I have no idea why this video was in my recommendations. But I'm so happy, that there are people like you who take care of the animals we keep for our benefit and not just let them suffer with what troubles they got. Keep up the great work!
My stomach twists & turns watching this and I'm so glad you're bringing relief and healing to this cow. It does seem as if the cow is appreciative at the end as well.
RU-vid, it's a long stretch between clinical toxicology and hoofwork. Oh, wait, maybe it's closer than I realized. Loved watching you as a professional, explaining clearly so even a first-time viewer undestands what you're doing and why. Another well-deserved subscription! Keep taking care, sir!
@@johnsullivan937 @boio I was watching Isaac Arthur's speculation on what would happen when SETI found communication from aliens. The almighty RU-vid algorithm works in mysterious ways. All hail the RU-vid algorithm!
One detail I found fascinating is the gentle way he dabs the blood off the hoof. It's obvious from that one small gesture how much he cares about these animals.
I believe that he actually does like these animals. Still he is supporting businesses that actively exploit them for their economic gain. This isn't moral and his career is not moral either, simply because these animals are condemmed to die from birth. They only exist to make money and when the hoof guy is too expensive they just kill the cow and move on.
Social media has taught me one thing. There are so many people out there that have talents I didn’t even know about. Fascinating. Well done, sir. Loved this.
@@sonyasever7625 As you should yourself probably realize, English is not everybody's first language, mine included. Because of that, the word 'talent' and 'expertise' are often intermixed and confused with one another. Even reading the sentence, it is, or rather should be, clear what the intended definition of Tina's use of 'talent' was, and talking down on someone just showing their respects to a profession they didn't know existed, for what essentially amounts to near-synonym word choice resulting in a somewhat crooked sentence, can come across as kind of disrespectful, if not outright abrasive. The good man probably worked hundreds if not thousands of hours to get where he currently is, not dozens, and talent absolutely exists, even if it only takes the form of prior life experience at the point of starting a profession. TL;DR: Don't nitpick someone on their choice of words, nor writing, when they're giving their compliments to someone deserving of it. After all, in your own words, every skill is learnt, ant talant doesn't exist, right? ;)
@@sonyasever7625 I very rarely ever make a comment. I was just amazed by this, and thought I would share. Maybe someone else felt the same. I’m sorry I offended you.
The thing that impresses me most and I appreciate most in your videos is how gentle you are. I live in the country and it is always nice to see people take care of animals. It is particularly nice to see when they have empathy for the animals and not view it as just a task to get done.
I'd like to think that animals have enough thought to know when humans are helping them. Further, I'd love to see the legal system get extremely tough with those that mistreat animals.
@@vectorm4 especially animals like cows who have been bonded to humans for so long like dogs and cows. there is a study that compares dogs vs wolves, the researcher puts a problem to the dog, the dog is next to the researcher and then inside a locked canister there is food, both have it difficult to open it, the wolf doesn't ask for help while the dog does ask for help to the human. just by having all these species with us for so many thousands of years they have evolved to be molded to us.
It felt like I'm watching someone gouging my nails, but I can't look away. I didn't even know there was a problem like this, but it's fortunate there are folks like you that specialize in it
I'm a knife nerd/enthusiast and only really watch hoof stuff when I re-stumble across this rabbit hole. Watching you cut that hoof with super minimal pressure of an obviously well sharpened knife is soooo satisfying. You can tell a lot about a person by the state of their tools. Well used and well maintained. High5.
Your videos really are a breath of fresh air on youtube. No nonsense, no music, just you doing what you do best and an explanation that's easy to understand. Love your content, Happy Thanksgiving!
Nothing wrong with GP, he does great work as well! I do prefer Nate's style of videos but to each their own. I'm sure others prefer GP's videos. In the end all that matters is that the animals are cared for.
Why am I addicted to cow hoof trimming videos?? The calm voice, the meticulous knife work, the caring attitude, the placid cow faces - I can't stop watching.
You're a good person for helping this cow you have no idea how much this actually meant not only for the cow but for a lot of animal lovers including me.
It's REALLY cool to see the modern technology and a machine that I never knew existed or was needed it makes me think of those YEARS well before our times how much caution one had to take doing this WITHOUT the assistance and really quite humbling the care it takes to make sure our hoofed friends are living a happy and comfortable life. Nice work man.
They’re big animals and if they wanna be in charge they easily can be. I have a buddy who dad got headbutt by one of his own cows a few months back. Broke his hip from it
@@joshuaspector8182I CAN ONLY imagine man, on a video I seen on Hoof GPs channel one of the bulls he was trimming the LITERAL size and mass of the BULL he was working on had me thinking that there would be VERY LITTLE or ANYTHING an average person could do to stop THEM from causing serious injury or pain hell even death to someone if they were mad or severely startled by someone or something.
@@EazyTheRecon A lot of this shit also happens because of the way they are bred / kept. In nature, defective breeding results in weak offspring which then becomes food. The strong survive and continue breeding choosing what they feel is a strong mate. We take it upon ourselves to breed certain aspects that we want into said animals and so we get cows that might produce tons more milk for instance but might be prone to hoof issues on top of like I said how we then keep them in pens and the like. Take dogs for example, breeding dogs with other species to try and get the features people want and you get a German Shepherd, overall decent dog but ends up with weak hips that cause it pain after a couple years, get bad owners that simply make them sit in a cage when they don't want to bother with them or lounge around the house and the process is expedited.
I love how she looks at you in the las part of the video, it was as if she said “oh that feels much better, thank you!” You can feel the satisfaction right away It is great care, great love for animals, great attention and overall great video ❤️ Keep up the good work!!
Why do these farmers let their cows go almost totally unable to walk bf they call the vet? My grandparents had a farm in Wisconsin and they never had hoof issues with their cows.
@@conniepfannerstill817 maybe your grandparents just didn’t care to check. It’s common and it’s from bacteria getting into it. So so common. I’m sure some of their cows had problems just they weren’t treated. That’s common too unfortunately. This guy takes better care of his animals then most people take care of their own kids.
Hard to believe that all that deep trimming didn’t seem to hurt the cow! She seemed much happier after though... how do you know to do all that stuff... amazing
The stuff that is being removed is like your nails. It is not live. During the video you will notice some small blots of blood. This is simply from touching the courium with the back of the knife. This is live and not cuts into that are made.
Not sure how I got onto your page but it was great to learn about your craft! The cow knew you were helping her ☺️ When you let her walk out and she looked back like ‘thank you’ ❤️
@@DinnerForkTongue having been around both my whole life, I can tell you that cows are not anywhere near as smart as a dog. But they are definitely smarter than most people give them credit for
Watching these vids is like hangin out with your cool uncle on his farm and watching him work. Just facinating and educational without being all up in your face, and helping out hurting cows just gives it a new level of wholesome
@@darrel-griffin No. they also do this for horses. It’s like getting your nails trimmed. It helps remove excess dirt and debris that may be stuck in there
Nate, I don’t think anyone has mentioned this before. Along with your gentle touch and professional care for the animals, I love that you wear safety gloves when working with the knives. You always strive to keep your animals and yourself safe! Your work is top notch! Thanks for sharing!
Imagine this cow's relief if she'd be sent to the sanctuary instead of the slaughterhouse once she can't give milk anymore. Why not give her this mercy?
My goodness that is the cleanest crusher I have ever seen. You are amazing Nate. Thanks for being such a nice caring hoof trimmer for the cows. Be well!
Your channel is the equivalent of what it would've been like a few hundred years ago to follow your parent or grandparent to their work. Just seeing someone experienced work their trade while explaining it to you. It's nice.
4.5 Million views!!!! You deserve it my friend. My grandfather was always picky who he’d let work on his cows, I know he’d have no problem letting you do it.
That's poor baby was shaking she was in so much pain! Nate you are amazing! Thank you for all you do! I wish you lived in Oklahoma I would most definitely hire you for ours.
@@Order-oe5ej Nah, I cracked a blatantly obvious joke and you got defensive about it instead of grasping that fact, and now you're trippling down. That's all that's happening here. Keep flipping it around though.
What a beautiful cow. I always feel relieved when in the end, cows realize, that their foot isn't hurting as badly as when they came under your care. Makes my day everytime
nate always seems to post when im rewatching his old videos haha! if you see this nate, keep up the great work! seeing you make these gorgeous cows feel better always makes my day
I don’t know how I’ve ended up here but it is really comforting to see that in this self-oriented and pressurized world there are still people who devote their lives to something - one could say - so simple yet so much needed.
You’re just the sweetest caretaker out there. I so love your gentle nature and true kindness with the cows, and am so happy I discovered your channel. Such a wonderful slice of humanity.
It's strangely compelling to watch, I guess part of it is knowing that the cow is being treated and on the way to recovery.....heart warming. Thank you 💕
Yo thank you so much for making all these cows happier. I don't really use this account for watching videos but when I made it, your videos got recommended to me, and I couldn't help it. I've been watching these every time I check this account and I always love them. Have a good one.
After watching these videos for a while, you definitely start to see a pattern with each problems and might even be able to figure em out yourself! But even then, these hoof trimmers always are able to spot nuance situations where you absolutely shouldn’t follow the typical pattern, not to mention the actual skill it takes to make such precise cuts. Love the work these people do ❤️
@@lija_leza First hand experience is the key difference. No matter how much we see, they have the advantage, since they're actually there and have been for ages. We barely see a sixth of their work and it amazes us already, imagine being there and working!
The key to having sound animals is sound feet, full mobility is a must for animals, standing around on damaged feet isn't good for the other limbs having to compensate, love this care taken to keeping everything happy, brilliant work fella
I had seriously considered looking into doing this, but I cant stand the cold either. Thanks for taking care of all these beautiful moo-pups in the cold so I dont have to. Love the content!
First time I’ve watched you! I accidentally found your video. I’m a city girl working in healthcare but this was Fascinating!! You’re like a podiatrist for cows. Loved watching this!! Great work! I wonder how she kept still for you
I bet she feels alot better it's like she turned around to tell you thanks ❤I'm glad you show the out come and explain how she went about getting that way ❤
Show this video to everyone who says that animals don't feel pain. She even gave her saviour a look of gratitude at the end. I hope this cow is doing well now.
I mean, I don't think anyone said that animals don't feel pain, otherwise every animal would be extinct lol. Pain and fear are integral to survival. I think what they have said is that they feel pain differently due to their smaller brain and neural pathways.
@@0Ciju0 many people believe that animals don't feel any pain or even have feelings, which is incredibly stupid to think, as the animals that don't feel pain are often aquatic or insects but not mammals
I have watched some hood trimming videos before, your videos really stands out for the amount of care you show to those cows. They are lucky to have someone like you to take care of their injuries. You are the angle in their lives. God bless you
@@pascalschmierer3035 Not anyone is vegetarian, people still need to eat beef, but that doesn't mean we can not humanely treating them when they are alive, most of cows are killed with quick and human ways. It is unrealistic to ask all people to become vegetarian.
Nate… Please pass on your experience and skills to a new generation. Without succession planning led by experts like you, our animals down the line will be in for a world of hurt. THANK YOU, FOR WHAT YOU DO !
Makes me think of my grandfather. He took care of cows throughout my childhood and I often went with him and fed them and got the gates when we had to bring in the water truck. Thank you so much for what you do.
@@pascalschmierer3035 lol actually I am not. My food shits on what vegans eat. But if a person is vegan I certainly don't look down on them. To each their own.
First video. I’m hoofed lol. You are amazing and that machine you have to help you with the cow must’ve cost a pretty penny. So cool. And you’re also amazing for the love and care you give to theses animals.
I was born and raised a city boy. I've never had any experience or interest in this kind of thing, but your videos are absolutely fascinating for some reason. It's a beautiful thing, to help a helpless animal
Watching this video brought me so much joy. Great job Nate! Seeing you give her relief in her hoof was such a great experience to watch. Your videos are so calming and you don’t force anything I love it. Happy holidays to you & everyone else watching this video!
Something so rewarding about seeing a human help an animal in distress. Just so comforting. Great explanation and awesome execution of your treatment. 👍🏼
I wasn't expecting to see this type of video on my feed but I'm glad that I had a chance to see it. Its nice to see there's people out there that care about the well being of these creatures.
I love that you always explain what you're doing, and why. You don't assume everyone has always been here and knows! I've been watching for a couple of years now- surprised I wasn't subscribed already. I love your work, and your voice is so soothing. Thank you for the educational and entertaining content!
Great work! You seem to care so much for the animals you work with, making their care and comfort a priority. And by employing you, these farmers show how much they also care about their animals!
Happy Thanksgiving to each and every fan of Nate's healing hands, of which I am grateful for! And Nate... 🎉 CONGRATULATIONS with 600.000 Subscribers! 🎉 You have earned them all !! 🎉
I'm glad you know what you're doing bud, I don't know why this was in my recommended videos but I watched the whole thing. I wouldn't know where to start doing something like this, it must have taken ages to train but thank God people like yourself care enough for these animals to help them.
My first ever hoof video and I’m strangely addicted. I think it’s the care you give, the narration and the explanations for newcomers like me. Excellent!
