It may be a Small Mark but THERE IS a BIG PROBLEM UNDERNEATH!!

[@chrismack5908]

Hi Nate, I find hoof trimming fascinating and follow 3 other trimmers. IMO, you have the most precise knife skills. You are patient and don't swipe at the claw as other trimmers do. You're a joy to watch.

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

Thank you. I appreciate that!!

[@alexischavez3238]

He doesn't rub open wounds super hard with a dirty paper towel either he uses a clean gauze pad and is always gentle

[@Giovanni12332]

Yea, I always think the same thing! I see other trimmers' cows bleed a lot.

[@inmemoryoffrancoile9274]

Let me guess - the hoof gp, tec TV, and the Midwestern hoof trimmer (it's something like that, I know it's the Midwest something or other), but yeah, Nate here definitely seems the best of the bunch, I guess that is to say if I was a cow and had any choice in the matter I would choose to go to Nate the Hoof Guy 👍

[@annebishop9634]

Hoof trimming is becoming my favorite bedtime story.

[@borisvandruff7532]

Anyone else catch Nate saying “All better!” before he lets her out of the chute? The syrupy sweetness of him saying that is even making my bitter coffee taste better this morning.

[@kaki4645]

My son and I love to watch your videos on his bedtime routine. Thank you to take care of those lovely cows. My son wants to tell you to continue to be funny 😊🐮🐄💚

[@TorchMeetsWorld]

Nate not only cares about the cows, he cares about his followers.. Answers questions, explains things so theyre easily understood, apologizes about sound/video quality, tries to describe the smell of things, and shows us the farm dogs when possible... Nate, youre the man

[@dale9724]

The poor cow. Thank goodness for you.

[@MotJ949]

The two cows in the background around 6:00 🤣 Betsy: you see that?! Elsie: she said her foot was hurting Betsy: oh... that looks bad Elsie: yeah, but Nate is good. He fixed up Maeve real good last fall Betsy: yeesh... but still! Elsie: yeah Betsy: yeah

[@linexline5763]

😆😆😆

[@scoootntootn689]

I love him way more than other youtubers that specialize on hooves because he actually shows the problem and explains it while others make a full music montage before actually showing something

[@spandex7055]

Other trimmers use a dirty rag, Nate uses chlorhexidine and clean gauze. Thanks for fixing her up Nate, clearly much more comfortable!

[@ymcghee40]

He treated her hoof so well that by the end I nearly forgot how serious a lesion it was. Updates please!

[@mcwakefield]

At least the sound hung in there while those other things went south and good thing you have a great sense of humour too. Thanks Nate

[@bobcharlie3734]

I always feel like I just got done watching a master class video after viewing your videos Nate. True Master of your craft sir.

[@beebop9808]

Send me a sack of those toenail trimmings Nate. My puppy dogs are drooling sitting here watching your vid. lol

[@pattiesueweeks9155]

Your knife work is extraordinary! You are gentle and aggressive at the same time. You’re are the best of all the others out there.🥰

[@sunlightimplosoin]

He isn't aggressive he's just confident. I appreciate that he keeps everything extra clean and the girls happy as he can

[@cynomain9802]

Saw a different hoof trimmer on KZbin who just hacked away at the hoof, and that was the thing that took the longest in the videos. It's more exciting to see something big lopped off with one cut instead of shavings.

[@zwierzchnik]

The title of this video: "Whatever Can Go Wrong, Will Go Wrong." Patience, perseverance and keen knife skills save the day! 🐄Happy cow thanks you❣

[@THREESISTERS15]

Hoof trimming been around a long time, however, it's ironic how just in the last few years because of technology a lot of us have learned about it. I learn something from each trimmer I watch. Good luck to all of them.

[@patsyphillips1475]

My favorite part is usually the saw. I like to see the shaping of the claw and disappearance of the insignificant dark spots. You are a fantastic teacher. I am a retired nurse and have watched you so much, I believe I can identify problems.😊

[@alicegamble6145]

You can tell its much better by the way she walks on it after the first few steps. Great job.

[@d00dEEE]

I always thought you took the preliminary knife swipes because the knife blade is cheaper than the carbides on the grinder if you hit a hidden rock...

[@gail8494]

Nice job Nate! I like when you narrate the videos! Thanks 👍

[@johnboyd4685]

Claw: crumbles under grinder and oozes Nate: Again, I’m looking for words to describe this to all you smell fans out there…

[@AjianAja]

LOVE hearing you talk to these sweet babies. ❤️ I wonder if the sound of your voice, deep as it is, would be soothing or reassuring to them in some way. I'd imagine it's in their vocal range and would have something of a positive affect on them.

[@PeteMonaghan]

Nate the great. Another lovely video. Thanks.

[@sabrina-wq4uu]

That is a beautiful black cow! I've never seen a Holstein cow with so little white on her.

[@agua9999]

Nate, you’re the best hoof trimmer on KZbin: ACCURATE + CONTROLLED‼️ can you please figure out a way to set your camera CLOSER to the hooves so we can see the same detail that you see as you’re up close & personal? Thank you🙏🏻

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

👍. Thank you!!

[@dreaminlayers]

I'm glad you moved the camera down after the power issue, I couldn't see anything with the distance between the camera and the hoof.

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

There’s no good place to rig a camera for back feet so it’s a bit further away.

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video Nate , great work

Beautiful trim!! Awesome analysis as always :)

Nope

[@Heeman5]

Great vid Nate! Keep them coming

[@tamo9520]

Yes, I was paying attention to you Nate. I always pay attention. You are so explanatory with great detail and information. But my point of comment begins at 5:50 into the video. I was watching the curious, concerned gossipers in the background. It was quite funny! The 2 curious gals were worried about their friend! They were probably wondering what you were doing to her. Speculating back 'n forth, running possibilities by each other. As well as debating as to who was going to walk over to check up on the friend. You even see what seems to be the one comforting the other's concerns. Then, finally, what seems to be the more outgoing braver one takes the first steps to walk over to her friend who is within this big contraption to check up on her. AS you film the gal with the ulcer walking out of the shoot, it also seems like the braver gal with concerns was at the end of the crush waiting for her wanting to hear aaalll about it! I just thought the little scenario that played out was cute.

[@dionnedunsmore9996]

😆is it Murphys' law?? if it CAN go wrong, it WILL go wrong? lol poor guy lol i was almost expecting the cow to bust loose from the crutch (?? i think thats what that machine is called that u put the cows in to restrain em rite??) u handled all the mishaps like a pro tho😉👊 she'll be healed up in no time? 😁 nice work Nate!!

I don’t know how you do it. Big messy hoof and you point out a speck “yep, problem is here”. 😁

[@annaburns2865]

Poor cow! She’s even bleeding. At least she seems to few better after you finished helping her.

[@heatherlowe7330]

You can see her gait smooth out as she adapts to the block. I hope there is a follow up, thanks for the video

[@zachariatekawaare4761]

I s there a risk of transferring bacteria from one cow to another if the knives are not enclaved and sterilized? Thanks as always for the great posts

[@hectorine3445]

I suppose it would be detrimental to the cow to have a cover for the hoof for cleanliness. Golfing cleats for gripping those slippery cow patties littering the pasture. I imagine farmers covering 2 and 3 hundred cattle feet would be a little much right?😉 This is from a true ignorant of cattle raising but who still enjoys how you work your craft Nate. Great job as usual.

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

There are boots for cows with foot problems but they usually trap moisture and prevent the foot from breathing.

[@hectorine3445]

@@NatetheHoofGuy I thought as much. Thanks for replying. 🙂

[@jpp1385]

Hi Nate, So, when trimming the tow back to a normal length is appears as though you are trimming into, &, or across the white line on the very tip of the hoof. I’m my head I start thinking of separation and weakening outer support. Would you be able to elaborate when you have a moment.

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

The reason it appears that way is because I leave additional sole thickness. If I were to take that sole down further my cuts would be outside the whiteline. If I were actually cutting past the whiteline then I would draw blood as inside the whiteline is the corium. You’re not really compromising support by trimming the toe (unless you remove more than necessary) because the weight is transferred inside the foot via the laminae and distributed throughout the dorsal wall. Here’s a video I did regarding toe length that may explain a bit more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKGkcn5mhdt8fJY

[@Hockneydog]

Nate, just wondering how u charge for more damaged hooves that need blocking and extra treatment and how much it’s if a cow only needs a routine trim?

[@JCic22]

Great video.

[@maces5607]

good job man

[@DarlyFofa]

How do you charge for your work? By cow, by hour or by the type of procedures? (or other?)

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

On a per cow basis with added charges for blocks and wraps. Trimming is $14/cow. Wraps are additional $5 and blocks are an additional $20.

[@DarlyFofa]

@@NatetheHoofGuy Thank you for replying! I was very curious about that! You're awesome, BTW!

[@nouelafendi7997]

Hi Nate have you ever had a cow with problems on both sides of the huff how would you treat it??

[@williamabbott585]

That legion looks fairly fresh judging by the number of strokes

[@mauriceryton]

That hoof material was like rubber. It appeared she was naturally shedding that hoof, your trimming has moved that along to speed up the healing. Is that correct?

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

In a way, yes.

[@childofthemighty1341]

How fast are some people lol thought I was going to be number one to like

[@cindyboard7816]

Could this be the star or lead to a toe necrosis? Or am I way way out in left field?? Something about the location made me think this looked like the necrosis. I enjoy your videos Mate. Hope this wasn't an example of a stupid question!!!😂😂 Stay safe!!!

[@cindyboard7816]

^start not star 😂

[@cindyboard7816]

Nate NOT Mate!!!! Dang autocorrect!!!!😡

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

No stupid questions. Not likely necrosis. Necrosis typically starts in the very tip of the toe.

[@toddfrymire6265]

do you spray when it bleeds quickly for the video, or does it help the cow?, just wanderin

[@spirallingstars]

probably so he can see what hes doing. also im pretty sure it has numbing stuff in it. how would it benefit the video?

This makes me wonder how this was done before they had electric grinders🤔 just plain old knife work or did they have some different tools back then? A form of grater maybe?🤷‍♀️

[@justicar5]

There are some Chinese hoof trimmers on KZbin, they work on donkeys but use various size of knife and chisel to trim, that may be more traditional, or maybe something they came up with, not sure
