Hello Nate , i hope you are doing well. Another great video, great treatment. Nate you are honestly the best hoof trimmer I have ever seen on KZbin. I say this with all my sincerity. In terms of your hand skills, the fact that your knives are always razor sharp, your approach to animals and the care you show them after the procedure make you by far the best. I'm not even talking about your relaxing voice 😅. Nate, I have a few questions for you, buddy: 1.) One of the things I'm most curious about is, can you use anesthesia for trimming ? I don't know Spanish, maybe they could be veterinarians, but in some of the Latin channels I watch, trimmers use drugs , anesthesia and perform some surgical interventions. They anesthetize the cow's leg and perform surgical interventions on living tissues. Can you intervene like this in an emergency and have you ever had an experience like this ? 2.) Is there a relationship between the structure of the cow's hooves (hardness, amount of extension, susceptibility to a certain type of problems like ulcers, white line problems... ) and the breed of the cow? Because I've seen many different types of hooves on the many channels I watch. Some are soft, some can be hard as rocks. Is this situation due to genetics or is it related to human reasons such as the soil characteristics of the dairy farm, closed-free feeding type? Greetings from Turkey Nate , love you buddy. Will see you in the next videos .

[@Steam_User_]

same exact thing here

[@AN-nt3uv]

Cutting hoof horn is such like skiing, hard, well crystallized powder snow rides very smooth and easy, wet slushy snow is a pain to survive downhill. Sorry for my English, as a German i am not always aware of right spelling, grammar and wording 😅

[@dianeaustin2414]

Good analogy and perfectly stated.

[@HoneyBeeFlanzman]

I watched one of your videos and got hooked on good trim videos, so now I get recommendations from KZbin for other channels as well. I am now well versed in watching people trim cow hooves (and understand there’s no way I could do it lol!) and I have to say - it can be downright upsetting seeing how rushed, rough, or imprecise some folks are in their trims. You are really top of the line when it comes to farriers!

[@richard.10m]

I think it's fair to say that there was no better time to become a hoof trimmer than nowadays with all the high quality videos about hoof trimming.

It looks like trying to trim up that heal bulb area when there’s a lesion underneath is almost like trying to cut through not fully set jello in a precise and clean fashion. Definitely looks super challenging but you also make it look easy.

Most jobs may not require a follow up up it is cool to see the change and the healing. You see hundreds of cows a day probably maybe thousands, idk how you would keep track.

[@doms132]

Have you thought of having an ozone machine that can spray ozonated water mounted on the crush? That you could spray each hoof before you do deep trims like this? Could be helpful in long term thinking

[@peg9897]

Wow, that was amazing!

[@nickmail7604]

I live in the countryside in the east of the UK (East Anglia) and where I live the dairy cows are in grassy meadows and they all look lovely and clean. Whenever I watch hoof trimmers either from here or the US the animals are all kept on concrete and seem to spend all their time having to stand in their own piss and shit. If they didn't have to do that maybe their hoofs might not get so infected, plus all that filth can't do the quality of the milk much good.

[@shahmyncecillesencio]

Great job! 👏

[@donutpredator4945]

This is gonna sound like a dumb question but is trimming their hooves similar to us cutting our fingernails? Doesn't hurt but you know something is going on

[@Eshenaleros]

That's exactly what it's like, because hooves are made from the same material and grown the same way as nails or claws. It just grows in a different configuration.

[@donutpredator4945]

I grew up on a farm and still live on one but didn't know hoof trimming was a thing now cutting off cow horns is a different story

[@anndinoto]

I'm going to sound like a dummy, too. When the cutting of the hoof gets that deep, the cow doesn't need pain medication? I know you say it's like cutting your fingernails, but when the nail clippers get close to the nail bed, it hurts.

[@Call-me-Al]

​@@anndinoto salicylic acid is basically aspirin

[@mdickard8354]

He's actually really carefully to avoid the raw areas and just touch the horn itself.

How long does it take for a hoof to become this bad ? Kind of can’t help but think if the farmer had acted quicker noticing lameness it may not have got so bad ? I’m no expert but surely this poor girl would of been showing signs of lameness for some time at least days if not weeks . Not sure I could let my animal suffer for even an hour let alone days 😢Thank you for helping this beautiful girl .

[@Themight911]

[@patrickb5656]

The Hoof GP puts the ASA on the wrap first. It seems to work very well, with minimal loss. Just throwing that out there....

[@terrywereb7639]

That soft tissue being harder to trim is true throuout the body. The tissues are pushed away by the pressure, so the blade can't pierce it as easily. A kidney is easier to cut than a liver.

[@tammyC1971]

😂 Jokes on them!

[@bigtimebella]

[@maggsbufton1969]

Nate: Would not a selection of surgical instruments, such as scissors and scalpels be more helpful in removing the “ soft gooey “ bits? I’m always amazed by the pain tolerance of animals..When I see a cow actually crying out loud and unable to put her foot down…I know she’s past the point of her pain tolerance; because those desperate urgent cries of pain are a like ringing the dinner bell to all predators in the area..she’d rather die than suffer anymore.. I know these injuries and infections can develop fast, and when cattle are out in the fields, the farmer might not catch it right away, because they try not to show any lameness…but good grief, sometimes the cattle are not monitored enough…

[@loriace9841]

Hi! Can you do a video about a hoof? This girl looks like she was relieved from her pain and pressure, but I want to understand what you are doing

[@hotbread1004]

The reason its harder to cut the softer it is is because when softer it bends away from the blade more than the hard horn

[@TheClairasaurus]

Is there ever a situation where both sides of the same hoof are damaged? Do you just pick the less ill side to put the block on initially?

[@shromsandwich]

soft heel bulb being harder to cut makes sense if you think about soft cheese being harder to cut
