but I just don't recall ever seeing a hoof trimmer. Greetings from Germany.
Different times and all that. And yeah, I like how there's none of that jerking around and especially none of that disinterest in actually keeping the cow comfortable like with the other hoof butchers.
And, Nate's voice is so calm and soothing. I watch these videos when I'm stressed...instant relaxation. Wow, I love to see comments from other countries. Greeting to Germany, from Oregon, USA.
Always amazes me how something so small could create so much pain. An analogy I’ll definitely use to equate a scenario in my life sometime. Looking forward to following her progress. I hate seeing them in pain. I admire you guys so much for doing this.
Ok, so now I'm a pimple popping, foot doctor watching, sheep shearing watching hoof watcher! You are so gentle and loving to these beautiful animals! Never have I even thought about cows having this done, and now I've watched 5 videos, and you've hooked me!
Awww. That sweet girl probably felt a ton better as soon as the pressure was released from the infection. It’s amazing how something so small caused a massive issue in just mere days! AND while caring for her calf! One tough momma! Thank you for taking such great care of her! ❤️

You’re such a kind hearted man. The world could use more like you!!!! Thank you for sharing your career that is actually very interesting! When I need a lift, I just listen to your videos. Your voice is so comforting, no wonder those cute cows are calm 🐄❤️ All the best to you 🙏🏼
The fact I am learning things I'll never need to know is fab tbh. Poor lady, hopefully she recovers quickly and in time for her to calf. Thank you for another awesome video Nate 💖
The fun part of learning is that you never know when you're gonna need something you've learned! There have been many times I needed something I'd randomly learned on a whim!
@@camo770 You could still use it without doing a trim! Who knows, you could have just any random encounter with a cow, notice something that maybe you wouldn't have noticed before, and be able to let the owner/carer know that hey, you should *really* get that looked at. Maybe they'll be new to the whole thing, first time cow keeper or something, and you could end up doing a solid good deed for all involved 🥰 In any case, it's also just satisfying as all hell to watch these, at least with Nate 💖
I would love to attend a seminar with courses taught by you, MidWestern, HoofGP, and TecTV. You all have your own technique and style, your individual methods of doing things, but you are all united by the philosophy that the cow's comfort and healing is most important.
Would love to see a follow up on this girl, your work was brilliant and so careful as always but it's still hard to see her limp and know she's still in pain! Would love to see the results of the great work you do x
The tiniest stone caused the biggest infection I ever saw in videos like this. Cows are such lovely and precious animals and I’m happy that people like you take care of them with such patience and love.
I feel like if Nate were to trim my fingernails... he'd get to about my elbow and then say, "Ah, there it is, this guy swung a Tennis racket incorrectly 25 years ago. He'll feel much better now." J/k, you are amazing at what you do, and it is a pleasure to watch a master at his craft.
I'm like thats gonna need a block! And I just love the fact that your tools are so sharp! It looks so effortless but I'm sure your hands are sore at the end of the day. Thanks for helping all these animals Nate you rock out with your salicylic acid out:)
All the others that I've checked out seem to make a massive bloody mess of the poor cows' hooves every time. Nate seems to be the only one who is really careful. Careful in the literal sense of the word; full of care for the cow's pain.
@@mcsmith732 I agree. I've watched some other channels, and I've had to turn my head to the side, they were that brutal. And, the other ones I've watched... it seems to be 'just a job' for them. But it isn't that with Nate. He seems to truly care for the cows, knows what he's doing, and is SO gentle. I'm sure the cows are thrilled when they see Nate coming, just knowing they'll get such relief. Cows: Get in line girls, Nate is here! Other cows: HEY...no cutting in line. Cow...but I WAS 5th in line, she took my spot!
It’s heartbreaking seeing from how she’s walking how much pain she’s in. I’m so glad there are good people looking after the feet/hooves of these cows.
I appreciate you showing us what you put in the title. Some creators will lie about what's in the video to get views, not Nate. That's part of what I really enjoy about this channel, and just how insanely satisfying it is to watch hoof trims.
The way you make it look so easy and lighthanded when I know you are applying a lot of pressure to get those thin layers is mesmerizing. Your matter of fact approach and complete explanations are great.
Nate, you're a treasure. Thank you for showing such kindness to these animals and for being so gentle with them when you know how much pain they're in.
Another fascinating video. I have no idea how i stumbled across you but Im grateful for the You Tube algorithms. The care, consideration and expertise you demonstrate is incredible Nate.
Always satisfying I know I’m not alone when I say that it’s wonderful to see you proceed so slowly and take such care as you approach any lesion to ease pain etc and make the girls lives more comfortable. Again, thanks for the relaxing moment as I lie here on my couch on a sunny Saturday afternoon! 👍🏻🙏
Awesome video and it goes to show what a tiny stone can do, it's bad enough when we have a stone in our shoe and we walk on it but imagine a cow with all her weight and carrying a calf too! The discomfort is unimaginable. Great work Nate job well done!
You can tell this farmer takes very good care of his cows! Look at how clean their facility is and how clean the cows hooves are 🥰🥰🥰 all of the farms you have visited so far in this channel are so neat and clean! And of course to do an amazing job with the cows.
She didn't even flinch!! He's so damn good at this man!! He's the best there is. If this was a diff trimmer...I'd have to turn it off bcuz I couldn't stand watchn the poor girl bleed n get all cut the hell up!! But bcuz he's so gentle n considerate w his cows-- I can watch til the end n feel happy knowing she's feeln better immediately
Oh wow, I felt the instant relief that lil girl must have felt, I hope she will get better soon, the process of healing would be very interesting^^ Btw thanks a lot, your videos calm me down every evening when I cant sleep :) Greetings from germany 🤗
I've tried listening to Nate as I fall asleep too, because of his soothing voice. I lay my head down on my pillow and close my eyes, then he'll say ' Now look at this sole separation, the bacteria has caused a lot of damage to the...' I instantly pop up out of bed to see it. This becomes a vicious circle, then...I can't sleep and am on a binge-watch until the wee hours of the night. LOL
It really felt like once she walked in she knew she gonna be treated, and I'm sure it's thanks to how you always treat them! You treating them with such gentleness and kindness is the reason why I can't watch any other hoof videos, the way you treat the cows is the best and most pleasing to watch
My god, that was a juicy one. I can’t imagine how pain she was in. Thank you very much for taking care of these beautiful girls Nate. I’m sure she’s under enough stress being a first time mother, anything you can do to help her out will make her life easier :)
I finally figured out why I watch this type of video. It is so removed from my own work throughout my life that it lulls me into a quiet place. I haven't eaten cow or pig since 1980 because back then the amount of hormones and antibiotics used was very excessive. I quit when I became pregnant with my only child. Anyway, as a wildlife rehabber, taking care of animals always makes me feel good. Thus when I see someone caring for animals, my body relaxes and my mind just feels right. Thanks, Nate!!
Maybe she was still uncomfortable but it looked much better Thx for the video Your finesse leaves one comforted to know the girls are treated with care! 👏🏻🙏
@@LaynieFingers well, I suppose even a pin sized hole on a foot that doesn't heal (because the stone is there) would get infected a lot too if it was dragged through mud and cow dung (literally) for several days.
I've re-watched this video a few times, and it never ceases to amaze how much fluid can build up in these hooves and under such great pressure. When the void is breached by the knife, it just geysers out. It must surely give the cow a lot of relief to get that fluid out. Must feel like walking on a huge blister or something!
Thank you Nate for helping so many cows! By how they look, you obviously take good care of them! I never thought I would be so interested in cows getting pedicures lol!
Dear Nate, Thank you so much for treating the cows so kindly! Some of the other "people" treat them like it's a joke. If I had cows, I would find someone like you, who I sense is a good man!!!
Poor baby looks like she's in a lot of pain. Watching these hoof videos helped me to "cure" my split finger nail. I shaved down my nail to the live tissue and now it grows back normal. Thank you!
It’s amazing how much damage a tiny shard of rock can do, and in just a few days. And it was obviously in about the worst place it could be. I hope we’ll see a follow-up on this poor girl, and that she’s feeling better real soon.
You're alot better than the others on youtube that do this. Your knife is sharp and cuts are clean and smooth. The other guy is so choppy and messy. Good job Nate.
Another great job of showing your expertise! I’m still in awe when you find a problem I couldn’t see even when right in front of me. You’re a good diagnostician and I love how you explain why you do or do not do something.
I never knew cows could be affected by these infections i ask my mother who is 86 grown up on a farm if her father ever did this. Her answer was yes and she would help him also and that open another story by mother was able too tell me about her childhood year's on a farm so thank you. It was wonderful too hear my mother talk about her on experience with taking care of cows
