I wonder whether it's common in temperate countries. I live in the tropics in an arid and semi-arid region, and I've never experienced this with our cows.

I’m so glad you were able to help this poor cow, Nate. That looked extremely painful! Please take care of yourself. We’ll be here whenever you’re able to upload. 😉

There's just something always so calming about watching a master slowly and meticulously work their craft, like they are just taking you along for a journey in their world and everything is gonna be alright. Hope your recovery is going well, Nate.

Your health is more important than our entertainment. Just focus on feeling better and helping the animals! Happy Holidays go you & all of my fellow members.

Wow... It's incredible how large an area was effected! Glad you could help her! Now, just take care of yourself... We'll wait for you to heal up -- don't push things for us!❤❤❤

Take it easy Nate! We'll be here when you get back and are feeling better, please don't pressure yourself into creating content while you're in pain.

Cheering for your full recovery. We rarely heal as fast as we'd like. Hang in there. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year 2024 🥳

I have always loved your videos and commentary, Nate. Your neck and spinal pain is what I'm thinking about now. There is no part of your work that allows for resting and healing. I just hope you are getting enough time to heal.

Thank you @rtcommodore9354. The pain is slowly improving but I feel like will always be with me.

Thanks again Nate, I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing the healing process in action. Getting that detached material out of the way to expose the true problem to the light of day just gives me a surge of dopamine! I think I've watched every video on the channel, and still, your uploads are must-see videos for me. Happy holidays, take care of your spine! Herniated discs are no joke.

Thanks for this, glad you were able to help her. Take care of yourself, neck and back pain is physically and mentally debilitating. We’ll be here until you can get better. The internet isn’t getting turned off for a while 😂

We appreciate you sticking your neck out for us Nate. It must really pith you off that you can’t get out there and work like you’re used to doing. Hang in there. Back and neck problems are THE WORST!! (3 herniated discs here)

Prayers for your healing, Nate. Take care of yourself. Have a very blessed Christmas.

So glad to see you back, but please make sure to pace yourself. I’ve had issues with my neck myself, and I don’t want to see you hurting yourself for the sake of your subscribers or to keep working when you need to rest in order to care for your body. I’ll still be here for it all. I’m not going anywhere!

In my humble opinion, this is the best hoof trimming channel. You do a great service to the cows and us viewers!

I’m always so impressed with how carefully you trim up even the most challenging hoofs (I can’t watch any of the other hoof trimming channels, they are just so rough and nonchalant) and you do it all while you are still getting the best camera angles and nursing an injury yourself! Amazing 😊

I love watching those big circular cuts with the knife! This was incredible and I'm so happy this cow is going to get some relief but don't forget to take care of yourself too!!! Do you sharpen your own knives as well? I LOVE that you take the time to bring us in close to really see whats going on! Your channel is quickly becoming my fav because its all about the trimming and education.

Neck pain is the worst. I have Stenosis so know what you're going through. Hope you heal up soon and can get off the pain meds. Cheers to a new year and good health!

Take care of you first Nate. We will all be here waiting for you and so will the cows. I love how much care you give them.

Nate, you do such careful work on the ladies and that is appreciated. However please take care of yourself and we'll be patient because you are worth it!! ❤

It was so nice to see how well the cow was walking after you treated her, Nate. Please take care of yourself so you can continue taking care of these lovely creatures!

Prayers for quick complete healing…fractured my C5 in a car accident so truly DO feel your pain!🙏🙏

Glad your back nate really was missing your soothing voice and all the knowledge you infuse into every video

Poor lady. Looks like it hurts! Don’t worry about videos. We wish you better health, Nate❤

I am not a farmer nor do I have any hooves animals so I've no idea why the YT algorithm out this video on my feed...but, I WAS MESMERIZED. You were so careful and thorough. Great work!

Love the videos, but I'd happily go a while without if it means you're staying healhty and hearty! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

We hope you're starting to fell better as you're starting back in. You've got lots of great videos to tide everyone over until you're back. My 4 year old asks to watch your videos all the time - his cow and goat stuffed animals get to watch, too, since they have hooves. His stuffed cow is hoping she'll get her hooves trimmed by you one day 😂. Here's to a healthy 2024!

Man, this one was gnarly. One of the deepest, if not THE deepest trims I've seen you have to do. Great vid!!

Great knife work as always. A full and speedy recovery to you. Happy New Year to you and the entire family, and everyone else watching as well.

Videos like this one really highlight Nate’s great knife work, and his precision, care, and gentleness. Well done as usual, Nate. 👍

That was one ‘angry’ looking hoof. That poor cow definitely got some relief, and I hope you get some relief from that herniated disc, Nate. Take care of yourself!

Take care of yourself. Disc issues are never to be taken lightly. That was a lot of DD. Hopefully you got all of it and this lady will be skipping across the fields with joy.

Hope your feeling better Nate. What happens when you can't trim? Do the cows just wait? Do you have other hoof trimmers that can help you out? Thanks.

That's what I was wondering too. I know herniated discs can really take you out. Mine wasn't even fully herniated and I had numbness in my hand coming and going so much I was scared to try to use it. The muscles around my neck also got so swollen and tight that my chest couldn't stretch when I breathed in, so breathing was painful as well.

@@NatetheHoofGuy Buddy, please take care of your body. My dad ignored his back problems for years before he finally went to the doctor. What initially could have been repairable ended up with him being too far gone for recovery, no longer capable of working, and multiple surgeries to slow down the worsening of his issues.

Putting you in my prayers to get better soon. Please take care. 🙏🕊🙏🕊✨️

Geez you can just see how angry that hoof is just looking at it.

Yes. Excellent video. May your neck heal quickly! 🙏

Wow! That poor cow, the pain she must have been in! Thanks for helping her! We pray that you get to feeling better really soon and that you and your family have an even better New Year! ❤

Take care of yourself first! You can’t help anyone (cows!) if you’re down and out! We’ll be here 😊 Best wishes for healing and success in 2024!

Wow. That hoof was GNARLY! I would love to see a few followup videos of this one. As I've learned from you, it will take at least 6-8 weeks to grow that sole back.

I'm so sorry you got hurt. I hope you heal completely. We love you, Nate The Hoof Guy

The gentleness with which you take care of the cow is just so heartwarming. I have a question though, where do the nerve endings start? At which layer would she feel it if touched?

Poor Heffer 😢 she must feel so much instant relief and post procedure rehab on that ultra soft hay must be heavenly for them. Farmers really need to make it a priority to have these animals checked out regularly for signs of distress, injury, abscess, all that stuff is obvious just by doing a quick inspection of the animal, keep them healthy, and most importantly keep them happy, I feel so sorry for animals that are suffering while under the care of a human being, really pisses me off! Regardless of the fate of the animal, while they’re alive, and under your care, keep them safe, clean, and healthy, no excuses.

Thank you, Nate, for getting back to me on my comments. I appreciate what you do for those girls. You give us faith in human humanity with all the division that is going on in this world today. God Bless.

Poor girl. That looked just so painful. So glad you could take care of her. Now, you take care of yourself. ( I’d love to see this one in a few weeks to see how the healing goes.)

Would love to see a follow up of this hoof if you ever get a chance. Hope you feel better soon and thanks for helping a momma out!

Hope you get to feeling better, Nate. This video was like a Christmas present to me because I can't do the membership and it was reminiscent of the old days, before memberships and such. Amazing content. Thank you! Hope you had an awesome Christmas and that you and your family have a blessed New Year.

Thanks for taking care of her, Nate! Now, go take care of you!!!

I have major neck problems. I hope you're not in much pain. Thanks for your kindness to these cows. Be good to yourself. ❤

The finesse with which you trimmed that piece of false sole at 6:54! Astounding.

Nate, I grew up on a farm in Central WI in the late 60's-70's and for the life of me, I do NOT ever remember any kind of "hoof care" being done. We milked 65 Holsteins so (at that time) it wasn't a small family farm, but one of the larger ones in my area. When did hoof care start to become a "thing"? Unfortunately, both parents and my older brother have passed so I can't ask them what they remember about taking care of lame issues, etc. Thanks for the videos.....they're much appreciated!

Thank you for sharing. Nate sure seems to be such a soothing patient attentive doctor and teacher. I only wish I could intern under him. I would learn so much from him. I feel blessed to have found his posts/channel. You seem so patient and kind also. Thank you.

I feel so badly for these animals. They can't talk and tell you where they hurt. So glad you can help. Take care of yourself.

Nate, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us. You will be healed.

That sure was a large area you treated. I like how you take the time to explain what you’re doing. You have a very caring/gentle touch it seems to me. If I were a cow I would appreciate your care. The cows sure seem thankful from the videos I have seen. Take care of yourself Nat. Happy New Year to you & your family. 😃

I've watched this...100+ times since it came out?! I really like trims like this where a lot of pus leaks out and there are several layers. It's a huge bonus if the white line is completely detached and the corium is infested with digital dermatitis. I know that sounds messed up but I just love it!

Take care of yourself Nate. We'll be here when you can post more. The most important thing is to heal.

Precision at it's best. This is what sets Nate the Hoof Guy apart from other hoof trimmers.

Thank you Nate , She must have been so uncomfortable with all that gunk in her hoof. It is so heartwarming to see you at work , then the girls walk away. Nice job!! Happy New Year !! 💫

I’m watching this on December 29th. If you don’t post another video this year, I wish you a happy new year and hope that your neck injury improves! 🎉🎉 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦

Hi Nate, I had the same problem with my neck, it came out of nowhere and the pain was incredible! I have DYSTONIA so long story short nothing could be done to help, so now I walk around fighting to hold my head up. Good luck with your treatment

Another wonderful job Nate…do hope your neck is more comfortable soon! 🙋‍♀️🐄💕

Take care of yourself as the spine is not something to mess with even if it means getting a hand to help.

Take care of yourself with the dedication you show in your treatment of your cows👍❤️

Thank you for taking care of the cows Nate..

Take care of yourself Nate! Thank you for the kind work you do for these precious animals. All the best for the New Year!!

Praying your neck gets better quickly. Poor cow. She had quite a mess. Always impressed with your work.

With this warm winter, it will be interesting to see how it affects them. Prayers for speedy healing. God bless.

These videos are always fun to watch and the cows are big fans of Nate as much as we are!

Amazing to see how careful you go about your business. I mean, just looking at those sores will make them bleed. You definitely have a hand for the ladies. 😎

Nate, it is so comforting to see the delicacy with which you treat her. You provide a higher standard of care than many doctors I’ve had, and it makes a difference to the QOL of any patient to be treated humanely and gently with thought to their pain and fear. With that said, please take as much rest as you can afford. Cow pedis are laborious work and your health is precious!

I would love to see updates on this particular cow.💗your caring and thorough videos.

I read that digital dermititus is mainly caused by stationary cows always inside and is relative new issues (since the 1970s it became far more common), maybe an idea to start farming more pastoral again. Thanks Nate! have a good recovery also!

It was actually brought to the US from Europe in beef cows which generally are grazing animals.

I love it how gentle you are with the trimming when you are close to the sore area! I wish all ppl that have to do with animals were that caring!

You really are gentle when you get down to the deep layers so as to not hurt the animal. You clearly care for their well-being. Respect. You're a highly skilled and compassionate professional. 🙏

You happen to be my new favorite huff horn person to watch. I love how you're so gentle when doing their feet. You're so good at what you do I haven't seen many of your videos where their feet bleed and with that I'm so happy for that. You're great at your job. Thank you for being gentle.

Is it just me who finds his voice very very soothing?????

We had about 75 dairy cows for 30 years (1976-2007) and I helped my Dad treat a lot of sore feet. Didn't have a chute, just used a sling and a come-along to lift their legs. I can't say as we ever cut away nearly as much of the hoof as you guys regularly show, and they generally got better. Have hoof problems and hoof care really changed that much in recent years?

Happy New Year 🎉 to you and your family!🎉🎉🎉 That poor girl. Prayers for a speedy recovery and more videos.

Take good care! Sorry to hear of your neck pain!!

Ive been watching your vids since you had 40k subs. Love to see how big the channel got. I cant imagine how painful that was for the poor cow. I had an abcess once. I got poked by a sewing needle pretty deep I stepped on and ended up with a lump on the sole of my foot the size of a small grape or malt ball or something. It hurt so bad I couldnt walk.

Prayers and happy new year.😊 No you have not become a pain in the neck. Always enjoy your videos 😊

Prayers are going up for a supernatural healing. Blessings to you for the excellent work you have done and are doing for these hurting cows. Take care and do not overwork yourself.

It was such a relief to watch you slowly and gently remove those last layers. I was so tense! But that cow and all your patients are lucky to have a caring and careful master of your trade helping them out.

Please just be careful and get better. I know you must be in pain. I hope you get relief soon. Thanks for helping the moo moos.

I love the part when all of the old stuff is cut away and underneath is all raw, and when you spray out all the debris. Just the fresh air getting to it must feel soooo good for that animal!!!

Man, you do a great job with your work ! You take good care of your Animals ❤ !!!

I enjoy all the dairy foods I consume every day. I feel deeply about these animal's care. This was really heart-wrenching to watch. Thank you for the work you do.

Praying for you. Neck pain can be terrible.

Wow! That hoof had a really bad problem!! That poor cow was hurting for sure! Thanks for helping her! Also, hope you get your neck and back fixed and feeling much better soon.

I feel for you with the herniated disk. Did my t7/8 last year and am still getting over it after surgery. Look after yourself and keep warm please. 🙏

I love how careful you are. Get better soon.

Spent my earliest years on a small family dairy farm near Kansas City KS so cows were part of my daily life, but never saw things like this. Fascinating.

Probably the best hoof-trim video I've ever seen about digital dermatitis, the footage is EXCELLENT 👍👍👍 . Thank's a lot.

Nate we love you for loving and helping these beautiful cows ❤

Take care of yourself. I’m in the same boat. With some torn tendons, ligaments and a partial tear hamstring tear. I watching you to recover. Thanks for the interesting content.

That is SO much dermatitis!! Poor girl! Feel better soon, both of you. 😢

Dang she had it rough, probably feels great now it can heal properly! Unrelated to the video but, do cows recognise you if you visit the farm often enough? :)
