This is a BIGGIE // INSTANT RELIEF

Today’s video we tackle some of the most frequently asked questions I receive on a daily basis.
CONTACT NATE THE HOOF GUY

[@Andrew_in_the_garden]

It's interesting how right after the trim she still doesn't use the hurt foot at first, but then realizes she can walk on it with the block on, really shows how useful they are!

[@lifesyphon1]

I just made a really similar comment! 🤣 I love that. It’s like being able to see inside the mind of a cow for a second

[@st.bernard1501]

She was still tip toeing.

[@Andrew_in_the_garden]

Yeah lol I kinda realised when rewatching it@@st.bernard1501

[@bensmith5231]

Ypu Would Be With That Wound LoL 🤡 ​@@st.bernard1501

[@villerantavalli9395]

They are, before somebody had the idea to glue "a shoe" into cow's hoof to relief pressure on the infected toe, this type of hoof infections usually meant that the Cow would be taken to slaughter. They would heal poorly and the animal would just keep on suffering until it finally got necrotic sepsis and died anyway.

[@sophieandwayne]

Hello newbies, I guarantee you will binge watch all of Nate’s videos now. He is so professional and calm around the animals and knows his stuff for sure!

[@cynhiacations9879]

Yes he's a real pro. I used to be a fan of a certain scottish hoof trimmer but got so tired of all the fooling around and put downs directed jokingly to his assistant. I'm here to learn not soak up what he's spent his money on eg sports cars, house renovation (adding a room for a gym), holidays overseas. We know that youtube generates income but to flaunt it to ppl who don't care or who are financially strapped annoyed me so much. Thank god Nate is professional and explains things as he goes. Thanks Nate

[@TheSuzberry]

Did we all do this? I fell in love with the professional way Nate cares for the animals he treats.

[@Narvoza]

@@cynhiacations9879 i agree, also that certain scott tends to make his videos so long with the actual trim 1-2 minute only the rest his talking about a bunch of stuff unrelated. Nate, you have officially ruined me for all other channels. Professional, delicate, educational and to the point ✅

[@theresadimaggio7241]

Nate your awesome

[@playgroundchooser]

I've heard Nate explain this stuff so many times... yet it doesn't get old. I don't know why, but I hope it never does. It's just nice watching a guy be really good at what he does and incredibly kind while doing it. :-) There are so many KZbinrs that could learn a whole lot by watching Mr. Hoof Guy.

[@cupcakeunicorn7744]

My family and friends tease me constantly about watching Nate's videos because I have no current or planned contact with cows. Nonetheless I love watching someone take care and provide healing to these lovely animals. It reminds me that there are nice folks like Nate in the world!

[@toddfraisure1747]

I completely agree with your comment.

[@LonelyWolfe42]

​@@cupcakeunicorn7744do you drink milk or eat beef? If so, that's your contact.

[@rae1714]

@@cupcakeunicorn7744 Lol i got the same reaction from my family until they watched it.More subs for Nate.

[@hotbread1004]

Omg ik right, idk how hearing him explain the same things all the time doesn't get boring but it doesn't, can listen to him explain everything about a cows foot for hours

[@loisbolton1800]

That was a big area! I love how when you’ve finished & release the cow from the brace, she steps very gingerly, testing that hoof. Then she gradually picks up steam as she realises it doesn’t hurt so much any more, & actually it feels a ton better. Happy cow. 🥰

[@samuelbayliss7998]

[@cryofpaine]

I don't think I've ever seen any of these where they've taken that much away. That was practically the entire claw.

[@mcsmith732]

I learned about chlorhexidine from Nate. I have a lot of critters (cats & dogs) and also grand-kids. Anytime there's a boo-boo, i break this stuff out. It doesn't sting and gets rid of germs. I've also used it to clean and de-germ surfaces. It's good stuff; inexpensive, a little goes a long way and I buy it by the gallon. Very handy to have around, and I don't know how I lived without it! Meanwhile, I really enjoy watching Nate work on those cows' feet. Part of it is because I enjoy watching professional experts do their work, part because I like critters, and part because Nate's voice sounds so kind and soothing.

[@dianebaugher3919]

Where can you buy it, I'm not familiar with it

[@StrangeFacinations]

​@@dianebaugher3919 I was going to ask that too.

[@DontBotherMe2day]

Please let us know where you buy it

[@octaviousgideon3657]

Sam's club? Costco ? Amazon?

[@ggaggagga4]

It's also given to patients to shower with the day before and the day of, a surgery.

[@mariefraher8725]

Thank you for giving her such good care. She looks so sweet. What relief for her!

[@marybeal9066]

That poor girl. No wonder her foot was sore! Nice job Nate!

[@Frank.B.Crafts]

When i was a young lad there was a 4H fair in my area that my parents would take me to every year. I asked a farrier who was trimming vow hooves "why dont you wash the hoof first?" He gave me the best reply i have ever heard, "If you step on a nail, would you wash your boot, pull out the nail, wash your boot, remove your boot, wash your foot and treat the wound? Or would you pull out the nail, remove your boot, clean your foot and treat the wound? "

[@CB.5]

Well a farrier doesn't trim cow hooves, only horses' hooves.

[@cindyknudson2715]

​@@CB.5 Maybe this one trimmed both?

[@daniell1483]

I feel like I could watch you work all day, Nate. Great work once again!

[@kathynj6479]

It was so good to see her at first reluctant to put that foot down, then do so gingerly, then walk off. You can see it's still a little sore, but it seems she felt much better. I never tire of your explanations. It must feel good to know how to help them.

[@jellybean9692]

You are the best. Your comment about the windex was hilarious. The minute I get notification of new video, I have to watch it. Thank you for the very informative and knowledgeable commentary. Thank you

[@pheurbelvls3710]

That did really help answer so many questions, thank you, and thank you for helping this cow. 💚💚

[@Saraphina_Marie]

The community here is pretty good, too. We'll help out when we can as well.

[@mitnehmerrippe]

A little tidbit for everyone wondering about chlorhexidine: It’s not just used for veterinary purposes, but also used in human dental care as an antiseptic - so if you’ve had some teeth pulled, you’ve probably been told to use a product containing this ingredient as an antiseptic mouthwash after every meal until your surgery wound was properly healed! (Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, just someone with removed wisdom teeth - please don’t use this info to brew your own concoction as a home remedy, always follow your actual doctor’s orders).

[@kimleaf7023]

Thanks for helping the cows, but I still can't stand to feel bad for them, though. I know you're not hurting them, and I know you're fixing the problem, so big thanks to you for helping them!

[@cidk59]

I am continually amazed at how precise and careful you are with these cows hoofs. I'm totally hooked on watching your videos!!!

[@ISeeYouOliver]

Wow that looks nasty. So satisfying seeing it being treated and bandaged. Also thanks Nate for taking the time to answer some of the FAQs!

[@nanascraftingcottage3620]

You do great explaining things! I ran across your channel recently and I can’t get enough!!! I was raised around cows when young and have always had a place in my heart for them. Thank you for being here!!! ❤

[@vicioustwist]

The glove analogy is great. Your video using the block and business card to demonstrate the relationship of the hoof wall and sole, and how white line defects are created was also very instructive. That's why I say you are the intellectual of hoof trimmers.

[@RobbieRobot.]

Cows are so dainty on their feet look at her 😍🥰 love them so much! Hi to all the new peeps too!! Join us in watching Nate care for this beauts, so careful and kind and never unnecessary ❤

[@otterfan3213]

Thank heaven for people like you, Nate! Much admiration for you and your profession!!

[@bonnieking5493]

This was a good video with lots of questions answered. I know that I am not the only one who enjoys listening to you talk. And your kind treatment of the cows is exceptional.

[@larrycanepa]

Bless you, Nate, for giving these sweet babies the relief they need for their injured/damaged hooves.

[@DEFW21]

Thank you for treating animals with respect and compassion ❤

[@addesigncntr2708]

After subscribing for a couple years, I feel like i could answer any questions, even though I'll probably never trim a cows hoof. Also, I like the fact that you do voice-overs instead of cutting to a shot of you talking to us like a certain trimmer from Scotland. No offense to him, but I watch these to see hooves being trimmed not some guy promoting himself. Bravo to you for having a beautiful family, truck, house, crush etc, but I wanna watch hoof trimming. I'm sure he's a great guy, i just don't need to be reminded in every video. I appreciate the fact that you are a hoof trimmer who also posts on YT, instead of a You-Tuber who trims hooves. keep up the good work

[@lifesyphon1]

It’s cool to see the cows leave the crush hesitant and still thinking there’s gonna be pain when they walk, then slowly realize they can walk normally with far less discomfort. Instant gratification!

[@redacted8008]

I'm one of the new subscribers. Found a few shorts, like them, was fed more, eventually went to the channel itself and subbed. So oddly satisfying.

[@williamsmith4278]

I love the work Nate the hoof guy dose. As far as I'm concerned, he is one of the best hoof trimmers I've ever seen he's really passionate about what he does.

[@ISayFinn]

Strangely satisfying to watch. Commentary is great.

[@buildfixbreak7947]

Regarding cleaning the hooves before trimming, I've also heard the water for cleaning makes a huge mess on the floor around the trimming area which can make things worse for cows and trimmer

[@marciakaczmarek6761]

5 hrs of binge watching Nate. It's addicting!

[@And...ow3ch]

Wow, this was an extensive trim, Nate! Beautiful trim, I’m sure that sweet girl is feeling better because of you great care. I’d love to see a follow up, if you’re going back soon enough. Thanks for the video & happy Wednesday ✨

[@donhalter8377]

I’ve been binge watching all these for weeks now. I’m always amazed at how much hoof can be trimmed away, yet still heal over.

[@johnk6748]

Absolutely fascinating and love how you deliver this-

[@art1muz13]

It's just nice watching a guy be excellent at what he does and incredibly kind while doing it.

[@thatsplumwilde]

honestly you're my favorite hoof trimming channel on youtube. just straight factual information delivered in a calm clear voice. listening to the cadence of your voice while you explain things is almost like meditation for me 😅 and i learn new things too!

[@KhawaajaHassan]

Omg... This is easily the most satisfying hoof trim I've seen in a while or maybe ever. And is this a new camera?! Beautiful quality! Excellent job Nate 👏👍 👌. Man, almost her entire horn was detached! And that ulcer looks infected beyond belief. Good lord. These have to be some of the luckiest cows in the world with you around to take care of em Nate! Back home in the old country where my family's from, Egypt, people don't take care of their cows like this. When a cow goes lame, that's the end of the cow. It's great to see you give these cows so much TLC. Keep it up!

[@rgeniec]

I’m a few months a newbie. I can’t get enough of Nate and his commentary.

[@ey5644]

Hey folks, I’m really new to this type of treatment…but grateful to your efforts to help the cow. Im amazed at the notion of removing all that hoof area, and it will all grow back…

[@fortysanchez3071]

I'm not new to this. I do want to thank you for the quick A-Z on everything, the reasoning for everything, and how everything functions.

[@janbuchmiller150]

You're the best!!! So gentle and kind to the girls!!

[@jordanbrooke5278]

With you and the hoof gp, I feel I’ve become alot more knowledgable and compassionate towards these beautiful animals!

[@m.h.7901]

Your explananing is so easy to understand. I didnt know in nature the loose part would fall off.

[@wendydebois1685]

You are so good at what you do, thankyou for really caring for these cows😁

[@reservedatcopywright1790]

I'm so glad you saw my question! I have had that one on my brain for months. I just kept cycling "what if both have problems, what if both have problems, what if both-" and i finally thought to actually comment my question lol. thank you so much, i love your videos so much

[@MrRoach0662]

You remind me of the narrator from how it’s made.. easy going videos with a great soothing voice along with seeing the cows being helped it’s so darn relaxing. Great work Nate!

[@anstractreasoner]

Nate, you are a natural teacher. I am very invested in this process thanks to you. 😊

[@oldcrowslanding]

I just love your attitude of wanting to make the cows more comfortable. It hurts my heart to see animals in pain and distress. Thank you for your wonderful work!

[@thomasmartin7425]

Awesome! That was so satisfying. I did NOT think 3/4 or more of the hoof would be gone. Maybe 1/2, but that just kept going.

[@marciaolson4878]

You’re so good at explaining and I do so appreciate that! So happy she’s undergoing your care!❤❤❤

[@carmelocruz-diaz6643]

I have been watching hoof trims for some time now with different trimers. You are the best.

[@intellygent-alienking5651]

Never in my life did i think i would be interested in watching hoof trimming, but you are an artist Nate.

[@bsherman4353]

For some reason these videos always pop up when I need them the most. Super soothing and takes your mind off the bad stuff❤

[@3000amps]

By far my favourite hoof trimmer. Easy to watch and I love how kind and gentle you are with the cows. As someone who raises them herself I appreciate it. ☺️❤️

[@whyamIaraccoon]

I. Love. Your. Voice. You are calm and yet able to engage my (and definitely not only mine!) brain.

[@kennyjones6683]

Nate, I've been watching your videos for quite a long time now. The reason why is plain and simple, you do whatever it takes to put these cows at ease and pain-free. I dont know a lot about hoof trimming except for what I watch on your videos. It was easy for me to understand what is happening from how you describe and teach it. Keep up the great work that you do. 🐄

[@sapphireblu76]

Thank you for answering about what happens when both claws have issues.

[@bekahlissa87]

You were the first hoof trimmer that KZbin brought to my attention and I love watching your videos, I've probably been following you for about a year now. I watched another trimmer for the first time this week. He is good too but I spent a lot of time wishing he had a hook on his knives like you do. He wasn't mean or over aggressive but he did do a lot of corium nicking.

[@ericbowles6606]

So I think when some people say to "wash off the foot" what I take that to mean is after you've discovered the issue let's say as in the 1:49 mark and just take a spray bottle and spray out the problem areas quickly. I think this gives us viewers a better shot at what's actually happening under all that slurry and infection. I do think you do the best job at this out of all of the YT trimmers. That's why you're my favorite.

[@CrawlunderaRock]

Amazing job. I know nothing about this but I enjoyed watching you doing this trim and help that small cow 😇

[@johnsrabe]

For the next q&a? Do cows get mad at you or hold a grudge, or on the flipside, know that you’ve brought them relief? (My only analog is that my dog once held shockingly still when I had to use a qtip to remove a foxtail from his eye. He knew something big was going down. Yes luckily it went well. Whew.)

[@BBnSam1215]

Foxtails are awful. I’m not looking forward to them this year. My fluffy shepherd picks them up like Velcro.

[@playgroundchooser]

That is a great question. 👍👍

[@lunak1391]

yikes! that's scary. foxtails are just horrible!

[@darlapolyanna]

something about the predictability of Nate's videos and the explaining voice over is so comforting

[@trishhill7563]

You have a knack for explaining things very simply but yet a lot of details. Ive lived around cows my whole life. Never thought about a lot of this. I've have learned a lot lol..

[@braddixon3338]

Great explanation for the various steps and details along the way. I'm just always so impressed as to how sharp your carving tools are, they just go right through that hoof like butter!

[@kellimihalic116]

Thanks nate for another animal having a better day.

[@marvincarter870]

Nate this girl will be better now and have less pain to deal with. Good job 👍

[@carolinehumes1422]

You are fantastic! 👏🏻 thank you for the wonderful work you do helping these cows ❤🙏🏻

[@bakerinthehouse5346]

Back when I started watching videos on this platform, I never thought I would be subscribed to a bovine hoof channel lol. But this is so interesting, and it's satisfying to watch an expert solve these issues and help these critters feel better.

[@angelawilliams4239]

Just came across your channel tonight. It’s after midnight Friday 12/5 in Australia. I’m an RN,but am loving these videos. Live the way you are for the animals. Great job.

[@rachelmetherell172]

Brilliant job, shes walking so much better now ❤

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Quite often I am put off by the brashness displayed by some North American folks. As someone born and raised on a (free-range style) dairy farm I know that cattle react badly to noise and wild movements. However this gent exudes an air of quiet knowledge and competence that you only get with long experience in your trade. A very instructive and entertaining view of how things are done in another part of the world.

[@joryou]

Your videos bring such peace and comfort to me that there isn't much left of on social media. Thank you!

[@bold810]

Hey, Nate- the Algo took you out of my feed, but I'm really glad to see new content! For some reason I feel better when those poor critters get some TLC and relief. 🎉

[@mjustjeanette7026]

The relief is very evident as she walks out.

[@jenny3742]

You are so careful compared to the other hoof guy

[@Liz_678]

[@beckykent6674]

Thanks for answering all the questions that I and everyone else I'm sure had!! You do a great job for these cows!

[@kimbeale797]

So glad your channel is growing! Blessings from SE TX

[@ChristineKrannich]

Your analogies are great illustrations, Nate. I used analogies when I taught pre-k. Kids can grasp quite advanced concepts when they get related to things they are familiar with. Videos combined with analogies are excellent for all ages.

[@AN-nt3uv]

Very nice, that you do those introductory courses from time to time. That even helps after having seen a bunch of trimmings to resolve some open questions. I still wonder, how i ended being here. I am not a farmer, i do not own any cattle and work as a physicist with particle accelerators. I did not search for that, but for all out there still starring in disbelief on this YT proposal for a channel, watch it. I love seeing cows being reliefed from their pain. Great job Nate. If i will ever be a farmer here in Germany, i would invite you to come over here.

[@Cnas12345]

honestly, no matter how many times, this is so satisfying to watch, like i felt the relief after that

[@rayarena879]

You do a great job. I love how meticulous and thorough you are.

[@krswan72]

Vet Tech here, your videos are so satisfying to watch.

[@Wolfgodmak]

While shes walking lightly, shes getting comfortable with her temporary block on her hoof, surely after a few minutes shes grown completely comfortable and is walking as she would normally walk but hopefully she rests more than she walk to give time for the healing process. Thanks for sharing and educating us on cows and their health

[@slick_9997]

I’m so happy for you Nate! I can’t believe how much the Chanel has grown this past year!!! Keep it up!!!

[@janhorak8024]

I would like to thank Nate for these really interesting and informative videos. And special thanks to these answers, I watch your videos quite often, but its good to have some details refreshed.

[@carolcampbell2041]

I am thankful for Nate answering the question about washing the hoof before starting. It always bothered me. Now I think I understand.

[@cekfraun]

I'm fairly new to watching Nate's videos. I must say, I am hooked. I just think it's sad to see the cows walking away in all that sloppy manure on the barn floor after he has done such a great job of trimming the hoof and cleaning and dressing the wound.

[@Susie-sg1126]

I love Nate! I've missed being able to watch him while I was without a phone!

[@Cehlec]

You did a very good job explaining! I like the calm and explanatory style of your videos

[@wonderwoman6232]

I follow you and Hoof GP. I like both of you, but you are my favorite. No music, and you really educate us about what you do. Keep it up!😊

[@yamnjam]

Hoof GP creeps me out. Nate's the only one I watch.

[@alisongilbert2453]

OMG THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! I keep wondering how a rock could stay in one spot long enough to have hoof grow around it, but thats not the case- the hoof starts the problem! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@jlakatos524]

Having watched other post from people in your field of work, I totally appreciate the fact that you don't have unnecessary "content" before you get to the job at hand. I applaud you sir! 👏👏👏

[@Aryan_homophobe]

That hoof separation was insane. Interesting how the cow was slowly beginning to trust the rubber block while walking away.

[@jennylynn1947]

God love her! That had to be so sore. Ok thank you for helping her. ❤❤❤

[@TheProdigalSon325]

Ok now I fully believe youtube can read my mind.... I have watched quite a few of these hoof videos and they all spray that blue spray. For the first time EVER the thought crossed my mind "is that windex?" And BAMM two seconds later you answered the question....😮😮😮

Dude, I've never seen anything like this, nor do I have cattle or ever plan on it, but this is so cool to watch. Great work.
