We DEFINITELY Need to Investigate These CRACKS!!! 

Why did I start watching this channel? I'm a city boy. I've never been on a farm in my life. I've already seen at least 50 of Nate's videos, and I can't stop. I do appreciate his kindness and care he shows these animals.

It amazes me how ferocious cows' immune systems must be. If we had a substantial lesion exposed to those conditions, we'd get gangrene, sepsis, or any number of other conditions. With cows, you just spray it down with chlorhexidine or iodine, apply salicylic acid if necessary, put on a block to keep weight off it, and they're generally good to go.

Hoof trimming isn’t just a science, it’s also an art form ... & your precise, controlled, & surgical skills stand out among other hoof trimmers‼️ you’re the Michelangelo of your profession‼️

Nate, I watch a lot of different hoof trimmers on video. You’re a SKILLED surgeon!! Very precise & controlled!! Excellent technique‼️

Knife work always amazes me. Yesterday The HoofGP posted a video of a white line crack that was full of stones! He mentioned how the stones can really mess with the knife edge. Makes me wonder how many knives you have and how often to you have to sharpen them? Do they last a while and do you tweak the curvature to suit your style of trimming?

I started watching your channel and thought it was awesome so I started to watch other trimmers and just couldn’t… you are sooooo gentle with these girls and anyone else I have watched I just don’t see as much gentleness with their handling Not that they’re doing a bad job it’s just nothing compared to how well you treat these girls ❤️

Man your so smooth with taking off the horn without causing a bloody massacre on the ulcer, PROPS man lots of them

It’s nice to see how much you care about these animals and gentle you are.

I notice it looks different when its separated than when its healthy and connected. When its loose horn, it looks rubbery instead of firm.

I've been kind of binging your videos and have subsequently been suggested similar channels. I prefer your videos because of the easy to understand explanations you offer, the gentle way you treat the cows, and all of the disinfectant you use (Idk why it bothers me when other people don't disinfectant). You're content is great and I just wanna say thanks for putting this stuff out here.

I stumbled upon your videos and couldn't stop watching. I've seen other trimmers since I started watching yours and im not sure quite yet why I dont enjoy their content the way I enjoy yours. So your now the only trimming channel I watch 🥰. Thank you for your gentle professional skills with these beautiful animals. All animals deserve the care and love you put into these cows. Your amazing thanks also for sharing your skill with the world.

I find it so interesting how a flesh and blood part of her leg has cells that turn it into something that is hard and thick as in her hoof. I wish I knew more about that part of it. 🧐

Man I literally stumbled across your videos and now I’m hooked onto your channel. I do overnight shifts and this is so fun to watch. Thanks Nate!

I accidentally started watching the Hoof GP and next thing you know, here I am....binging your videos. You're so amazing at your job and we appreciate you sharing with us. I'd be willing to bet that most of us never thought we would one day be pausing videos and diagnosing white line defects on cows .

Those are some scary caverns in the hoof! Nicely explained and filmed, thank you for helping this pretty girl! 💗

My country is in lockdown due to covid so I'm working from home. Instead I just watched 10 of your videos. This is so facinating! Didn't even know cows had these issues.

I would love to shadow a trimmer like yourself for a day. The Attention to detail, tactile work, and patience. I live for the repetition. That’s why I work groundskeeping, I could ride a mower all day. Would you consider this type of work to be meditative at all?

I am not sure how I got to your channel, but I am glad I am here. I have never been on a farm, but I do love cows. It makes my heart so happy with the care and love you have for these cows. I will continue to watch, grow and learn from your videos.

I don't have cattle, don't even have land but I love watching you help these cattle with their feet. I've watched others but they just don't have the same gentle, calming voice and manner.

Thanks 👍 I'd always thought the pink area was flesh. Thanks for the teaching.

Hi Nate. You mentioned 50,000 subscribers in the video. I'm watching this one on 9/5/2022 and you're well over 575,000! Good for you because I love to watch you work. Best hoof man on the tube!

You’ll blow past 50,000 in no time!! Congratulations on getting this far, though! I love the slow,steady pace you take the work and explanations for us. Makes me wish I could pet the cow and tell her what good hands she’s in😂

I love it when you show some footage before and after the treatment- of the farm and the cows (especially when you give them a skritch) 😀

I’m just wondering how often do cows actually get a injury that needs surgery like this? Love your work and the way you care about each cow! Everything deserves respect and love!!!❤️

You should have way more than 50k of subscribers!! So informative!!

I had no idea cows had these kind of problem with their feets.

Not sure why RU-vid recommended this channel… but man, for some reason this is relaxing as heck. Thanks for doin what you do, and sharing, Nate!!

I'm glad you take your time and explain everything you are doing. I also like the fact you are gentle with these cows even though I've heard it said they don't feel anything...👀👀🤔🤔

Great job. Its so amazing to see how comfortable she is after she leaves the chute. Have a good weekend.

This was a good, involved issue. Happy the channel is getting close to 50k! Best hoof trimmer on RU-vid!

These are the most professional films, I can learn a lot, I am very impressed with the calm and determination.

Getting close to 50K subscribers.. it's at 405K 8 months later. Good content and good format, every video is high quality. Well deserved subscriptions.

Nice explanations of your process for the cows hoof care. Use of the sprayer to clear debris was good to see!

Why wouldn’t you normally wrap a sole fracture? The ulcer is still an open wound being exposed to the environment. From a healing perspective, wouldn’t wrapping it be better?

You'll hit 50k in no time, I'm rooting for ya!

I started watching this and it helps me rest. It's nice to see someone aiding cows the way you do

Nate, you're a treasure to this community! Thank you for sharing your talents

2:51 i love the little nose peeking in the upper left hand corner 😍 so curious and adorable

Thanks Nate for the education, I think I was rolling around in your area this week.

funny thing is that i never plan to do this in my life for any reason but i find myself fascinated and can' t help but keep watching lol

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole with these videos. But I can definitively say that your are by far the least aggressive with your blade. Appreciate the care you take with the cows.

youre my favorite trimmer :) no annoying music or cuts to things i dont care about.

So interesting and very insightful, Nate. Thank you for your great narrating!

Why do other trimmers torch the sole before applying the block and you don’t? You’re so good with the cows. You explain things well. Thank you allowing us to listen to the farm sounds in the background.

How many years have you been doing this Nate? Amazing amount of knowledge. I grew up on a farm with a couple of milk cows and some angus cows for beef. I don't ever recall us having a cow with hoof issues but I know the dairy farm I worked on would have one once in awhile.

The last week or so of my life has been deciding to break the hoof trimming video marathon, only to come back to it a couple videos later.....

All I watch is arm wrestling videos but a few days ago youtube showed me nate the hoof guy now im addicted to these videos of seeing living potatoes getting peeled and fixed up

Dude your cuts are so much deeper than the other guy! Very satisfying seeing how much you can chunk out Much love ❤💚💛

Yet again Nate, excellent video. You have a knack for keeping me completely engaged throughout. Great work!

I love watching your knife cut away the loose horn. Awesome. Thanks!

How you described in detail why and what you were doing and then what the next step would be. Very informative. Thank you.

I just love the cattle looking almost dumbfounded and the started to walk normally, it so cute ☺️

You always do such a fantastic job; the cows are lucky to have you.

You are very gentle which is good to see

You do a great job of explaining what you're doing and why.

What happens if there are lesions on both halves of the hoof? How do you keep them both clean during the healing process?

I love that curious cow nose in the background.

I love the nosy neighbor to the left in this video lol. So cute

Sorry, Nate - I came here from the Hoof GP and so, had to sing an intro song for your video!🤷‍♀️ Great job - crack on, lad!😁

love to watch you, every night. Thank for saving this wonderful cows, and Bulls. Thank you for posting this interesting program

Fabulous work. It so good to see it being fixed!

A year ago you were close to 50k and now you're close to 650k subs. Well done and congrats

He is the most gentle hoof guy

With this angle I stressed the entire time that he was going to get his cord lol

Nice and neat, as always. If i ever loose my mind and buy a dairy, i know what id want in a hoof trimmer!

I just love how delicate he is with every cow

That was seamless. 😳😶 Beautiful work, how you use your knife is mesmerizing... Not a single drop of blood. So many others cause bleeding... It may be minor, but it still means you knicked em. Yours was refreshingly clean. 😊

U r so gentle with the cows I like that

Excellent knife work, true artistry, Nate! Thank you for your videos👍👍⭐

I love the cow in the edge of the video looking in curiously to see what's going on with her pal. 😅

I'm glad to see that you aren't tugging on loose horn. Some trimmers do that and it feels like a perfect way to make a cow bleed.

"Getting close to that 50k subscriber mark" 6 months later, you are over 305k

Another lucky lady on the mend thanks to your careful work. Maybe you have explained this and I missed it, but what makes up that dark mud looking matter you uncover inside the hoof? Since it is many times covered by horn which would prevent anything entering from the outside, is it formed from matter already inside the hoof?

At around 4:50 it sounded like Nate had a stroke from all those complicated words. Seemed funny. It's great to see this human side of Nate.

Glad. You're. So. Patient. And. Not stingy faith the. Disinfectant. Spray. Or. Wraps.

And the surgeon enters the room 😳 you’ve done this before!!! 20 moo points 🐄 for this one Nate 👍👍

I was sitting here holding my breath the entire time just waiting for you to draw blood. I've seen so much awful foot trimming on RU-vid I was preparing for the worst. When I didn't see any blood I was shocked in the most positive way possible.

The talent you have with that knife is impeccable 👌

Salysalic acid is just pure ♥️

You are sooo good with that knife! Happy 🐮 feels better

I was just wondering if hoof problems correlate to heirarchy in the herd? Do lower status cows end up with more problems?

Great job. Amazing how nature can heal all living things. With a little help from you she will be in great shape soon.

Been watching you for bit now. I just 'subbed'...

Idk why these are in my recommendos, but thanks...😒..Im addicted now...😂

Woah, this cow's leg is thick, it's probably the first cow I've seen in this channel so far which didn't need the padding on the leg hook thingy.

Best hoofing channel!

Is this a re-upload? I'm getting de ja vu for some reason, but I rewatch your videos anyway so I'm happy either way 😁 Thank you for posting! Great video as always.

Knife work is superb, you are a master sir!!!!😁😁👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You are great in your job. Congratulations. I have 2 questions... How much aproximately cost your workingstation? Always happens accidents... Have you injured a cow by mistake?

People do make me chuckle when they are so worried about sanitation. The cows relieve themselves in the chute....getting on you sometimes and they literally walk around in muck.

Great, precise knife work there, Nate!🔪 And ofcourse the Close Up!!!! 👀God Bless and I love your channel...🙏🏼♥️👋🏼🇨🇦😂 Keep on helping the Moo Moo’s out!😂🐄

So getting close to 50K subs at the time of this video - and now 337K Great videos!!! 🙏👏🏻

Entertaining and informative as always! Thanks so much for the great videos!

Wow, you were at 50k six months ago and now you're at 320k. Well deserved!

I hope you can share some after care videos.

Blew away that 50k subscribers.

Oh man, that perfect circular peel followed by a spray down 😮‍💨👌 so satisfying! What’s wrong with my brain lol

I.... Can't stop watching....

Wow. 8 months ago you were hoping for 50k and now you're at 375k. Amazing! Yes, you're that good/interesting.

...Good find, another cow with a better foot..stay safe..
