This Hoof Will TRICK YOUR MIND

[@347Jimmy]

While I'll probably never trim a hoof, I always enjoy being talked to like I'm Nate's trusty apprentice

[@mandydavidson6694]

Exactly! I really appreciate having the detailed information. I love going away with that extra understanding. Thank you Nate 😊💫

[@BBnSam1215]

Same. He’s a great teacher.

[@tamirhadad9891]

a big part of this channel's charm is the fact that you explain everything in detail, a bit like a hangout with dad or somthing. i don't see any reason to be apologetic about it, i'm sure most of your viewers enjoy that aspect too.

[@CharmagnCody-mw6zr]

For sure! Especially one like this where it, the lesion, wasn't where one would expect it to be

[@sarahbasto6520]

I must confess (sorry) I find that rather repetitive and dull. Sorry, no intention of hating or anything around that. Just my thoughts. Another thing I find on the comments sections of Nates channel every so often is people comparing him to Graeme and how "superior" his videos are. There's no reason whatsoever for Nate to keep such comments active and thriving.

[@CharmagnCody-mw6zr]

@@sarahbasto6520 well I mean it is his competition... It's also not like Nate himself is the one writing these comments or putting them up. . . Why would he want to take something down that shines a positive light on him? To protect the competition? People say those things for a reason.. I'm also pretty sure that HGP has a lot more followers than Nate as it is, so it's not like it's hurting him.

[@Samuel-o7j2f]

It just came to me. Watching Nate work and hearing him talk and explain how he's doing things is almost enchanting, similar to watching and listening to Bob Ross paint. Nate! The Bob Ross of fixing cow hoofs! My life is far removed from cows and hoofs but it is so calming and relaxing watching Nate's videos. It's therapeutic.

[@cheryltaylor6078]

In my house when Bob Ross would come on TV none of us ever saw the finished painting cuz we all fell asleep lol

[@Trix897]

Yep, all those happy little black dots… I get it!

[@JulieFabQ]

Wow yes nail on head man

[@bloodmanor8]

Most definitely! I watched a couple other hoof videos that were recommended and they just don't have the same feel to them.

[@siangibby5771]

Sitting here at my desk at work I said out loud, "My goodness! LOOK at all that hoof separation!"

[@Diamanrouge]

That's the moment you know Nate is doing something good. Never set a foot near a farm herd in my life and YET

[@mariaharrison7228]

Oooops!

Good work

[@66block84]

This morning as I was putting peanut butter on my toast, I started to apply some to the edge like you do on the blocks you put on the cow's hoof. I had to stop and say wait a minute, just what are you doing? Yes I talk to myself. ;-)

[@djwheels66]

I could seriously watch Nate The Hoof Guy continuously all day long!!!!!!! These are so amazing, calming, insightful, educational and makes me so happy.

Am i a cow hoof trimmer? No Do i own any cows? No Do i even have a farm? No Do i even live in the country? No Do i want to do any of the above? No Have i watched every video since i found you 1.5 years ago? YES Lmao I always enjoy the explanations too, never change

[@fiction-]

98% of my knowledge is completely useless stuff I learned from educational videos that have no bearing on my life. Thank you for the education, no matter how useless it is; I love it all.

[@christineswint1486]

Nate, I will probably never do your job or even live on a farm, but I love watching you take care of these animals. I can't imagine where they would be without you.

[@oncenterline]

Love seeing the claw being relieved of pressure. David Bowie would be proud.

[@actuallyitisrocketscience]

You have the best channel for hoof trimming. I appreciate that you explain everything, you make sure we can see what you’re doing and you don’t fill the time with excess drama. It’s all about the cow in your videos.

[@cathy_p637]

When you pointed to the 2 little black dots I was like "yes, I knew that was it". Then You said no and totally deflated me...🤣🤣

[@Trix897]

After a crazy day of either preparing hospital reporting to Medicaid and Medicare or dealing with auditors for said reporting, it’s so nice to wind down with one of your videos. Thank you for doing what you do: demonstrating and educating us about the art of hoof trimming that you do so well. Thank you for the moments of peace and relaxation.

[@philipfoy7116]

Nate, you are easily the best knife technician out there, great to watch.

[@yvettedial700]

I totally agree! Best knife work online 👍🏽

[@lmae989]

So very well done - your knowledge and skill and gentleness with the ladies is unmatched. I learn so much and can’t get enough of your explanations. I even like watching the cow walk off. Fan for life. ❤

[@twilightzone-ex-hostage1997]

I am a lover of all knowledge, so I appreciate every lesson!! Thanks Nate

[@shawnbooth4990]

I love how you explain the problem and what you’re doing and why. Thanks Nate!!

[@seleneablar6881]

I very much felt like Watson and just as much in awe at this whole video ❤️

[@Sylvelourie]

Yet again Nate proves he is the master of hoof trimming!

[@jamiedenton4492]

I love how you explain things. This is a job that I have no real understanding about, and I admit, I find it fascinating. Thank you for these videos.

[@GayleHallAZ]

You’re the best at what you do, Nate! I love to hear the details and explanations of what you find as you work. The sweet cows are blessed to have you as their farrier!

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

I caught the dots, but they weren't the answer. I did note that with all the damage underneath, it looked like this problem had been going on a while. You explanation, of hoof horn growing and shifting the location of things, was appreciated. Like the idea that an internal problem lets the rest get started.

[@ascensionenergetics85]

The entire reason I watch these is to learn information and techniques about something I’ll probably never need. 😂😂

[@KaedennYT]

The videos where you end up taking massive cuts, removing a lot of material in a single swipe, are quite satisfying. You rarely get to see chunks like that; most of the time it's all about being delicate and precise. But _getting_ to the delicate precision, sometimes you just go full send.

[@mariaharrison7228]

Yes, we want to know, we need to know, we love the cows and we need to know how each problem is cared for. You never know when one of us may need to help one of these gorgeous ladies. We will be ready to serve. 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

[@HugsXO]

Oh my gosh, this was a great video. Thank you for further explaining the problem and how the problem moved with the growth of the hoof horn. ❤❤❤❤

[@yamnjam]

Cows hide a whole world of problems in their hooves. Almost invisible at the surface level, but dig down and there's more than meets the eye.

[@H3lios227]

It's always a good day when Nate gives us a new video

[@anniekinsmishkamouse7575]

No idea why, but I find it satisfying and relaxing to watch the separated horn being removed.

[@enderpavs3957]

Never been this early before! I know its going to be amazing to watch him work.

[@doubles7533]

Great tutorial, Nate ! I could see that your knife was very sharp in this episode! Love your channel!

[@Lukelins1]

Your voice overs are getting better and better. Really good explanation

[@nightphantom1131]

I feel so strange for absolutely LOVING that first big swipe of your knife, the one that usually reveals a deep pocket of delaminated hoof horn😂 it's such a thrill, like someone discovering a cave for the first time and wanting to go and check it out

[@loki244ti]

Actually, watching you has helped me improve my goats hoofs, so thank you.

[@Amy-Bo-Bamy]

No Nate, I will never need to know that, but it is still FASCINATING! 😂 And after watching so many of your videos, your explanation gave me a clearer picture in my mind of how the hoof grows and how the areas of damage carry through that growth. Who knows, maybe it will be applicable to something else someday.😊

[@corinschick8172]

She looks pretty comfortable now Nate. Good work!

[@Star1412s]

A horse barn I work with actually got a Highland cow recently as a pet. I was able to tell that her hooves weren't balanced right because of these videos. Hopefully they can get a trimmer to come in soon.

[@Etherglide]

A little bit of knowledge is a very dangerous thing.

[@teshgsgsh1791]

Yes! Yes it is useful to me. I love watching these videos but I always feel a little dumb because I still can't figure out where/why there's a problem. It's nice knowing how you figure it out.

[@marlamartucci6071]

Great job Nate!!!❤ And thank you for an excellent description of the problem! So interresting... please continue them😊

[@lisatanz]

I so enjoy learning something from each video, although I struggle finding the problem unless it’s blatantly obvious. More importantly, I admire how gentle you are with the cows. It’s quite apparent how you want them to feel comfortable and be as healthy as possible. Thank you for being a gentle soul to these big guys.

[@gaynorprice-jones1826]

Quite apart from seeing the good job being done fixing the cows' problems, I thoroughly enjoy your explanations and the knowledge I pick up. And yes, you are correct as a sixty year old woman with a bad back I'm not likely to need to call on that education! Thank you Nate as always. Kind regards to your family from the Welsh Marches.

[@davidbarnes241]

As congratulations, you bamboozled me totally. I’d have put money on a sole ulcer, but that’s because I’m an armchair trimmer 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kyra577]

Listen, you’re right and in all likelihood I’ll never trim a single cow hoof in my life, but I like to know these things just in case there’s a random future where I’m like an apocalypse dairy farmer or something

Wow! I never would’ve guessed all that mess was underneath there! 😯🤷🏼‍♀️ Your the hoofmaster!!! 🥳🥳😂👍🌷

Gold standard for KZbin cattle hooftrimmers

[@Tsunad360]

Appreciate the dedication

[@Becky-dw8lw]

How did farmers way, way back keep the hoofs in good shape without crushes, and super glues with blocks and electric grinders? By the way thanks for instructing all of us. We might not use the knowledge in our daily lives but you can bet those of us that are addicted to these videos want, or need, to know what you are doing and why you are doing it. I wonder how many of the folks have farmers in their ancestry like I do. I just figure it’s in my genes to be interested in this type of video. I remember once on a car trip as a kid my mom saying she would like a herd of black Angus. I thought it was an odd thing to say but I was a kid so I didn’t ask. Later with Ancestry I found out that many many of my ancestors were farmers going back to at least the 1700’s in the United States. Her own dad farmed as did his father who lived in the middle of the state of Illinois in farm country in the middle of the United States of America. So there you have to reason my mom yearned for a herd of black angus cattle and me watching cow and bull hoof trimming on KZbin 65 years later.

[@DavidRogers-r5q]

I love the calm demeanor. It makes the content relaxing. I grew up on a beef cattle farm but these dairy operations are total different from my experiences. Thanks for teaching all of us so much about hoof trimming. I will probably never use it but it interesting.

[@debrapaulino918]

Ive many of these and find ot very interesting with your explanations. This is an important profession we dont hear about. My 3rd gr.grandfather was a farrier. That was 1830's and a couple of decades on I'm sure. These videos have connected me to those grandparents. They homesteaded in WI and are buried near Madison.

Oh, Nate---you're having fun with us, having us search for little black dots. It's true that a cosmic-level catastrophe would have to happen for me to became the only person to trim hooves, but I find it very informative anyway. So you just keep trolling me about where the problem is! 😂

[@louisbaghec2570]

Hands down the best hoof trimmer out there!

[@erdvilla]

I once was in a farm when the trimmer found a bullet casing on a foot. It was a very small caliber, explains why it was easier for it to remain vertical and not horizontal in which case it would've been flattened and buried. I think the owner told his son to stop using the rifle on the field, period. I think he did so when the cows were housed, he wouldn't scare them but metal on the field is always bad.

[@kayefj]

Love the detail! Question:why not brush the manure off the exterior of the hoof before starting? Seems leaving it there could lead to wound contamination.

[@railroad1973]

I enjoy all your videos. I find them educational for me

[@DG-wu7ke]

It made a big difference in her day, for sure.

[@jjfaris]

Thank you, Nate

[@loisbolton1800]

She practically danced away from the chute! Thanks for a fascinating video.

[@childofcascadia]

I thought it was up the outside wall by the heel bulb. The reason why was the pinkness on the heel bulb. Not off to the left.

[@marin706]

You are an excellent teacher - open your own hoof trimming school! Or conduct seminars for those of us who will never trim a cow’s hoof but find this incredibly interesting. (The hallmark of an active brain is learning new and interesting things that are outside your regular wheelhouse.)

[@seanp777]

Question about the glue for the Blocks. I see the mixing nozzles which I think are a cool item. How often do you have to replace the nozzle, every application or do they last the day? I know that once the glue is mixed it has a set curing time. I've always been curious. I always love my "Uncle Nate" videos 😊

[@Sarah24871]

On average, how long do you spend on any one farm or does it vary depending what you're there for?

[@Nix-Man]

[@kellyhoy3902]

Ya , I need to know. Keep telling us.

[@ChristineKrannich]

Nate, how long will it take for that claw to be completely parallel to the other one on that foot, please? My unedumacated guess is 4-6 months; it looked like you went deep. Thanks for another fantastic video!

[@bracken_3164]

I hate it when the problem is in the wall horn. Watching you cut that down is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. It is so hard for me to watch. 😬

[@andrewpaige6571]

Thank you for explaining, and give us details about his hoof

[@57broncster]

Nate the hoof guy, how do you take the block off later? I’m sure you’ve said, but I’ve often wondered. Enjoy your videos!

[@Appl_Jax]

Hey Nate, with the farmers you work with, are you usually _the_ guy to handle cow hoof trimming or is it not uncommon for them to have multiple cow hoof trimmers? As far as I know, you have a pretty close relationship with them and you might be one of maybe a handful of trimmers in the area. Or perhaps some farms are large enough that there's an army of trimmers to help out.

[@CedesandBartleby]

That’s why I couldn’t do this. I’d be like that’s it for sure, or this, or this, this is it for sure, wait maybe this, nope this, yep that is it. And now I’m fired

[@benjaminpersinger5907]

You may have answered this in another video but I've not seen it - why do you always rub the glue along the outside of the foot before lining up the block where it'd going on the bottom?

[@carlorielmendez6505]

Question: I've noticed whenever a damaged hoof just kept growing and the worn out but undamaged hoof is just too short, why leave the toe end of the damaged hoof long? Sometimes I'd notice the end result could be 30% or more difference in terms of the final length of the trim.

[@ruralconservative6625]

Nate, Do you ever break a knife by accident cutting through Dry or hard horn?
