I think a lot of us here appreciate very much the fact that you take your time and work slowly and deliberately with the trimming. That shows that you have the animal's welfare at heart. Thanks once again Nate.

You are the Bob Ross of hoof trimming. Your talent, along with your soothing voice, is as artistic and soothing as watching Bob paint happy little trees.

Great description. I find watching Nate almost transcendental, lol.

It's so satisfying when you spray the stuff and all of the rocks and debris flow away leaving a clean area. It's my favorite part of the process.❤

I love the "training video" vibe that Nate gives off, talking to us like his apprentice. I swear anyone who watches 50+ hours of this should be just about ready to move onto practical.

[@neilpuckett359]

​@matthewtaylor1592 go to your room 😅

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

I think the simplest explanation for why soft hoof-horn is harder to cut through than hard hoof-horn is that if the horn is soft, it tends to move out of the way of the blade rather than allow the blade to cut it. Obviously, it can only move so far before it can't move any further and then it can be cut, but it still makes cutting difficult, and the accuracy of the cut can be thrown off unless you anticipate what the result will be. All of which just increases my respect for you and for the difficulty of the work you do.

[@adilemresonmez7988]

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 .

[@DynamicSeq]

[@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!

[@pippishortstocking7913]

Totally agree about the rushed and rough techniques of other hoof trimmers! They give me anxiety. Nate is the best.

[@bamabelleasmr1365]

You’re so gentle. I watch another hoof guy and his poor cows stay mooing and jumping he isn’t gentle at all. They start bleeding because he’s not careful. Hurts my heart. But your cows never jump or moo in pain. They are lucky to have you.

[@Lenc324]

I saw that guy too and it made me sick. He had no clue what he was doing.

I love watching Nate help the cows feel better ❤

[@chelsea8043]

I’ve watched so many of these videos. I never thought I would be so interested in all the different ailments of hooves. 😂😂 I think it’s because this is like a combination of ASMR and pimple popping videos. It’s very satisfying once everything is cleaned and he puts the block on. Cutting through the hoof sounds and sometimes looks similar to soap cutting. Nate’s voice is also very soothing, too!

[@rheacomito160]

Thank you so much for helping these precious animals. When you get into the infection, I imagine it becomes quite painful. I see how careful you are. Is there anything you could do to possibly numb their hoof before you start? But I totally see how the cows are in full understanding that you’re helping them ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

[@kpool694]

Poor lady!! It looks so painful. Thanks for helping her

[@lifeisboss7097]

A not on why softer heel (ceratin?) is harder to cut: Cutting is a type of 'plastic deformation' where the object being effected has enough force put on it that it will no longer return to its original state (overstretching a slinky for example). The other type of deformation is elastic (like elastic bands) where the force isn't enough to cause a permanent structural change. The stiffer/harder something is the less elastic deformation it can experience, which means the bar for plastic deformation is lower. This is why anything that can flex is much more likely to survive extreme forces than even objects significantly 'stronger' than it.

[@marybeal9066]

Wow! What a messy ulcer. Glad you got it cleaned up and it can start to heal. As always, love your patient approach to trimming super sensitive tissue. And, nobody makes fun of our favorite hoof trimmer. Give us their name and location and we will verbally put them in their place. 😉❤️
