Even if I still don't know why these videos are so interesting and fascinating to watch, this time, I looked at that crack and when your camera starts to go down to the foot, I thought to myself "has to be a white line defect" - well, even if I'm sure I never had to look after a cow's hoof, I learn something from your videos. Just by watching and relaxing to it. :)
You are so gentle. I love watching you care for these cows. Some of the other hoof guys are a bit rough and make them bleed often. You take your time, and it shows. Great job!
Most people who work with animals have to be calm and gentle. An angry or stressed person will upset the animal. In the case of cattle and horses, that's 1000+ lbs of NOPE.
What a gorgeous bit of film at the start of this video. Thanks for all you do in the editing Nate. Your videos continue to be the best hoof trimming ones on RU-vid by far.
@@sweettrubble4635 yeah this is the only channel I like. He just has a very genuine and calming personality. Also you can see the love he has for these animals.
Bravo! You know, when you watch as many of these as I (and a whole lot of other people) have, back to back, you start to sort of internalize some of the visual elements. I'll give you an example. The other day when I put on some sandals for the first time this year and swiftly developed a blister, I was walking slowly across the floor of my apartment, gingerly favoring the foot with the blisters, and I got a sudden and vivid mental image of one of your cows, Nate, lumbering carefully off after having been ministered to by you, nursing her hurt but healing hoof, and perhaps getting herself accustomed to a brand new green bandage. A hoof is a hoof, I say!
Dear Nate - You are always doing a perfect job. I think all the cows love you for helping them every time the best you can do. Like very much when you often pat them after having finished your job trimming their feet. You are simply the best. Your language is wonderful and so clear and easy to understand. Also like all your interesting comments. Watching here from Copenhagen, Denmark, Scandinavia. 🍀🐎♥️
Wow. From the amount of hoof separation, I expected this lesion to be huge, like the last one was. There's not even a ton of regrown corium, just a little sliver of a lesion!
I enjoy your videos so much more than the Hoof GP, you’re so much more gentle and you seem to really care about the well-being of the cows rather than it seeming forced. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Love seeing cows outside on green grass!! I hate it when they are stuck inside on cement all day. These girls are lucky to have you working on thier hooves 🐄🥰
I have no idea why I like these videos so much. I do want to say that after I watched a few I sought out other trimmers and didn’t like their videos at all. Thank you for continuing to be informative and not obnoxious
Great job as always, Nate. Cows can be entertaining creatures. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the cows in another awesome video. Stay safe and God bless.
AND YET ANOTHER GREAT ONE BUDDY!! And what a cutie of a patient today 😍 Love the little xtras you give us at the end or beginning, and the 100% great camera work!!! Thanks Nate!
I hate that it's at the cow's detriment. BUT Man, I love a good sole separation. Whole large chucks getting cut away. A bit macabre, but 🤷♀️. Glad. you're there to make them better!
Loved the cow pics!! Goodness, you really had to whittle on this girl's claw, she HAS to feel better now. She wasn't sure about your block tho, I think she was trying to fling it off! Tank you Nate, this was a good one
This may be a silly request, but can you explain how the grinder works? For me, this instrument so far looks like a simple ball-grinder with a special nozzle.
Question, if I may. It seems to me that a 'closed oval farrier hoof knife' would be useful in this situation to trim around the lesion, why wouldn't you use one? Great video! Thanks for doing the close up, better quality video clips.
@M Thanks for the kind note, M. Your "big dog" analogy I like. Simply observing them in the pasture shows cows to be highly social creatures which begs a certain degree of intelligence. I've heard they buddy up and form friendships. There may even be a pecking order amongst the herd? I drink lotsa milk. (Too bad Bob never had cows of his own.) Cheers, M ! 🇨🇦
I really want to grab that knife and give it a go whenever I watch these videos! I have seriously wanted to get cows since watching you so I can take care of them lol:)
Wonder if some of them think "I wish he'd put blocks of my other 3 hooves to balance me up." You better be careful they may ambush you and change one work boot for half a pair of heels 😂
Hey Nate... If possible I would like to see a follow up video on this cow if possible... Thanks... Keep making animals days a lot better after your expertise!!!
I learn something with each upload. Thanks a ton! Can you share again what you do if both sides of a foot have an infection? (In terms of the block and what not). I know you covered it once but don’t feel like searching for the video
This is why I live RU-vid, stuff like this and the hoof gp. There’s no way you’d know hoof trimming would be interesting unless you watched it and thanks to RU-vid, you can find stuff like this for free.
