[@pamgalloway]

One thing about working with large animals, you work as quietly and as gently as possible. Prudent pace, yes, but fast and quick startles and unsettles these animals. You're a credit to your industry, Sir.

[@themessenger4208]

Some people don't care about the comfort of an animal. This is also the indication of someone who cares only about themselves. Thanks for taking your time with these incredible creatures. I always marvel at your gentleness with them.

[@steventvrdik4503]

Eeweeeee😊

[@yolandawatson884]

I totally agree with you. I can't stand to watch some of these videos because they are too rough, impatient and uncaring.

[@Indi_51]

Do u eat those cows?

[@bouzaziayoub3980]

Ya vegin boy 😂😂😂😂

[@youiswhoyouis3304]

Nate's got us thinking we've got a PhD in bovine hoof trimming....😂😂😂

[@cheryl8386]

😂😂 True enough

Good to know we got this, team 😂

[@Cerbera66]

👍😆

[@Ian_sothejokeworks]

Teamwork makes the dream work! 😂

[@kathrynjohnston1151]

I follow several hoof trimmers, and Nate is one of my absolute favorites BECAUSE of his gentleness and BECAUSE he takes the time necessary to ensure the animal is as comfortable as a reasonable level of care can make it. And there's not a damned thing "wrong" with that. And speaking as both a woman AND as if I were a cow, I'm choosing and sticking with the man who "takes his time" EVERY TIME. 😉 Great job, as always, Nate!

[@shakespeareinstilettos3373]

Whoever made that comment about hurrying up was a TROLL. Us OG fans know the love and compassion you have for every cow that comes in your crush. ❤

[@davyt0247]

And not hurrying also makes it less likely that mistakes are made.

[@debbielove5993]

Whoever made that comment reminds me of those bosses that have to throw their weight around just to make you feel like crap.

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

That comment echoes a sentiment constantly made on the hoof gp channel, where he feels the stress of being in the crush is a big problem. (Or maybe it's the fact he's paid by the cow; do faster work, which means more cows, which means more money).

[@mikemooseman5354]

Everyone is a critic. Take your time and do it right Nate.😊

[@mandydavidson6694]

I think we have learned a great deal from Nate, as to what it takes to be a great compassionate Hoof Guy. Thank you Nate 😊💫

[@GotAnUmbrella]

The fact you are so slow and careful is why I keep following. Cow comfort before speed.

[@RioJudy]

We know who you are, Nate. Don’t be concerned about comments on social media whose day is spent making undereducated and cruel comments about your work. I D I O T S abound here on social media. You’re the best!

[@bedtimeeve214]

Yeah, they likely have never made it outside of their suburban bedroom and know nothing about cattle or farming! You aren't excessive in taking your time beyond what's necessary and I'm sure that the farmers share their appreciation! ❤️

[@jaroslaval9159]

I feel like I need to apologize on behalf of the critic who said you need to work faster! I suspect I know why. Another hoof trimmer made such a point of that the other day! And then I saw mistakes being made because of the speed! Yes! The other cow was flinching more! Nate- please do not let those who do not know of what they speak to pressure you to work differently! We love you for your precise and delicate work!

[@helmaschine1885]

Yeah we know who it is...ends with GP.

[@jaroslaval9159]

@@helmaschine1885 I am not a hoof trimmer or a farmer, but I think he should slow down a bit. I get very nervous at times on behalf of the cow! The other day, from the camera angle, I could see he had clearly touched the corium and the cow flinched. And it wasn't due to a newer injury where there wasn't a clearer separation. He had plenty of room to maneuver. He was just not taking the time to aim and lift that false sole. I almost wrote a comment- the opposite of what Nate got- "Please slow down! You have a whole team helping you!"- but I stopped myself. I understand that maybe a bull needs to get out quicker- the issue of that radial nerve. I wonder, though, when he has a huge queue of cows to get through, the pressure is greater to move faster, so easy for me, as someone said below, to be a keyboard warrior and be just like Nate's critic! I am glad I said nothing. The guy is a pro and needs to figure that out my himself. He obviously cares about the cows, as does Nate.

[@Mr_Welch]

All he has to do is just speed the video up.

[@Etherglide]

@@helmaschine1885 A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

[@getsomepack]

The person that made that comment probably never did this before, everything in life isn’t a race! When your production goes up your quality goes down I would rather a good quality job that took a little bit longer to do than a quick sloppy job

[@truemarklander]

Well Nate, the one reason I watch and NOT any of the other hoof guys is precisely because you take your time; you are careful and clearly very conscientious about how the cow is doing while you're trimming. Your humane approach to what you do sets you apart. You're the gold standard!!

[@lynniev]

I suspect that your farmers choose you for their cows because of your care and patience! ❤

[@brucehobbs1734]

I’ve always said you’re the only hoof guy I watch, you draw the least blood and do the best job. You care about your patients.

[@Gildorify]

No need to defend yourself Nate. You're clearly the one doing the job, and the commenter was just frustrated that you weren't zooming through the process. The analogy with the dentist is great, and I would choose having my dentist take his time as well. I once had a dentist who forgot to clean his hands before putting his hands into my mouth. I got the flu from that. Not very nice.

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

that's terrible!

[@cathyd74]

What about gloves? Youre lucky that's all you got!

[@Gildorify]

@@cathyd74 No idea why he didn't use gloves either.

[@purplerunner1715]

Healthcare should never be a speeding contest, it's a matter of attention to detail, and getting the job done right, that also goes when it comes to animals.

[@brzozowata]

I always admire your work, Nate. you are always careful, gentle and precise. there is no need to rush. you are taking care of these lovely creatures in the best possible way! thank you for sharing your work with us ❤

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

I like your style. Taking your time and being patient is honorable. Thank you for sharing. 🐄

[@twatson87]

Nice response to the commenter about working faster. Don't let anyone else tell you how to run your business.

[@wackymedia9502]

Your style, professionalism, and passion for your job, with respectful care for the animals you tend to, is the reason your channel is number one. And to whom made that comment is the reason we’re watching Nate and not you, Good Day. Keep up the good work Nate and continue your outstanding work.

[@exiverence]

I love how you take care of them, I see so many people that are rough on these poor girls and it breaks my heart. It just them doing it for views and sticking their faces in the camera every 30 seconds and obnoxiously narrate what’s going on. Thank you for your kindness and compassion for these cows

[@PaszerDye]

I'm watching with low volume + auto-generated captions, and the baby cow's are coming up as [music] haha

[@CoyoteLovelyLV]

TBH, you’re my favorite channel to watch for hoof trimming. You seem so compassionate in your videos, and it really shows. And some of the other guys are more stressful to watch, or they feel more like they’re boasting or showing off for the camera instead of showing us the trim. Keep on trimming how you do. Your channel is great.

[@cindybetts7564]

Thank you for taking your time, being as gentle as possible, and doing your best not to cause undo pain. I for one appreciate you being careful. You keep doing you! 🙂

[@tripperjones1294]

Nobody has the authority to tell you how to do your job. You are the best trimmer or KZbin by alot. Don't waste time explaining yourself. Thanks for what you do

[@evelynallen5777]

I work in a cat only vet clinic. We have a saying, "go slow to go fast." You rush and you'll make mistakes or freak out the patient. Also, I know Dairy cows aren't pets, I know they don't need humans for comfort, but I don't know how you work so quietly haha. I am constantly comforting patients or giving them praise.

[@CynnamonSpyder]

I love to see the relief on the cows' faces at the end. As an ex vet-tech, I can't stand watching those "faster" farriers butcher their way through the cows. Thank you, Nate, for giving each animal the care and respect it deserves.

[@BREAKENSTEIN]

I always appreciated how much care and precise work you do on these cow hooves. I've seen other channels and they just hack away without much care. A cow is going to be more adverse to entering a shoot when it's a place they experience pain. It's better that he's gentle. The cow is just chilling.

[@user-xm1od9nb1m]

Ive never seen anyone ”hack away without care”. I feel like different cows have different hoof hardness depending on the bedding theyre on. Sometimes when the hoof is hard it looks like ”hacking” bc they have to put more preassure behind the knife, not that theyre doing anything wrong or not being careful

[@maggsbufton1969]

One thing I’ve noticed about all the hoof trimmers in the UK and USA is that you all have a strong fondness of the cattle you treat and therefor have great compassion and concern for their stress and comfort. I’ve often wondered, what does a cow think when she is in the crush?

[@cindyknudson2715]

Is she even *thinking* about the manicure OR is she wondering if Daisy and Maude are exchanging some juicy gossip without her while she's inside.

[@ako2account574]

Regarding the person who told you to work faster…. I’ve seen a few videos of hoof trimmers who do the “faster, faster, FASTER” routine and the work they do on the hoof is noticeably below average. Even I can spot the raggedy edges and damage to the corium that speed causes. Very happy to hear (and see) that you don’t play that game and instead you do it the right way.

[@danielnigri5829]

the way you trimm is actually what make me like your videos more than other hoof trimming channels. Its so nice and gentle it makes me want to trimm a hoof too haha

[@nogames284]

ive noticed you take a lot more care and have a softer touch than other hoof youtubers, its a nicer watch and of course the cows much prefer that too! You seem to really care about not unnecessarily hurting and riling up the cow, good on you!

[@Hazel-e1k]

Do beautiful work and you’re so kind and gentle. I enjoy watching you trim their hooves.❤

[@gabrielmondragon3715]

What's so fascinating about your videos is the obvious skills you show, and the precise cuts to release pressure and pain, such a professional... the detail of the two little cats about minute 3 was precious 😸

[@IcedNunya]

I love that you take your time. I tried to watch another persons videos and the way he hacked at that poor cow was terrible. The cow was jerking her foot in pain with every swipe. He was cutting the corium recklessly and there was so much blood. But watching that poor cow try to jerk her foot away constantly made me sad. Good job Nate

[@cleigh113]

You do an excellent job Nate if I had cows I would want you to work on their feet.

[@Cllocopine]

I feel like the hoof trimmers that hurry up to get the cows out as quickly as possible do that more for money than for the cow. It works moreso as a factory where every cow needs to be done quickly so they can trim as many cows as possible in as little time as possible. But with trimmers like Nate you can definitely tell that he truly cares about the cow’s best interest rather than his own.
