WHY WON’T SHE USE THIS HOOF??

[@daniell1483]

Every time I see a cow after a trim, I realize all over again how expressive they are with their faces. The way they often glance at Nate, as if it is registering for them that Nate is the one who took their hurt away. I think it is the eyes that are most expressive, really.

[@swiftfated]

In ancient greece, women (Hera especially) were called "cow-eyed" to describe how beautiful they were.

[@daniell1483]

@@swiftfated That is awesome! I never knew. And it is amazing to me how people thousands of miles away and thousands of years in the past had the same opinions and ideas (about the eyes being so expressive), it goes to show that some human behaviors are truly universal.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

To me, a cow's expression never changes, Totally Clueless, even when they are standing on a Railway Track, looking at the Train bearing down on them.

[@daniell1483]

@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 I used to think that way, before I got more experience seeing how cows express themselves through body language. Give it time and you will start to see those signals too.

[@dr.pepperbiggestfan]

they really are just big ol puppies. the only time i met a cow up close was as a kid and she accidentally knocked me over when she tried to investigate me. she looked concerned and confused like “why is this calf so light???” it was very funny and sweet

[@gwilliams4674]

I love that Nate applies the wrap as an overkill precaution. Shows real care for the animal and real care for his craft. ❤

[@bwenluck9812]

It's *not* overkill!!! It's serving a purpose. It helps cushion that hoof so the cow can comfortably stand and walk on it and it keeps debris from the sole in an effort to keep that lesion from getting infected...

[@kokuhakuqiun4215]

@@bwenluck9812 also keeps the infection from getting worse if the cow already does happen to have an infection in their hoof. Because debris could make it worse with all the gross stuff from the ground and whatnot.

You’re a throwback to what this app used to be. No cheesy intro music, no talking just to talk, having your face all in camera and doing everything you can to make your videos ten minutes. By far the best hoof trimming channel around.

Why do you folks feel the need to trash Graham??? If you don't like HoofGP, just don't watch him.... Personally, I watch both, because you can never know too much!!! Nate and Graham have rubbed elbows and if Graham is good enough for Nate, he's good enough for me!!!!

[@DOLfirst]

I noticed this too... her weird shaped legs, posture and how her feet flare out, almost ducklike. Perhaps it's from having sore feet for an extended period of time? Maybe congenital? Maybe due to an old injury?

Wisconsin has the best cheese for a reason!! It is a secret ingredient called loving care, from the hoof up 🐄

[@honeycrispsnail4032]

tried watching a few other hoof trimmers once, and they’re all SO heavy-handed with their knives. like one of the guys i watched cut in huge chunks, made the entire length of the corium bleed, and made the cow flinch and kick with each swipe. at the end, he wiped it dry with a paper towel and added the loosest bandage wrap that i’ve ever seen. it was so crazy and sad. it really made me appreciate this guy a lot more with how steady and patient he is with the cows.

[@jessicapearson9479]

It never ceases to amaze me that people do not realize that horses are not the only animals that need their hooves taken care of!!

[@Cricket2731]

Along with cows, there's all the domestic hoofstock that needs pedicures--goats, sheep, alpacas, llamas, etc.

[@bwenluck9812]

We know, we just don't think about it too much. You can ignore other animals but if you ignore a horse's feet, people will turn you into authorities!!!! 😉

[@siangibby5771]

Thanks so much for helping this girl, Nate!

[@TerryProthero]

I don't see people trimming dew claws too much. Once every several videos maybe. The big exception being when Hoof GP had a cow with a super long one. It was several inches long and was dragging on the ground and would likely have been bothersome for the cow. But with a quick trim, it was fine again. From what I have read, they actually do serve a function. They help the cow get better traction as they walk. I assume that helps on more slippery surfaces.

[@investigator77]

Nate, you must get such a good feeling when you see those cows walk away like that. Being able to relieve so much of her pain, is really a gift. You always do such a good job, and an extra step is never a wasted step, if it will give her even a short bit of relief while you're waiting for the horn to start covering it. Poor girl!

[@oldcrowslanding]

I just hate to see animals suffer and am so glad Nate is able to help these lovely creatures.

[@jeannetteashlin1725]

I am sure that was a huge relief for her. It's just like us if we got a foot problem we got to a doctor to get it checked out. She has a farrier to help her out with her lameness issue. I am sure she feels much better now. Thank you for helping her. I am sure a cow in pain affects their milk production too.
